Ant-Man and the Wasp

By | Jul 6, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Are two insects better the one? Read this spoiler-free review to find out. I was not particularly expecting Ant-Man and the Wasp. The first film, from which this one inherits not only the cast (likable, but underutilized) but journeyman comedy director Peyton Reed as well, showed a lot potential but suffered from a particularly saggy […]

“The Highest House” #5

By | Jul 5, 2018 | Reviews

Mike Carey and Peter Gross’ grand fantasy miniseries continues towards its dramatic conclusion with issue five. A lot of the comic up until this point still felt like table setting, with a relatively slow pace for a six-issue mini. Will “The Highest House” finally start hurtling towards its end with the penultimate issue? Written by […]

The craziest college internship in the history of college internships comes to an end for Dominic, but he’s not the only one who’s learned something along the way. One of our Multiversity fan favorites wraps up with a dose of sentimentality, but not the sticky-sweet kind you’re used to in an Afterschool Special. Please note […]

Pick of the Week: “Catwoman” #1

By | Jul 5, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Catwoman is an old lady. Not the character in the comic, I mean in real life. Selina Kyle first appeared in the first issue of “Batman” in 1940. She’s endured for decades, in multiple series across media. That’s because there’s an ineffable quality, a versatility, that allows her to exist in trippy fantasy and grounded […]

How do you take as subject as grim as the trenches of World war I and translate it into the format of the weekly four-page adventure story without boring your readers to tears or making a mockery of the whole affair? You don’t, obviously. Unless you are Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun, in which case […]
