The Weekend Week In Review (9/10/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Sep 10, 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 […]

Friday Recommendation: Black Panther – The Man Without Fear

By Joshua Mocle | Sep 9, 2011 | Columns

With all of the hullabaloo over the DCnU relaunch this week, I’ve noticed some people forget two crucial things: one, that other companies other than DC still put out comics and two, that they aren’t the only company that can insert familiar characters into a wildly new status quo. Last year, in the wake of Marvel […]

Digiversity: Digital Spotlight (Week of 9/09/11)

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 9, 2011 | Columns

Article originally written by Ryan Closs Welcome back to Digiversity. Last week was the official launch of the DC same-day digital, and this week they had 13 new issues come out. (You can check out some great reviews of all of them here on Multiversity.) It saw Comixology become the top-grossing book app in iTunes, […]

Longbox Diving: Wildcats #1 by Grant Morrison and Jim Lee

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 7, 2011 | Columns

I’m sure you’ve probably read this bit of commentary before, but this whole DCnU thing going on? Not the first time that it’s happened. Not at DC, certainly. In fact, it’s not even the first time an event as convoluted as Flashpoint has happened in order to reset a universe and usher in a new […]

Hate Mail Special Edition #1 – Reflections on a Relaunch

By Joshua Mocle | Sep 6, 2011 | Columns

A little over and a year and a half ago, I began formally writing for Multiversity with a column called Hate Mail. In this column, I took out all of my post-college angst on everything I felt was wrong about comics and comic book culture. In relatively short order, I realized that while I managed […]

Off the Cape: Sweet Tooth

By David Harper | Sep 6, 2011 | Columns

When I was thinking of books to talk about for this week’s edition of Off the Cape, I was astounded to find out that we’ve never written an OTC or even a Friday Recommendation for one of the best books on the market: Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth. This Vertigo Comics series was Lemire’s first foray […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (9/7/2011)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 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 […]

The Weekend Week In Review (9/3/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Sep 3, 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 […]

Digiversity: Digital Spotlight (Week of 9/02/11)

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 2, 2011 | Columns

Article originally written by Ryan Closs Welcome back to Multiversity’s look at this week’s digital releases. It’s kind of a watershed week for digital comics with DC kicking off their relaunch, part of their relaunch philosophy is releasing everything the same day in stores as online. I liked Justice League #1 more than the rest […]

Friday Recommendation: The Unwritten

By Walt Richardson | Sep 2, 2011 | Columns

It has come to my attention that not everyone is reading Mike Carey and Peter Gross’s Vertigo series The Unwritten. Don’t worry, I’m not judging you too hard – I am a little bit, though. In either the occasional review or Comics Should Be Cheap!, you’ve probably read my thoughts, extolling what is no doubt […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Medieval Spawn / Witchblade

By Patrick Tobin | Sep 1, 2011 | Columns

One’s a character known for dying and having an action figure. One’s a character who’d never appeared anywhere. Can even Garth Ennis make this spin-off showcase work? Find out after the jump. In Grant Morrison’s book Supergods, in between all of the other things, he noted one fact that inadvertently explained a lot: that the […]

This Month in Comics: August 2011

By Patrick Tobin | Aug 31, 2011 | Columns

The above Achewood strip represents my relationship with comic books, particularly my genuine attempt (key word: attempt) at reading the fifteen million billion Flashpoint and Fear Itself tie-ins that came out this month, solely for the sake of this feature. I feel that it provides necessary context for the article that follows after the jump. […]

Longbox Diving – X-Men Icons: Iceman

By Joshua Mocle | Aug 31, 2011 | Columns

2001 was a good year to be an X-Fan (at least for lowly 14 year-old Josh). The first X-Men movie had just hit and Marvel was investing pretty heavily in the Mutant side of their universe. By bringing in talent like Joe Casey and Grant Morrison to revitalize the line, it created one of the […]

Multiversity vs the DCnU: The DCurrentU Finale Round-Up

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 31, 2011 | Columns

Today is the day: everything changes in a flash! DC’s Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1 are officially in stores, and with them comes a brand new universe full of brand new possibilities. We have just about no clue what is actually going to happen in the months to come – but we do know what has […]

Artist August: Phil Noto (Art Feature)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 31, 2011 | Columns

We’ve talked before about how great Phil Noto’s art blog is, but recently Noto started a new series of images: From The Hank Pym Photo Archives. Featuring classic Marvel characters in retro settings, the series acts as photographs of familiar faces in entirely non-superheroic settings. Or, to put it much more simply, it’s just a […]

Artist August: Win an Awesome Artist August Prize Pack!

By David Harper | Aug 30, 2011 | Columns

Do you like prizes? Do you like Artist August? Well we have a deal for you! Starting today and running until the close of the 31st, we’ll have a contest running in which anyone who comments on this thread with the name of their favorite artist and your favorite work of theirs will have the […]

Multiversity’s DC Reboot Wish List – 3 Months Later

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 30, 2011 | Columns

Right when the DCnU was announced, we at Multiversity had a myriad of reactions. One of our articles that we did featured every member of this site making just one wish for the relaunch. Some of us were specific, and some of us were not so specific – but we all knew next to nothing […]

Artist August: Sean Murphy (Art Feature)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 30, 2011 | Columns

To follow up on our earlier Off the Cape, we’d like to share with you some of our favorite images from Sean Murphy. While we unfortunately didn’t get the chance to chat with him, he is still one of our absolute favorite current working artists, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t get you on […]

Off the Cape: Off Road by Sean Murphy

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 30, 2011 | Columns

On occasion, it has happened that we’ll read a book by a writer we know and like with an artist we are unfamiliar with, and that artist will blow us away. It’s not a completely unusual occurrence, but every so often it does cause us to go out and actively search for more work by that […]

Artist August: Juan JosÃ© Ryp (Art Feature)

By Patrick Tobin | Aug 30, 2011 | Columns

Today in Artist August, we spotlighted Spanish artist Juan JosÃ© Ryp. Over the past decade, he’s gone from Jungle Fantasy covers to being the regular artist on Wolverine: The Best There Is. Along the way, though, he’s worked on stories from the likes of Alan Moore and Warren Ellis, and upped the stakes for detailed […]
