Friday Recommendation: Phonogram

By Joshua Mocle | Aug 7, 2009 | Columns

Well this since is my official Multiversity debut I might as well introduce myself. My name is Josh. If you read or post to this site regularly I probably won’t like you for very long and will argue against points I agree with just to get a rise out of you. Now that that’s out […]

Gil vs. David vs. Matt Round 1: Which Crisis Is Best?

By Matthew Meylikhov, Gilbert Short and David Harper | Aug 1, 2009 | Columns

As far as DC goes, the Crisis is the biggest event you can come by. The whole multiverse is equally affected by the actions taken in these events and they usually leave us with ground shattering changes. Originally, the crisis was a yearly event where the JLA and the JSA would meet up and team […]

Friday Recommendation: The Invisibles

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 31, 2009 | Columns

Article originally written by Carina Avila Being the newbie has it’s perks. I get to call dibs on doing the Friday Recommendation for this week and I have chosen it to be about one of my favorite comic books by what seems to be an author all the contributors and readers of this blog enjoy. […]

The Sentry: Worst Character in Comics?

By David Harper | Jul 29, 2009 | Columns

The Golden Guardian of Suck Everyone who reads comics has their favorite characters. My favorite characters are all versions of the Flash, Kyle Rayner, Jesse Custer, Bigby Wolf, Deadpool…and really the list goes on and on. Quite often though, you’re going to have your least favorite character as well. In my case, the character I […]

Character Spotlight: Marvelman

By Gilbert Short | Jul 25, 2009 | Columns

Today, at Comic-Con, Marvel did the unexpected. They announced that they purchased the rights to the legendary character Marvelman, a character originally created by Mike Anglo for British publisher Quality Communications(along with American publisher Eclipse Comics). Marvelman has had a storied, and troubled history in the world of comics. He’s a character who can be […]

Friday Recommendation: DC – The New Frontier

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 24, 2009 | Columns

To be quite honest I don’t know why this article doesn’t exist yet. Darwyn Cooke is one of my favorite writer/artists and The New Frontier changed the way I looked at DC. For the longest time, I had been a die hard Marvel fanboy. I’d watch DC movies and cartoons and I’d casually followed DC […]

How I Would Have Written Spider-Man 3

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 20, 2009 | Columns

One thing I like to do is write, which I believe is clear by the amount of posts in this blog that we have gained in such a short time. However, I occasionally go back and read some of my older writings that I’ve placed in other places and find a nice little piece that […]

Character Spotlight: Zatanna

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 17, 2009 | Columns

Women in comic books – let’s face it, more often than not they get objectified. It just sort of comes with the role. Female comic book characters often end up in skimpy outfits with excessive cleavage and are secondary players to males in comic books. But what happens when you have a character who feeds […]

Friday Recommendation: Grant Morrison’s New X-Men

By David Harper | Jul 17, 2009 | Columns

Grant Morrison is the most polarizing writer in the entirety of comics. Any write up about Morrison has to begin with a statement addressing that up front, as some will say that he’s the best writer in comics (our very own Matt) while others will curse his name (no one here, but plenty of others). […]

Friday Recommendation: The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 10, 2009 | Columns

Remember that film in 2002? The last film Sean Connery ever did before retiring? It was called The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and it was a collosal mess and not very worthy of a final farewell. The movie, although entertaining in it’s stupidity, left a bad taste in my mouth for quite some time. I […]

Author Retrospective: Brian Michael Bendis

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 10, 2009 | Columns

In an effort to make Multiversity Comics a “bigger blog” of sorts, I hope to introduce new features. While there will still be weekly reviews and recommendations on Friday, I figure that another interesting thing to write about would be articles detailing the rises and/or falls of some of the most popular comic authors. This […]

Friday Recommendation: The Incredible Hercules

By Gilbert Short | Jul 3, 2009 | Columns

Let’s face it, while Planet Hulk was one of the best Hulk stories in recent memory, the fallout of that event, World War Hulk, was a disappointment. In a word, it sucked. Nothing happened. We only got two things out of it. First, we got some great art out of John Romita, Jr., one of […]

Friday Recommendation: Y the Last Man

By David Harper | Jun 27, 2009 | Columns

While comics are growing increasingly accepted in the mainstream as a form of entertainment, there is still a bit of a stigma surrounding the medium. It’s a hard thing to escape for the industry, but every once in a while a book doesn’t just escape it, it becomes something of a pop culture phenomenon. Watchmen […]

Friday Recommendation: Ed Brubaker’s Captain America

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 19, 2009 | Columns

By now, everyone knows that all the rumors about Reborn are true: Steve Rogers is coming back. We don’t know how yet, or in what capacity, but just as many heroes consistently rise from the grave, so will the true Captain America. But how did we get to this point? Who was the man that […]

Friday Recommendation: Preacher

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 12, 2009 | Columns

Before the Watchmen film came out, a lot of hype was going into it as being the greatest graphic novel of all time. In conjunction with that, DC began to release a series called “After Watchmen…” where they showcased other fine titles in their various imprints. One of these titles, which is now getting a […]

DC Universe Online – I Saw This Too!

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 9, 2009 | Columns

While Marvel is busy pumping out highly anticipated RPG, DC is getting ready to give us the first real super hero MMO. Granted, we’ve had City of Heroes in the past, but come on, most people who played that agreed that it was a great big disappointment, and I’ll be first in line to agree […]

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 – I’ve Seen It, and It’s Awesome

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 5, 2009 | Columns

So, as most people know, I did not do a lot of work this week due to the fact that I was at E3 on the IGN company dime, playing games and writing articles. I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone, but the very first game I saw when I got to E3 […]

Friday Recommendation: Grant Morrison’s Batman

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 5, 2009 | Columns

Yes, I have returned from my magical trip over in LA, and as soon as I was able, I found myself reading Grant and Frank’s new Batman And Robin series. As David said earlier, this is definitely the book of the week, but he also made an important note that this book is one of […]

The Battle For The Cowl Aftermath And You: The Characters

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 1, 2009 | Columns

Without a doubt, one of the main things that brings us in as readers are the characters. For example, certain characters have such high popularity that when they come out in one book, people will pick it up just to see him or her in it. With that in mind, we now have 3 returning […]

Friday Recommendation: Green Lantern

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 29, 2009 | Columns

Arguably the most beloved superhero by everyone here at the blog, Green Lantern has really become something else in the past couple years. Ever since Geoff Johns’ brought him back in Green Lantern: Rebirth, Hal Jordan has absolutely been a force to be reckoned with (and here’s hoping Johns does the same to Barry Allen). […]

Scott Pilgrim vs. Every Other Comic Movie Ever

By David Harper | May 27, 2009 | Columns

The first place I ever saw anything about Scott Pilgrim was a few years ago at the Loussac Library in Anchorage, Alaska. Scott McCloud was speaking to a small but captive audience about understanding comics, and he used an interview with Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley and a page from the first volume of the […]
