Strange Love – Part 12

By Jeremy Holt | Feb 1, 2013 | Columns

Your pitch has been submitted, and you couldn’t be more confident in the artist, colorist, letterer, and designer. You’ve run a fine-tooth comb through your one page series synopsis for any typos or grammatical errors. If you’ve been fortunate enough to attend a con and show that bad boy around, you might’ve gotten some positive […]

365 Days of Cerebus, Part 1: Cerebus

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 31, 2013 | Columns

The year that I graduated college, I regularly visited the library of my school. I didn’t have a great job and I wasn’t at the point where I could just blatantly impulse buy things and charge them to a credit card, so a lot of my reading got done by pulling books out and giving […]

Multiversity Keeps It Real: Darwin, A Graphic Biography

By Michelle White | Jan 30, 2013 | Columns

Written by Eugene Byrne and drawn by Simon Gurr — and subtitled “the really exciting and dramatic story of a man who mostly stayed at home and wrote some books” — “Darwin: A Graphic Biography” is a slim but engaging account of one of the most influential scientists of the 19th century. Centring on Charles […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: The Family Troll

By Walt Richardson | Jan 29, 2013 | Columns

This week’s Kickstarter of choice isn’t a comic, but it’s the next best thing: The Family Troll is a picture book, comics’ sister medium, co-created by comics artist Tyler Kirkham and his wife, Jill. Longtime Multiversity readers have probably picked up that I am, as well as a comic book fan, a supporter of picture […]

Comics Should Be Cheap (1/30/2013)

By Walt Richardson | Jan 29, 2013 | Columns

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 […]

Friday Recommendation: Superboy: Smallville Attacks

By Zach Wilkerson | Jan 25, 2013 | Columns

In the tumultuous months leading up to the New 52 several great books suffered and were cut short. One of these unfortunate casualties is the Eisner nominated “Superboy” by Jeff Lemire and Pier Gallo. From the ashes of its short life, DC granted readers a fantastic collection of all 11 issues of the series. If […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: Earthward

By Walt Richardson | Jan 22, 2013 | Columns

I am always excited for new all-ages comics. As much as people like repeating the cliched “Comics aren’t just for kids anymore!” the fact is that they haven’t been for some time. To put it morosely, the fanbase is slowly dying out, and if established comic fans and creators don’t put forth the effort to […]
