Wizard #56 – Amalgam Rises

By Drew Bradley | Jul 25, 2019 | Reviews

Multiversity’s retro-reviews of “Wizard: The Guide to Comics” rolls on. Let’s look back at the top news stories from April 1996 and judge them as harshly as we can! A Bold Move, Likely a Bad Move Every Fall, “Wizard” ran a contest where readers submitted pictures of themselves dressed as comic characters for Halloween. In […]

“History of the Marvel Universe” #1

By Michael Govan | Jul 25, 2019 | Reviews

When I was in fourth or fifth grade, my loving mother blew about forty-something bucks on The DC Comics Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the DC Universe for me. I loved that book more than anything, read every entry in the massive tome at least twice. Looking back, a lot of my […]

“Archie” #706

By Alexander Jones | Jul 25, 2019 | Reviews

After writer Mark Waid finished his run on the ongoing “Archie” comic book series, the new “Archie” scribe Nick Spencer introduced a whole new direction for Archie Andrews. Spencer brought lots of new plot developments for the series but little in the way of explanation. Over the past five issues, it has been hilarious to […]

Pick Of The Week: “House Of X” #1

By Rowan Grover | Jul 25, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

If you ask Marvel fans what some of the biggest stories of the last decade have been, chances are they’ve been written by Jonathan Hickman. The man isn’t afraid to move and shake the status quo in ways that are immensely satisfying to watch unfold. Hickman now stands to shake up the X-Men line with […]

BTTM-FDRS-Featured

“BTTM FDRS”

By Jonathan O'Neal | Jul 24, 2019 | Reviews

In his follow-up to the decorated “Upgrade Soul,” Ezra Claytan Daniels partners with Ben Passmore and Fantagraphics to present a deeply-thoughtful social commentary wrapped in a tale of urban terror. “BTTM FDRS” continues Daniels’s nascent yet increasingly formidable spin on Cronenbergian body horror, fusing the mounting dread of the best of EC and manga horror […]

Hick-F4M: The Loss (A Multiversity Summer Comics Binge Production)

By Kevin Gregory | Jul 24, 2019 | Reviews

A team – and a family – of adventurers, explorers, and imaginauts, the Fantastic Four lead lives both ordinary – and extraordinary! And today we have the heart-wrenching conclusion to the first phase of Jonathan Hickman’s run on “Fantastic Four.” Namely the end of the title. Today we’ll be cover “Fantastic Four” #579-588, the last […]

Bodies TPB Featured

“Bodies”

By Christa Harader | Jul 24, 2019 | Reviews

“Bodies” spanned 8 issues of mind-bending fun back in 2014 and 2015, and it’s high time we look back at such an ambitious work to see if it’s still successful a few years down the road. Written by Si Spencer Illustrated by Meghan Hetrick, Dean Ormston, Tula Lotay & Phil Winslade Colored by Lee Loughridge […]

Dead Drop #1 Cropped

“Dead Drop”

By Ramon Piña | Jul 24, 2019 | Reviews

One of the most overlooked books of the modern Valiant era is “Dead Drop”, it came out at a high point for the company; this (mainly) action-driven mini-series came out at the same time than “Book of Death”, which got all the reflectors. I remember some critics even regarding the first issue as inconsequential, something […]

By Zach Wilkerson | Jul 23, 2019 | Reviews

Ahoy, mateys! For this year’s Summer Comics Binge, I’ll be tackling a huge gap in my manga library; the gargantuan “One Piece,” written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. Over the next few weeks I’ll be journaling my way through the first 100 chapters, making up the East Blue Saga. This week we’re at our halfway […]

“Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden” – Volume 6

By Justin McGuire | Jul 23, 2019 | Reviews

Takiko has found five celestials, and spends this volume battling, separately, the fifth and sixth. That’s par for the course. What I’m interested in today is the translation. I can’t speak or read Japanese, so I have to rely on fan translations to compare and contrast, to understand what choices are made. Written and carefully […]

The Webcomics Weekly #45: Is a Discount Mad Max Miffed Mark? (7/23/19 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 23, 2019 | Reviews

I've been wracking my brain, trying to come up with a series of puns to introduce the comics this week, as Mike pulls double-duty to review both "Punderworld" and the sporty "Dorktown," but Kieron Gillen's Twitter I am not.

Countdown #51 Cover

“Countdown” #51-46

By Walt Richardson | Jul 22, 2019 | Reviews

The first few issues of “Countdown” were… underwhelming. However, I mean that in a slightly positive way, considering the less-than-stellar reputation the series has. In fact, there are some somewhat decent ideas here, the first of which has to do with the rebirth of the multiverse in “52” and Superboy Prime changing reality via his […]

“Hawking”

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Jul 22, 2019 | Reviews

After the success of their graphic novel “Feynman,” Jim Otaviani and Leland Myrick have turned their eyes onto a different physicist for their second graphic novel, “Hawking.” Following the life and career of the eponymous Stephen Hawking, “Hawking” tells the story of both Stephen’s life, and the history of cosmology, from his point of view.

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 07/17/19

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 22, 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 […]

“Moon Knight” #6

By Luke Cornelius | Jul 19, 2019 | Reviews

In recent years, Moon Knight has been a recurring character at Marvel Comics, with different iterations of the character being frequent but short-lived. The most recent run of the series, by Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows, ended last October and the title has yet to be relaunched. For the next 12 weeks, in this summer […]

Fairlady #4 (featured image)

“Fairlady” #4

By John Schaidler | Jul 19, 2019 | Reviews

“Fairlady” #4 is a good reminder that what a book is about and its central plot can often be two very different things. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.) Written by Brian Schirmer Illustrated by Claudia Balboni Colored by Marissa Louise Lettered by David Bowman A client in an oversized cat mask hires Jenner for a […]

“The Orville: New Beginnings” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jul 19, 2019 | Reviews

Full disclosure: I have never seen an episode of The Orville, but from the trailers I’ve seen it’s basically Star Trek as imagined by Seth McFarlane. I like Seth McFarlane, and I like Star Trek as much as the next person, so this should be fun. Mild spoilers for “The Orville: New Beginnings Part 1 […]
