Soundtrack to Your Geekout – Volume #1, Track #3

By Joshua Mocle | May 21, 2010 | Columns

So, in the ongoing development of this column, I began to ask myself “is there one defining characteristic of a piece of music that would help it specifically synch up with a comic book.” Despite my best efforts (AKA my delusions of grandeur), there really is no way I can admit that EVERY song is […]

Friday Recommendation: The Flash

By Gilbert Short | May 21, 2010 | Columns

This week’s Friday recommendation is something a little different. As opposed to an old graphic novel or an arc that you don’t remember, I’m going to the roots of the article and recommending a new ongoing title that has quickly become one of my favorites. The Flash is an interesting character. Well loved by the […]

Small Press Spotlight: Daniel Clowes’ Wilson

By David Harper | May 18, 2010 | Columns

In this week’s Small Press Spotlight, I take a look at a recent release from Drawn and Quarterly by legendary creator Daniel Clowes (Ghost World, Art School Confidential). His book Wilson was just released on April 27th, but it’s already earning him praise for everything from the diverse artwork to the misanthropic and incredibly memorable lead […]

The Short Report: Dissecting a Perfect Score

By Gilbert Short | May 18, 2010 | Columns

This past week, I did something I thought I’d never do. I gave a book (The Luna Brothers’ final issue to The Sword) a perfect score. What followed was a little criticism (of my critique!), with some pointing out that the book didn’t deserve a perfect score, but instead should have gotten a score much […]

The Multiversity Casting Couch: Ultimate Spider-Man

By Gilbert Short | May 17, 2010 | Columns

Guaranteed you don’t know this, but this was the original inspiration for the column. Wizard brought it back because of the news that Spider-Man was being rebooted with a whole new direction. I liked this (and some of their choices, which you will see in the article), and wished they would bring it back. But […]

A Crisis of Chronology: Avengers Disassembled – Siege

By Walt Richardson | May 16, 2010 | Columns

Advertised as an event “seven years in the making,” Siege was the finale of Marvel’s chain of status quo shaking events following Brian Michael Bendis’ 2004 event Avengers Disassembled. As such, I thought that I would compile a list of the important stories from Disassembled to Siege for this week’s helping of A Crisis of […]

Walter’s Got You Covered!

By Walt Richardson | May 16, 2010 | Columns

You get a double-dose of Walter today as I step in for Burpee and give you my opinions on the best covers of the past week. Will we be seeing the standard chart-toppers of Finch and Granov, or will I be bringing you something completely different? Well the only way to find out is to […]

The Rulk Stands Revealed – Now What?

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 15, 2010 | Columns

Remember this guy? The Rulk is one of the only characters alive who is almost entirely mutually loathed, if only for his complete lack of any kind of redeeming qualities. Created a little over two years ago in Hulk #1 by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness, the Rulk has been a boon for Marvel’s sales […]

Soundtrack to Your Geekout – Volume #1, Track #2

By Joshua Mocle | May 15, 2010 | Columns

Alright, full disclosure admittance/clarification of something not clarified last week: the comics and tracks I pick for this column do not follow any kind of specified “if this, then…” formula. In other words, from week to week either the comic will come first in my thought process and have a piece of music paired with […]

Friday Recommendation: Max Overacts

By David Harper | May 14, 2010 | Columns

This week on Friday Recommendation, I have a comic for you that is very new but also very, very good. It’s earning buzz from Robot 6 because of its effortless charm and remarkably well crafted lead character, and it should earn your love too. It’s Max Overacts from Caanan Grall (Zuda’s Celadore), and it’s pretty […]

Updated for Siege: The Sentry: Worst Character in Comics?

By David Harper | May 12, 2010 | Columns

In honor of The Sentry’s VERY likely demise in today’s Siege #4, I wanted to update an article I wrote last year for MC. Well…honor may be the incorrect word here. Celebration may be more proper, as this article is all about why exactly The Sentry is the worst character in comics. Believe me when […]

Small Press Spotlight: Bottomless Belly Button

By Multiversity Staff | May 11, 2010 | Columns

Article originally written by Steve Ponzo Bottomless Belly Button is a 720 family drama filled with neurosis, romance, mystery, comedy, fond memories, bad parenting, teen angst and sexual awakening. The book is big but not overwhelming, and sad with out being tragic. This is a graphic novel of tallest order, from one of the most […]

The Multiversity Casting Couch – Secret Six

By Gilbert Short | May 10, 2010 | Columns

One of my favorite books on the market, and easily my favorite team book, Gail Simone started something great with a villainous Secret Six. Based on an older idea, Gail took it and made it more interesting, with lesser known villains taking the reins for a mercenary-centric story that’s ultimately violent and a LOT of […]

Roundtable Discussion: Who Makes the Comic Mom Mount Rushmore?

By David Harper | May 9, 2010 | Columns

This is hopefully the first of many roundtable discussions we’ll have, in which multiple of Multiversity’s writers will get together and discuss a single topic. Today, in honor of Mother’s Day, we have Walt, Gil and I talking about comic moms and eventually making the decision of who to put on the comic mom Mount […]

Burpee’s Got You Mothered!

By Brandon Burpee | May 9, 2010 | Columns

With it being Mother’s Day we here are Multiversity wanted to get into the spirit by offering up some Mother’s Day content. My site mates did a round table discussion about the best mothers in comics and it turned out great. For me though I wanted to do a specific list and give some reasons […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered! #18

By Brandon Burpee | May 9, 2010 | Columns

Welcome back to another fantastic week of Burpee’s Got You Covered! This week we’ve got the usual unusual assortment. This week though there is a surprise for those of you that frequent this list. No X-Titles, well technically, and no Finch or Granov! So shit is up in there air! Who will be on the […]

A Crisis of Chronology: An Intro to Marvel

By Walt Richardson | May 9, 2010 | Columns

Unlike DC, Marvel rarely revamps their heroes’ origin stories. While this can certainly be considered a good thing, as we don’t have to read the same story over and over again with a few touched up details, it doesn’t help bring in newer readers. No matter how amazing the classics are, it’s often hard for […]

Friday Recommendation: Grant Morrison’s Animal Man

By Joshua Mocle | May 7, 2010 | Columns

While my initial (and by initial I mean I wrote it out entirely and then scrapped it) recommendation for this Friday was a comic that was a little more candid and closer to home, I’m frankly surprised that the run I eventually settled on hasn’t made it to the hallowed Friday Rec halls up until […]

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

By Joshua Mocle | May 7, 2010 | Columns

Since this is the first column of this run, a bit of an introduction is in order: Let’s face it: we all get songs stuck in our heads. Whether it is your beloved favorite track, an overplayed radio hit or even a jingle some mom and pop shop commissioned some most likely incompetent marketer to […]

Burpee’s Stoked for Solicitations!: July 2010

By Brandon Burpee | May 5, 2010 | Columns

One of my favorite things every month is to read through the solicitations that tell us what kind of awesome to expect three months down the road. While doing that this month inspiration hit. An idea for a new monthly column! This article is a new monthly column I’ll be doing that points out the […]

Small Press Spotlight: Power Out

By David Harper | May 4, 2010 | Columns

Before a month ago, I’d never heard of Nathan Schreiber’s Power Out. It stayed out of my sight for a while, but when the Eisner Award nominations were announced it could hide no longer. Power Out is nominated in the vaunted Best Digital Comic category, and it faces off against elite works from creators like […]
