Friday Recommendation: Repulse

By Michelle White | Jan 18, 2013 | Columns

There are some comics out there that you can only recommend with some reservations, and I’m happy to say that “Repulse” from Szymon Kudranski and Image Comics is one of them. First of all, you should read it in one sitting. It’s 72 pages, so not a big deal. Second of all, you should read […]

Strange Love – Part 11

By Jeremy Holt | Jan 18, 2013 | Columns

Definitions for the word conviction: a : a strong persuasion or belief b : the state of being convinced In the weird world of comics, fledgling creators need to have an ample amount if they’re going to get a foot in the door.

Kickstarter Spotlight: Ungrounded

By Walt Richardson | Jan 15, 2013 | Columns

While comic fans who want to be “taken seriously” will stress that the medium and the content are two entirely different things, one of the great things about comics is that you can see some of the most ridiculous things ever dreamed up in a comic book. Sure, technically you can in a book, or […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (1/16/2013)

By Walt Richardson | Jan 15, 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 Comics Countdown: Five Best Works by Peter David

By David Harper | Jan 14, 2013 | Columns

Peter David has been one of my favorite writers since I started reading his work on Incredible Hulk, and it continued over the past 20 plus years as he became the man who made X-Factor the most consistently great X-Book (maybe even Marvel book) of the past decade. Now, having recently suffered a stroke, David’s […]

Friday Recommendation: In Defense of (Some of) the New 52

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 11, 2013 | Columns

I know, I know. DC Comics does not need defending. They’re one of the two major comic book publishers in the business right now and are doing just fine, sales-wise. They don’t need my approval or my defense. In fact, with the recent editorial/creative warfare that’s been going on over there, they’ve proven that they […]

Off the Cape: Tale of Sand

By Nathanial Perkins | Jan 10, 2013 | Columns

In the 70’s and 80’s, Jim Henson became famous for his work in children’s entertainment. Between “Sesame Street,” “The Muppet Show,” “Muppet Babies,” “The Storyteller,” “Fraggle Rock,” the Muppet movies, “The Dark Crystal,” and “Labyrinth,” Henson left a legacy behind unmatched by anyone but the great Walt Disney himself. However, before his career as a […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: Tales of Hot Rod Horror Volume 2

By Walt Richardson | Jan 8, 2013 | Columns

The old adage is mistaken: simplicity, not ignorance, is bliss. This is particularly true when it comes to crowd-sourcing — if you want someone’s support, it’s better to give them something short and sweet, rather than risk boring them with over-explanation. Perhaps that’s why Devon Devereaux’s explanation of Cackling Imp Press’s Tales of Hot Rod […]

Tradewaiter: Insurrection v3.6

By Drew Bradley | Jan 7, 2013 | Columns

Sometimes, solicitations really raise expectations for a book. It might be because they make outrageous claims about changing everything forever, or because it’s by the creative team behind critically acclaimed book. Those are used so often in the modern industry, they’re pretty much meaningless. Other times, they subtly promise something great, like this one. Written […]

Truly gifted cover artists perpetually reinvent the form, using negative space to highlight storytelling elements, incorporating graphic design into the mix and making sure that their picture […]

Friday Recommendation: R. Crumb’s “The Book of Genesis”

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 4, 2013 | Columns

For a guy with a degree in theology, and a print of Robert Johnson adorning his wall, R. Crumb’s “The Book of Genesis Illustrated” seemed too good to be true; a prank my wife was playing on me to get me frothing at the mouth with excitement. But alas, this was real! Crumb tackling the […]
