Tradewaiter: Penguin – Pain and Prejudice

By Drew Bradley | Sep 24, 2012 | Columns

writer and an artist I don’t know, telling a story about a Batman villain I barely care about? This would’ve been a definate pass if it weren’t for all the rave reviews it garnered.

Friday Recommendation: Proof

By Michelle White | Sep 21, 2012 | Columns

I think we’re all inordinately attached to the stories that first attracted us to comics as a medium. And while I read my very first comics in trade (they were “Sandman” and “Watchmen”, of course) the first single issue I ever bought — and the first series I ever put on a pull list — […]

Art of the Week (Week of 9/21/2012)

By Gilbert Short | Sep 21, 2012 | Columns

For this week’s Art Feature starts with a great unused piece that Cliff Chiang hoped to use for #0 month, which went unused because of DC’s decision to use the “Burst” layout. Well, their loss is our gain, because it’s a wonderful piece (if you pardon the pun!). From there, we have a few more […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s December 2012

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 20, 2012 | Columns

As the calendar year winds down, DC is giving Joker fans a ton of Christmas presents, while those fans of Superman might have some coal in their stockings. We Are Almost After “Before Watchmen” While nowhere near the total disaster it could have been, I think I speak for all of us when I say […]

Strange Love – Part 5

By Jeremy Holt | Sep 20, 2012 | Columns

The Assistant Editor. Are you familiar with this editorial position? Don’t let the “assistant” part fool you. These are the people you want to know. Why? Because they are Senior Editors in-training. While the big guns like Karen Berger (DC/Vertigo), Axel Alonso (Marvel), Charlie Chu (Oni Press), Stephen Christy (Archaia), and Chris Ryall (IDW) that […]

Get GetGlue (Week of 9/19/12)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 19, 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 […]

Reboot Nation: Green Lantern #0

By Drew Bradley | Sep 18, 2012 | Columns

Even though this is only the second outing for the relaunched ‘Reboot Nation’, I’m going to change things up a bit and look at something other than a number one. It’s zero versus zero! While most first issues come with a standard set of expectations (introduce the characters, get the plot rolling), zeroth issues have […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (9/17/2012)

By Walt Richardson | Sep 18, 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 […]

Off the Cape: One Soul

By Nathanial Perkins | Sep 17, 2012 | Columns

Every year or two, I stumble across a book that radically expands my understanding of what a comic book is and what it can accomplish. Some books are determined to push the boundaries of the medium in new and unexpected ways. Often, attempts at innovation in the medium fail in being good stories, and pull […]
