Multiversity Keeps It Real: The Gettysburg Address, A Graphic Adaptation

By Michelle White | Jun 27, 2013 | Columns

The Gettysburg address is by no means a neglected topic, even in comic book non-fiction (there are at least two other books on it). And why not? It’s peculiarly suited to the medium: short, poetic, allusive, oft-quoted, Abraham Lincoln’s famous speech can be used as a springboard for all kinds of ideas and images related […]

The DC3: The Best of the New 52 Thus Far

By Brian Salvatore, Vince Ostrowski and Zach Wilkerson | Jun 26, 2013 | 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 […]

The Top New Comic Artists of the Past Five Years

By David Harper, Brian Salvatore and Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 26, 2013 | Columns

Recently, as reported by the Beat, Jim Lee posited an interesting question: who are the top three new comic artists of the past five years? It’s a great dinner party question for comic fans, but one that requires a lot of research to clarify whether or not the artists fit into that five year window […]

Internet Comics Debate: Breaking a Vicious Cycle

By Vince Ostrowski | Jun 25, 2013 | Columns

“If you hate it so much, then why are you reading it?” We’ve all seen this question before, whether it was directed at ourselves or at someone else in a comments section or on Twitter. It’s a really easy way to put someone in their place when they complain about a comic book run that […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (6/26/2013)

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 25, 2013 | 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 […]

“Man of Steel” and the Regressive Nature of Lines Being Drawn

By David Harper | Jun 24, 2013 | Columns

All things considered, “Man of Steel” is a gigantic success. DC’s latest Superman film relaunch had mostly positive reviews, a CinemaScore of “A-” from those who saw it in theaters, and it has been really doing well in the box office. In fact, after just 2 weekends, “Man of Steel” has made $10 million more […]

Tradewaiter: The Creep

By Mark Tweedale | Jun 24, 2013 | Columns

I’d like to take a moment to draw your attention to a miniseries that has perhaps been overlooked.

Smallville: The Cheese and Triumph of Clark Kent

By David Harper, Brandon Burpee and Brian Salvatore | Jun 21, 2013 | Columns

This past week brought the meteoric arrival of “Man of Steel,” the latest relaunch of the Superman mythology. People can’t help comparing it to Richard Donner’s Superman or Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns, but is everyone forgetting about perhaps the most magical of all “adaptations?” A story that introduced Clark Kent, Lex Luthor, Lana Lang and […]

Five Things We Most Want to See in the “Man of Steel” Sequel

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 19, 2013 | Columns

Depending on whom you ask, “Man of Steel” was anywhere from one of the best superhero movies ever or a complete and utter miss at everything that represents Superman as a character. It’s, undoubtedly, a mixed bag, but there is a ton of promise there. With an excellent cast, drop dead gorgeous visuals from director […]
