“Penguins”

By Tom Shapira | Nov 6, 2018 | Reviews

A collection of strips that offers playful reflection of human life through animals that are simultaneously funny and sad – people aspire to a lot but achieve very little. It’s a book that appears to be significant but, once one looks deeper, appear to miss its mark. Written, illustrated and lettered by Nick Thorburn Told […]

“Let Go”

By Michelle White | Nov 5, 2018 | Reviews

“Let Go”, a Kickstarter-launched comic from SLG Publishing, is a real diamond – a fast-paced nightmare of near-future technology that makes me paranoid about the predictive text that just popped up when I wrote that. Read on and you’ll see why. Written by Ted Kupper and Jon Perry Illustrated by Cecilia Latella Dan Terrell loses […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 10/31/18

By Multiversity Staff | Nov 5, 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 […]

“Ice Cream Man” #8

By Christa Harader | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

Over the past year, “Ice Cream Man” has been lauded to the skies by just about everyone, and for good reason. If you’re not reading this book yet, now’s a perfect time to start. We’ve got a few months to wait for the next issue, and #8 is a hair-raising conclusion to one of the […]

“Marvel Two-in-One” #11

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

With a new “Fantastic Four” book on the shelves, and only two issues left in the series, the question was what will become of “Marvel Two-in-One” now that the team is back together? The answer, luckily, is that it continues to be a character focused look at Marvel’s first family, two at a time. Be […]

“Green Lantern/Huckleberry Hound Special” #1

By Michael Govan | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

It isn’t hard to tell why Mark Russell was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Writer this year. He is a talented writer and his work on Hanna-Barbera properties for DC has been top-notch. His take on the Flintstones was fresh and classic all at once. He actually added depth to Snagglepuss of all […]

“West Coast Avengers” #3

By Jaina Hill | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

I want to make it official: Kelly Thompson is a treasure. She’s a superstar. Every book she touches transcends its component parts, and we don’t give her enough credit. Take her latest Marvel series “West Coast Avengers.” It’s a light and breezy superhero romp, but deeply, desperately readable. And underneath its surface it has real […]

“Wytches: Bad Egg Halloween Special”

By Kate Kosturski | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

After a long wait, the world of the Wytches returns, just in time for Halloween and to set up the second arc of the series. Was this one-shot worth the wait?

“Doom Patrol” #12

By Alexander Jones | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

After three years of comics pushing the boundaries of what DC is currently publishing, Young Animal is coming to an end with “Doom Patrol” #12. The ambitious title’s tenous shipping schedule is infamous with 12-issues dispersed across three years. Readers are at the point where the dense material in each chapter means they have forgotten […]

“Spider-Force” #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

“Spider-geddon” has begun, bringing us a sequel to the “Spider-Verse” event. With more Spider-folk to encounter, how will this story stand out from the other Spidey events? We have a new assortment of arachnid-based heroes to follow, so let’s check out how a Spider-Man version of X-Force goes. Keep in mind, there will be the […]

“Man-Eaters” #2

By Christopher Egan | Nov 1, 2018 | Reviews

It’s often been said that the best science fiction stories are filled with social commentary. It’s a way of wrapping a hard to swallow pill in a delicious narrative that’s easy to consume. This is somewhat true of “Man-Eaters,” but one of the best things about this series is that the aforementioned pill is front […]

“Heroes in Crisis” #2

By Gustavo S Lodi | Nov 1, 2018 | Reviews

A good murder mystery usually presents some core components to lure readers in and to keep them invested throughout the narrative. A complex, often impossible, situation. Suspects and suspicious events. An underlying theme, that seems to be just background noise and pervasiveness, until it raises its head as something more crucial. “Heroes in Crisis” #2 […]

“Sex Death Revolution” #1

By John Schaidler | Nov 1, 2018 | Reviews

Despite the book’s punk rock title, “Sex Death Revolution” #1 is ultimately pretty tame, but don’t let that scare you away. This double-sized debut issue is a decidedly different take on the art of black magic and the human toll it exacts on those who practice it. (Warning: contains minorspoilers.) Written by Magdalene Visaggio Illustrated by Becca […]

“Hex Wives” #1

By Rowan Grover | Nov 1, 2018 | Reviews

Vertigo’s latest initiative has managed to turn heads with the stellar release of “Border Town.” Now, the second of the new wave of titles, “Hex Wives,” has hit, and carries some big expectations raised by the former’s release. Can the suburban/witch horror series live up to its peers and rekindle that Vertigo magic? Written by […]

Humanistic in tone, though featuring entirely aliens, “Retrograde Orbit” takes us on a coming-of-age journey through the life of Flint, a Doman living on the planet Tisa, in a far off galaxy that is all at once familiar and distant. This is the story of her quest for home, for peace, and for creating a […]
