Pick of the Week: “War Of The Realms: New Agents of Atlas” #1

By Michael Govan | May 9, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Ah yes, New York. Times Square. Jay-Z. The Yankees…and if you live in the Marvel universe, about a bajillion superheroes. I mean, why do the villains even stay in New York? I can buy that Namor achieves flight with those dinky ankle wings but the villains not fleeing to the Midwest en masse is beyond […]

“Star Trek: Countdown”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | May 7, 2019 | Reviews

Ten years ago, J.J. Abrams changed the Star Trek franchise forever with the 2009 film of the same name, which, thanks to its time-traveling antagonist Nero (Eric Bana), was both a reboot of the original ’60s TV series and a sequel to 2002’s Next Generation finale Star Trek Nemesis. With the film’s tenth anniversary and […]

“Pilu of the Woods”

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | May 7, 2019 | Reviews

There is a moment in everyone’s life, hopefully a moment that happens sooner rather than later, where one must to come to terms with their emotions. It is a process, learning to walk the line between embracing feelings without letting them take control. It is a struggle that, especially when you’re young, can feel almost […]

“Memories of a Book Thief”

By Tom Shapira | May 6, 2019 | Reviews

Daniel Bordin steals. Not just physical objects, though he partakes of these a-plenty (with bounded pages of all sorts being a favorite targets), but everything that can be taken – he steals words and poems and sometimes his own identity. He also wants to steal some fame, but would never admit it, which proves easier […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 05/01/19

By Multiversity Staff | May 6, 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 […]

“Savage Avengers” #1

By Jaina Hill | May 4, 2019 | Reviews

There’s a lot of sniffing in this comic. You gotta figure that any book with Wolverine is gonna have someone following their nose, but it turns out he’s not the only one. No less than three heroes use their olfactory abilities to save the day. When I try to remember what happened in this debut […]

“Beasts of Burden: The Presence of Others, Part One”

By Alexander Jones | May 4, 2019 | Reviews

Given the backstory and narrative surrounding “Beasts of Burden,” it is safe to keep as much distance as possible from the house pets. The canine investigators are partial to the supernatural and have a nasty habit of finding the occult wherever they go. I hope the human paranormal investigators the solicitation teases for the latest […]

“Fallen World” #1

By Christopher Egan | May 4, 2019 | Reviews

Picking up a year after the 4001 event, the dystopian future of “Fallen World” is more than just a simple reminder that decisions and consequences have a permanent effect on the universe of the Valiant comics.

An Ode to X-Men Origins: Wolverine

By Drew Bradley | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

An ode to Wolverine: Origins The movie was fourth in the franchise. The third hadn’t been that great. Reviews calling Origins “good” were lies. The final act didn’t pull its weight. The early scenes were the highlight. When young James found his claws of bone, and Sabertooth backed him in a fight. Those happy years […]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the Sibling Bond

By Eric Goebelbecker | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

“Because I’m the best at what I do, but what I do best isn’t very nice,” Logan says to Kayla Silverfox from behind the wheel of his ’65 El Camino. He’s explaining to her why Stryker wants him back. He’s also demonstrating one of the film’s flaws. Sometimes X-Men Origins: Wolverine is about a man’s […]

The Highs and Lows of X-Men Origins: Wolverine

By Matt Ligeti | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

Look, I’m not going to tell you X-Men Origins: Wolverine isn’t a flawed movie. We could spend all day discussing every issue we have, starting at the beginning, with the opening credits where the screen is paused on an actor with a credit that isn’t for them, and how that might be confusing for people. […]

The Hidden Import of X-Men Origins: Wolverine

By David Craig | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

It would be very easy, almost cruel, to pen a review kicking the proverbial out of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But honestly, what would any of us have to gain from that? There’s nothing negative to say about the movie that hasn’t already been said ad nauseam. The CGI. The Blob. Will.i.am. We get it, it’s […]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Speaks for Itself

By Matthew Ledger | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

Upon re-watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the first time since 2009 (when no, I did NOT pay full price to see it), I found that I … still had nothing considerably interesting to say about it. While I could complain about how absolutely “’90s comics” the movie is (everyone’s mutant power is that they’re X-TREMELY […]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine – A Movie Fans Thought They Wanted

By Christopher Egan | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

I never thought I would be sitting through this movie again. I barely re-watch the X-Men movies I like. But, I suppose, we all must suffer for our art. We all know it’s easy to bash this movie, so I’ve decided to try taking the high ground and point out things about it that work, […]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Taught Me That Movies Could Be Bad

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

Ten years ago, Multiversity was brought into existence to tell the world that X-Men Origins: Wolverine wasn’t really that awful. But now I’m here to tell you that not only does X-Men Origins: Wolverine suck, it was so awful that it completely change the way my teenage mind thought about movies. It altered my perception […]

Here is our helpful guide to help you drink to remember. Every time you hear ‘snkt,’ take a drink. Every time Canada is mentioned, take a drink. Every time a character snarls, take a drink. Every time something happens that directly contradicts something from a prior X-Men film, take a drink. Every time something happens […]

A Flashback Review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine

By Jonathan O'Neal | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

Editor’s note: This review was written in September of 2009. In Bryan Singer’s X-Men, the 2000 film that introduced the popular Marvel comic mutants to the silver screen, we meet Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a snowy Canadian roadhouse. He is blue jean legged, cowboy booted, and shirtless. He is leaning against chicken wire, and chomping […]

A Feeble Attempt at an X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

By Mark Tweedale | May 3, 2019 | Reviews

The year was 2009, a year full of memorable films like Coraline, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, District 9, Moon, and Where the Wild Things Are. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was not one of these films. In fact, when my editor asked to review this film, my reaction was somewhat Gandalfian. Hell, I even had […]
