LCBS Spotlight: Bedrock Comics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 17, 2009 | Columns

We’re coming close to the end of MA reign of LCBS spotlights. While there are several stores I’ve been too that are worth mentioning, I don’t visit them enough in order to be able to write concise commentary on the store. As far as memory serves, there’s only two stores I have left that I […]

Small Press Spotlight: Blankets

By David Harper | Nov 17, 2009 | Columns

In this week’s edition of my Small Press Spotlight series, I’m targeting one of the most critically lauded and popular graphic novels of the past decade: Craig Thompson’s Blankets. This title was released by Top Shelf Productions in 2003, and has since went on to win Harvey, Eisner and Ersatz awards for his writing, art, […]

Saturday Showdown: Who is Norman’s Secret Weapon?

By David Harper, Matthew Meylikhov, Gilbert Short and Brandon Burpee | Nov 14, 2009 | Columns

With Brian Michael Bendis’ Dark Reign culminating event Siege coming up, there is a lot of excitement. We have the return of the classic Avengers, we have an epic battle over the fate of Asgard, and much, much more. Yet perhaps the plot point that is being received with the most interest on the eve […]

Friday Recommendation: Madame Mirage

By Gilbert Short | Nov 13, 2009 | Columns

A small beef was ignited a couple of weeks ago during our Francis Manapul. It was nothing serious, and I don’t even think anyone at Top Cow was truly miffed, but our interviewer made a small crack about the genre of so called “T & A” comics and it was misconstrued as us not liking […]

LCBS Spotlight: Newbury Comics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 10, 2009 | Columns

I’ve just about run out of comic book stores in MA to discuss, and in the next few weeks I’ll be moving into stores in other states. Exciting! However, before I can leave my home state and begin the chronicles of my travels, there was one article I had to write first. This is something […]

Small Press Spotlight: Mouse Guard

By David Harper | Nov 10, 2009 | Columns

This week in our Small Press Spotlight series, I’ll be taking a look at Archaia Press’ and their highly touted release from David Petersen – Mouse Guard. Mouse Guard is an Eisner award winning series that truly came out of nowhere to take the comic world by storm in 2006. While it is highly esteemed, […]

Saturday Showdown: Blackest Night at the Half

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 8, 2009 | Columns

For this edition of Saturday Showdown, we have Matt and I discussing Blackest Night at the half way point. We’re now four issues in to Blackest Night proper and a lot has happened. The question is simple: has it lived up to the hype. Is it everything we thought it could be and more…or does […]

Friday Recommendation: Generation X

By Brandon Burpee | Nov 6, 2009 | Columns

I picked Generation X as my Friday Rec this week. It ‘s an older series and isn’t readily available in trades but if you can find the initial run by Chris Bachalo and Scott Lobdell it is worth your time and money. Their initial run was filled with adventure, fun and off the wall oddball […]

Small Press Spotlight: The Golem’s Mighty Swing

By David Harper | Nov 3, 2009 | Columns

This week on Small Press Spotlight, I’ll be looking at James Sturm The Golem’s Mighty Swing, a 2001 original graphic novel from Drawn and Quarterly. Drawn and Quarterly is a comic publisher out of Canada that actually is the biggest in Canada and really focuses on producing high quality graphic novels and comics. From what […]

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 […]
