“Dragon Age: Deception” #1

By Rowan Grover | Oct 19, 2018 | Reviews

Bioware’s Dragon Age video game series has had quite a following for some time, so much so that the series isn’t a stranger to the odd comic adaptation. The latest, “Deception,” explores a lighter side of the fantasy universe with a pair of con artists for protagonists. Is this what the franchise needs to succeed […]

By John Schaidler | Oct 18, 2018 | Reviews

With solid story structure and a diverse ensemble cast that the creators allow to be authentic, well rounded teens, “Low Road West” #2 hits its stride, becoming less predictable and more gratifying.

“Cemetery Beach” #2

By Christopher Egan | Oct 18, 2018 | Reviews

We start to get a clearer picture of exactly what kind of place this exo-planet is, how the last few generations have lived, and the secrets of the colony known as Maincastle. Mild spoilers ahead Written by Warren Ellis Illustrated & Colored by Jason Howard Lettered by Fonografiks As Mike and Grace try to escape the […]

“Lucifer” #1

By Alexander Jones | Oct 18, 2018 | Reviews

The Sandman Universe is a fascinating, expansive world. This week marks an important new debut for the line with “Lucifer” #1. With so much attention to the property that requires a really unique, niche tone, it is going to be difficult to get the series right. Does the new “Lucifer” #1 deliver on the promise […]

Pick of the Week: “Exorsisters” #1

By Gregory Ellner | Oct 18, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

If you’re somehow glad, and it all looks good, who you gonna call? When it come to infernal menaces, “Exorsisters” #1 shows you could do far worse than the Harrow twins’ mix of intelligence and humor to combat a surreal look at Hell. Written by Ian Boothby Illustrated by Gisèle Lagacé Colored by Pete Pantazis […]

“Fruit of Knowledge”

By Kate Kosturski | Oct 16, 2018 | Reviews

For all our advancements in society, talk of women’s bodies and women’s sexuality is still a highly politicized, highly taboo topic of discussion – – especially in the United States. Swedish feminist cartoonist Liv Strömquist uses humor and history to pull back the curtain on these topics in a way that will make you laugh, make […]

“Secret Warriors” #24

By Nicholas Palmieri | Oct 16, 2018 | Reviews

Jonathan Hickman, maybe more than any other current writer, has picked up a reputation for intricate, densely plotted, structurally complex stories. A recent read-through of his first long-form work, “Secret Warriors,” showed me all of that, but one issue in particular stuck out for being the shining example of why his approach to storytelling works. […]

“Costume Quest – Invasion of the Candy Snatchers”

By Gustavo S Lodi | Oct 15, 2018 | Reviews

Loosely based on the video game series of the same name, “Costume Quest” wisely avoids the tropes of a direct adaptation, rather relying on some common elements of the original media, but choosing to tell a separate story focused on the bonds of friendship, the dangers of bullying and how to persevere. With beautiful and […]

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

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 15, 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 […]

“Wonder Woman” #56

By Gregory Ellner | Oct 12, 2018 | Reviews

Borrowing “Wonder Woman” for the horror-centric October mini-crossover, a temporary change in the creative team leads the series momentarily in a different direction. Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Emanuela Lupacchino Colored by Romulo Fajardo Jr. Lettered by Dave Sharpe “The Witching Hour” part two!

“Infinite Dark” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Oct 12, 2018 | Reviews

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and the characters in Top Cow’s “Infinite Dark” feel anything other than fine. Readers well-versed in any one of a number of science fiction tales dealing with the cataclysmic fallout from humanity’s near extinction will find the first issue in this series full of the […]

Tales From Vader's Castle #2 - Featured

“Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader’s Castle” #2

By Elias Rosner | Oct 12, 2018 | Reviews

IDW’s all-ages Star Wars anthology book brings us another spooky tale from the galaxy far, far away, this time by Kelley Jones, who’s probably best known for his horror-tinged DC work. The question is, is Jones’ artwork up for the task? Or is it all spook, no substance? Written by Cavan Scott Illustrated by Derek […]

Avengers 9 Featured

“Avengers” #9

By Alexander Jones | Oct 12, 2018 | Reviews

In the past issue featuring artist David Marquez, “Avengers” was able to achieve a staggering level of quality the series has never evoked before. With Marquez still contributing to the interiors and with a huge anniversary issue on the way, will “Avengers” be able to keep up the momentum and solid level of quality going […]

“Weatherman” #5

By John Schaidler | Oct 12, 2018 | Reviews

Darkly comedic dialogue, consistently well rendered character designs and Dave Stuart’s wonderful colors all tend to feel a bit squandered in a book that’s losing focus as it comes to the end of the first major story arc. (Warning: contains minorspoilers.) Written by Jody LeHeup Illustrated by Nathan Fox Colored by Dave Stewart Lettered by Steve Wands Nathan Bright […]

“Exiles” #9

By Jaina Hill | Oct 12, 2018 | Reviews

I won’t bury the lede: “Exiles” is exactly the comic it should be. It’s immensely appealing to all sorts of readers. It features deep cuts that will thrill and delight comic book nerds everywhere, but it’s also an entirely self-contained story. It wastes no time concerning itself with the larger Marvel universe, and yet it […]

“Farmhand” #4

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Oct 11, 2018 | Reviews

With “Farmhand” #4, the view of the Jenkins family continues to expand, giving us an issue focused on Andrea, the ex-sergeant who is now helping her father run the body part farm.

“Hawkman” #5

By Gustavo S Lodi | Oct 11, 2018 | Reviews

Some series and characters require a certain passion from their respective creative teams. That is sometimes caused by characters that have been overused, or who have been away from the spotlight for too long, or even those, like Hawkman, that are perceived by readers as “too complex” or whose backstories are too “impenetrable.” This is […]

“Moth & Whisper” #2

By Michael Mazzacane | Oct 11, 2018 | Reviews

After a first issue that was pretty mythic and did a fair amount of table setting, the second issue of “Moth & Whisper” does a good job of focusing on who Niki is as they search for information on Mr. Wolfe. While there are some storytelling choices that don’t quite land, the fusion of plot […]

Pick of the Week: “Murder Falcon” #1

By Rowan Grover | Oct 11, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Daniel Warren Johnson became something of an Image Comics star with his 12-issue series “Extremity” last year, but he hasn’t stopped creating. On the surface, Johnson’s new series “Murder Falcon” may seem overly brash, it may seem silly, and it might look like the overconfident battle cry of an artist at the top of his […]
