Comics Should Be Cheap! (12/7/11)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 6, 2011 | 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 […]

2011 in Review: Best Publisher

By David Harper | Dec 5, 2011 | Columns

What a wild year 2011 was for the world of comics, and it was felt in a huge way across all publishers. Did you hear that DC relaunched all of their comics? That Marvel renumbered two of their biggest franchises? That Dark Horse offed maybe their biggest character? That Image didn’t wait until 2012 to […]

Multiversity 101: Retail Madness

By David Harper | Dec 5, 2011 | Columns

Last week, Dark Horse Comics announced that they were going day-and-date digital for all new comics going forward. Most notably, they were even going to cut prices on their digital releases to $1.99, which is $1 to $1.50 less than their average release. They’re the first publisher to do that. It was received badly by […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: Fables

By David Harper, Jess Graham and Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 5, 2011 | Columns

This week in Multiversity Casting Couch, we offer a slight change in format. We had a lot of people noting last week that we didn’t really say what kind of format we want for the show, when what we wanted for Y the Last Man was a series of movies. Going forward, we will have a […]

Friday Recommendation – Skullkickers

By Joshua Mocle | Dec 2, 2011 | Columns

For the last year, I’ve written quite a bit about Image Comics’ off-beat fantasy/action series Skullkickers and virtually every time I do so, I make note of the fact that its “the fantasy crap that I actually like” or “weird fantasy that works” or in the case of the labels for this very article, “fantasy […]

Reboot Nation #3 – Avengers (1996) vs Avengers (1998)

By Joshua Mocle | Dec 2, 2011 | Columns

With all of the success surrounding DC’s epic relaunch of their entire line this past September, many have wondered if Marvel (especially in light of their disastrous loss of market share as a result of said DC relaunch) could decide to go in a similar direction in the coming years. What many of those speculators […]

This Month in Comics: November 2011

By David Harper | Dec 1, 2011 | Columns

Disclaimer from Fear Agent #32 This was a top notch month for comics in my estimation, with two books released that are making my Best of 2011 list and a range of others that were high quality in their own right. But what was the best of the best? Find out after the jump, and […]

Longbox Diving: Uncanny X-Men #200

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 30, 2011 | Columns

Earlier this month, I claimed to be somewhat of a “Magneto scholar.” I don’t implicitly know if I would stand by that statement in a court of law, but that silly comment allows me to segue into this week’s Longbox Diving issue: Uncanny X-Men #200, “The Trial of Magneto!” Click behind the cut for some […]

Off the Cape: Fear Agent

By David Harper | Nov 30, 2011 | Columns

The world of comics is a big one, and there is whole lot of things out there that do not involve capes and spandex. That’s where Off the Cape comes in, as we look at comics that are out of the realm of superheroes. For those that only or mostly read superhero books, this is […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: Y the Last Man

By David Harper, Matthew Meylikhov and Jess Graham | Nov 28, 2011 | Columns

This week’s edition of Multiversity Casting Couch finds us leaping into one of my all-time favorite books and a frequent subject of adaptation chatter: Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s Y the Last Man. This series has went through a lot of brief trysts with Hollywood types, as Vaughan himself wrote a well-received script for […]

Friday Recommendation: The Sixth Gun

By Gilbert Short | Nov 25, 2011 | Columns

If you read the site at all, you should know that this is a popular book among everyone here. We ran an Off the Cape on the book some time ago, and we recently started a feature called Haunted Trails, dedicated exclusively to discussing The Sixth Gun and what it’s all about. We even cast […]

Longbox Diving – Daring Mystery Comics #1 (2009)

By Joshua Mocle | Nov 24, 2011 | Columns

After a quick bit of world travelling last week, I returned home to find that several of my favorite Marvel books were on their way into non-existence, including the fantastic Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive by novelist turned comic scribe David Liss. Liss’ grasp on street level, noir-esque storytelling is very close to […]
