Battle for the Cowl Aftermath And You: The Poster

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 27, 2009 | Columns

You know what my favorite part of any upcoming DC event? It’s the way they promote it with their clever little posters. The one before Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis is of particular note in my mind. However, since I don’t have either of those hanging up in my apartment – I have the one […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Dec 27, 2009 | Columns

This weeks Burpee’s Got You Covered is almost entirely dominated by Marvel. There is only one exception in the whole list. Outside of that I’m introducing a special category I like to call, “The WTF Were They Thinking Cover of the Week”. Over time I’ll introduce little side categories like this when necessary. This week […]

The Top 5 Requests For Marvel and DC In 2010

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 26, 2009 | Columns

With Christmas now no longer upon us, I feel that it is a good time to reveal to you some of the Multiversity Christmas lists. Brandon, Matt, and Gil have all decided to make their own lists to the Santas of the DC Universe and the Marvel Universe with their top 5 requests for the […]

Friday Recommendation: X-Statix

By Brandon Burpee | Dec 25, 2009 | Columns

X-Force/X-Statix was a brilliant title that launched from the ashes of a ruined title and became something completly unique to the X-Men franchise. Nothing had ever been like this and nothing ever will. A brilliant masterpiece that ran commentary on celebrity, politics, and reality tv. It was a can’t miss…well…unless you missed it. If that’s […]

Glenn Beck vs. Superman: Role Models In Today’s Culture

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 23, 2009 | Columns

Last night in the Twitterverse, two of my friends reported that conservative radio personality Glenn Beck has spoken out against Superman, claiming that he is a “terrible role model.” While I can’t find sources of said claim anywhere, it did spark a generally interesting discussion within my own brain as to how much of this […]

LCBS Spotlight: Midtown Comics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 22, 2009 | Columns

The triumphant return of the LCBS Spotlight! Now that we’ve had a break from the intrepid treks around all of MA (with a few more stores pending), it’s time to start breaking into other states. And the very first stop on the tour of the east coast is Midtown Comics, the premiere comic book store […]

Small Press Spotlight: The Killer

By David Harper | Dec 22, 2009 | Columns

At this point maybe I should just change the title of my weekly Small Press Spotlight series to the Archaia Comics Spotlight. Every Archaia comic I’ve read lately has been an absolute smash hit in my mind and has been completely deserving of the spotlight I’ve been giving them. Unsurprisingly, we have another Archaia title. […]

The Deadpool Rant, or How I Learned To Stop Buying So Many Comics And No Longer Love A Character

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 21, 2009 | Columns

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a rant, so note that “emotions are high”, and this is perhaps not that most rational/polite pieces we have ever published. That being said, enjoy! This morning, solicits for X-Related titles were posted on Comic Book Resources. Most of it was fairly entertaining and exciting. The return of Doop, the beginning […]

Friday Recommendation: Geoff Johns’ Flash

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 18, 2009 | Columns

With Blackest Night more than halfway over, Flash: Rebirth one issue away from being published in trade, and Blackest Night: Flash finally started up, we’re that much closer to having the brand new Flash series by Geoff Johns with art by the fantastic Francis Manapul. I figured then that it would be entirely appropriate to […]

Small Press Spotlight: Indego Blue, Ex Occultus, and The Order of Dagonet

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 15, 2009 | Columns

Sorry, David. It’s Matt’s turn to annex this spot!! I had a nice little group of some small press titles I’ve been waiting to post up until the Decade list is done, and now that is I’m ready to shine the spotlight on them. What I’ve got today are three issues by two different small […]

Lil Batman!

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 14, 2009 | Columns

Last night I posted a quick update with an amusing internet comic I found entitled Murder Burger, starring Sinestro, Larfleeze, and Atrocitus as fast food employees (well, not so much Larfleeze… he was just a nuisance). This reminded me of a comic someone showed me almost a year ago while I was in college, and […]

MURDER BURGER

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 14, 2009 | Columns

Those crazy cats over at 4chan, who have blessed the internet with such things as LOL Cats, Motivators, and pretty much every popular internet meme ever, have spawned a new meme out of the /co/ section: Murder Burger. Murder Burger is an “animated” series in which various Lantern characters, such as Atrocitus, Larfleeze, and Sinestro, […]

What’s Next? (A Look At The Upcoming Decade)

By David Harper | Dec 13, 2009 | Columns

Now that our The Decade According to Multiversity project is now over and the decade itself is coming to a close, a whole new world of uncertainty is opening up. At the beginning of the 2000’s, we had only heard of three of the top 10 ongoing series, one of the top four writers had […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | Dec 13, 2009 | Columns

Welcome to the first edition of Burpee’s Got You Covered! From here on out I’ll join you every Sunday to present my personal favorite covers of the week. To find these covers I survey the various titles released that week and choose my top five or so. I’ll discuss some of them and tell you […]

Friday Recommendation: Runaways

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 11, 2009 | Columns

With the posting of our Best Ongoing Series of the decade list, I was maybe most upset about the lack of inclusion of Runaways. Okay, maybe not all of the series, but the parts where Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona created one of the most original and fun youth oriented comics around. While it […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Ongoing Series

By David Harper | Dec 11, 2009 | Columns

This is it – this is the big finale of our look at the best the decade had to offer us as comic readers. While we assuredly missed a ton of titles (I was personally most saddened by not being able to include BPRD/Hellboy and Runaways), such is the nature of the system we used […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Writer

By David Harper | Dec 10, 2009 | Columns

The medium of comic books in many ways is one, in my mind at least, that is dominated by the writer working on the project. While artists, inkers, colorists, letterers, editors, and everyone else who works on a project definitely has a stake involved, writers dictate whether or not a project works more than anyone […]

Character Spotlight: Captain Cold

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 9, 2009 | Columns

Every great hero needs a great villain. It’s a simple balance of yin and yang. And while it is easy to great a great hero, sometimes it’s hard to create a compelling villain to go along with him. This is why so many heroes have a rather large “rogues gallery,” as it were. But then […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Artist

By David Harper | Dec 9, 2009 | Columns

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we have four wildly different writers then as we all chose a different top artist for the decade. Of course, there can only be one actual winner, and it was a scrap between the only two artists who managed to make it on all four of […]

Small Press Spotlight: Days Missing

By David Harper | Dec 8, 2009 | Columns

Recently I was sent the first four issues of Archaia Comics’ series Days Missing, a mini-series from this year that has yet to wrap up but has been developing increasing buzz with each passing issue. This title is a collaboration of Roddenberry Productions and Archaia and features a rotating cast of creators within the five […]
