Character Spotlight: Rulk Redemption

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 31, 2010 | Columns

Article originally written by Patrick Mitchell He’s screaming because nobody sees that he is the greatest character in the history of comic books. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating but he’s certainly not the worst. I know many of you reading this will gasp at the notion and say “Pat, how can you say something so horrible?” […]

Multiversity Comics Countdown: Top Current Non-Marvel/DC/Vertigo Titles

By Matthew Meylikhov and David Harper | Aug 31, 2010 | Columns

Recently, IGN did a series of Top 10 lists highlighting the best titles at DC, Marvel, Vertigo and Indie comics publishers. We greatly enjoyed the list – they did a great job – but we realized we also didn’t entirely agree with their choices as a website. It’s the nature of industry and the medium, […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: The Authority

By Jess Graham and Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 30, 2010 | Columns

Last week we had several rumors of an Authority film, only to find out it’s not actually happening. Not necessarily the worst thing in the world (since I’m someone who doesn’t usually love comic/film adaptations), but it did spark up a brand new debate as to who could play in the possible film. The last […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 29, 2010 | Columns

Oh snap! It’s Burpee’s Got You Covered time!So sit back and relax as I take you on a viewing pleasure trip. I’ve gone through the books released this week and I’ve selected my favorite covers of the week. There is no criterion for my selections other than the cover needing to catch my eye for […]

THIS MONTH IN COMICS – A Wrap Up of the Best and Worst of August

By Walt Richardson | Aug 29, 2010 | Columns

With the end of the month comes some unfortunate news: I am leaving the Multiversity Comics team. Don’t worry, there’s no bad blood, life just sometimes gets in the way of what we enjoy. Thanks very much to all of you who read my articles and enjoyed them. You may see me stepping in to […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (8/25/10)

By David Harper | Aug 25, 2010 | Columns

This week on Comics Should Be Cheap!, four of Multiversity’s writers pick what comics they’d grab if they could only get $20 worth of comics (I can’t even imagine what that world would be like!). For readers who are looking to buy on a budget, this is a good resource for you. Check out our […]

Multiversity Comics Countdown: Top Current Vertigo Titles

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 25, 2010 | Columns

Recently, IGN did a series of Top 10 lists highlighting the best titles at DC, Marvel, Vertigo and Indie comics publishers. We greatly enjoyed the list – they did a great job – but we realized we also didn’t entirely agree with their choices as a website. It’s the nature of industry and the medium, […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Aug 22, 2010 | Columns

This week I’m back! Thanks to David for stepping in last week while I was otherwise occupied. This week we have some fantastic covers. As far as artists we have two who make their second appearance and another that surprisingly makes just their first. So what do we have this week? Click the jump and […]

Saturday Showdown – Avengers Round-Up

By Matthew Meylikhov and Gilbert Short | Aug 21, 2010 | Columns

There are 7 Avengers titles on the market right now. No, seriously! There’s Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Avengers Academy, Avengers: Prime, Ultimate Comics Avengers 3, and Avengers: Children’s Crusade – and that doesn’t even include all the mini’s that are planned (such as Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet, out this week by Atomic Robo […]

Artists Deserve Your Love

By David Harper | Aug 20, 2010 | Columns

Two articles came out today that really made me think about the role of the artist in a new way when it comes to comics. As a reviewer, I think even I am guilty of short changing artists in their role in the comic book medium, and it’s something I’ve often thought of while writing. […]

Friday Recommendation – Wolverine: Weapon X

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 20, 2010 | Columns

This week, a great series came to an end. Not in a cancelled sense of the word by any means. The series is simply being replaced with a similar title. If you can’t guess, I’m talking about Wolverine: Weapon X. Coming out of absolutely nowhere, Jason Aaron got his first Wolverine ongoing title and created […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (7/19/10)

By David Harper | Aug 18, 2010 | Columns

Comics should be cheap. It’s a mantra shared by both new and long-time fans of the medium. To pay $3.99 for a 32 page comic seems insane to us, but we do it anyways because of a deep love for the characters and the stories that are told about them by exceptional creators. But if […]

Off the Cape: Four Eyes

By David Harper | Aug 17, 2010 | Columns

In this week’s Off the Cape, I take a look at Four Eyes from Joe Kelly and Max Fiumara. This book from Image Comics has been oft delayed but has earned critical acclaim thanks to Kelly’s standard (exceptional) work, Fiumara’s dazzling art, and a concept that is easy-to-love: a family (both in terms of nuclear and […]

Multiversity Comics Countdown: Daredevil’s Happiest Moments

By David Harper | Aug 17, 2010 | Columns

Being a superhero isn’t easy. Not by any means. For most, it seems their lives are just a series of down times that are mostly caused by their secret identity. Perhaps no hero is more haunted than Daredevil (Matt Murdock), a man who has turned brooding into an artform and heartbreak into a way-of-life. With […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: Phonogram – The Singles Club

By Jess Graham and Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 17, 2010 | Columns

Welcome back to Multiversity’s Casting Couch! We’re a day late, but assuredly not a dollar short. We had some problems because we originally wanted to cast Planetary (which we declare COMPLETELY unfilmable in any way, shape, or form) and instead turned to a book that is repeatedly recommended, pushed, praised, and glorified here at Multiversity […]

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: KO’d From the Start

By David Harper | Aug 16, 2010 | Columns

With a budget of $60 million, strong reviews throughout (80% on Rotten Tomatoes), and a cast and crew seemingly befitting a box office success, some would have thought Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (the adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic series) would have been a fairly good bet to be a hit. Box […]

David’s Got You Covered

By David Harper | Aug 15, 2010 | Columns

Brandon’s tied up this week, so it’s my turn to take a look at the best covers of the week. I’m not going to lie: I’m glad he’s out this week because there were a ton of great books that exemplified the power of the cover very well. I mean, it’s a week in which Gabriel […]

Friday Recommendation: The Amazing Spider-Man by JMS

By Walt Richardson | Aug 13, 2010 | Columns

Like many kids who grew up in the 90’s, two of my favorite shows were Batman: The Animated Series and Spider-Man: The Animated Series. While the former has stood the test of time, the latter… well, not so much. Nevertheless, my attachment to these two shows ensured that when I first got into comics, I […]

Web Comic Spotlight: Cat Versus Human

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 12, 2010 | Columns

I’ve been pretty open and notorious about my natural shying away from web comics. I like strips I can just randomly jump into and find humor in without a big deal of background knowledge. Long scale stories are things I like reading in print, although there are a few exceptions to the role. This is […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (8/10/10)

By David Harper | Aug 11, 2010 | Columns

This week in Comics Should Be Cheap!, our brave writers face an unenviable task: buying comics on a budget during a big week! Dun dun dun! What will they do as they navigate the halls of their local comic store with only Andrew Jackson guiding them? Tune in after the jump to see what comics […]

Off the Cape: Afrodisiac

By David Harper | Aug 10, 2010 | Columns

In this week’s Off the Cape, we’ve got 2010’s Afrodisiac from Brian Maruca and Jim Rugg. This book was met with critical acclaim and much love from readers, yet it isn’t something you can go into a shop and have a conversation with just anyone about. The superhero set hasn’t fallen head over heels with […]
