Multiversity’s Got You Covered: Week of 3/13/13

By David Harper | Mar 15, 2013 | Columns

It’s been a busy month around the Multiversity offices with Abe Sapien month in full swing, but I wanted to get back on track with Got You Covered. It’s been too long since I tackled the best and brightest in comic covers. Here are my top five choices for covers this week, with a diverse […]

Strange Love – Part 15

By Jeremy Holt | Mar 15, 2013 | Columns

“…a briefing yesterday, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board warned it could be a long time before the plane is cleared to fly. NPR’s Wendy Kaufman reports.” As I awoke to NPR’s Morning Edition, I prohibited myself from hitting the snooze button. I didn’t have to, my girlfriend already did and was up […]

Friday Recommendation: Ojingogo

By Michelle White | Mar 15, 2013 | Columns

So much of comic-reviewing has to do with looking at the text and the art, and watching the two compete and combine as they (hopefully) evoke a story that does justice to the flexibility of the medium. So it’s a bit perplexing to be faced with a book like Ojingogo – a comic without any […]

Art Of The Week: Week Of 03/13/2013

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 13, 2013 | Columns

It’s Wednesday so it’s another Art Of The Week! And this week I wanted to highlight this sweet redesign of Hisako “Armor” Ichiki that Kris Anka posted to his tumblr which I just love. Hisako is easily one of my favourite X-Men who desperately needs more panel time. But enough of my waffling, that’s more […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: Sheherazade

By Walt Richardson | Mar 12, 2013 | Columns

What problem do classical music and comics share? That of the diminishing audience. In both fields, the proverbial new listener or reader is a hot topic, and the aim of various corporate initiatives. Music teacher Matt Parry has come up with an ingenious idea that would work for both mediums: a graphic novel to accompany […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (3/13/2013)

By Walt Richardson | Mar 12, 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 […]

Multiversity Gets Digital, Talks Recent Changes to Digital Landscape [Feature]

By David Harper | Mar 11, 2013 | Columns

Digital comics have seen significant growth since their development, but really, it has seemed like we’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop when it comes to digital. Cue this past week, as Marvel blew out digital at SXSW after announcing their Marvel Unlimited app while ComiXology changed the DIY comic landscape by creating […]

Tradewaiter: Higher Earth Volume 1

By Drew Bradley | Mar 11, 2013 | Columns

The first issue of “Higher Earth” didn’t earn the most favorable rating when it debuted, but a book with such a great concept deserves a second chance, right? Well, maybe not. Written by Sam Humphries Illustrated by Francesso Biagini, Manuel Bracchi, and Joe Eisma Space is dead. Why conquer other planets when there’s a perfectly […]

Multiversity Comics Countdown: Abe Sapien’s Most Defining Moments

By Mark Tweedale | Mar 6, 2013 | Columns

Abe Sapien’s been a part of the Hellboy Universe since the beginning, but it wasn’t until B.P.R.D. spun off into its own book that he truly stepped out of Hellboy’s shadow and into full prominence. Since then he’s even had a spin-off of his own featuring a few smaller flashback stories set in the eighties, […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 5, 2013 | Columns

For those of us who came of age in the 1990s, certain truths were self-evident: Clerks was the funniest movie ever made, no superhero movie could ever beat 1989’s Batman, directed by Tim Burton, and Nic Cage made some great action movies. So, for a 15 year old learning that the three behemoths behind these […]

Off the Cape: Grim Leaper

By Nathanial Perkins | Mar 5, 2013 | Columns

This week, I’d like to take a look at a little book that sneaked in last year under the radar for most mainstream comic book fans, but managed to steal the hearts of many of us here at Multiversity Comics. That book was Kurtis J. Wiebe and Aluisio C. Santos’ “Grim Leaper: A Love Story […]

This Month In Comics: February 2013

By Walt Richardson | Mar 4, 2013 | Columns

Ah, This Month in Comics. A column that, due to its monthly nature, doesn’t really have a specific format. Personally, I’m glad we’ve more or less ditched the worst/most disappointing categories — I don’t read many comics I don’t love, so I always hate picking one as worst, even though I’m sure there could be […]

Hype Machine: Abe Sapien

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 4, 2013 | Columns

It’s Abe Sapien Month at Multiversity! To see all sorts of Abe content, like our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” contest, fantastic original art, interviews and more, click here. Before I wrote for this site, what drew me to it was the gusto and enthusiasm that dripped from its posts. If a book was getting a […]

Tradewaiter: Battle Beasts

By Drew Bradley | Mar 4, 2013 | Columns

IDW has numerous successful comics based on toylines from the 80s: GI JOE, Transformers, My Little Pony, and Godzilla. All of these have established fanbases in part because they’ve been on television and/or toyshelves almost continuously for the last 30 years. What’ll happen when they try to work their magic on a shortlived toyline most […]
