Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 09/04/19

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 9, 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 […]

By Michael Mazzacane | Sep 7, 2019 | Reviews

The work never stops for X-Force, someone always needs to be killed.

“Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium” #1

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 6, 2019 | Reviews

Re-introducing the Legion of Super-Heroes is always a tricky proposition, and one that DC attempts every ten years or so. The last “Legion of Super-Heroes” #1 was back in 2011, and wasn’t a reboot as much as a continuation of the prior volume, despite the fact that the rest of DC’s line was rebooted. Confused […]

“Everything” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Sep 6, 2019 | Reviews

The Berger Books imprint of Dark Horse Comics launches another thought-provoking new series with “Everything” #1 not with a thunderous clap, but with a mood-altering invasiveness thanks to the creative team of Christopher Cantrell and I.

“DCeased: A Good Day to Die” #1

By Michael Govan | Sep 6, 2019 | Reviews

Teamwork makes the dream work. See, it must be true because it rhymes. Seriously though, comic books would be nowhere near as fun without different and unique characters coming together.

“Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden” – Volume 12

By Justin McGuire | Sep 3, 2019 | Reviews

The names of the final three chapters are “Heaven’s Roar,” “The Fallen,” and “Love That Lasts a Hundred Years.” Anyone, even someone deaf to the storytelling tropes and directions up to this point, could still write the correct ending just from those chapter titles. They’re perfectly evocative. The entire final volume is an extended death […]

I’m going to be up front with you: yes, I did #12-1 in one go to get it over with. Ripping the bandage off, as it were. Can you blame me? Of course, that means more work for me, as 12 issues is quite a bit to recap as things are finally happening at a […]
