“Sovereign”

By Kyle Welch | Jun 4, 2019 | Reviews

I am terrible at reviews for many many many reasons. Ask our editors. My spelling is the worst. Grammar is almost a foreign concept to me. My anxiety riddled brain pumps out sentences which make perfect sense to me but any semi-sane person can not comprehend. I have also always struggled with the idea that […]

When I Arrived at the Caste Featured

“When I Arrived at the Castle”

By Tom Shapira | Jun 3, 2019 | Reviews

There is always a castle is these types of stories. It’s always big and imposing and, against all expectations, it always feels empty, understaffed and underserved. Emily Carroll’s new graphic novel is certainly built-up on this familiar gothic traditions — old haunts that are scary as they are seducing — but in execution and intention […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 05/29/19

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 3, 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 […]

“Punk Mambo” #2

By John Schaidler | May 31, 2019 | Reviews

It’s difficult to judge the aesthetics of “Punk Mambo” #2 from a purely objective standpoint. Potential issues of cultural appropriation, from the protagonist as well as the creators, continue to surface and shouldn’t be ignored. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.) Written by Cullen Bunn Illustrated by Adam Gorham Colored by José Villarubia Lettered by Dave […]

Stranger Things: SIX #1

“Stranger Things: Six” #1

By Christopher Egan | May 31, 2019 | Reviews

It’s 1978 and a psychic teenager known as Six is being held at the Hawkins Laboratory. Dr. Brenner and some of the other test subjects claim that life is better for her there than being out in the real world, but Six is beginning to have her doubts. Featuring all new characters and adventure, the […]

“Transformers” #6

By Michael Govan | May 31, 2019 | Reviews

For whatever reason, I could never really get into Transformers. I don’t understand why…in theory, alien robot warriors should be right up my alley. I’ve tried again and again. I sat through the first three Michael Bay films but only liked the first. I’ve started and stopped watching the original Transformers, Transformers:Animated and Transformers: Prime. […]

“Star Wars” #108

By Jaina Hill | May 31, 2019 | Reviews

Depending on your age and predisposition, you may have been a big fan of the original Marvel “Star Wars” comics which ran from 1977-1987. I was not born until the year after that series concluded, but I’ve picked up an issue here and there over the years. All of those stories are solidly considered “Legends” […]

“She Said Destroy” #1

By Christa Harader | May 30, 2019 | Reviews

“She Said Destroy” #1 tells a story of gods, faeries and humans caught in between with some nice visuals and storytelling stumbles. Warning: minor spoilers ahead. Written by Joe Corallo Illustrated by Liana Kangas Colored by Rebecca Nalty Lettered by Melanie Ujimori Over millennia, Brigid, Goddess of the Sun, has conquered and converted the entire […]

By Alexander Jones | May 30, 2019 | Reviews

BOOM! Studios are back with a sister title to complement the excellent “Buffy” ongoing series. The title is written by rising star Bryan Edward Hill who has been the mastermind behind acclaimed DC Comics like “American Carnage” and “Detective Comics.” Hill’s recent projects should delight readers looking for a writer who has a fresh voice […]

Pick of the Week: “Batman: Last Knight on Earth” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | May 30, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“Batman: Last Knight on Earth” is the nadir of the recent trend of psychological deconstruction of the dark knight, making the character’s damaged persona not only the seed of this prestige-format mini-series from the creative team that ushered in the Batman of DC’s New 52 era but also the driving force behind its apocalyptic narrative. […]

Mignolaversity: “Hellboy vs. Lobster Johnson: The Ring of Death”

By Mark Tweedale | May 29, 2019 | Reviews

This is one of the weirder “Hellboy” stories out there, but then as the final “Hellboy in Mexico” story, nothing else could be more appropriate. Written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson Illustrated by Mike Norton and Paul Grist Colored by Dave Stewart and Bill Crabtree Lettered by Clem Robins Two legends meet face to […]

“The Chair”

By Justin McGuire | May 28, 2019 | Reviews

“The Chair” is a dark and choppy comic about a man on death row. It’s exciting to read, and after reading its fiendishly tight ending, you’re practically invited you to flip back to page one and start again, looking for all the hints and subtext. Unfortunately depth isn’t this comic’s strong point, and the more […]

“In Christ There Is No East or West”

By Brian Salvatore | May 28, 2019 | Reviews

Is this book a trip through a panic attack? Is it a journey through the fearscape that is 2019 America? Is it both? Is it neither? Written and illustrated by Mike Taylor “Ok, here I go. Remember to steer into it — Don’t take your mind off it, get comfortable in your discomfort — Your […]

Lost Nightmare - Featured

The Webcomics Weekly #37: New York has Fallen, Long Live New York (5/28/19 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | May 28, 2019 | Reviews

It's a slightly smaller column this week, but we still have some reviews for you in the form of our continuing coverage of "Lost Nightmare" and "The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn," joined this week by "Magical Boy Basil," a plant based magical alternative, and "Hell, INC." which sounds like my brain every time I try to think about media monopolies.
