Off the Cape: North 40

By David Harper | Jul 26, 2011 | Columns

Two things came out of San Diego Comic Con that made the rounds quickly as buzzed about happenings: first off, the announcement of a new Brian K. Vaughan book in Image Comics’ SAGA (say it with me: YES!!!!) and second off, the Batgirl vs. DC panel controversy centered around DC’s perceived under representation of the […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (7/27/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Jul 26, 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 […]

Matthew’s Got You Covered (Week of 7/20/11)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 24, 2011 | Columns

Hello! It’s a Matt week of Got You Covered! You know what that means: I write far too much, you skip over it and look at the pictures, then you come back to see Brandon do it. I’m ok with that. Check after the cut for this week’s covers. I promise to write far too […]

The Weekend Week In Review (7/20/2011)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 23, 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: Superman – Red Son

By Walt Richardson | Jul 22, 2011 | Columns

For the longest time, I wasn’t a fan of Superman. Of course, I was a kid when I began feeling this way, so a big part of it was that Supes just wasn’t cool. Over the years that preconceived notion warped and bent into the view that there was no way a goody two-shoes like […]

Fund It!: The History of the DCnU

By Walt Richardson | Jul 20, 2011 | Columns

I have a strange relationship with continuity. Primarily, I prefer for stories to be stand-alone enough that if you pick up a series from #1, you’ll have all that you need. However, if a setting has extensive continuity, I do like for it to match up well enough that you can form a reading order […]

Off The Cape: James Stokoe’s Orc Stain

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 19, 2011 | Columns

Comics are such a fun place. They really are. Given that comics are still described as a niche medium, it’s safe to say that a lot of people are missing out due to stigmas about the entire medium; specifically that every comic worth reading probably has a cape or tight in it, and every “indie” […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Jul 17, 2011 | Columns

So this week is a smaller version of the column than we’ve had in quite awhile. The reason being that I just wasn’t impressed by much of what hit the stands this week. Sure there was some neat stuff but nothing really blew my mind. As a result I have one cover to share with […]

Friday Recommendation: Brian Reed’s Ms. Marvel

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 15, 2011 | Columns

For some reason as of late in the Multiversity Offices, I find myself repeatedly bringing up one point within conversation: I want to read more superhero comics by Brian Reed. I can’t remember what stemmed this (it was probably discussion of Dark Reign or something), but I find myself repeatedly hopping onto Amazon to see […]

Fund It!: The Illuminati

By Walt Richardson | Jul 13, 2011 | Columns

I may be in the minority, but I love Marvel’s Illuminati. There’s something that I find cool about a group of Marvel’s best running things behind the scenes. That being said, the group has never really reached the heights that I can see them getting to. You know who could bring them there, though? Jonathan […]

Off the Cape: God Hates Astronauts

By David Harper | Jul 12, 2011 | Columns

On this week’s Off the Cape, I cheat. This comic features capes, but I can promise you, Ryan Browne’s webcomic God Hates Astronauts stars superheroes quite unlike any you’ve ever seen. I was going to describe it, but that truly won’t do it justice. I’ll let Browne’s Twitter page do that for me. The worlds […]

23 Words That Say Why You Should Buy "The Strange Talent of Luther Strode"

By David Harper | Jul 11, 2011 | Columns

“As far as first-time efforts go, I’d put them in the same class as guys like Jonathan Hickman and The Luna Brothers.” This is what Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson had to say about The Strange Tales of Luther Strode creators Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore in our interview from yesterday. The book, coming in […]

Matthew’s Got You Covered (Week of 7/6/11)

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 10, 2011 | Columns

Hello! I have returned to Got You Covered to talk about covers! While you read this, I’ll be on a beach somewhere lounging about like a bum and reading comics. So ask yourself: if I’m on the beach, how did I write this? It’s a mystery! (Cue LOST logo.) Check after the cut for this […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Secret War

By Patrick Tobin | Jul 8, 2011 | Columns

Continuing my entropic decline into navel-gazing about the pointlessness of superhero events. More rambling after the jump. The past couple weeks, I’ve written about crossovers that were forgotten for one common key reason: no one really cared about them to start with. If you sat around in 1995 going “Gosh, I can’t wait for The […]

Friday Recommendation: Filmish

By Patrick Tobin | Jul 8, 2011 | Columns

Let’s take a break from superheroes and violence this week and go to the movies, hmmm? More after the jump. Last year, I attended the Edinburgh International Film Festival — the one in Scotland — and in the lobby of the Filmhouse, the theater acting as central hub, they had a couple little racks set […]

Fund It!: Strange Adventures… the Ongoing

By Walt Richardson | Jul 6, 2011 | Columns

Did you read Strange Adventures when it came out a month and a half ago? I enjoyed it quite a bit, but there was one big problem with it: it was only a one shot! In my opinion, there’s no reason DC should not have a Vertigo anthology running on a monthly basis, and I […]

Off The Cape: De:TALES

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 5, 2011 | Columns

Last year, I’m sure you must have heard of a pair of brothers by the name Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon. You really should have if you didn’t. Why? Because last year, the duo came out with the phenomenal Daytripper, a meditation on stories, life and death that absolutely blew away critics everywhere (ourselves included). […]
