By Alice W. Castle | Apr 30, 2014 | Columns

Hey, everybody! It’s time for another exciting instalment of Multiversity Comics’ Art Of The Week! You know, maybe it’s because I finally caught up with “Marvel Knights: Spider-Man” (boy, that Marco Rudy is one hell of an artist), but I really felt like featuring a Spider-Man piece this week. Thankfully, Evan Shaner has the best […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (4/30/2014)

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 29, 2014 | Columns

Buying comics can be an expensive hobby. A lot of fans simply can’t afford everything they’re interested in, due to rising prices and the over-saturation of the market with superhero titles. That’s why we’re here. Every week, the Multiversity staff is asked “What would you buy this week if you couldn’t go over $20?” and […]

The DC3: The September Advanced Solicitations Special!

By Brian Salvatore, Vince Ostrowski and Zach Wilkerson | Apr 28, 2014 | Columns

While all of us at Multiversity are fans of a wide spectrum of comics, there are a few of us that tend to self-identify as “DC guys.” We’ve cried for justice; we’ve been through the blackest nights and the brightest days. And now, we’ve been culled together for a new column to focus on some […]

Lettering Week: Wrapping Up

By Drew Bradley | Apr 25, 2014 | Columns

To close out our week-long look at lettering, it seems appropriate to evaluate the experience.

Hopefully, the history of the process was thorough enough for you […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 25, 2014 | Columns

This is it — our last look at solicits for the month, and as always we end with Marvel. Of course, this month is unlike any other months, as Marvel has released a really odd batch of solicitations, some of which are missing and some of which don’t even really bother to solicit themselves. What’s […]

Lettering Effect Showcase: Logos, SFX, and Background Signs

By Drew Bradley | Apr 25, 2014 | Columns

In our final lettering showcase (did you miss the ones on balloons and symbols?), it’s time to bat cleanup and hit all the remaining parts of lettering – logos, sound effects, and in-picture signage. In the often overlooked realm of lettering, these three perhaps go unnoticed the most. After an initial debut, logos can – […]

By Drew Bradley | Apr 24, 2014 | Columns

There are few letterers whose work is popular enough to be well known, but industry veteran Clem Robins is one such letterer.

Lettering Week: The Life of a Letterer

By Drew Bradley | Apr 24, 2014 | Columns

Multiversity’s Lettering Week is nearly over, and you may have noticed there’s been lots of coverage about the profession, but not about the professionals. Here is where that changes. As part of the research for these articles, numerous letterers, writers, artists, and editors supplied some invaluable input. It seems appropriate to summarize the results for […]

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 23, 2014 | Columns

You know, there’s nothing better to embody what this site loves more than a good crossover between comics and Game Of Thrones. Which is why this piece by Dan Hipp (rather aptly titled ‘Winter Is Coming’) is one I wanted to showcase this week. Well, that and because I went to see Captain America: The […]

Lettering Effect Showcase: Word Balloons

By Drew Bradley | Apr 23, 2014 | Columns

The time has come during our celebration of lettering for a showcase of some particular lettering samples which merit discussion all on their own.
