Art of the Week (2/7 – 2/13)

By David Harper | Feb 14, 2011 | Columns

This week’s Art of the Week has a superb list of contributors, ranging from the typical Twarters and Periscopians to the very surprising and talented more indie centric creators. That includes work from one of my absolute favorite artists, Massimo Carnevale, as he put together a rendition of “The Assassination of Jesse James by the […]

Friday Recommendation: Desolation Jones

By Walt Richardson | Feb 11, 2011 | Columns

A few weeks back, we here at Multiversity were celebrating the return of Fell, one of Warren Ellis’s greatest comic creations that was put on a lengthy hiatus when his computer croaked in 2008. Of the many other projects whose future the dead computer made suspect, one of my personal favorites was Desolation Jones, a […]

Fund It! – Post-Grounded Superman

By Walt Richardson | Feb 10, 2011 | Columns

In about five issues, Superman is going to finish his walk about the United States and get back to flying about Metropolis — at least, I assume. I was intrigued by the idea behind the “Grounded” storyline when it was announced, but at this point I have gotten a bit tired of it and am […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (2/9/11)

By David Harper | Feb 9, 2011 | Columns

On this week’s edition of Comics Should Be Cheap, our writing staff has just $20 to spend on a huge list of fantastic books. It’s a really tough week to be discerning on, but you can find out what we pick after the jump. Let us know what you’re getting this week in the comments. […]

Off the Cape: Ivy

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 8, 2011 | Columns

Oni Press is a name synonymous these days with great comics and graphic novels, from genre hits like the Sixth Gun to now comic classics like Scott Pilgrim Of course, one of their newest releases is Ivy, by newcomer Sarah Oleksyk, an unassuming little title that came out last week and is currently sitting in […]

Art of the Week (1/31 – 2/6)

By David Harper | Feb 7, 2011 | Columns

On this week’s Art of the Week, we’ve got a smaller than usual batch of pieces because it seemed like there just weren’t as many options out there in Super Bowl Week. But there were some great ones, led by this incredible Sean Murphy sketch of Space Boy from Umbrella Academy off of “Aw Yeah […]

4 Color News and Brews: Dapper Dan (Part One)

By David Harper | Feb 7, 2011 | Columns

This week, 4 Color News and Brews starts with Brandon unveiling the latest and greatest drinking game – one that promises to nearly kill the two of them by the end of the month. They also talk news, including the Chew scratch and sniff cover, the Captain America poster, and some movie rumors about The […]

Friday Recommendation: Legionnaires

By Gilbert Short | Feb 4, 2011 | Columns

Back in the early nineties, when the Legion of Super-Heroes was rebooted without any mention of the Man of Steel, there were two titles, much like today. Only instead of having classic stories paired with modern stories, the two were independent of each other, with LoSH being the adult Legion, and Legionnaires being their teenage […]

Fund It! – The Future of All-Ages Comics

By Walt Richardson | Feb 2, 2011 | Columns

Since the downgrading of Brian Clevinger’s all-ages Captain America title from a four issue mini to a lone one-shot, all-ages comics have become the current hot topic within the comic fandom. Last Friday, David laid out the facts and the myths of all-ages comics, and today I would like to present some ideas as to […]

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

By David Harper | Feb 2, 2011 | Columns

I’m not going to lie – this is one of the lightest weeks in terms of recent comic history. There isn’t a lot out there that is really blowing us away, but there are a lot of nice books that still makes it difficult to keep our budget below $20. I do have to say, […]

This Month In Comics: January 2011

By Walt Richardson | Feb 1, 2011 | Columns

Normally when we do the month in review we focus on the best and worst of the month’s comic output. Surprisingly, though, I made it through the month without reading a single bad comic. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there were more than a few, but upon returning to college I have had neither […]

Art of the Week (1/24 – 1/30)

By David Harper | Jan 31, 2011 | Columns

This week on Art of the Week, we’ve got a slew of incredible offerings from talented artists all across the industry. To start, I’ve got a commission from Mahmud Asrar in which he depicts Pixie from the X-Men in absolutely gorgeous fashion. Phenomenal work from the upcoming “Star Wars” artist, and there is even more […]

Friday Recommendation: Tiny Titans and DC’s Super Pets

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 28, 2011 | Columns

There has been a lot of talk lately (especially on this site!) about All Ages comics, focusing on comics for young readers. It honestly feels like most people either outright ignore comics for kids, and those that want those comics don’t seem to realize that they do in fact exist – they’re just not typical […]

Fund It! – The Weirdo Return of Dr. Fate

By Joshua Mocle | Jan 27, 2011 | Columns

Other than what basically amounts to a supporting role in Justice Society of America, Dr. Fate has been getting the short end of the stick over the last few years. Frankly, its not really treatment befitting the eminent sorcerer of the DC Universe. That said, magic based books, especially within DC’s jurisdiction, have historically been […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (1/26/11)

By David Harper | Jan 26, 2011 | Columns

Some weeks are big. This week? HUGE. Comic fans from around the world are going to be filling the pain after this week, which makes our job as discerning readers with only $20 to spend even more difficult than usual. Find out what we’d buy in this huge week of Comics Should Be Cheap! after […]

Art of the Week (1/17 – 1/23)

By David Harper | Jan 24, 2011 | Columns

In this new post I’ll be throwing down every Monday, I’m going to be looking at the best art I’ve found online over the past week. The trick? It has to have been posted during that week, if not created during that week. This makes it a little more difficult, but also a lot more […]

Friday Recommendation: Battle Pope

By Joshua Mocle | Jan 21, 2011 | Columns

This Friday Recommendation has been a long, LONG time coming as it has taken me tragically long to acquire and absorb the fourteen issues of madness that is Battle Pope. Conceived by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore long before The Walking Dead was even a glimmer in their collective mind’s eye, the book was originally […]

Fund It! – DC/Marvel (or Marvel/DC)

By Walt Richardson | Jan 19, 2011 | Columns

As Joe Quesada left the position of Marvel’s Editor-In-Chief, people began to wonder: will we see another inter-company crossover between the Big Two anytime soon? If you were not aware, someone at DC (Bob Wayne, if I remember correctly) said that they would not crossover with Marvel until Quesada was out of the big chair […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (1/19/11)

By David Harper | Jan 19, 2011 | Columns

This week on Comics Should Be Cheap!, our column in which our writers have $20 to spend on their books of the week, making them have to make some hard choices. With a slew of exciting creator-owned books, a bunch of X-Books, and one big anniversary issue, it’s even more difficult this week. Find out […]

Multiversity Casting Couch – Hawkeye

By Joshua Mocle | Jan 17, 2011 | Columns

In this edition of the casting couch, we’ll take a look at one of my favorite characters – Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye! Ol’ Clint is a property Marvel has been optioning for the last few years, but so far has nothing really concrete lined up in terms of SOLO output for. However, with his popularity […]

Multiversity 101: Can Marvel Get Its Groove Back?

By David Harper | Jan 16, 2011 | Columns

Marvel has long been the eight-hundred-pound-gorilla of the comics industry, dominating the sales charts and the box office with their mix of iconic heroes and well told stories. When you really thought of it, there wasn’t really a “Big Two” anymore so much as Marvel and the lagging DC. But then 2010 happened. Well, to […]
