“The Anthology of Mind: Selected Short Stories”

By Justin McGuire | Sep 16, 2019 | Reviews

What is a comic? If you ask someone who hasn’t read many comics, they might say something about superheroes. If you ask someone who knows too much about comics, they’ll probably try to quote Scott McCloud and mumble something about the juxtaposition of a pictorial sequence. But beyond the contents and the form, comics have […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 09/11/19

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 16, 2019 | Reviews

There’s a lot to cover on Wednesdays. We should know, as collectively, we read an insane amount of comics. Even with a large review staff, it’s hard to get to everything. With that in mind, we’re back with Wrapping Wednesday, where we look at some of the books we missed in what was another great […]

Nailbiter Vol 5 Bound by Blood Featured

“Nailbiter Volume 5: Bound by Blood”

By Gregory Ellner | Sep 13, 2019 | Reviews

Despite encompassing the penultimate trade paperback, the fifth arc of “Nailbiter,” ‘Bound by Blood,’ tells a very effective story that is enough of a standalone tale to be good for newcomers if taken alone. Written by Joshua Williamson Illustrated by Mike Henderson Colored by Adam Guzowski Lettered by John J. Hill Buckaroo, Oregon, has given […]

“Gwenpool Strikes Back” #2

By Robbie Pleasant | Sep 13, 2019 | Reviews

The first run of “Gwenpool” ended when Gwen decided she’d rather let her comic end than become a villain and embraced a happy ending. Fortunately, her time at Marvel didn’t end there, as she became a member of the West Coast Avengers. Now she’s trying to do whatever it takes to remain relevant in “Gwenpool […]

Living and working in New York City can be tough. Being a struggling actor in the city can make life nearly impossible. Being a vampire hybrid on top of all that is damning.

“Moon Knight Annual” #1

By Michael Govan | Sep 13, 2019 | Reviews

At first, I wasn’t sold on the upcoming Disney Plus. I love Disney as much as the next guy, but come on. Another streaming service? If every company makes their own streaming service, it would seem that a bunch will probably fall by the wayside. I don’t know if this is sustainable or how it’s […]

By John Schaidler | Sep 13, 2019 | Reviews

After a three year hiatus, “Trees” is finally back.

“The Mighty Thor” 341-345

By Matthew Garcia | Sep 12, 2019 | Reviews

No doubt Walter Simonson’s “Thor” run defined the character. Much of what we know and love about the big ole galumph stemmed from what he turned in with “The Mighty Thor.” In the last sequence, we were given a space-faring adventure, with gods and hammers and cosmic confrontations. It ended with Thor losing his Donald […]

Riddler Year of the Villain Featured

“Riddler: Year of the Villain” #1

By Matthew Blair | Sep 12, 2019 | Reviews

Spoilers for “Riddler: Year of the Villain” #1 ahead. Despite what some people might think, the Riddler is a good villain. He’s got an interesting gimmick, a well-designed costume, a serviceable backstory, and a decent history of being just enough of a challenge to Batman to be viewed as capable, but not necessarily annoying or […]

“Starcadia Quest” #1

By Alexander Jones | Sep 12, 2019 | Reviews

Author James Roberts recently wrapped up his run on the Transformers property in November 2018 with “Transformers: Lost Light” #25.

“Pandemica” #1

By Rowan Grover | Sep 12, 2019 | Reviews

I’ve always been aware of Jonathan Maberry’s works like “V-Wars” and their popular reputations, but I’ve never dipped my toes in. With “Pandemica” #1, this proves to change, with a backdrop distinctly political as a virus ravages specific ethnic groups whilst leaving others unscathed. What we get is something not quite groundbreaking, but interesting. Written […]

“King Thor” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Sep 12, 2019 | Reviews

Jason Aaron’s run on “Thor” is considered by many to be a modern classic and a bit of a welcomed oddity, considering it’s length. It is with great aplomb, then, that Aaron and longtime collaborators Esad Ribic and Ive Svorcina start to finish it all with this excellent “King Thor” #1. Written by Jason Aaron […]

Tragedy strikes while Fabienne and her husband are on vacation. “Stay,” by Lewis Trondheim and Hubert Chevillard is a mediation on loss, grief, and the randomness of the world around us.

Webcomics Weekly #52: True Beauty, Group Assignments, and Mistakes (9/10/19 Edition)

By Michael Mazzacane and Multiversity Staff | Sep 10, 2019 | Reviews

Webcomics Weekly is back in your life. The column hits a major milestone, #52. If this were a certain numerically inclined publisher this is where I’d announce our big reboot (that isn’t a reboot retroactively) and a renumbering justified through a chronically late crossover. The Webcomics Weekly isn’t that way so we’ll keep the numbers […]

J. Michael Straczynski’s “Thor” Omnibus: “Thor” #9-12

By Matt Garza | Sep 9, 2019 | Reviews

Welcome back to my summer binge of J. Michael Straczynski’s 2007 “Thor” Omnibus. After rereading Jason Aaron’s run and looking back into Walt Simonson’s epic run, I wanted to delve deeper into the stories of Marvel’s God of Thunder, so I found this book at my LCS and decided to give it a go. This […]
