Comics Should Be Cheap! (10/31/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 30, 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 […]

Marvel THEN!: Ed Brubaker and the Rebirth of an Icon

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 29, 2012 | Columns

Last week saw the close of a majority of runs that had redefined characters or elements of the Marvel Universe. It was a big week for a lot of Marvel fans, as Marvel NOW! edges ever closer and everything we knew becomes different. So, as a tribute to some of the impressive work that helped […]

Off the Cape: Fell

By Nathanial Perkins | Oct 29, 2012 | Columns

These days, comics are not cheap. More and more mainstream comics are reaching for the $3.99 price level, and decompression is the rule. Quite often, you need several issues to complete a story arc. When it’s gotten to the point where you need to throw down over $50 to collect the “most important story ever!” […]

Tradewaiter: Potter’s Field

By Drew Bradley | Oct 29, 2012 | Columns

“Potter’s Field” is one of those frustrating comics. It’s great in all the ways a comic should be, but it seems like no one’s heard of it. It doesn’t even have a Wikipedia entry! Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Paul Azaceta Outside New York City is Potter’s Field, where the unnamed dead are buried. […]

Friday Recommendation: Ghost World

By Michelle White | Oct 26, 2012 | Columns

Daniel Clowes has already gotten some love here at Multiversity (you can check out Brian’s Friday Rec for “Wilson” over here), but I thought I’d add to Brian’s thoughts on one of Clowes’ earlier works, “Ghost World”. Like Brian, I encountered the book as a teenager and loved the bajeezus out of it — not […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Marvel’s January 2013

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 25, 2012 | Columns

As we reach the end of our look at solicits, we come to the new year for Marvel. Marvel’s going to have a big end of year when all of the NOW! books launch, but just because they’ve got a handful of relaunches already doesn’t mean they aren’t ready to fire out another dozen. The […]

Get GetGlue (Week of 10/24/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 24, 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 […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s January 2013

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 23, 2012 | Columns

This is an interesting month from DC for a few reasons; we get more cancellations, we get the first Liefeld-free month since the New 52 began, and we see parts of the publishing slate growing stale. Hopefully, next month’s four new books, whatever they are, add up to more excitement than was generated this month. […]

By David Harper, Jess Graham and Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 22, 2012 | Columns

We’re back with another week of Casting Couch, and with a Saga related contest dropping today as well as a most excellent process piece for the book, we figured it was as good a time as any to figure out who we think should be involved with a Saga film (although we admittedly think it […]

Friday Recommendation: Dial H

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 19, 2012 | Columns

Here is a book that I talk about so much that it’s probably starting to get annoying. The problem is that I think that this book is going to get cancelled for the 5th or 6th wave of the DC Comics New 52. When that happens, a single tear will stream down my cheek, at […]
