Art of the Week (Week of 9/14/2012)

By Gilbert Short | Sep 14, 2012 | Columns

“Say it. Say My Name” by Phil Noto I love Breaking Bad. We all do. So when I saw TWO different pieces from Phil Noto and Sam Sprat, respectively, I had to include both of them. Phil Noto is our featured piece because, well, Walter White is one of the greatest characters in modern television […]

Friday Recommendation: Amazing Spider-Man: The Six Arms Saga

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 14, 2012 | Columns

I’ve recently begun a little project on my Twitter account, wherein I read Amazing Spider-Man from issue #1 until the current issue (whenever the hell I happen to reach it). And though I believe I am now through the Stan Lee years, I was surprised to find that one of my favorite stories was the […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 12, 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 […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (9/12/2012)

By Walt Richardson | Sep 11, 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: Ragemoor

By Nathanial Perkins | Sep 10, 2012 | Columns

Ever since Fredric Wertham’s infamous witch-hunt and the formation of the Comics Code Authority, the superhero genre has dominated the comics medium. Other once-popular genres, like romance, true crime, fantasy, mystery and science fiction, were decimated by his self-righteous crusade but have made modest comebacks in recent decades. The horror genre was arguably affected the […]

Friday Recommendation: Wilson by Daniel Clowes

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 7, 2012 | Columns

During my time in the comics wilderness (also known as high school and immediately post college), there were very illustrated works that I would pick up on a lark and re-read. Partly due to business (post college), partly due to trying to be “cool” (high school), I just left the world of sequential art behind, […]

Strange Love – Part 4

By Jeremy Holt | Sep 6, 2012 | Columns

I found myself at another one of Bergen Street Comic’s fantastic release parties. I had been attending their events since day one, and I never left one without exchanging business cards with someone worth contacting later. Tonight wouldn’t be any different. “Jeremy, have you met Bob Fingerman?” asked Amy–wife of Tom Adams and co-owner of […]

Reboot Nation: Guardians of the Galaxy

By Drew Bradley | Sep 4, 2012 | Columns

The concept of relaunching an established comic book series has undergone a bit of an evolution over the course of the medium’s history. Whereas once a relaunch was a matter of necessity (a book was cancelled and had to wait until a hole in the publishing schedule enabled it to try again), these days it […]

This Month In Comics: August 2012

By Walt Richardson | Sep 1, 2012 | Columns

Nothing like this column to make me realize how many series I told myself I was going to catch up with and didn’t. I admit it, I’m a bad fan! Still, August had quite a few great books, and just as many awful ones. Be sure to leave your own favorites in the comments, so […]

Friday Recommendation: The Little Endless Storybooks

By Gilbert Short | Aug 31, 2012 | Columns

Are you a fan of Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series? Do you like Jill Thompson? Do you like all-ages comics and storybooks? If you answered yes to these questions: you read “The Little Endless Storybooks.” “Sandman” was a series that was introduced to me by a friend some years ago, and I was instantly sucked in […]
