Reboot Nation #1 – Uncanny X-Men vs Uncanny X-Men

By Joshua Mocle | Nov 3, 2011 | Columns

The concept of relaunching an established comic book series has undergone a bit of an evolution over the course of the medium’s history. Whereas once a relaunch was a matter of necessity (a book was cancelled and had to wait until a hole in the publishing schedule enabled it to try again), these days it […]

Movember Special: The Ten(ish) Best ‘Staches in Comic History

By David Harper | Nov 3, 2011 | Columns

I’m not sure if you’ve heard about this (some of our staff hadn’t), but November is no longer November. No sir, it’s actually MOvember, a month in which people grow mustaches for charity (whether or not that makes any sense is not the point of this article), and to celebrate this month of ironic ‘staches […]

Longbox Diving – The Order

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 2, 2011 | Columns

Earlier today, we brought you our interview with Matt Fraction from NYCC. Given our fondness of his body of work, it only made sense that this week’s Longbox Diving be somewhat Fraction themed. We already rant, rave and more about Casanova regularly, but there was another book that spun out of the ashes of Civil War which came, […]

Art of the Week (Week of 11/2/11)

By David Harper | Nov 2, 2011 | Columns

It’s two days after Halloween, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the best art of the week with a featured holiday piece from Dustin Nguyen. Featuring The Joker and Harley Quinn (classic look, less corset), this piece highlights all of the things we love in Nguyen’s work and then some. Click through the jump […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (11/2/11)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 1, 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 […]

Enormous: The Art of the Pitch

By David Harper | Oct 31, 2011 | Columns

Previously on Multiversity Comics, we’ve talked about an upcoming Shadowline (by way of Image) Comics release from writer Tim Daniel and artist Mehdi Cheggour called Enormous. That book is arriving in July 2012 and, befitting Halloween, is all about giant monsters. Here’s a quick synopsis of what the hardcover one-shot is going to be about. […]

This Month in Comics: October 2011

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 31, 2011 | Columns

Journey Into Mystery #630 It’s been quite some time since I last wrote this article (March 2011, to be specific). Due to the increasing number of our staff, this rotating article comes to my desk not quite often anymore. Now that it has come to me, I’m pleased to present to you my own warped […]

The Weekend Week In Review (10/30/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Oct 30, 2011 | 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 […]

NYCC Pick-Up Friday Recommendation – Gronk

By Joshua Mocle | Oct 28, 2011 | Columns

Ever since I first saw her adorable Marvel Cats a few years back, I’ve been in love with Katie Cook’s offbeat and too adorable to function approach to comicbookery. Frankly, the industry needs more lighthearted and playful approaches to super hero conventions and with a pin-up here and a variant cover there, Ms. Cook has […]

Digiversity: Digital Spotlight (Week of 10/28/11)

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 28, 2011 | Columns

Article originally written by Ryan Closs There are lots of high-profile digital releases this week. Along with another round of #2 from the new DC 52, we had Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso (of 100 Bullets fame) reuniting with a new Vertigo mini-series called Spaceman. We also had the first glimpse at the new X-Men […]

Longbox Diving: The New Fantastic Four

By Joshua Mocle | Oct 28, 2011 | Columns

What will almost assuredly become know as “90s week at Multiversity” continues! Despite the immensely iconic nature of The Fantastic Four’s line-up, their roster has still fluctuated over the years as one or more of their members shifted through phases of dead, powerless, depressed or in love. However, for one particularly strange three issue adventure, […]

Return of the Return of the 1993 Marvel Annuals

By Patrick Tobin | Oct 26, 2011 | Columns

Yesterday, I put up an article detailing some of the history of the fabled, ill-remembered 1993 Marvel Annuals. The thing is, though, as that article was being put together, we at Multiversity Comics looked at it and thought, “You know, telling the creators’ stories and sharing their anecdotes is nice and all, but what’d be […]

Art of the Week (Week of 10/26/11)

By David Harper | Oct 26, 2011 | Columns

This week on our Art of the Week feature, we’ve got a look at some really great new art from the past week. Featured artists include regular favorites like Francesco Francavilla, Massimo Carnevale and Tradd Moore as well as newcomers like Phil Jimenez and Katie Cook, as they throw down a bevy of pieces on […]

Off the Cape – Habibi by Craig Thompson

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 25, 2011 | Columns

It might seem odd to you, dear reader, that this column that celebrates the smaller press and non-capes and tights related books has not yet discussed Craig Thompson’s latest effort, Habibi — especially after the original version of this column so heartily celebrated his last major effort, Blankets (back when this was just written by […]

Star Trek / Legion of Super-Heroes : 10 Things We Want To See

By Chad Bowers | Oct 24, 2011 | Columns

Occasionally a comic comes along and you’re utterly astonished that no one’s done it before. Star Trek / Legion of Super-Heroes is just that kind of comic. I mean, consider this: the crew of the Enterprise have met the X-Men — THE X-MEN — but have never crossed-paths with the Legion? Doesn’t that seem wrong, […]

Digiversity: Digital Spotlight (Week of 10/21/11)

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 21, 2011 | Columns

Article originally written by Ryan Closs Yes, yes, I took another week off. I was at NYCC with several others of the Multiversity Comics boys. I wasn’t working as hard as the rest of them but I did run defense during a couple of interviews. There wasn’t a whole lot of digital comics news that […]

Friday Recommendation: The Sandman

By Walt Richardson | Oct 21, 2011 | Columns

Those of us that got into comics later in life, rather than reading them consistently from the get go, are used to the standard lists of recommended reads. There’s Watchmen, of course, Maus, V for Vendetta, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, A Contract With God… there are many options, and while the various lists have […]

Longbox Diving – "A Good Man" (from Wolverine v2 #175)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 19, 2011 | Columns

Schism is over, Regenesis has taken place, and in a week Wolverine and The X-Men #1 will launch to mark the true beginning of a “new era”. Or something along those lines, anyway. But did you know that Jason Aaron has been writing Wolverine since 2002? Kinda sorta, anyway. Let’s talk about that one short […]

Art of the Week (Week of 10/19/11)

By David Harper | Oct 19, 2011 | Columns

On this week’s Art of the Week, we’ve got a lot of great entries thanks to the sketch and commission fest that is New York Comic Con. But I have to say, this week from the magical land called Comic Twart came one of my favorite pieces I’ve featured on this column: Dan McDaid’s hysterical […]
