Comics Should Be Cheap! (11/14/2012)

By Walt Richardson | Nov 13, 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 Avengers vs. X-Men Hardcover

By Walt Richardson | Nov 12, 2012 | Columns

While “Avengers Vs. X-Men” was making high sale numbers, despite never seeming to fly off the shelves at my local shop, I swore off the whole thing, main book and tie-ins from other ongoings. Not out of some self-righteous “I’m too good for this” pride — though, okay, there was a bit of that — […]

Get GetGlue (Week of 11/7/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 7, 2012 | Columns

We don’t know about the rest of you, but we’re a bit addicted to GetGlue. If you haven’t checked it out before, it’s a silly thing, really: you check in to what you are watching, playing or reading and are rewarded a sticker for it. When you get a certain number of stickers, once a […]

This Month in Comics: October 2012

By Chad Bowers | Nov 5, 2012 | Columns

Q3 of 2012 delivered a slew of brand new comics, with the quality range swinging between inexplicably brilliant to downright terrible. I can’t talk about them all, of course, but here’s my two cents on a few favorites and not-so-favorites that dropped between October 1 and the 31st. Best Book of the Month: Daredevil #19 Mark […]

Strange Love – Part 8

By Jeremy Holt | Nov 1, 2012 | Columns

Rejection #9 from the publisher who I was convinced would bite. Ongoing rejection from my girlfriend, who was failing to see the point in my commitment to breaking into comics.

Multiversity Keeps It Real: Louis Riel, A Comic-Strip Biography

By Michelle White | Oct 30, 2012 | Columns

Non-fictional comics are unusual animals: setting out, like any non-fictional book, to tell you about a subject in a largely objective manner, the fact that they’ve got the subtle tools of the comic medium to work with entails that they’ve got quite a bit of flexibility in terms of what flavour of objectivity they want […]
