Multiversity Countdown: Top 5 C2E2 Announcements

By Matthew Meylikhov | Mar 22, 2011 | Columns

This past weekend was C2E2, Chicago’s big comic convention, had a door busting show with increased attendance and a ton of great creators peddling their creative juices to the masses. There was also a fair amount of announcements this weekend, from various companies telling us an array of things. We did our best to cover […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Mar 20, 2011 | Columns

Another week, another Burpee’s Got You Covered. This week brings a small list as I wasn’t entirely impressed by most of the covers out there. One stood above the rest, though. What cover is #1? Will the rankings in the top three change? Well, you’ll have to read on to find out! There’s only one cover, […]

Friday Recommendation: X-Men – God Loves, Man Kills

By Joshua Mocle | Mar 18, 2011 | Columns

It should be no surprise to anyone that knows me for more than five minutes that I live and breathe the X-Men. My youth was set primarily to the 90s animated series and my for the first six or so years that I collected comics, 80% of my pull featured the letter “X” in the […]

Fund It!: The Authority – Rebirth

By Walt Richardson | Mar 17, 2011 | Columns

On the one hand, I appreciate that Wildstorm tried to do something that truly couldn’t be done in your standard Marvel or DC superhero franchise. On the other, the current post-apocalyptic setting – while a good enough idea story-wise – really doesn’t fit in all that well with certain characters of the Wildstorm Universe. The […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (03/16/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Mar 16, 2011 | Columns

As usual, our writers are here to give you their suggestions for what you should get if you only have a nice, crisp twenty dollar bill to spend on comics this week. Warning: none of our writers are official financial advisers. Take what they say with a grain of salt (especially if they aren’t suggesting […]

Soliciting Burpee: DC’s June 2011 Solicitations

By Brandon Burpee | Mar 15, 2011 | Columns

While perusing the DC solicitations for June 2011, I noticed that there were a few things that caught my eye. It got me thinking that it might be fun to go back to an old column I tried but turned out to be way more time consuming than it was worth, called Burpee’s Stoked for […]

Multiversity Comics Countdown: The Best X-(Wo)Man

By Matthew Meylikhov, Gilbert Short, Walt Richardson, Joshua Mocle and Brandon Burpee | Mar 15, 2011 | Columns

It’s been a while, but Multiversity Comics Countdown is back! With this week, we decided to make a list based on something we’ve been talking a lot about around the offices – our favorite X-Men characters. The X-Men has a rather massive cast of characters, and while the overall number has dwindled post-M-Day, the general […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Mar 13, 2011 | Columns

It’s been awhile, but hopefully from here on out we’ll be back on track with looking at the week’s best covers. This week had some cool covers, but four in particular really stood out from the pack; three for good reasons and a fourth that stood out for all the wrong reasons. What covers made […]

Friday Recommendation: A Contract With God

By Walt Richardson | Mar 11, 2011 | Columns

This past week, we had what would have been the 94th birthday of one of the most talented men to every create comics: legend Will Eisner. Were the comics medium a musical instrument, he was its most proficient virtuoso. Sadly, in the current superhero-saturated industry, a large amount of comics fans have yet to read […]

Fund It!: Cyclops – A Retrospective

By Walt Richardson | Mar 10, 2011 | Columns

Cyclops is, without a doubt, my favorite member of the X-Men, and not because he has the coolest power. Well, maybe that plays a factor in it, but my appreciation for the character stems from the great work that has been done with the character in the past decade or so. Many great writers have […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (03/09/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Mar 9, 2011 | Columns

Another week, another Comics Should Be Cheap! While there’s some overlap, as usual, there are more than a couple of disagreements — I, for one, can’t understand how Matt can call Miller’s Batgirl the best non-Morrison Batman title when Snyder’s Detective Comics is on the shelves. As always, we hope our suggestions can help you […]

Friday Recommendation: Captain America: Man Out of Time

By Gilbert Short | Mar 4, 2011 | Columns

For today’s Friday Rec, I decided to go a different route and not recommend a Superman-related story for once. This time, I decided to go with a different character, in a different universe too! So I went with Captain America: Man Out of Time. It’s a bit of an offbeat choice to be sure. There’s […]

Fund It!: Power Man and Iron Fist… the Movie!

By Walt Richardson | Mar 3, 2011 | Columns

As we all know, all of Marvel Studio’s current franchises will collide in 2012’s Avengers film. The question is: where to from there? Sure, Iron Man 3 is already in the works, but I’m sure I speak for all of us comic fans when I say that we would like to see more than just […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (03/02/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Mar 2, 2011 | Columns

It’s a big week, with the release of Bendis and Oeming’s much-anticipated Takio making it difficult to choose more than a few items for this week’s list (well, for me at least). Follow the cut to see what we considered worth squeezing into $20 – and what didn’t make it. Walt’s Picks: Takio ($9.95) – […]

This Month in Comics: February 2011

By Joshua Mocle | Feb 28, 2011 | Columns

Since this is my first foray into the mystical world that is “This Month in Comics”, I’m probably gonna indulge a bit. Clickity on down for the best/worst/other of the comics world in the incredibly packed month of February, featuring The Fantastic Four, The Sixth Gun, Filipe Andrade, The Li’l Depressed Boy, Jonathan Hickman, Batman […]

Friday Recommendation: Marvel’s Astonishing Line

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 25, 2011 | Columns

When it comes to comic books, I feel like a lot of new fans often struggle to figure out where to come into stories. For example, people will go out to the cinema this summer to see the Thor movie, and upon seeing it they might be interested in checking out the Thor comic book. […]

Fund It! – The End Of the Runaways

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 23, 2011 | Columns

This week, your usual Fund It! host is a bit unable to maintain his duties to you in this article. It’s not because he doesn’t love you, but rather that he is an incredibly important man who needs to do a week off to save the multiverse. Yes, you read that absolutely correctly. So in […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (02/23/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Feb 23, 2011 | Columns

It’s a good week to be a fan of the medium. Lots of great series by lots of great creators are on this week’s shipping list, including multiple ever-enticing debut issues. If it was difficult to choose only $20 worth of comics last week, it was damn hard this week. Follow the cut for our […]

Art of the Week (2/14 – 2/20)

By David Harper | Feb 21, 2011 | Columns

In lieu of putting up a slew of different images this week, I wanted to guide readers attention to one specific art blog that started today – SkottieScott. This art blog comes from two Multiversity favorites – Skottie Young and Scott Morse – and is all about art and enjoying the process. As they say […]

Friday Recommendation: Nick Spencer Overdrive

By Joshua Mocle | Feb 18, 2011 | Columns

When I started reading comics, it was always the characters that I gravitated to when deciding which books to read and which to not. As I got older, my priorities shifted to the creators behind the stories themselves and it would be a lie if I said there were some creators I gave more allegiance […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (2/16/11)

By David Harper | Feb 16, 2011 | Columns

In this week’s Comics Should Be Cheap, we have a first for the column: neither writer picks any common book. Every single penny of our writers $20 goes to different books, and if that doesn’t say this is a pretty damn solid week of books, I don’t know what else would. Find out our picks […]
