Mort Cinder featured

“Mort Cinder”

By Tom Shapira | Jan 7, 2019 | Reviews

Mort Cinder can die, it’s just that he never got the hang of the ‘staying dead’ part. His adventures throughout human history exploring the underside of whatever society he is born into, are brought to life by the stunning artwork of Alberto Breccia – which should, by rights, make him as revered in the English-speaking […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 01/02/19

By Multiversity Staff | Jan 7, 2019 | Reviews

There is 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 […]

Man Without Fear 1 featured

“Man Without Fear” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Jan 4, 2019 | Reviews

Taking place between the previous run and Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s upcoming run on “Daredevil,” “Man Without Fear” #1 is a miniseries that tries to keep readers updated on Matt Murdock’s current status quo, but without pushing the story forward too much. Is this issue able to do more than simple be a stop-gap […]

“Heroes in Crisis” #4

By Michael Govan | Jan 4, 2019 | Reviews

When the title was first announced, I had no doubt that I would love “Heroes in Crisis.” Not to knock his ongoing work, but Tom King seems to really shine when writing a limited series. “The Sheriff of Babylon” and “The Omega Men” were both met with critical acclaim. The 2017 Eisner Award for Best […]

“Archie 1941” #4

By John Schaidler | Jan 4, 2019 | Reviews

On the whole, Archie Comics are known for interesting and innovative line extensions and their fearless ability to reimagine their core characters. Unfortunately, “Archie 1941” has done little, if anything, to distinguish itself and break new ground. Issue #4 is just more of the same. (Warning: contains minor spoilers.) Written by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn […]

“Halo: Lone Wolf” #1

By Gregory Ellner | Jan 4, 2019 | Reviews

Slow and steady is the name of the game in the first issue of "Halo: Lone Wolf".

Uncanny-X-Men-8-featured

“Uncanny X-Men” #8

By Jaina Hill | Jan 4, 2019 | Reviews

At the core of “Uncanny X-Men” #8 is a question: does “X-Men” need to make a lick of sense? While the series has mostly (okay sometimes) followed it’s own internal logic, that logic can be tenuous at best. And UXM #8 has got it all. We’re talking a pocket dimension facsimile of an alternate timeline […]

Life gets intense for Barbara in the newest issue of “Batgirl” as emotions and political opinions fly. Some Spoilers Ahead.

“Detective Comics” #995

By Gustavo S Lodi | Jan 3, 2019 | Reviews

The team around Tomasi and Mahnke continue to march towards the big milestone by issue 1,000 by focusing on telling a detective story that may or may not have links to the Batman. With beautiful visuals, the story moves forward quickly, but it has still to prove its overall mission statement. Written by Peter Tomasi […]

“Crowded” #6

By Michael Mazzacane | Jan 3, 2019 | Reviews

Charlie and Vita’s misadventures through LA feel like they’ve been on the Running Man. With one issue left in the opening arc it’s time for them to run The Gauntlet.. Hopefully they survive the experience. Written by Christopher Sebela Penciled by Ro Stein Inked by Ted Brandt Colored by Triona Farrell Lettered by Cardinal Rae […]

Hex Wives #3 Featured

“Hex Wives” #3

By Christa Harader | Jan 3, 2019 | Reviews

"Hex Wives" #3 is an odd entry into what's otherwise been a strong series so far, with one too many plot notes to make for a truly cohesive issue.

Archie 701 Featured

“Archie” #701

By Alexander Jones | Jan 3, 2019 | Reviews

“Archie” #700 seemed like business-as-usual until the cliffhanger teased a brand new direction for the comic. The issue also marked a turning point in the creative team with author Nick Spencer taking over the title from Mark Waid. Artist Marguerite Sauvage is also contributing work to the interior art for the story. In the first […]

“Conan The Barbarian” #1

By Rowan Grover | Jan 3, 2019 | Reviews

The great icon of fearsome 1930’s pulp sword-and-sorcery, Conan of Cimmeria has returned to Marvel Comics after a long and fruitful run over at Dark Horse. Under the pen of master storyteller Jason Aaron and being brought to life by the hugely capable Mahmud Asrar and Matthew Wilson, the wily barbarian looks to be in […]

Pick of the Week: “Star Wars: Age of Republic – Obi-Wan Kenobi” #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Jan 3, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

There are so many Star Wars memes and jokes one could use to start this review, but those are too obvious. So instead, let’s skip them, start the new year with a small spoiler warning and take the high ground instead. … I meant “high road!” Written by Jody Houser Illustrated by Cory Smith and […]

Mignolaversity: “B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know” #12

By Mark Tweedale | Jan 2, 2019 | Reviews

In “B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know” #12, the work of artist Laurence Campbell, colorist Dave Stewart, and letterer Clem Robins truly shines.

Uncanny X-Men and the Teen Titans Featured

“The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans”

By Greg Matiasevich | Jan 1, 2019 | Reviews

This is a perfect superhero comic. I’ll grant you the distinct probability other single-issue superhero comics, either before this one’s release in August 1982 or afterwards, are as good. But nothing beats “Marvel and DC Present The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans” as a perfect optic blast (or starbolt) of story, character, creators, […]

“Fantastic Four” #5

By Jaina Hill | Dec 28, 2018 | Reviews

Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters get hitched (almost) without a hitch in "Fantastic Four" #5

“The Black Bull Of Norroway”

Feature: Hellboy and the BPRD: 1956 #2

Mignolaversity: “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1956” #2

By Mark Tweedale and Christopher Lewis | Dec 26, 2018 | Reviews

‘1956’ takes the plunge into the espionage of the occult cold war. Unlike previous “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.” stories, there isn’t any paranormal threat at play here (at least, not yet), which could be a risky gamble for a series about a paranormal investigation agency. Does it pay off? (Spoilers ahead.) Written by Mike Mignola […]

“McCay”

By Michelle White | Dec 24, 2018 | Reviews

“McCay”, published in English by Titan Comics, is a massive, gorgeous, fantastical tribute to the cartoonist himself – and I’ve got more adjectives if you need ’em. Written by Thierry Smolderen Illustrated by Jean-Philippe Bramanti Get ready for a dizzying dive into the ‘McCay dimension’ with this equally true and false tribute to the undisputed […]
