Kickstarter Spotlight: Horizon’s End

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 2, 2013 | Columns

Some Kickstarter comics are backed because of the story/concept; others are backed because the creative team is inspiring. While no offense to the story behind “Horizon’s End,” this is a project that deserves your backing because it features the return of one of the great unsung artists of the last 25 years: Darryl Banks. Banks, […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (7/3/2013)

By Walt Richardson | Jul 2, 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 […]

Tradewaiter: Absolution

By Drew Bradley | Jul 1, 2013 | Columns

Next week, the first issue of Cristos Gage’s “Absolution: Rubicon” will be released from Avatar Press. The first miniseries wrapped up over three years ago, and it’s understandable if you’ve forgotten about it (if you ever knew). Is it good enough to deserve a sequel after all this time? Written by Christos Gage Illustrated by […]

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 29, 2013 | Columns

Hello, and welcome to Saturday Morning Panels, your new favorite Multiversity column! It’s a very simple concept: since none of us are up to watching Saturday morning cartoons anymore, we are instead going to share with you our favorite panels from the week before. It’s a bit like Comics Should Be Cheap, except with more […]

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 […]

Boomb Tube: Form Of!

By James Johnston | Jun 26, 2013 | Columns

This week on Boomb Tube, our weekly recap of all current animated comic book adaptations, the Ultimate Spider-Man teams up with The Hulk for the hundredth time and Teen Titans Go! loses its damn mind.

DJMC #4: Satan’s Soldier Mixtape by Tom Scioli

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 26, 2013 | Columns

We are all big fans of Tom Scioli around these parts – he’s one of our favorite all-time guests on The Hour Cosmic, in addition to producing some of the most vibrant work of his career with his free webcomics. One of those webcomics, “Satan’s Soldier,” now has its first installment available in print from […]

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 […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: Doctor Cat

By Walt Richardson | Jun 25, 2013 | Columns

Welcome to Multiversity Comics, a comic site written by people who love comics, for people who love comics. And cats. Long time readers might recognize the old blurb above, which would show up whenever you looked up Multiversity Comics on your search engine of choice (in fact, I didn’t know that we had changed it […]

“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. John Arcudi takes a break from “B.P.R.D.” to revive his character “The Creep” from the early nineties, and the result is truly something to behold. Written by John Arcudi Illustrated by Jonathan Case A young boy puts […]

The Multiversity Collection: June 2013 Titles

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 21, 2013 | Columns

From the desk of Matthew Meylikhov: Here’s a complete shocker: I’m a huge fan of the Criterion Collection. A continuing source of joy in my life, the Criterion Collection produce some of my favorite DVDs in existence, whether it be the unbeatable release of my all-time favorite film Le Samourai or any number of other high […]

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 […]

DJMC #3: The Kyle Rayner Mixtape

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 19, 2013 | Columns

For nerds of a certain age, Kyle Rayner is their Green Lantern. Created by Ron Marz and Darryl Banks in 1994, Kyle was the last member of the Green Lantern Corps, and spent nearly a decade as the only, and (after John Stewart was granted another ring) most prominent, Lantern in comics. He is an […]
