Friday Recommendation: Scott Pilgrim

By Gilbert Short | Jan 29, 2010 | Columns

“WHAT? Scott Pilgrim hasn’t been recommended yet?” That was my initial reaction when I realized that this little gem had not been recommended. And with the movie adaptation coming out this summer (August 13th, according to the director himself), you should do yourself a favor and check out the series that started it all. I […]

Small Press Spotlight: Atomic Robo

By David Harper | Jan 26, 2010 | Columns

This week on Small Press Spotlight, I have a Multiversity favorite and really, a favorite of all discerning comic fans – Atomic Robo. Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener debuted this Eisner nominated title from Red 5 Publishing in October of 2007, and it has quickly captured fans from across the world due to the irreverent […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Jan 24, 2010 | Columns

Another week and another set of covers that I feel were pretty sweet. Well either they were badass or I want to mock and ridicule them. Until you check out the column though you’ll never know which it’s going to be. What do we have this week? We have Spidey villains, artists I don’t enjoy […]

Friday Recommendation: Beasts of Burden

By David Harper | Jan 22, 2010 | Columns

This week our Friday Recommendation falls upon me, and I finally get to recommend one of my favorite titles in recent memory: Dark Horse Comics’ release from the mind of Evan Dorkin and the brush of Jill Thompson – Beasts of Burden. This title saw its origins in four Dark Horse horror collections – “Book […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Jan 17, 2010 | Columns

Last week I complained that the weeks books didn’t provide me with enough quality covers. I hooped that there would be a better selection this week. Was there? Yes! Yes there was thankfully. I actually had a hard time narrowing the covers down but in the end I was able to make great sacrifices to […]

Friday Recommendation: Ultimate Spider-Man

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 15, 2010 | Columns

In honor of Bendis Week coming to its close, I am more than proud to offer up this Friday Recommendation. A long time ago, back when I wasn’t as big of a comic nerd as the one you’ve all come to love and respect since this site began. When I was growing up, my parents […]

Comic Critics: A Webcomic About Comics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 14, 2010 | Columns

I’m not really big on online webcomics. That’s usually David’s territory. I read Penny Arcade (because everybody reads Penny Arcade) and XKCD (science!), but that’s about it. I haven’t found any that have spoken to me. In the past, though, I’ve given props to online series that focus on comics, like The Variants, Lil’ Batman, […]

Rant: Stop Spoiling The Future Of Comics. Please?

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 13, 2010 | Columns

Yesterday, I posted that Marvel had announced that Kitty Pride would be returning in March in the pages of Uncanny X-Men (by Matt Fraction). The day before that, David and I double teamed a post in which we kept all the news for DC’s sequel to the Blackest Night, Brightest Day, up to date and […]

LCBS Spotlight: Hub Comics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 12, 2010 | Columns

This starts with a funny story: this weekend my friend came over to go to a comic book store and partake in the sales. I decided that, since I live in the city and he was coming in a car, I would use this opportunity to drive me around so I didn’t have to get […]

Small Press Spotlight: Essex County by Jeff Lemire

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 12, 2010 | Columns

Last year, a book started coming out on the Vertigo imprint of DC entitled Sweet Tooth. It was a surprisingly charming book, and one that I frequently recommend to friends when they ask me for a new book to read. It’s by author Jeff Lemire, who takes both the writing and artwork credit, but this […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Jan 10, 2010 | Columns

Not a strong week for covers. I’m not going to lie. Some decent stuff but compared to covers from other weeks the covers from this week would probably not make the list. Having hyped this list up this much how could you not come to see what I brought to the table this week? 4. […]

Saturday Showdown: Most Anticipated Title of 2010

By Matthew Meylikhov, David Harper, Gilbert Short and Brandon Burpee | Jan 9, 2010 | Columns

This isn’t our typical type of showdown, as we aren’t actually debating anything. This week in Saturday Showdown we’re taking a look at what each of our writers most anticipated title, arc, or basically anything comic related of 2010 is. We really think 2010 is going to be a great year for comics, and each […]

Friday Recommendation: Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow

By Brandon Burpee | Jan 9, 2010 | Columns

This OGN is the first I’ve ever purchased and it was a buy that was not originally intended. I did get it and have been grateful ever since. It is a story that while moving is still a fun read. It’s something I can someday read with, or to, my son. Released in June 2009 […]

Small Press Spotlight: Midnight Nation

By David Harper | Jan 5, 2010 | Columns

This is sort of a cheater week for me and my weekly Small Press Spotlight series. While every title I’ve highlighted so far has been from a fairly small press company, this week I am taking a look at Top Cow’s Midnight Nation. This title was released under their Joe’s Comics imprint in 2000 to […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered:The Best 9 of ’09 Edition!

By Brandon Burpee | Jan 3, 2010 | Columns

Welcome back to Burpee’s Got You Covered! Not much in the way of covers this week so what should a cover review column do? Oh I know! Today we’re going to take a look back at the best of the best from 2009. So what’s on the menu? Well how about an appetizer of my […]

Saturday Showdown: Will Kick-Ass Kick Ass?

By David Harper and Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 2, 2010 | Columns

For this week’s Saturday Showdown, we have the hottest topic of debate around the Multiversity offices: will Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s Kick-Ass be good or a new level of terrible for comic book movies? While some would say there is middle ground available here, as comic book fans we […]

Friday Recommendation: The Dresden Files: Storm Front Vol. 1

By Gilbert Short | Jan 1, 2010 | Columns

One of my favorite book series’ happens to be The Dresden Files. I know you might find it shocking that I read actual books too, but I do! So you can imagine how I excited I was when I found out the author Jim Butcher was adapting his first novel into a comic book. While […]

THIS MONTH IN COMICS – A Wrap Up Of The Best And Worst Of December

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 31, 2009 | Columns

December is over, and that means it’s time for a monthly wrap-up! There have been some great comics this month, but only a few can make the final cut. What do you think they were? Click behind the cut to read my take on the past month, as this year wraps up. It’s been a […]

Speeding To Oblivion

By David Harper | Dec 31, 2009 | Columns

We’ve been around for only a little while as a website, but Multiversity has drawn the attention of other fellow bloggers and received a number of fantastic links that have built our audience very steadily. Thanks to everyone for the support so far, but that is not actually what this post is about. One of […]

Small Press Spotlight: Queen & Country

By David Harper | Dec 29, 2009 | Columns

This week in my Small Press Spotlight series I have a release from Oni Press called Queen & Country. This title was written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by many different artists over its lifespan, and was comprised by 32 issues released between 2001 and 2007. My first experience with this title was while loitering […]

Supergirl: The Crown Jewel Of The Superbooks

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 28, 2009 | Columns

I’m not a big fan of Superman or the Superman books (I love how often I write this sentence on this website). I’ve read my fair share of Superman stories, sure, but I can never call myself a Superman fan. With the recent crossover event of New Krypton, in which the lost bottled city of […]
