Ghosts of Comics’ Past: 2003

By | Jan 11, 2024 | Columns

Multiversity’s history column is back with a comprehensive review of the comic industry of 2003. The year began with a series of changes at Diamond. The first was a response to super-discounted comics released in 2002, like “Batman: The Ten Cent Adventure,” the nine-cent “Fantastic Four” #60, and the thirteen-cent “Gen13” #0. These effectively gamed […]

Comics Should Be Cheap (1/10/24)

By | Jan 9, 2024 | Columns

Buying comics can be an expensive hobby. A lot of fans simply can’t afford everything they’re interested in, due to rising prices and the over-saturation of the market with superhero titles. That’s why we’re here. Every week, the Multiversity staff is asked “What would you buy this week if you couldn’t go over $20?” and […]

In Memoriam: Phyllis Coates

By | Jan 5, 2024 | Columns

Whether we want to or not, we all become our parents. My dad used to tell a story that the one and only time he played pub trivia as a young man, he was paired with his best friend Joe, and the question that would give them the win was “who played Lois Lane on […]

My Comics Year 2023: A Year (or Two) Without comiXology

By | Jan 4, 2024 | Columns

On February 14, 2022, the digital behemoth known as Amazon completed its decade-long digestion of the entity known as ComiXology. The app broke. The site was demolished. The covenant with its readers, breached. By the end of the year, the team behind the store was dissolved - be they tossed aside or relocated to other limbs of the beast - and what remained was a chipped, hollowed shell, slowing disintegrating before our eyes.

In Memoriam: Paul Reubens

By | Jan 4, 2024 | Columns

In the time before geek culture was mainstreamed, there were fewer places where people could be outsiders and still feel acceptable in polite society. This isn’t a “David Bowie showed me it was okay to be weird” piece, though I think those sentiments somewhat apply. The difference between Bowie and Paul Reubens is that Bowie […]

In Memoriam: Andre Braugher

By | Jan 3, 2024 | Columns

When the news broke last month that Andre Braugher had died from lung cancer, aged only 61, it stunned me in a way a celebrity death hadn’t in quite a while. As Raymond Holt, the stoic police precinct captain on the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Braugher had become a familiar presence in my life: even when […]

In Memoriam: Rachel Pollack

By | Jan 2, 2024 | Columns

Despite the prestige the name Rachel Pollack has in the comics world, she has surprisingly few titles to her name. In the mid-to-late ’90s, she wrote 11 issues of 1995’s “New Gods,” five issues of “Time Breakers” at the short-lived DC Imprint Helix, and two issues of “Vertigo Visions” (‘The Geek’ and ‘Tomahawk.’) In more […]

My Comics Year: Grandpa and The King

By | Jan 2, 2024 | Columns

It was a Wednesday in September. The sixth judging from a quick look at the calendar app. I sat in the retirement home day room with my grandfather, as I had almost every Wednesday for almost two years now. It was a standing family engagement: the weekly card game at the old folks’ home. But […]

2023 Year in Review: Johnny Hall

By | Dec 29, 2023 | Columns

Like a snake eating its own tail we come to the end of the year, re-ingesting and reconsidering the books, artists, and moments in the comics world that most moved us, or made us think, or perhaps even better, gave us shelter from the world outside for a short little while. And what a year, […]
