Soundtrack to Your Geekout – Volume #1, Track #6

By Joshua Mocle | Jun 12, 2010 | Columns

This week’s soundtrack as well as this week’s geekout aren’t quite as much of a perfect symbiosis as I’ve claimed the last few week’s pairing’s have been. To be perfectly blunt, these two pieces really don’t work all that well together at all, structurally or otherwise. One is a grandiose, arena ready anthem and another […]

The Comic World Cup Roster

By David Harper | Jun 11, 2010 | Columns

With the 2010 World Cup kicking off today in South Africa, my mind is all about that and not about comics right now. However, when I was thinking of one my mind naturally went to the other, as I thought “who would make the best soccer team in comics?” My mind raced at the options […]

Friday Recommendation: Daredevil

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 11, 2010 | Columns

Just like Gil, I want to bring this column back to the roots of it’s creation. Friday Recommendation originally existed as an entity for me to recommend on-going titles to readers, but quickly morphed away from that to expand into the completed title territory. Today, I’d like to offer up a combination of the two. […]

Small Press Spotlight: The Stuff Of Legend

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 8, 2010 | Columns

Every so often, I pick up a book at complete random. Usually it’s due to some kind of word of mouth, or perhaps a really intriguing cover. With the case of the Stuff of Legend, my reasoning would be a combination of both. Fortunately for me, it also happens that the Stuff of Legend is […]

Can Batgirl: Year One Rise From the Ashes?

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 8, 2010 | Columns

Article originally written by Jasmine Hall Recently, an Internet petition has been hitting many different websites in support for an animated Batgirl: Year One film that will likely not see the light of day. Countless websites have promoted the petition in an attempt to get Warner Brothers, DC comics and Bruce Timm to rethink its […]

A Crisis of Chronology: The Magic of Vertigo

By Walt Richardson | Jun 6, 2010 | Columns

If you’ve been reading comics for a while, then you’ve most likely read at least one comic from DC’s Mature Readers imprint Vertigo, or at least heard of it. While a lot of Vertigo titles are completely self-contained (Y: The Last Man, Seaguy), others still have a tenuous connection to the main DC Universe. While […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Jun 6, 2010 | Columns

A small week in comics results in the shortest list since the inception of this article. Don’t let the fact that it’s a smaller list than usual fool you into thinking these comics were selected only because of the limited choices available this week. The covers on this list caught my attention and would have […]

Can Stephanie Brown Fill the Batgirl Boots?

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 6, 2010 | Columns

Article originally written by Jasmine Hall We’re slowly approaching the year mark anniversary of the relaunched and rethought Batgirl title. As a market to add to the new atmosphere post Bruce Wayne, DC has given the Batgirl mantle to Stephanie Brown (a former crime fighter known as Spoiler and shortly Robin). Steph has been a […]

Multiversity Casting Couch: The Flash

By Gilbert Short | Jun 5, 2010 | Columns

This week on The Multiversity Casting Couch, I tackle a rumored project up after The Green Lantern. Why, it’s the other half of that famous friendship, The Flash! This one is a little bit more difficult, as I’m not the most familiar with the franchise. I spent a lot of time, however, looking up these […]

Soundtrack to Your Geekout – Volume #1, Track #5

By Joshua Mocle | Jun 4, 2010 | Columns

This will probably be the only edition of S2YG that could be given the subtitle of “completely obvious, borderline trite connection” as well as the shortest article of this run as its basically one giant “duuhhhhhh” moment, but I’m willing to take that hit since I love both the song and the issue I’m about […]

Friday Recommendation – Brit

By Joshua Mocle | Jun 4, 2010 | Columns

My love of all things that include the words “creator” “owned” “Robert” and “Kirkman” should come as a surprise to no one (except for Haunt…for the life of me I can’t get into it.) While being FAR from his most absurd creator owned character (that award goes to Battle Pope which, rest assured, will get […]

Op Ed: Dark Horse Needs To Get A Serenity/Firefly On-Going

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 3, 2010 | Columns

Can anyone reading this site name any science fiction show that was cut down before it really got the chance to grow and flex it’s wings appropriately? I’d hope the first thing that comes to mind is Firefly, because it definitely is the first one that comes to my mind. First airing in 2003, Joss […]

Batman: Reborn – A Year In Review

By Walt Richardson | Jun 3, 2010 | Columns

It has now been exactly one year since the post-Battle for the Cowl relaunch of the Batman titles under the Batman: Reborn banner. Books were cancelled, new books were launched, and previously existing books were dramatically changed in the aftermath of Batman R.I.P. Follow the jump for my personal opinions on the best and worst […]

This Month in Comics: A Wrap Up of the Best and Worst of May

By David Harper | Jun 1, 2010 | Columns

Today brings a new month, and with it my wrap up of the month of May in comics. This edition will be a little bit different, as Matt and I split duties to a certain degree. Not because of a format change or anything, but because I honestly couldn’t think of a comic,writer or scene […]

A Crisis of Chronology: New Krypton

By Walt Richardson | May 31, 2010 | Columns

If you caught this past week’s reviews at Multiversity, you should know that the massive New Krypton saga had finally ended and that I was a big fan of it. However, despite DC’s best efforts with their Free Comic Book Day offering, War of the Supermen #0, the final stand for the New Kryptonians was […]

Gilbert’s Got You Covered!

By Gilbert Short | May 30, 2010 | Columns

Welcome to another edition of Burpee’s Got You Covered, this time featuring everyone’s favorite me….ME! Burpee couldn’t make it due to a family emergency, and this being one of my favorite columns, I volunteered to step up! So do I like? Will Adi Granov continue his dominance? Will we even SEE an X-Men cover? Well, […]

The Multiversity Casting Couch: The Other Avengers

By Gilbert Short | May 29, 2010 | Columns

We already have our major players in the Avengers, with Robert Downey, Jr., Edward Norton, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth each playing the iconic roles of some of the most famous members of Marvel’s PREMIERE superteam, but who is going to play the others? We can’t go into an Avengers movie without Hank Pym or […]

Soundtrack to Your Geekout – Volume #1, Track #4

By Joshua Mocle | May 28, 2010 | Columns

I’m not going to lie, dear readers…I really wanted to write about Dillinger Four today. It is SO nice up here in Boston and with sun comes copious amounts of pop punk and I have been listening to D4 almost nonstop for three days now. However, like I mentioned last week, pop punk is really […]

Friday Recommendation: The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

By Walt Richardson | May 28, 2010 | Columns

Comics aren’t just for kids anymore. In fact, it’s been quite some time since they have been. With heaps of violence and overblown sexuality appearing in a good chunk of the books on the market, comics have acquired an even worse label than childish: sophomoric. While I would certainly contest this point with works by […]

Small Press Spotlight: Night Fisher

By Multiversity Staff | May 25, 2010 | Columns

Article originally written by Steve Ponzo R. Kikuo Johnson’s debut graphic novel, Night Fisher, is a compelling yet unsentimental coming of age story. It’s a portrait of awkward adolescence on the cusp of adulthood illustrated with the darker, more realistic tones of teenage life. Night Fisher is filled with bold artwork, psychological intricacies, and mature […]

A Crisis of Chronology: The Super Buddies/JLI

By Walt Richardson | May 23, 2010 | Columns

So you picked up the first issue of Justice League: Generation Lost after Brandon Burpee gave it a most excellent review. Unfortunately, if you are new to DC Comics, you may be wondering “…this is the Justice League? Who are these guys, and why should I care?” The core of this new series is made […]
