Comics Should Be Cheap! (7/25/2012)

By Walt Richardson | Jul 24, 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 […]

By David Harper, Jess Graham and Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 23, 2012 | Columns

We now know that Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man” will be one of the next Marvel films to drop. In fact, we even know generally when it will arrive: 2014. On top of that, it’s long been known that nerd god Edgar Wright is going to be directing it, which is quite fantastic indeed. So the question […]

If you’re reading this, THANK YOU! What that means is, you actually saw the subject of today’s Friday Rec’ and kept going. That’s a good sign. And even if you’re not completely sold on the idea of reading a Transformers comic, bear with me for a little longer and I’ll do what I can to […]

The Chronicles of Shazam, Volume 3

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 20, 2012 | Columns

Another month, another peak into the Shazam backup in “Justice League!” Like the Smallville of the New 52, here were are, four installments into “Shazam,” and we’ve met pretty much all the key players in the series before Billy Batson actually says that magic word, transforming himself into Shazam, nee Captain Marvel. Black Adam is […]

Get GetGlue (Week of 7/18/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 18, 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 […]

Off the Cape: The Red Star

By Nathanial Perkins | Jul 18, 2012 | Columns

This week, I want to take a look at a personal favorite of mine: Christian Gossett’s “The Red Star.” It is an operatic, allegorical epic influenced by Russian history, mythology, science fiction, and manga. Initially published by Image Comics in 2000, “The Red Star” was a smash hit due in large part to its innovative […]

Tradewaiter: Locke & Key Volume 1 – Welcome to Lovecraft

By Drew Bradley | Jul 16, 2012 | Columns

Collecting storylines into trades and hardcovers has become an industry standard, so much so many writers are accused of “writing for the trade.” However, crafting a story which works well in both single installments and as one story can be difficult, with many opportunities to stumble.

Friday Recommendation: The Justice Society Returns

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 13, 2012 | Columns

I was a late bloomer in many ways, but especially in regards to my appreciation for the Justice Society of America. As a child of the ‘80s and early ‘90s, the JSA wasn’t exactly the super team du jour, and explaining Earth 2 to a 7 year old is a little dicey. So it wasn’t […]

By David Harper | Jul 13, 2012 | Columns

It’s a great week of comics. Better yet for the purposes of this column, it’s a great week for covers as well. It was actually very hard just to keep my list to a top five, as there were ten I originally looked, which were then cut to seven, then six, then I considered making […]
