Friday Recommendation: American Barbarian

By Chad Bowers | May 25, 2012 | Columns

Tom Scioli’s “American Barbarian” is one of the most startlingly inventive and enjoyable comics of the last decade. Broken up into a number of enthusiastically told chapters, it tells the story of Meric, the red, white, and blue-haired hero facing off against the evil Two Tank Omen and his deadly hordes in a post-post-apocalyptic tomorrow. […]

You’ve seen DC. You’ve seen Dark Horse. You’ve even see Marvel. Now it’s time for MC’s favorite publisher to get the spotlight: Image Comics! Every month I switch the column up.

Get GetGlue (Week of 5/23/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 23, 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 […]

By David Harper | May 23, 2012 | Columns

Leonardo by Ross Campbell This week on Multiversity’s Art Feature, we start with our featured piece, a Leonardo from “Glory” artist Ross Campbell.

Mark Andrew Smith’s “The A to B Manifesto: The Creator as Retailer”

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 23, 2012 | Columns

Recently on his Tumblr, Mark Andrew Smith (whose name you should assuredly recognize these days from that uber-successful “Sullivan’s Sluggers” kickstarter) wrote up his own manifesto on working and thriving in a creator-owned comic environment. In it, he goes into detail about what he thinks could help the creator-owned world, including dealing with piracy/repricing digital […]

Laying Odds on Which Prominent DCnU Character is Changing Sexual Orientation

By David Harper | May 22, 2012 | Columns

Dan Didio changed his tune this past weekend at London’s Kapow! con. What to? Well, previously he had stated that only new characters would come out as LGBT and that we wouldn’t see any orientation switches, but now? It seems that not only is someone coming out, but it will be someone fairly prominent. Now […]

Soliciting Multiversity: DC’s August 2012

By Brian Salvatore | May 22, 2012 | Columns

August’s DC solicitations are pretty vague, which leads many, myself included, to think that many of these series don’t have long for this world. Let’s dig in, and see what DC is saying about their August offerings. RIP JLI This month, there is only one official* cancellation, and that is “Justice League International.” Let’s pour […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (5/23/2012)

By Walt Richardson | May 22, 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 […]

Friday Recommendation: Danger Club

By Gilbert Short | May 18, 2012 | Columns

Landry Walker and Eric Jones have been partners in crime for a long time, but have stuck mostly to all-ages fare, creating books like the awesome Supergirl: Adventures in the 8th Grade, which can be enjoyed by readers of all ages, from kids to grandparents (like my mom, for instance). That all changed with “Danger […]

Another week, another set of covers. Let’s get to the top five picks for the week, brought to you by yours truly. 5. The Shadow #2 Art by Alex Ross It’s kind of hard to deny Alex Ross whenever he makes an appearance, and I find this cover an excellent example of how even though […]

The Chronicles of Shazam, Volume 1

By Brian Salvatore | May 18, 2012 | Columns

Captain Marvel has been one of my favorite characters since I was a child – in fact, he was one of three superheroes my father painted on my bedroom walls growing up. I loved the innocence, the wish-fulfillment, the costume, and just about everything else that came from the character. So, in the brave new […]

Art of the Week (Week of 5/16/2012)

By Gilbert Short | May 16, 2012 | Columns

Man, look at that Dustin Weaver piece featuring everyone’s favorite venom addict, Bane. Taken from one of my favorite arcs from Gail Simone’s cult-hit series “Secret Six,” it puts two things together that I love, comics, and dinosaurs. I’m always saying that dinosaurs make a book an instant buy, so it stands to reason it […]
