“Last Pick” Volume 1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Oct 9, 2018 | Reviews

When alien visitors are depicted in popular culture they typically fall into one of two categories. They are either benevolent explorers or merciless invaders. In the case of the latter, the cruelty is usually an extension of an emotionless pragmatism. In other words, our planet is simply being pillaged for resources for the benefit of […]

“Amazing Spider-Man” #617 & #625

By Alice W. Castle | Oct 9, 2018 | Reviews

With the web-slinger making bigger waves on our screens, both larger and small, than he has ever done since 2002, I thought it was about high time I jumped back into where I left off when I last read “Amazing Spider-Man.” Little did I know I’d find one of the most powerful, heart wrenching Spider-Man […]

By Edward Haynes | Oct 8, 2018 | Reviews

Originally published in French as a series of zines, Max de Radiguès’ “Bastard” takes us on the run with May and her son, Eugene, from both police and criminals in a heart-warming tale of heists, murder, and family. Radiguès’ efficient line cuts to the heart of the familial relationships at the centre of “Bastard,” as […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 10/03/18

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 8, 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 […]

“What If? X-Men” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Oct 5, 2018 | Reviews

“What If? X-Men” is a fresh, exciting take on the X-Men.

“Sparrowhawk” #1

By Eric Goebelbecker | Oct 5, 2018 | Reviews

Wish fulfillment is a heck of a thing. One minute you’re looking into the mirror and dreaming of a better life. The next, you’re making Faustian bargains with a wolpertinger (think “fanged Jackalope”) on the other side of the mirror. This is the world Delilah S. Dawson brings to us in her return to comics. […]

“Tony Stark: Iron Man” #4

By Jaina Hill | Oct 5, 2018 | Reviews

Most of the time, a superhero is only as good as their villain. But the superhero genre is wide-encompassing, and a good ongoing series can get into all sorts of genre territory. Case in point- “Tony Stark: Iron Man” #4. Sure, there’s a “bad guy” in this story, but the issue mostly concerns itself with […]

Venom

By Tom Shapira | Oct 5, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

It’s a mostly spoiler-free review for a movie whose best qualities you could not spoil and whose worse you would rather forget. Right out of the gate: Venom is a bad movie. It is, also, a pretty fun viewing experience, assuming one arrives in the right mood. Like its protagonist the movie suffers from a […]

“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, […]

“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. […]

But, is there a story here? Is there anything beneath the pulsing surface? Written, illustrated and lettered by […]
