The Webcomics Weekly #31: Webcomics at the Break of Day (4/16/19 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 16, 2019 | Reviews

Welcome back, one and all, to The Webcomics Weekly! It is said that a person can only know themselves if they spend the time to evaluate their own thoughts and circumstances. This is, at its heart, what a memoir is and what the autobiographic genre seeks to do. This week, we have one such comic, […]

Ultimatum-Featured-Final

“Ultimatum”

By Kevin Gregory | Apr 15, 2019 | Reviews

You may be wondering why. Why take a look at this oft-reviled comic? Why resurrect the worst time period of the Ultimate Marvel experience? Why would you do this to me?! Well, it just so happens that “Ultimatum” turns 10 this year and nobody’s talking about it! Multiversity Comics also turns 10 this year so […]

By Alea Perez | Apr 15, 2019 | Reviews

Lucy Knisley continues her tradition of life stages and transition-centered storytelling in her sixth graphic memoir, “Kid Gloves: Nine Months of Careful Chaos.” In it, Knisley explores how the pop culture landscape that existed during her childhood in the late 1980s and early 1990s – a culture that seemed fascinated with pregnancy and babies – […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 04/10/19

By Multiversity Staff | Apr 15, 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 […]

“Go Go Power Rangers” #19

By Michael Govan | Apr 12, 2019 | Reviews

I fell in love with Power Rangers when I was little, just like any other kid. Unlike any other kid…I wasn’t actually allowed to watch it. ‘Too violent’, according to my parents. It was forbidden fruit for me. I remember playing with my Power Rangers In Space walkie-talkies, having no idea who the characters actually […]

Writer Joshua Dysart has proven that he has an adept understanding of Toyo Harada as a villain. Harada is an incredibly intelligent being of nearly limitless power.

“Age of Conan: Belit” #2

By Jaina Hill | Apr 11, 2019 | Reviews

The act of turning a series into a franchise makes me nervous, but “Belit” is a good comic. One way to look at it is proof that a wider shared universe of “Conan the Barbarian” stories is an idea with merit, but that is missing the point entirely. “Belit” does not succeed because the world […]

By Gustavo S Lodi | Apr 11, 2019 | Reviews

“Superman” #10 is a relevant issue when it comes to fully explaining the lost years that Jon Kent has lived away from his parents.

A god Somewhere

By Drew Bradley | Apr 9, 2019 | Reviews

In mid-2010, Wildstorm released the OGN “A god Somewhere”, a comic that struck a chord with me. I recently re-read it for the first time in nine years to see if it still resonated. Written by John Arcudi Penciled by Peter Snejbjerg After a mysterious disaster, a young man named Eric finds that he has […]

3D Sweeties cover

“3D Sweeties”

By Michelle White | Apr 9, 2019 | Reviews

Fantagraphics always puts out unique-looking books; that’s kind of their thing. But “3D Sweeties”, with its lowbrow sensibility, high-key colours, and smooth, Fisher Price-worthy shapes, feels more like a confection than a comic, and that makes its satirical tone all the more biting. Written and illustrated by Julian Glander In a digitally drawn, three-dimensional universe, […]

Feature: Hicotea

“Hicotea: A Nightlights Story”

By Mark Tweedale | Apr 8, 2019 | Reviews

Lorena Alvarez’s “Hicotea: A Nightlights Story” is a celebration of curiosity, imagination, and empathy. Where “Nightlights” was a nicely contained story, “Hicotea” opens up Sandy’s world so much, I already find myself longing for a third album. Written and Illustrated by Lorena Alvarez In this mesmerising follow-up to Nightlights, Lorena Alvarez explores our relationship with […]
