Tradewaiter: The Mighty Volumes 1 and 2

By Drew Bradley | Nov 26, 2012 | Columns

If you were asked to name a comic which debuted in 2009 and starred an ersatz Superman who isn’t as great a hero as people though, odd are you’d think of “Irredeemable,” Mark Waid’s popular book from BOOM! Studios. I think of “The Mighty”, a DC book with a similar premise, but which was a […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Marvel’s February 2013

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 23, 2012 | Columns

Friday is here and it’s time to close out our look at the solicits of February, wrapping things up with Marvel. It’s a pretty big month, full of kisses and tricks, so strap on your boots and lets wade through it all. You can check out the full un-annotated Marvel solicits here. #1 Mania! As […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s February 2013

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 22, 2012 | Columns

See you in Hell, Hellblazer! With this series wrapping up with #300, the longest consecutively running book of either of the Big 2 comes to a close. While we at Multiversity are sad about this, this isn’t exactly a shock. Compare the sales of a book like this to a New 52 Constantine book, and […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Dark Horse’s February 2013

By Nathanial Perkins | Nov 21, 2012 | Columns

As we come to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, it’s also the week we look at and give thanks for all the new comics coming out from our favorite publishers this coming February. That’s right, it’s another installment of Soliciting Multiversity! Due to a scheduling error on my part, Matt kicked us off yesterday with a […]

Boomb Tube: The Brave and the Boomb

By James Johnston | Nov 21, 2012 | Columns

Well we’ve reached quite a conundrum, haven’t we? Right now, the superhero cartoon show landscape is barren with DC Nation on hiatus until January, Avengers cancelled, and Ultimate Spider-Man gone to lick its wounds to strike back at me a year from now in a cross-over written by Scott Snyder. As a result, I have no current cartoons to […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: The Further Travels of Wyatt Earp

By David Harper | Nov 20, 2012 | Columns

This week on Kickstarter Spotlight, I’m taking the reins for a week to highlight a Kickstarter effort that is both near its goal and near its end. Let’s take it the rest of the way shall we, as we highlight Joe Caramagna and Scott Koblish’s The Further Travels of Wyatt Earp. Support it soon!! The […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Image’s February 2013

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 20, 2012 | Columns

It’s that time of the month again, when we sit down and take a look at some of the best and worst of the February 2013 solicits rather than give you all of them. Why? Because everybody likes commentary! That’s why we buy extended Blu-ray releases, to listen to the commentary. Right? Anyone? No? Well, […]

Multiversity Comics Countdown: The Five Biggest Moments of Locke & Key

By David Harper | Nov 20, 2012 | Columns

Last week brought the beginning of the end of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s “Locke & Key” with Locke & Key: Omega #1. In standard L&K fashion, it was an incredible issue that blended stellar character work, beautiful art and pulse pounding horror into one exquisite package. While we’re sad to see it on its […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (11/21/12)

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 20, 2012 | 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: The Hole of Tank Girl

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 19, 2012 | Columns

Alright, boys and girls — lets all face a cold-hard truth: we should all love Tank Girl, and not all of us have actually read Tank Girl. This is a book as important to our sub-culture as Hellboy or Sin City, and yet it does not get nearly as much attention as it deserves. Well, […]

Seriously, Niimura is amazing

Friday Recommendation: I Kill Giants

By Walt Richardson | Nov 16, 2012 | Columns

It is honestly difficult for me to write a “review” of Joe Kelly and J.M. Ken Niimura’s “I Kill Giants.” After all, the difference between an objective review and, say, commentary is that word “objective” — and I, unfortunately, cannot be objective about the masterwork that is “I Kill Giants.” Why, you ask? Because it […]

Strange Love – Part 9

By Jeremy Holt | Nov 16, 2012 | Columns

What makes a comic “good”? This seems like a stupid question but it’s an ongoing education that I continue to take notes on. What makes the answer so elusive is that when attempting to produce top-notch creator-owned work, your opinion (as a writer) only half matters. It’s certainly important to have confidence in your scripts, […]

Multiversity’s Got You Covered: Week of 11/14/12

By David Harper | Nov 16, 2012 | Columns

What a week in comics this is. Four huge Marvel Now! launches, Image dropping bombs all over the place, and much, much more awaited comic fans at their local shops this comic book day. Did the covers match the awesomeness inside of those books? You can find out below. 5. The Massive #6 Art by […]

G.I. JoeVersity: October 2012

By Chad Bowers | Nov 15, 2012 | Columns

Welcome back to G.I. JoeVersity, a monthly look at all of IDW’s G.I. Joe comics and some other related stuff. Let’s see what October 2012 had to offer! (Re)boot Camp Without question, the biggest G.I. Joe news of the month was IDW’s announcement that they would be restarting the G.I. Joe titles. Beginning in February […]

Art of the Week: Week of 11/14/12

By David Harper | Nov 14, 2012 | Columns

This week on Art of the Week, we have an abbreviated collection of material (it’s been a busy week). That said, there is some damn quality stuff, and nothing more fitting of today (and our Mike Mignola interview) than Andrew MacLean’s Black Flame piece by Brand New Nostalgia’s METAL week. It’s a really fantastic illustration, […]

Off the Cape: Beasts of Burden

By Nathanial Perkins | Nov 14, 2012 | Columns

Before we get into our latest featured comic, I feel an apology is overdue, as I’ve been unable to post an OTC since before Hurricane Sandy. As a resident of New Jersey living close to the shore, my area was hit pretty hard. My grandparents live in Sea Bright, and if you want to see […]

Boomb Tube: Avengers (Dis)Assemble!

By James Johnston | Nov 13, 2012 | Columns

Welcome to Boomb Tube, where all of your favorite super hero cartoons and Ultimate Spider-Man recapped on a weekly basis! This week: Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes comes to its exciting conclusion! Spoilers ahead! The finale begins with Iron Man meeting Captain America for their weekly Roof-Top Real-Talk. Tony expresses his concerns about how the world is becoming so […]

News and Notes from October 2012’s Comic Sales Numbers

By David Harper | Nov 13, 2012 | Columns

Around the Multiversity offices, many jokes are made about my interest in Microsoft Excel and comic book sales charts. But it’s true – that is definitely an interest of mine, and something I’ll be looking at here on out. Every month, I’ll provide a breakdown of the previous months sales numbers and key facts I […]

By David Harper | Nov 13, 2012 | Columns

This week on Multiversity Comics Countdown, I’m following our Marvel THEN! post up with a look at the five Marvel Now! titles that I am most looking forward to. After all, we’re getting into the thick of things now with four books dropping this week. It’s time to look forward to the future, and you […]

Kickstarter Spotlight: The Werewolf of NYC

By Walt Richardson | Nov 13, 2012 | Columns

Our first Kickstarter Spotlight focused on the large scale, a David Fincher-produced film featuring one of modern comics’ most beloved, albeit cult, characters, the Goon. Now, though, we are getting into what Kickstarter is really about*: funding those comics that might never see the light of day without our help, comics such as Edwin Vazquez’s […]

Reboot Nation: X-Force 1991 vs 2004 vs 2008

By Drew Bradley | Nov 13, 2012 | Columns

By request! Which of these three first issues is the best, and are any of them good enough to warrant further reading? Before we get to the actual evaluation, I should probably start with a little editorializing. I’m not an X-Fan. Prior to reading the three issues in this column, I can safely say I’ve […]
