The Weekend Week In Review (2/1/2012)

By Walt Richardson | Feb 4, 2012 | Columns

Want to keep up with the ever-advancing continuity porn of the DC and Marvel universes, but simply don’t have the time or money to buy every ongoing? We’re here to help. The Weekend Week In Review aims to give you ((usually) very) brief synopses of what happened in a select few of DC and Marvel’s […]

Friday Recommendation: The Alcoholic

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 3, 2012 | Columns

In December, as I was mourning the cancellation of Bored to Death, HBO’s half-hour sitcom featuring Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifiankis and Ted Danson, I came across a book I decided to buy for my wife for Christmas. She, too, loved Bored to Death, and so when I saw The Alcoholic, written by Jonathan Ames and […]

This Month in Comics: January 2012

By Brandon Burpee | Feb 2, 2012 | Columns

Welcome to the new year! We’ve now got one 1/12 of our monthly fulfillment of books for the year. So with a small portion of the year out of the way what was the best and worst of the January 2012! What comic had inadvertent allusions of penetration?! What book threw our reading experience for […]

Celebrating 20: Ten Favorite Titles of Image’s First 20 Years

By David Harper | Feb 2, 2012 | Columns

Yesterday was a big day for Image Comics, as they celebrated their 20th anniversary of existence. 20 years is a long time for a independent publisher like them, but in my opinion, they’ve just gotten better and better throughout. To celebrate this momentous occasion, MC EIC Matt and I put together our lists of our […]

Then we have to tributes to the recently finished Brian Wood epic DMZ from Jorge Munoz former Ultimate Spider-Man artist David […]

Before Watchmen: The Multiversity Response

By Joshua Mocle | Feb 1, 2012 | Columns

In the last few hours since the announcement of DC’s Prequel Series Before Watchmen, it has seemed like everyone and their mother has publicly stated an opinion on it, with more and more coming out of the woodwork as the day goes by. Is it a blatant cash grab or isn’t it? Is it sacrilege […]

Hype Machine: Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga

By David Harper | Jan 31, 2012 | Columns

I’d hope I don’t need to tell you that buying Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga is a good idea. I hope that you, as a discerning reader, already have either pre-ordered this book or 100% committed yourself to the idea that you should buy this Image Comics title. But in case you haven’t […]

Covers of the Month (January 2012)

By David Harper | Jan 31, 2012 | Columns

Wolverine #300 variant by Geof Darrow Today at MC, I’m going to start a monthly round-up of the Best Covers. We normally feature covers in our weekly “Got You Covered” series, but I want to start a monthly one up too. I’ll track those who have covers in each monthly edition for a rolling count […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (2/1/2012)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 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 […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: Michael Bay’s "Justice League"

By David Harper, Jess Graham and Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 30, 2012 | Columns

“America!” This week’s Casting Couch is a special one, one that was very near and dear to MC EIC Matt Meylikhov and I’s hearts. With the DC relaunch, they went big on Justice League, bringing in their biggest name writer (Geoff Johns) and biggest name artist (Jim Lee) and rebooted the whole deal. The results […]

Friday Recommendation: American Vampire

By Walt Richardson | Jan 27, 2012 | Columns

Yes, we get it, vampires are done to undeath at this point. And, yes, it’s even more tired to acknowledge this. But sometimes when a certain craze is catching on, naysayers such as you and I need an example of why such-and-such a craze caught on in the first place, less we instantly dismiss anything […]

Art of the Week (Week of 1/25/12)

By Gilbert Short | Jan 25, 2012 | Columns

For this week’s Art of the Week Feature we have a lot of great artists with some equally amazing art. Artists such as Declan Shalvey (who somehow found his way onto this feature thrice!), Nathan Fairbairn, Ricardo VenÃ¢ncio, Marcus To, Michael Avon Oeming, and Andrew Maclean. This week’s featured piece, however comes from the wildly talented Phil Noto. […]

Soliciting Multiversity: Marvel’s April 2012

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 25, 2012 | Columns

Charles Paul Wilson III’s rather excellent Avengers Art Appreciation variant As the month closes and we finish discussing the previous solicitations (see: Image, Dark Horse, DC), Marvel finally releases their titles for April 2012 after everyone else, assuring that you’ll be talking about theirs the most before the month is out and the next batch of […]

Off The Cape – (The Weird World Of) Jack Staff

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 24, 2012 | Columns

Oh no! Once again I have chosen to write about a superhero comic in an article specifically designed to not write about superhero comics! What am I doing here? Then again, the modus operandi of the article series is really to just spotlight creator-owned books not published by either of the Big Two, and Jack Staff’s […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: Invincible

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

On this week’s Multiversity Casting Couch, we’re jumping into a long time favorite book of ours: Invincible. This Image Comics title was created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, but quickly took stride as new artist Ryan Ottley took over. It was long called by yours truly as the best Spider-Man book on the market, […]

Friday Recommendation – Nothing Nice to Say

By Joshua Mocle | Jan 20, 2012 | Columns

Comics and Punk Rock are not strangers in any sense of the word. In fact, there are a myriad of intersections between the two and more developing each year (thanks, in no small part, to Image Comics). However, one of those intersections that holds a particularly fond place in my heart is Mitch Clem’s Nothing […]

Reboot Nation #6: Omega the Unknown vs Omega the Unknown

By Joshua Mocle | Jan 20, 2012 | Columns

One of the strangest editions of Reboot Nation, perhaps not coincidentally, focuses on one of the strangest characters even seen in Marvel’s canon: Omega the Unknown. Debuting in his own self-titled series in 1976, the character’s journey lasted for 10 issues before his death and cancellation. That is, until 2007 when renowned novelist Jonathan Lethem […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 18, 2012 | Columns

Continuing further with our look at the April solicits (see also: Image and Dark Horse), today brings our look at DC’s offerings for the month of April. I could make a joke here relating the DCnU endeavor to an elongated April Fool’s prank… but I’ll abstain. Hit the jump to see what looks good in April. […]
