“The Wild Storm” #22

By Alexander Jones | Apr 25, 2019 | Reviews

DC Comics sole remaining title in the new WildStorm Universe is coming to an end soon. We now have a better idea of writer Warren Ellis and artist Jon Davis-Hunt’s incarnation of the property than ever before. “The Wild Storm” is a daunting read for those unfamiliar with the cast members. Ellis quickly introduced warring […]

Avengers: Endgame

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 23, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

Before I begin, two quick notes: this review will be spoiler free and, at least at the premiere and my press screening, there were no mid/after credits scenes. Since the snap heard ’round the world hit a year ago tomorrow, people have been wondering how Marvel Studios was going to follow up Avengers: Infinity War. […]

“Run for It: Slaves Who Fought for Their Freedom”

By Justin McGuire | Apr 23, 2019 | Reviews

“Run For It” opens with a Bantu slave sitting angrily under a dark cloud with the title of the first story, “Kalunga.” The word refers to the the grandness of god, the sea, and death. It’s a good way to invite you into a comic about the centuries of Brazilian slavery, a dark topic that […]

Feature: Hellboy (David Harbour, live action)

Hellboy

By Jaina Hill | Apr 22, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

The 2019 Hellboy film is inexplicable. But we’re here to figure it out, so I’m going to do my best. It’s a reboot, disconnected from the cult classic films by Guillermo del Toro. This film is arriving in a world chock full of comic book adaptations, smack dab between a SHAZAM movie and the 22nd […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 04/17/19

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 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 […]

“War Of The Realms: Punisher” #1

By Michael Govan | Apr 19, 2019 | Reviews

Swarm, the Nazi made of bees. Hypno-Hustler in all his funkadelic glory. Yep, some strange customers for sure. You ask me, the Punisher has them […]

“TIE Fighter” #1

By Christopher Egan | Apr 19, 2019 | Reviews

As the current “Star Wars” comics begin to flesh out events set during and after The Empire Strikes Back, they are starting to take the time to give us a more in depth look at the Galactic Civil War from both sides. “TIE Fighter” #1 begins a five issue miniseries focusing on the human side […]

“Mary Shelley Monster Hunter” #1

By Matt Ligeti | Apr 19, 2019 | Reviews

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. There’s an obvious formula for historical horror fiction, and AfterShock Comics is here to cash in on the trend with “Mary Shelley: Monster Hunter.” The new title re-imagines Frankenstein as a work of non-fiction in a horror-filled period piece that […]

“Batman” #69

By Gustavo S Lodi | Apr 19, 2019 | Reviews

Calamity Kate #2 - Featured

“Calamity Kate” #2

By Elias Rosner | Apr 18, 2019 | Reviews

The bounty hunter genre has been having a bit of resurgence as of late. From “Motherlands” to “Doctor Aphra” to “Crowded,” you can’t shake a stick without coming across a variation on one of these narratives. Where does that leave “Calamity Kate?” The new kid on the block trying too hard? The well-polished successor to the genre? Or is it something that takes those notions and slashes it in half with a snarl, a scream, and well suppressed grief? If it were up to Kate, I’ve got a feeling it’d be the latter.

Justice League 22 Featured

“Justice League” #22

By Alexander Jones | Apr 18, 2019 | Reviews

Few comics contain the bombast and ambition of DC Comics current “Justice League” ongoing series. The most recent storyline in the series explores the fallout from DC event “Dark Nights: Metal” while mixing Superman villain Mister Mxyzptlk into the fray. “Justice League” #22 is steering the title into yet another different direction with another Legion […]

“James Bond 007” #6

By Jaina Hill | Apr 18, 2019 | Reviews

You could claim that James Bond is a franchise that doesn’t need to exist in 2019. It’d be hard to argue with that- does any franchise need to exist? But Bond is an especially outdated relic of the 1960s that seems obsessed with its own legacy. That’s what makes the alchemy of the new series […]

Pick Of The Week: “Xena: Warrior Princess” #1

By Rowan Grover | Apr 18, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

A cultural phenomenon in the late 90’s, Xena: Warrior Princess was one of the better (of very few options) female-led action series of its era. Flashforward twenty-odd years, and not only does she now have a few comic series already under her belt but now finally one with an all-woman creative team to boot! Can […]
