“Savage Sword of Conan” #1

By Alexander Jones | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

Despite his prominence as a hero, Conan has been out of commission at Marvel comics for decades. Conan’s return to The House of Ideas was heralded as a huge success for the publisher. Marvel was quick to capitalize on his return with an ongoing series from the biggest, best creative team they could assemble. Writer […]

“Age Of X-Man: NextGen” #1

By Michael Govan | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

I bought my very first comic book back in fifth grade, a Marvel Select ‘double-sized flip magazine’ from the 7-Eleven. On one side was Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s “Astonishing X-Men” #11. On the other was my favorite story of the two, “New X-Men: Academy X” #11 by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir. After that […]

“Star Wars: Age Of Republic – Count Dooku” #1

By Rowan Grover | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

Count Dooku, on paper, should have been one of the most memorable Star Wars villains. An honorable Jedi Master turned poisonous Sith diplomat, played by horror master Christopher Lee, sounds like a lethal combination. And yet, Dooku remains one of the least talked about Sith Lords. Marvel’s “Age Of Republic” one-shots have provided a perfect […]

“Rat Queens” #14

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 14, 2019 | Reviews

Things are getting intense and just a little bit personal in “Rat Queens,” with the characters stuck in one of their most horrifying spots yet. It always feels like a while between issues, but it’s easy to jump back in and get to the sword and sorcery action it brings us. Written by Kurtis J. […]

“Wonder Twins” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Feb 14, 2019 | Reviews

“Wonder Twins” manages to be, at the same time, a comic one can use to bring new readers to the medium, and a celebration of how comics influenced other media and feeds into its own loop. Great art, great characters, light, and yet relevant… this one is quite the surprise. Written by Mark Russell Illustrated […]

“Memorabilia”

By Matthew Garcia | Feb 12, 2019 | Reviews

Artists have always stolen. Since the beginning of time, creators and composers have taken and discarded from the people who have inspired them. Regardless of medium, throughout all creative intents. Only by taking in and studying the work of their predecessors, those giants of the field, will someone be able to effectively use their medium. […]

Alita: Battle Angel

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Feb 11, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

It’s been almost a decade since James Cameron revolutionized cinema with Avatar, demonstrating CG characters could lead a live-action feature film. Now, with Robert Rodriguez in the director’s seat, he seeks to top that achievement with a CG human character. But does this gamble pay off? Beware minor spoilers. Sadly, this is a failed experiment.

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 11, 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 […]

“Self/Made” #3

By John Schaidler | Feb 8, 2019 | Reviews

The dramatic action of “Self/Made” #3 positions the series well for the final books of the first arc, but a key question still looms: whose story is it? (Warning: contains minor spoilers.)

“Avengers” #14

By Jaina Hill | Feb 8, 2019 | Reviews

Jason Aaron’s “Avengers” was a little hard to get a read on at first, but now it is 100% certified Aaron-style insanity. Nothing could be better. Aaron’s blend of mad imaginatings, comic book craft, and soap opera storytelling are why we read superhero comics. There is so much happening in this issue, it’s almost overwhelming, […]

“Archie 1941” #5

By Michael Govan | Feb 8, 2019 | Reviews

In all stories, it’s imperative to stick the landing. A tale’s ending can make or break it. Some novels have fantastic twist endings. Some television shows have had crappy finales. People say it’s all about the journey…well, the destination’s pretty darn important too. “Archie 1941” #5 is the end of this mini-series. Does it stick […]

“Daredevil” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Feb 8, 2019 | Reviews

It’s a bit of a cliché to talk about how good “Daredevil” comics can be at this point. Frank Miller, Bendis and Maleev, Brubaker and Lark, Waid and Samnee. All of these stories are classics, all of them in different ways. But Matt Murdock, more than probably any other character, has been taken apart piece […]
