“The New World” #2

By Jonathan O'Neal | Aug 31, 2018 | Reviews

The premier issue of “The New World” was a whirlwind of ideas and kaleidoscopic colors, presenting a unique future world not appearing in the usual dystopian playbook. I found it dazzling. Aleš Kot’s scripting and Tradd Moore’s clean artwork made for a future imagined by Stanley Kubrick and decorated by Willy Wonka. Most second issues […]

“Lex Luthor/Porky Pig Special” #1

By Jaina Hill | Aug 30, 2018 | Reviews

After “Batman/Elmer Fudd” became the best comic of 2017, there was no doubt that DC was going to mash-up more Looney Tunes and superhero characters. Few could have predicted that Porky Pig and Lex Luthor would be next on the list. On the surface, the two have little in common, but Mark Russell crafts a […]

By Alexander Jones | Aug 30, 2018 | Reviews

The first issue of “Scarlet” initially launched in 2010 under Marvel’s Icon imprint. The title was a creator-owned effort written by Brian Michael Bendis featuring art from Alex Maleev.

“Beyonders” #1

By Rowan Grover | Aug 30, 2018 | Reviews

The latest Aftershock title revolves heavily around the idea of the connected conspiracy theories of an ego-centric teen coming to life. But does Paul Jenkins and Wesley St. Claire’s pitch work, or is the one-eyed Welsh Corgi the only true draw of this comic? Written by Paul Jenkins Illustrated and colored by Wesley St. Claire […]

Pick of the Week: “Extermination” #2

By Gustavo S Lodi | Aug 30, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“Extermination” started very strong only two weeks ago, setting up the story that will, allegedly, return the original five X-Men to their point in the timeline. Strong character moments, surprising reveals, and beautiful art were the highlights then and, while those same aspects remain on this second entry, they do lose some of their impact […]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 29, 2018 | Reviews

As detailed last week, I’m going to close out my Clone Wars reviews with looking at the various bits of ephemera that trickled out from the ashes of the series’ cancellation. First up, “Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir,” a four issue miniseries that was originally published by Dark Horse but now, like all Star Wars […]

“Emanon”

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 28, 2018 | Reviews

Music and comics aren’t frequent bedfellows, but when they come together, it is often a satisfying experience. Lately, we’ve been seen more and more artists work with comic publishers to make companion pieces or adaptations of their works. Musicians like Gerard Way and Max Bemis have forged second careers out of their comics writing, whereas […]

“Illegal”

By Alea Perez | Aug 27, 2018 | Reviews

“Illegal”, a graphic novel best suited for middle graders and up, aims to remove the political and the “us” versus “them” mentality that is so prevalent in nationalist narratives and sets out to reintroduce the humanity of those less fortunate with whom we share the world.

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 27, 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 […]

“Mr. and Mrs. X” #2

By Jaina Hill | Aug 24, 2018 | Reviews

The fact that “Mr. and Mrs. X” works at all is something of a miracle. Then again, the “X-Men” line as a whole is consistently miraculous. It has the most bloated and complicated cast of characters this side of the Legion of Superheroes, and the most complicated history this side of Hawkman yet it somehow […]

The year: 1095. The place: Constantinople. The job: Break into the most heavily guarded library in Constantinople and steal four ancient texts unseen.

“Labyrinth Coronation” #6

By Robbie Pleasant | Aug 24, 2018 | Reviews

Whatever the reason, we’ve had several comics based off the works of Jim Henson as of late. “The Storyteller,” “Dark Crystal,” even “Fraggle Rock” comics are coming out, so of course “Labyrinth” has to join them. But rather than simply adapt the movie (which, let’s face it, would only work if it included a copy […]

“Black Hammer: Age of Doom” #4

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 23, 2018 | Reviews

Perhaps the most shocking thing about “Black Hammer: Age of Doom” #4 is that it delivers on what the solicit teases as writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dean Ormston reveal certain aspects that further and clarify the mystery of the Farm.
