LCBS Spotlight: Legends Comix and Games

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 3, 2009 | Columns

The following is easily the most “personal” of all the LCBS write ups I’ve done. Why, you ask? Well, because this was my LCBS shop for the greater part of 6-7 years. That’s a long time to frequent a shop, if I do say so myself. This place, to me, was the comic equivalent of […]

This Month in Comics: A Wrap Up of the Best and Worst of October

By Gilbert Short | Oct 31, 2009 | Columns

October was a fantastic month, for the most part. I mean, it has to be a DAMN Good month if the final issue of Planetary didn’t even make RUNNER UP. So what did I think of the month? Read on to find out. You might be surprised, but then again, you might not be. Check […]

Saturday Showdown: Steve vs. Bucky

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 31, 2009 | Columns

For the second edition of our Saturday Showdown series, Matt and I discuss one of the hottest topics in comics today: should Steve Rogers or Bucky Barnes be Captain America after Captain America: Reborn. Matt felt very passionately that Steve is the one and only Captain America, while I took a slightly different approach. Which […]

Friday Recommendation: Hellsing Vol. 1

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 30, 2009 | Columns

If the fact he’s packing massive heat wasn’t enough badassery for you, he’s also a bloodsucker.Article originally written by Jewels I think this is befitting as my first recommendation, as well as my first post in general. I’ve always been a huge fan of this franchise, and it IS October after all. >:D Bear in […]

Character Spotlight: Psylocke

By Gilbert Short | Oct 28, 2009 | Columns

In last the premiere Saturday Showdown between Matt and David, something was brought up that hurt me to my very core. David dissed my girl Psylocke. Everyone who’s a regular reader knows she’s my favorite X-Man. and well, I think it calls for a Character Spotlight. The woman known has Elisabeth “Betsy” Braddock has a […]

Small Press Spotlight: Barry Ween, Boy Genius

By David Harper | Oct 27, 2009 | Columns

This week on my Small Press Spotlight series, I’d like to highlight an older series (it ran from 1999 to 2003…sort of) that is woefully under read. Before I announce the title, I do want to say a few caveats: the first three issue series was released by decidedly not small press Image Comics, but […]

LCBS Spotlight: That’s Entertainment!

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 27, 2009 | Columns

I think that, when it comes to reviewing comic book shops, there are a lot of things you have to take in to consideration, and I’ve been doing my best with it. Selection of new comics, as well as old, along with trades and extra goodies littered about are all things I take into consideration […]

Saturday Showdown: Matt Fraction’s Uncanny X-Men

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 24, 2009 | Columns

Look at Wolverine’s bicep! We have a new weekly feature for you starting today, it’s called Saturday Showdown, in which two of our writers will take a current event, title, concept, or whatever as long as it involves comics and provide two opinions that live in direct opposition of each other. Recently while doing reviews […]

Friday Recommendation: Detective Comics

By David Harper | Oct 23, 2009 | Columns

This week I am stepping in for fellow writer Brandon, as he has engagements that prevent him from being able to get a Friday Recommendation to you, our fair readers. However, that works out for all of us as that means you get a double dose of David, as this week and next week will […]

LCBS Spotlight: Comicopia

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 20, 2009 | Columns

It was a lazy Sunday. Sitting on the couch with my girlfriend watching old episodes of LOST while it rained outside, I found myself surfing the internet and reading about upcoming comics. As I flitted around the internet, I found myself gravitating toward a website I had seen before – the website to the comic […]

Small Press Spotlight: Laika

By David Harper | Oct 20, 2009 | Columns

Today we have a new feature for you here at Multiversity Comics. Every Tuesday, we’ll write up a breakdown on an original graphic novel or a comic series that has caught our interest with its high quality, but that series has to come from a small press publisher. While we love our comics from the […]

Character Spotlight: Maggott

By Brandon Burpee | Oct 18, 2009 | Columns

One character I love that never got his chance to shine was named Japeth. More frequently known as Maggott. Introduced during the mid 90’s right around the time of Operation Zero Tolerance Maggott quickly joined the X-Men. Then even quicker was booted and sent down to Generation X. Sadly, his stint with Generation X was […]

Friday Recommendation: JLA Earth 2

By Gilbert Short | Oct 16, 2009 | Columns

It’s no secret that we here on Multiversity Comics love our Grant Morrison. More often than not, we find his books the most challenging, the most engaging, and more importantly, the most fun. And when he’s paired with an artist like Frank Quitely, well something special happens where the sum is greater than its parts. […]

Character Anti-Spotlight: The Red Hulk

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 14, 2009 | Columns

When we first came up with the concept of Character Spotlights, it was in order to help give certain characters a boost in fandom. Of course, David managed to sneak in there a little bit of an anti-spotlight one day (in regards to The Sentry), and thus the Anti-Spotlight was born. Something has been brewing […]

LCBS Spotlight: New England Comics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 13, 2009 | Columns

This is a new feature I’d been meaning to implement for a while now, and with our site hits picking up, I believe it’s definitely time to bring it out! The single most important thing to any comic book nerd anywhere on the planet is his LCBS, or Local Comic Book Shop/Store. Without these, there […]

You can follow us there for all our updates, special news, and probably pictures of cats! Probably. But why stop there? I […]

The Dangers Of Christopher Nolan’s Batman

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 11, 2009 | Columns

I have often stated, much to the annoyance of everyone around me, that I don’t think Christopher Nolan’s Batman films are all that great. Sure, they’re well acted and well written, but in contexts of the comic book source material, they’re highly inaccurate and put a veil over new reader’s eyes as to what Batman […]

Welcome to Emitown

By David Harper | Oct 10, 2009 | Columns

As a fan of comics, you’re quick to realize how new favorites come in the most surprising of places. Whether it’s bizarre quarterly books like Brahm Revel’s black and white ape Vietnam soldier epic Guerrillas, superimposed Final Fantasy sprite comedic powerhouse 8-bit Theater, or graphic novels you read about on blogs like Nick Abadzis’ Laika, […]

Friday Recommendation: Sleeper

By David Harper | Oct 9, 2009 | Columns

With Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ current collaboration Criminal restarting this week as the initial issue of their new arc The Sinners is being released, I could only think of one book to recommend this Friday: Sleeper. Sleeper was the second collaboration between Brubaker and Phillips and it was the first thing I ever read […]

Friday Recommendation: Invincible

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 2, 2009 | Columns

I’ve recently gone on somewhat of a graphic novel buying spree. I have this HUGE list of graphic novels I believe I have to own (actually typed out in full in a nice Excell spreadsheet) and I’ve been going to different comic book stores seeing what deals I can get on books. I’ve picked up […]

This Month in Comics: A Wrap Up of the Best and the Worst of September

By David Harper | Sep 30, 2009 | Columns

It’s my turn to give you all the breakdown on the best and worst from the world of comics this month, and I can safely say it was a great month in comics. When trying to figure out what the “worst” books and moments were, it was pretty difficult. That is not something I can […]
