From within the crumbling remnants of a seceded Detroit, a quartet of mutant children attempts to stop an insurgent with psychic powers.

“The Last Siege” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Jun 1, 2018 | Reviews

“The Last Siege”, the most recent series to be launched by Image, offers a blend of narrative styles on its first issue as it introduces a new world and characters. And while not all elements come together perfectly out of the gate, this debut gets more things right than not. Written by Landry Q. Walker […]

“Vampironica” #2

By John Schaidler | Jun 1, 2018 | Reviews

Some of the other, more well known Archie properties may be the main course, but the horror-themed spinoffs are a just dessert, allowing readers to explore often hidden facets of characters we thought we knew so well. In “Vampironica” #2, for example, we learn that Veronica Lodge can be – gasp – likable. (Warning: minor […]

“Vagrant Queen” #1

By Rowan Grover | Jun 1, 2018 | Reviews

Vault Comics continue to lengthen their pantheon of stories with the rough edged space opera that is “Vagrant Space.” Magdelene Visaggio, Jason Smith, Harry Saxon, and Zakk Saam present a princess in exile, with an interesting premise as to her attitude to make us want to check it out. The question is, can the creative […]

“Batman Prelude To The Wedding — Robin vs Ra’s Al Ghul” #1

By Alexander Jones | May 31, 2018 | Reviews

DC Comics latest status quo shift involving Batman includes a wedding with Catwoman. With the gears already in place for the said wedding, DC is currently capitalizing on the trend with a series of loosely related one-shots all written by Tim Seeley. While one-shots such as these have a track record varying in quality, the […]

“Valiant High” #1

By Jaina Hill | May 31, 2018 | Reviews

For the right fan in the right mood, “Valiant High” #1 is simply perfect. It takes the Tumblr-friendly fanfic concept of the high school alternate universe and elevates it to actual greatness. Because while also being light and funny, “Valiant High” is a wonderful introduction to the dynamics of the world of Valiant Comics. Written […]

“The Man of Steel” #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 31, 2018 | Reviews

There has been a lot of talk about the impact of Brian Michael Bendis joining DC Comics. On the surface, it is one of the bigger defections in recent comics history, but that doesn’t amount to much if the comics themselves aren’t very good. But now that conversation can change, because we have the first […]

Pick of the Week: “Blackwood” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | May 31, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Before dismissing Dark Horse’s “Blackwood” as another series about young students in a twisted school with a nontraditional curriculum, readers should know that this new horror miniseries has more than enough merits to make it our Pick of the Week. Written by Evan Dorkin Illustrated by Veronica Fish Laid Out and Lettered by Andy Fish […]

“All The Answers”

By Brian Salvatore | May 29, 2018 | Reviews

Life is full of relationships that are supposed to be one way, but never quite live up to the stereotype. For Michael Kupperman, his relationship with his father was strained, frustrating, and mysterious. Kupperman attributes some of that to his father’s childhood, where he was a radio and television star as part of Quiz Kids, […]

“Truth: Red, White & Black”

By Nicholas Palmieri | May 28, 2018 | Reviews

The American image of World War II tends to exemplify black-and-white morality. That’s no more apparent than on the cover to 1941’s “Captain America Comics” #1, on which Cap, decked out in the stars and stripes, punches Hitler in the face. It’s as clear and obvious as can be: Nazis bad, America good. But in […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 5/23/18

By Multiversity Staff | May 28, 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 […]

“Champions” #20

By Jaina Hill | May 25, 2018 | Reviews

I love stories about superheroes solving problems with superpowers. You’d think you’d see a lot of that in comics, but thanks to the influence of modern writers like Bendis and Johns, a lot more masks and capes books are about super-folk sitting around and eating and talking. There’s a time and a place for that, […]

“Elsewhere” #7

By John Schaidler | May 25, 2018 | Reviews

“Elsewhere” #7 ends with a compelling cliffhanger that seems to signal a whole new array of narrative possibilities. Potential plot twists aside, however, Sumeyye Kasgin’s art and Ron Riley’s colors continue to be the big draw in this consistently solid all ages adventure. (Warning: minor spoilers ahead.) Written by Jay Faerber Illustrated by Sumeyye Kasgin […]

With its Fresh Start initiative, Marvel is relaunching Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “Black Panther” series with a new #1.

“Black Hammer: Age of Doom” #2

By Michael Mazzacane | May 24, 2018 | Reviews

“Black Hammer” has many insightful things to say about existence, the superhero, etc. but it’s most important statement might be on the nature of zombie-like creatures and necrophilia.

“Dark Souls: The Age Of Fire” #1

By Rowan Grover | May 24, 2018 | Reviews

Dark Souls. A game infamous for its cult following and immense, almost arcane, wealth of lore behind it. There have been a few attempts at translating the source material into a comic before, some with more success than others, but now Ryan O’Sullivan, Anton Kokarev, and Simon Bowland set out to map the age just […]

“The Terrifics” #4

By Alexander Jones | May 24, 2018 | Reviews

A couple of issues in, “The Terrifics” is starting to lose focus. The first two entries elegantly produced a story pairing each member of the team together going on a mission but the last done-in-one installment was a troubling detour in a title that should be aiming towards the next big adventure. Hopefully, the comic […]

“The Flash” #47

By Gustavo S Lodi | May 24, 2018 | Reviews

There have been many “heroes versus heroes” storylines from publishers over the last couple of years. While it is surely entertaining to see fan-favorite heroes going at it, those events can come up short if the motivations behind these differences are too contrived or not meaningful enough. With that in mind, it is certainly a […]
