Artist August: Evan “Doc” Shaner [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 6, 2012 | Columns

Combining Silver Age styled line work with modern techniques, Evan “Doc” Shaner is one of the best kept secrets in comics. The guy is a phenomenally gifted artist, and with his work with writer Nate Cosby, “Buddy Cops” in “Dark Horse Presents,” running now, we’re hoping 2012 becomes a major coming out party for him. […]

By Gilbert Short | Aug 6, 2012 | Columns

Man, it’s August. It was a big month for comics last month so let’s dispense with the pleasantries and get right to it, no? Read on! Best Book — “The Walking Dead” #100 “The Walking Dead” reaching this kind of achievement was a testament to how successful creator-owned books could be, but it also proved […]

Tradewaiter: Echoes

By Drew Bradley | Aug 6, 2012 | Columns

Every now and then, a comic comes along and strikes the reader as being more than a distraction, more than entertainment, and more than you can absorb in one sitting. For me, “Echoes” is one of those books. Written by Joshua Hale Fialkov Illustrated by Rahsan Ekedal From acclaimed author JOSHUA HALE FIAKOV (Tumor, PILOT […]

Friday Recommendation: Northlanders

By Matthew Boren | Aug 3, 2012 | Columns

This week, the kind editors said I could write the Friday Recommendation, and I am pleased to bring to you a series that is very near and dear to my heart. With the days growing shorter and the nights colder, there is not a series out there that can get the blood flowing like Brian […]

Artist August: Joe Eisma [Art Feature]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 2, 2012 | Columns

To go along with our earlier interview with Joe Eisma, we’ve got a special post to showcase some of our favorite work — hand-picked by me, of course. Joe’s an excellent artist, a master of facial expressions and emotive characters, and since beginning his work as the full-time artist of one of Image’s most popular […]

Artist August: Nate Bellegarde [Art Feature]

By David Harper | Aug 1, 2012 | Columns

Nate Bellegarde is, sadly, not someone we interviewed for Artist August, but he is someone we greatly enjoy. His work has appeared in projects related to Robert Kirkman many a time, including “Brit,” “Invincible Presents: Rex Splode & Atom Eve,” and a range of other books. His upcoming work in “Nowhere Men” with Eric Stephenson […]

Get GetGlue (Week of 8/1/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 1, 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 […]

Art of the Week (Week of 8/1/2012)

By Gilbert Short | Aug 1, 2012 | Columns

Sadako Susaki by Paolo Rivera For this week’s Art Post, I chose the featured piece from Paolo Rivera due to nostalgia. In Elementary School I read the story of Sadako Susaki in the book entitled “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes,” it always stuck out in my mind to this day, and when I saw […]

Multiversity Comics Presents: Artist August 2.0

By David Harper | Aug 1, 2012 | Columns

Last year, we put together a feature we titled “Artist August,” an effort specifically designed to highlight some of our favorite artists in the industry. We realized that, as a site and even as an industry, we’ve become overly centered on writers. Sure, we love artists and all they bring to the table, but for […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (8/1/2012)

By Walt Richardson | Jul 31, 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: Cairo

By Nathanial Perkins | Jul 30, 2012 | Columns

Since we covered a Marvel book last week, it’s only fair that we take a look at something from the Distinguished Competition. As you know, DC has Vertigo, an entire imprint devoted to publishing non-superhero titles. Vertigo has been an immensely successful imprint, putting out books that nearly every superhero fan is familiar with. However, […]

Friday Recommendation: Resurrection Man, Vol. 1 (1997-1999)

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 27, 2012 | Columns

Most of you are probably at least vaguely familiar with the concept of Resurrection Man. After all, its 2nd volume is currently a cancelled, soon-to-be-gone series in the DC Comics New 52. Have you read that series and wished that it had more to say for itself? Well, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning certainly had […]

Off the Cape: Red Skull: Incarnate

By Nathanial Perkins | Jul 25, 2012 | Columns

This week, I want to flip the script a bit. As you know, Off the Cape is typically about showcasing non-superhero, non-Big Two titles that Marvel and DC fans could enjoy but might have missed. This time, however, we are going to take a look at a Marvel comic set within the Marvel universe, and […]

Strange Love: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying About Breaking Into Comic Books – Part 1

By Jeremy Holt | Jul 25, 2012 | Columns

My name is Jeremy Holt and I’ve spent the last three years writing comic books you haven’t read. I am not a full time creator yet, but today I have a back-up story in the Image Comics’ series Grim Leaper #3, which is the first of a few published works to see release this year. […]

Art of the Week (Week of 7/25/2012)

By Gilbert Short | Jul 25, 2012 | Columns

Daenerys Stormborn by Agnes Garbowska For this week’s Art Column, the featured piece was the simplest choice in the world. I’m a big fan of Game of Thrones and I love Agnes Garbowska’s takes on the characters, including one of my favorite characters: Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. Somehow she’s the perfect blend of […]
