By Multiversity Staff | Feb 25, 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.

“Death Orb” #5

By Christa Harader | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

“Death Orb” #5 signals the end of the series, and the end of … everything? It’s never quite that simple, and for Rider and his crew, it’s definitely painful. Spoilers to come. Written by Ryan Ferrier Illustrated by Alejandro Aragón Colored by Chris O’Halloran Lettered by Ryan Ferrier The quest of the ax-swinging wasteland survivor […]

“The Amazing Nightcrawler” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

“The Amazing Nightcrawler,” as a limited series, aims to expand the new reality of ‘Age of X-Man’ by focusing on a beloved X-Men character and giving him the spotlight – in comic publishing and within the story itself – he deserves. However, as the creative team falls short on bringing truly innovative ideas and displays […]

“Stronghold” #1

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

“Stronghold” #1 is a new series coming from creators Phil Hester and Ryan Kelly.

Written by Phil Hester Illustrate by Ryan Kelly Colored by […]

“Guardians of the Galaxy” #2

By Jaina Hill | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

It is so exciting that “Guardians of the Galaxy” is back. It’s been almost ten years. Sure, in that time we’ve had two hit movies, a best-selling Bendis series, an ambitious run by Gerry Duggan, oodles of spin-offs, a high-profile scandal involving the director of those two hit movies, and a Guardians led crossover event. […]

“Urusei Yatsura” Vol. 1

By Elias Rosner | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

Previously published in English under the name “Lum” and “The Return of Lum,” Eisner Hall of Famer Rumiko Takahashi’s first work never quite gained the traction that her later series “Ranma ½” and “Inuyasha” would and was cancelled before ever seeing a full release. But now, 41 years after its debut, “Urusei Yatsura” is finally […]

“Love Romances” #1

By Michael Govan | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

This year marks Marvel Comics’s eightieth anniversary. That’s a mind blowing accomplishment when you really think about it. Eighty years. Marvel was founded the same year World War II started! For many people, the comic publisher has been present for their entire lifetime. The moon landing? Marvel was there. The Civil Rights Era? Marvel was […]

The Pervert Featured

“The Pervert”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Feb 21, 2019 | Reviews

“The Pervert” is a strange beast, in the best of ways. A disjointed pseudo-memoir collecting deeply personal stories, this book’s very existence rebels against conventions in much the same way its (mostly) unnamed protagonist lives. The only overarching narrative here is that these are pieces of a person’s life. The only theme is that going […]

“Naomi” #2

By John Schaidler | Feb 21, 2019 | Reviews

Launching an entirely new leading character is a team effort. Writer Brian Michael Bendis has surrounded himself with great collaborators for “Naomi” #2. (Warning: contains minor spoilers.)

“Anthem” #1

By Rowan Grover | Feb 21, 2019 | Reviews

Comics and video games have always shared an interesting relationship. From more successful adaptations like “Injustice” and some less interesting shots like “Mortal Kombat X”, it seems that creators struggle to capture what works in one medium and transfer it to another. Enter Anthem, a video game made by Bioware, notorious for games with spectacular […]

“Incursion” #1

By Alexander Jones | Feb 21, 2019 | Reviews

The biggest Valiant events have always been centered around The Eternal Warrior protecting The Geomancer and the publisher’s newest storyline, “Incursion” is no exception to the rule. The issue features a fantasy-based narrative centered around The Geomancer and her struggle to protect the Earth. The story features a script from comics veteran Andy Diggle and […]

Pick of the Week: “High Level” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Feb 21, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Vertigo’s new cyberpunk series “High Level” is the brainchild of longtime Nine Inch Nails art director Rob Sheridan, and its high concept premiere issue is full of ideas—some old, some new in the well-worn tradition of post-apocalyptic storytelling. In “High Level” #1 a new concept or character is seemingly introduced at each page turn, but […]

“Seven Places Without You”

By Michelle White | Feb 19, 2019 | Reviews

Originally published in Spanish, “Seven Places Without You” just came out in English from Europe Comics. Centring on a university student who’s grappling with loneliness, it’s an understated comic that squeezes a lot of meaning out of quiet moments. Written and illustrated by Juan Berrio Elena is losing Jorge, and she doesn’t know why. They’ve […]

“Captain Marvel” #2

By Jaina Hill | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

When most Marvel heroes have a new movie coming out, the comic makes sure to showcase the villains and supporting cast from the film. But Carol Danvers don’t play like that! In this issue she battles, and I quote: “Nuclear Man. Formerly Mahkizmo. Once upon a time a Fantastic Four villain, looks like a seven-foot […]

“Friendo” #4

By Gregory Ellner | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

Not unlike Marvel’s Mojoworld applied to real life (after a fashion), “Friendo” is an absurd, violent romp filled to the brim with pitch black comedy and vicious satire. Written by Alex Paknadel Illustrated by Martin Simmonds Colored by Dee Cunniffe Lettered by Taylor Esposito Thanks to an obscure piece of legislation, Jerry and Leo are […]

“The Magic Order” #6

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

With “The Magic Order” #6, Mark Millar and Oliver Coipel bring Netflix’s first comic book series to its conclusion.
