This Month In Comics: December 2012

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 3, 2013 | Columns

Another month has passed, and so we look back at the last month of the year to talk about some of the best that happened to us comic readers. Not really so much the worst, though. Why? No particular reason. That category hasn’t been entirely dropped from this column. It just so happens that I […]

Boomb Tube: Why You Should Watch Young Justice

By James Johnston | Jan 2, 2013 | Columns

Welcome to Boomb Tube! Here, I chronicle and give recaps for the various comic book related animated series on the air. Unfortunately, due to Cartoon Network putting DC Nation on hiatus for months and Marvel’s cartoons in between seasons, I switched focus for the past few weeks towards live-action abominations of the past like Generation […]

Multiversity Keeps It Real: Two Generals

By Michelle White | Jan 1, 2013 | Columns

Scott Chantler’s Two Generals is more than a true story about friendship and loss in World War II. It’s also the story of Chantler’s own grandfather — one the author feels would mortify the man had he lived to read it. But as the author explains in the concluding pages, “we must hand [our families’ […]

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

By Walt Richardson | Jan 1, 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 […]

Friday Recommendation: Lee, Ditko, and Romita’s Amazing Spider-Man

By Walt Richardson | Dec 28, 2012 | Columns

In case you didn’t hear, “The Amazing Spider-Man” #700 came out this week, and… well, some people are upset.* This supposed End of an Era (TM) promises to take Spider-Man in a Bold New Direction (C) with a take on Spider-Man we’ve never seen before (Patent Pending), and Spidey fans the world over are being […]

2012 in Review: State of the Union

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 27, 2012 | Columns

To close our group oriented 2012 in Review activities, MC Founder/EIC Matt Meylikhov and Associate Editor David Harper take some time to talk about one of the biggest trends in comics this year: the love affair with creator-owned comics, and the ongoing desire of all to trash corporate comics. Matt and David discuss that trend, […]

Boomb Tube: “Have Yourself A Morlock Little X-Mas”

By James Johnston | Dec 26, 2012 | Columns

Welcome to the holiday edition of Boomb Tube! Yes, Christmas was yesterday but last time I checked it’s supposed to last twelve days and really, isn’t it everyday that an obese man breaks into your house? It is for me. Someone please get me a home security system next Christmas. Anyway, this week we’re going […]

Multiversity’s 2012 Holiday Wishlists

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 25, 2012 | Columns

Every year, a few of us like to get together and theorize, “If I could wish for a few things to happen next year, what would they be?” We think and we think, we think and we think, we think some more, and then we put together a few short lists of hopes and dreams […]

Multiversity’s 2011 Holiday Wishlist Responses

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 24, 2012 | Columns

A general holiday tradition here at Multiversity is for a few of us to look at the past year and ask ourselves, “Gee, what things do we want from Marvel or DC in the next year?” We as fans are a rather entitled bunch, after all, and we certainly are never too ashamed to throw […]

Friday Recommendation: Multiversity’s Best of 2012

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 21, 2012 | Columns

Over the last two weeks, we’ve done our annual Best Of series in which we do our best to look back in the year and remind you of all the great stuff that happened. It’s a rather exhaustive process that David Harper spearheads, getting Top 10 lists from everyone in each category and then calculating […]

2012 in Review: Best Ongoing Series

By David Harper | Dec 21, 2012 | Columns

This is it. This is the grand poobah of our 2012 in Review series, as we crown the Best Ongoing Series of 2012. As per usual, there were ties, so this ends up being the Top 13 Ongoings of the year, but I’m sure you won’t complain. I do want to point out one strange […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Marvel’s March 2013

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 20, 2012 | Columns

You can catch the full solicits at Comic Book Resources, but now it’s time to play comic’s favorite game, The “Judge Books By Their Cover Months Before They Even Come Out” Game! As always, I start off by taking a look at the titles coming out in relation to Marvel NOW! and judging them based on […]

2012 in Review: Best Mini-Series

By David Harper | Dec 20, 2012 | Columns

The end is near folks. Our 2012 in Review segment is winding down, with just one more category remaining after today. This edition finds us breaking down the Best Minis of 2012, of which there were a considerable amount, but one book towered over the rest when it came to our voting. What was it? […]

Boomb Tube: Generation X (Part 2)

By James Johnston | Dec 19, 2012 | Columns

Welcome back to Boomb Tube! The weekly column chronicling comics’ effects on television and, more recently, the utter horror of made-for-TV movies from the 1990’s. This week: we conclude our look at 1996’s Generation X. When we last left off, Max Headroom had just caused all of his potential investors to violently vacate their bowels at […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 19, 2012 | Columns

You’ve seen Dark Horse, you’ve seen DC and now it’s time to get into Image’s March solicits! They’re quite a doozy, full of some great stuff to tease and entice you, so lets not have too much opening banter. You can see the full solicits on Comic Book Resources. Image Is #1! In case you […]

2012 in Review: Best Issue

By David Harper | Dec 19, 2012 | Columns

What a year 2012 was for comics. It became readily apparent as we were prepping these lists that yeah, this was one hell of a year, and it was impressive if only because the incredible diversity. We saw more titles showing up in all of the categories than ever before, which just speaks to the […]

Off the Cape: Prophet

By Nathanial Perkins | Dec 18, 2012 | Columns

Among much of the Multiversity staff, I have had many good things to say about the re-launch of Extreme Studios’ “Prophet.” The series is helmed by Brandon Graham, with a rotating cast of talented rising stars on art duties, including himself, Simon Roy, Farel Dalrymple, Giannis Milogiannis, and colorists Richard Ballermann and Joseph Bergin III. […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: Blackwood

By Walt Richardson | Dec 18, 2012 | Columns

“Blackwood” is the latest comic from indie publisher Bleeding Ink, about a war between heaven and hell going on that can only be observed by a select few. I know, I know, you’ve heard this one before, but you all it takes is a glance through the page at the concept art by illustrator Kavika […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s March 2013

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 18, 2012 | Columns

DC has gotten a ton of flack this past year, much of it for good reason, but looking at March 2013’s solicitations, one thing is clear – there are a ton of great young writers working for them right now. Matt Kindt, Jim Zub, Robert Venditti, Justin Jordan, Jeff Lemire, and Scott Snyder are all […]

Reboot Nation: New Warriors #1 (1990), (1999), (2005), (2007)

By Drew Bradley | Dec 18, 2012 | Columns

Over two decades ago, “New Warriors” burst onto the Marvel scene with the slogan “Heroes for the 90’s!” In that time, they’ve appeared in one form or another across four volumes and over one hundred issues. Each new series had a unique creative team and direction, which leads one to ask: which debut issue was […]
