“X-Men Black: Magneto” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Oct 5, 2018 | Reviews

There is an inherent rhythm and pace around issues focused on character studies. They are less about plot, action or overall development, but rather on what makes its lead tick, their core values and challenges. So when Magneto gets such an issue through “X-Men Black: Magneto,” certain styles are to be expected. Compounded to that, […]

“Batman/The Maxx: Arkham Dreams” #1

By Rowan Grover | Oct 4, 2018 | Reviews

Sam Kieth’s “The Maxx” was one of the more layered and interesting series to come out of 90s Image Comics. It was a great look at mental illness, psychological and existential issues, whilst maintaining a playful tone with Kieth’s art. Now, Kieth comes back for a crossover story with the reasonably straightly-played Batman. Question is, […]

“Wonder Woman And Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour” #1

By Alexander Jones | Oct 4, 2018 | Reviews

“Justice League Dark” is only three issues into a brand new run and is clearly trying to establish a series and a team of heroes. However, writer James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez Bueno’s run is already getting interrupted with a crossover. This crossover spans multiple titles and kicks off with a special issue. Will […]

“The Lone Ranger” #1

By Elias Rosner | Oct 4, 2018 | Reviews

The wild west, land of myths and a romanticization that birthed a genre that flooded early TV and the box office for decades. Now, one of the pulp stars of that era returns to comics in a series that is equal parts romanticization and interrogation of an era that shaped our country. Spoilers ahead, partner. […]

Pick of the Week: “Champions” #25

By Robbie Pleasant | Oct 4, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

The Champions take a little detour from the world of Marvel superheroes to a world of fantasy. With some of my favorite characters entering my favorite genre, an experienced writer behind the helm and an art team that knows just how to work with the style, it’s a fine choice for our Pick of the […]

“Roly Poly: Phanta’s Story”

By Tom Shapira | Oct 2, 2018 | Reviews

A daydream dayglow of a comic-book. A journey through one’s self that is also a journey through the new social media culture that is also a kickfest like no other. Beware – for here there be punches! But, is there a story here? Is there anything beneath the pulsing surface? Written, illustrated and lettered by […]

Multiversity Keeps It Real: “Dumb”

By Michelle White | Oct 1, 2018 | Reviews

“Dumb” from Fantagraphics is the story of a throat injury that consigns its author, Georgia Webber, to six months – at least! – of silence. And what seems at first like an inconvenience becomes a de facto disability, touching every aspect of her life. Written and illustrated by Georgia Webber Dumb’s protagonist Georgia lives the […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 09/26/18

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 1, 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” #0

By Kate Kosturski | Sep 28, 2018 | Reviews

In order to understand one’s present (and perhaps one’s future), it’s important to look to one’s past. On the precipice of the Jodie Whitaker era, the Doctor Who comics pause to look back at the stories and the people that brought us to this place and time in space. Written by Richard Dinnick Illustrated by […]

“Doomsday Clock” #7

By Gustavo S Lodi | Sep 28, 2018 | Reviews

“Doomsday Clock” is now after its halfway mark and this issue could not be more representative of that. While it still retains its core structure, that of the seminal “Watchmen” series, Johns and Frank seem to intentionally allow new elements in, almost as if a more traditional comic book narrative pervades the “Watchmen-style.” By doing […]

“Fearscape” #1

“Amazing Spider-Man” #6

By Jaina Hill | Sep 28, 2018 | Reviews

It always made sense that Nick Spencer would take on Spider-Man. After all, the most celebrated superhero comic of his career was about five B-list to Z-list Spidey villains living out their loser lives. Spencer’s first arc ‘Back to Basics’ showed a lot of promise but inexplicably focused on Peter Parker dealing with a not-clone. […]

“Stranger Things” #1

By Rowan Grover | Sep 27, 2018 | Reviews

The Duffer Brothers’ Stranger Things has been a juggernaut for the Netflix platform from the day it launched. Combining ’80s nostalgia with horror and intrigue, it was a perfectly timed show to resonate with a young and older audience. With these traits, the show seems like a perfect fit to adapt to the comics medium. […]

“Dredd: Final Judgement” #1

By Christopher Egan | Sep 27, 2018 | Reviews

For “Judge Dredd” fans, the 2012 film Dredd was exactly what they had been hoping for for many years. Unfortunately, the movie was a huge box office bomb, making back only a tiny fraction of its budget and the two planned sequels were never made. Since then, 2000 A.D. has graced us with a couple […]

“The Wicked and the Divine 1373”

By Elias Rosner | Sep 27, 2018 | Reviews

‘The Transubstantiation of Lucifer’ offers a focused look at a piece of a prior pantheon, seeped in Catholic guilt and all the baggage that comes with the era of the bubonic plague. It is not a light issue but when has WicDiv ever been light? Spoilers ahead. Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Ryan Kelly […]
