The Weekend Week In Review (5/21/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 21, 2011 | Columns

Want to keep up with the ever-advancing continuity porn of the DC and Marvel universes, but simply don’t have the time or money to buy every ongoing? We’re here to help. Our newest column, the Weekend Week In Review, gives you ((usually) very) brief synopses of what happened in a select few of DC and […]

Friday Recommendation: Alex Toth’s Eclipso

By Patrick Tobin | May 20, 2011 | Columns

1960s DC: mostly crazy but occasionally, just occasionally, pure genius. I know, I know. “Genius” and “Eclipso” in the same thought pattern? Hop in the time machine after the jump and I’ll explain myself. You don’t need me to tell you that Alex Toth was a genius. There are plenty of people who’ll swear by […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Robocop vs. Terminator

By Patrick Tobin | May 19, 2011 | Columns

Robocop. Terminator. Frank Miller. Walt Simonson. Nothing short of total war, in the best possible way — after the jump. Back in 1992, people still had some degree of respect for Frank Miller. He had a seemingly unassailable position at the comics vanguard, using his clout to stand up for creator rights and co-found the […]

Fund It!: The Weekly 616

By Walt Richardson | May 18, 2011 | Columns

When comic fans discuss impressive landmarks in the past decade or so of the medium, one of the first things to be mentioned is DC’s 52. Even with four of DC’s best writers, skepticism ran high regarding whether or not a weekly ongoing series could succeed. It passed with flying colors, though, and serves as […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (5/18/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 18, 2011 | Columns

There’s a lot of cool stuff coming out this week, and with the Multiversity staff’s varied interests, our lists reflect the varied selection that’s available today. Whose taste seems to most align with you, and thus best reflect the best choices for you? What superhero appears on all of our lists? Find out after the […]

Off The Cape: 365 Samurai And A Few Bowls Of Rice

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 17, 2011 | Columns

Welcome to the triumphant return of Off The Cape! After a few months hiatus, we are bringing it back and better than ever with a whole slew of titles lined up to talk about. Your hosts for this return will be myself and the return of David Harper, who will be alternating weeks with me […]

Friday Recommendation – Black Heart Billy

By Joshua Mocle | May 14, 2011 | Columns

Some comics try and redefine the medium by pushing boundaries and throwing their characters into impossibly tragic experiences just to see how they come out on the other end. Other comics aim to intentionally not break the mold and work within the conventions of the medium to tell a story the way they’ve always been […]

Fund It!: The New(er) Teen Titans

By Walt Richardson | May 11, 2011 | Columns

Teen Titans has had a bit of a tumultuous time. When the latest volume was started by Geoff Johns in the early 2000’s, it was easily one of DC’s best titles. Since then, it has somewhat stalled out, with plenty of terrible stories “gracing” the pages of the book that used to be one of […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Judgment Day

By Patrick Tobin | May 11, 2011 | Columns

There are two Judgment Day crossovers that I’m aware of within the history of superhero comics. One of them is written by Alan Moore. This is the other one. And boy, is it… it’s really something. Let’s chat after the jump, because I’m not sure the things there are to say about this Judgment Day […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (5/11/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 11, 2011 | Columns

This is one of those weeks where all of my favorite comics come out at the same time. On the one hand, this is awesome: tons of great comics at once! On the other hand, it makes this week’s Comics Should Be Cheap a bit predictable to those who have been checking out this column […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | May 9, 2011 | Columns

It’s another week and another set of covers. I apologize that this week is a little late, but I was rather busy on Mother’s Day. Hope all the Mothers out there had a good one, and I hope that all of you with Mothers (whether biological or just in influence) took time out of your days […]

The Weekend Week In Review (5/7/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 7, 2011 | Columns

Want to keep up with the ever-advancing continuity porn of the DC and Marvel universes, but simply don’t have the time or money to buy every ongoing? We’re here to help. Our newest column, the Weekend Week In Review, gives you a (very) brief synopsis of what happened in a select few of DC and […]

Friday Recommendation: Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing

By Walt Richardson | May 6, 2011 | Columns

To continue beating a dead horse, a lot of people have been irritated at the changes Geoff Johns brought to Swamp Thing in the pages of Brightest Day. Newer readers, however, have been asking the question “who cares?” I’ll tell you who: almost anyone who has read Alan Moore’s run on Saga of the Swamp […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers Friday Special: Blood and Thunder

By Patrick Tobin | May 6, 2011 | Columns

Just in time for both the Thor movie and the currently Norse-heavy Fear Itself, we take a look back at one of the relatively few major crossovers in Thor’s history. As shocking as it might seem that Thor has never really had that many Marvel-wide events focused on him, it might be moreso that the […]

Fund It! – Brian Wood’s Wildstorm

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 5, 2011 | Columns

This Fund It! will be shorter than usual, because to be truthful the work has been done for us. It’s a rare occurence that we are so lucky as to hear of a probable pitch as opposed to writing our own, but sometimes you hear of a proposed pitch that grips your ears enough to […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (5/4/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 4, 2011 | Columns

This week we have the latest in Marvel’s summer event, the latest ongoing by two massive names in the industry, a few great creator-owned series, a few over-sized (and thus pricey) issues, and a few other goodies. What made the cut on our personal lists? What didn’t? Follow the jump to find out! Walt’s Picks: […]

This Month in Comics: April 2011

By Gilbert Short | May 3, 2011 | Columns

Comic from letsbefriendsagain.com This month was almost impossible. While I had some rather obvious choices in mind for worst books this month, there were so many GOOD comics it was very difficult to choose books definitively for the best spots. After much thought, I finally picked what they could be, and the results are behind […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | May 1, 2011 | Columns

Ok, I know. It’s been awhile since one of these has seen the light of day. It’s been an incredibly busy month for me with baby appointments and my wife finishing her Masters degree. Now things have slowed down and I have some relative down time. So to make up for my absence I am […]

Friday Recommendation: Gotham Central

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 29, 2011 | Columns

On occasion, I buy whole series of books without reading them. You might be thinking, “What? Why? That’s a lot of money on an admittedly huge gamble.” You’re 100% right – it absolutely is. You see, I’m easily suckered into the glitz and glamour of things like “Deluxe Edition” this or “Absolute” that. If you’re […]

Fund It!: The "Return" of John Constantine

By Walt Richardson | Apr 28, 2011 | Columns

So it appears that everyone’s favorite magician, John Constantine, is back. Well, he’s never really been gone, but in recent years Constantine’s involvement with the DC Universe has been very, very limited. Now, though, it appears that the Laughing Magician will soon be making his return to the world of brightly-colored capes and tights – […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Fire From Heaven

By Patrick Tobin | Apr 27, 2011 | Columns

Late again — becoming a trend whenever I get to Image stuff. You know, though, I tried, for this one. I really tried. It was all supposed to be so simple. A big crossover of the WildStorm universe’s properties, pre-DC. Alan Moore and Warren Ellis scripts. Some of their key artists, too: Jim Lee. J. […]
