“Electric Warriors” #1

By Rowan Grover | Nov 15, 2018 | Reviews

DC Comics lore is rich with story potential within its vast narrative tapestry. Like any good superhero universe, it’s packed full of alternate futures, Earths, and other settings, so it seems strange that mainstream DC only focuses on a short amount of time and space. Enter “Electric Warriors” #1. Steve Orlando and Travel Foreman are […]

“The Long & Unlearned Life of Roland Gethers”

By Edward Haynes | Nov 13, 2018 | Reviews

Roland Gethers is insignificant. The last child of too many to count, even his name was an afterthought. His ambitions stifled by a serious lack of education, he coasts through a life in the mines and the army, fighting in the Boar War and First World War. His many kids, that he had with his […]

“My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies”

By Rodney Ortiz | Nov 13, 2018 | Reviews

“My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies” has been pitched as the first original graphic novel from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. While that statement is certainly true, relegating it as another story from a dynamic creative team is a disservice. This is a completely engrossing tale that must be read multiple times to fully comprehend […]

“I Am Young”

By Edward Haynes | Nov 12, 2018 | Reviews

“I Am Young” claims the title of M. Dean’s new collection of stories. “I Am Young” is a statement of fact; I am not old. It’s an insistence; I still have youth. It’s present; ‘am,’ not ‘was.’ It’s hypocritical; I am the oldest now that I have ever been. You’re only as old as you […]

By Multiversity Staff | Nov 12, 2018 | 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 […]

“Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor” #1

By Kate Kosturski | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

The newest Gallifreyian visage finally graces our comic pages.

“X-Men Red” #10

By Gustavo S Lodi | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

How does a war based on fear and the conception on constant threat can be won? How can a group, fear and hated by a world they are sworn to protect, can win a battle without showing massive amounts of destruction capacity? It is this question that lies at the core of “X-Men Red” #10 […]

“Border Town” #3

By Michael Govan | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

Devil’s Fork, Arizona is the hottest spot for tourists. Literally the hottest, but it’s a dry heat. Still not sold? A bevy of bigots proudly calls Devil’s Fork home. Still not interested? Did I mention the man-eating chupacabras and ghastly skeleton monsters? Wait! You didn’t even let me get around to the portal to hell… […]

“Spidergeddon” #3

By Jaina Hill | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

“Spider-Verse” was so novel and over-the-top, it seems unimaginable that anyone could ever top it. And try as it might, “Spidergeddon” doesn’t look likely to. With an almost identical premise, it ends up retreading a lot of the same ground as the first inter-dimensional crossover event. Fortunately, “Spider-Verse” was an insane cacophony of comic book […]

“Death Orb” #2

By Christa Harader | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

“Death Orb” #2 roars into life with Rider in chains, Father besieged by betrayal and a very large mech intent on beating its way into a desert bunker. Just another day in paradise!

“Auntie Agatha’s Home for Wayward Rabbits” #1

By John Schaidler | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

“The Wicked and The Divine: The Funnies” #1

By Elias Rosner | Nov 8, 2018 | Reviews

The ‘Transubstantiation of Lucifer’ was a dark dive into a period of European history that is characterized by death, sickness and the “WicDiv” universe’s own horrible patient zero. ‘Mothering Invention’ was a redefinition of everything we knew and answered the question, just how much more messed up can things get. How do Kieron, McKelvie, Wilson, […]

“Crowded” #4

By Michael Mazzacane | Nov 8, 2018 | Reviews

You would think after four issues the illustration team of Ro Stein and Ted Brandt would be tired of, or run out of ways to, capture that feeling of pained, put upon, emotions bubbling around in Vita Slatter’s core as Charlie Ellison does Charlie things. That isn’t the case as the creative team continues to […]

“Outer Darkness” #1

By Rowan Grover | Nov 8, 2018 | Reviews

From the creative minds of “Chew” co-creator John Layman and “Immortal Iron Fists” artist and character design extraordinaire Afu Chan comes “Outer Darkness.” The book attempts to push forwards into the hybrid genre of horror/sci-fi more than anything before, with crazy adventures and incomprehensible terrors. Does this debut live up to that promise? Written by […]

Pick of the Week: “The Green Lantern” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Nov 8, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

As the resident shaman of superhero storytelling, Grant Morrison likely needs no introduction for fans of the medium. His stewardship pf DC’s iconic characters have been hallmarked by a trippy zen-inspired pop psychology and a flair for bronze-age vérité crossed with silver-age ridiculousness, and he brings that trademark style to “The Green Lantern,” arriving on […]

“Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic”

By Christopher Egan | Nov 6, 2018 | Reviews

It has been twelve years since “Fun Home” was first printed and it still holds up as a beautifully funny and tragic tale of family, sexuality, death, and literature. The narrative bounces through important moments, some immediately labeled, others later realized as such, it is an ingenious cyclical story that needs to not only be […]
