“Is This Guy For Real?”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 20, 2018 | Reviews

Box Brown loves professional wrestling. If you follow him on Twitter, or read his “Andre the Giant: Life and Legend” graphic novel, you know this. Andy Kaufman also loved professional wrestling, and so that is the portion of Kaufman’s life that Brown focuses most on in this new biographical graphic novel. If you’re looking for […]

Pizza Tree

“Pizza Tree”

By Kate Kosturski | Feb 19, 2018 | Reviews

It’s a recipe for horror with extra cheese and pepperoni as pizza night at the Poulton household takes a creepy (but delicious) turn. A father-son collaboration that will entertain everyone in the family . . . and maybe make them think twice about an extra stop at Chuck E Cheese or Pizza Hut. Written by […]

DC: The New Frontier - Featured

“DC: The New Frontier”

By Elias Rosner | Feb 19, 2018 | Reviews

With Rebirth now in full-swing, having not one but two big, delayed event books going on simultaneously, I thought I’d be fun to look back at a story that does more in six issues than a lot of events do in ten. Granted they’re oversized issues but my point still stands. So, without further ado, […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 2/14/18

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 19, 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 […]

“Marvel Knights: X-Men”

By Kyle Welch | Feb 16, 2018 | Reviews

In 1998 Marvel launched a new imprint known as Marvel Knights. Overseen by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, the line focused on underused characters at the time like “Black Panther,” “The Punisher,” “Daredevil,” and “The Inhumans.” While focusing on realistic and darker tones, the line also sought more independent talent to tell these stories. Creators […]

Kick-Ass 2018

“Kick-Ass” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Feb 16, 2018 | Reviews

“Kick-Ass” #1 marks the return of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. to one of their most recognizable concepts. This time around though, the titular character is not Dave Lizewski, but rather Patience Lee, an Afghanistan war vet returning to the US to find a less-than-ideal welcome party. Does the change on scenario, lead and […]

Thrawn-1-featured

“Star Wars: Thrawn” #1

By Jaina Hill | Feb 16, 2018 | Reviews

Grand Admiral Thrawn is the greatest villain in all of Star Wars. There I said it. From his first appearance, he has demonstrated why the Empire exists. Thrawn is ruthlessly pragmatic but never cruel. He makes you believe the galaxy might be a better place under his control. This origin story boldly brings Thrawn’s menace […]

Bloodshot Salvation #6 - Featured

“Bloodshot: Salvation” #6

By Elias Rosner | Feb 15, 2018 | Reviews

After a few issues away, Bloodshot finally returns to Magic after going on his ill-advised journey to Daddy’s home. Yuck, just writing that name makes me deeply uncomfortable. Thankfully, Lemire moves us beyond his trailer park of sadness and into some really cliched superhero moments that comment and riff upon themselves, making their placement significantly […]

Pick of the Week: “The Prince and the Dressmaker”

By John Schaidler | Feb 15, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

With bold, colorful illustrations and delightfully anachronistic dialogue, “The Prince and the Dressmaker” delivers an utterly charming postmodern fairytale about gender fluidity, love, self esteem, and acceptance.

“Jenny Finn” #4, the final issue of the miniseries, undergoes a transformation as Farel Dalrymple steps in as artist on the series.

Alone Featured

“Alone” / “Tout Seul”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 13, 2018 | Reviews

Alienation, loneliness, boredom – these are all traits that we’ve felt over the course of our lives. No one is ever the star player or the popular kid or the rock star all the time, so even though we know the highs, we are keenly aware of the lows. But what if you never had […]

“The Smell of Starving Boys”

By Peter Hoskin | Feb 13, 2018 | Reviews

Goshdarnit, it’s difficult to even think of – let alone create – a new type of Western. The genre has been around so long, and passed through so many hands in so many different media, that even subversions of its tropes now feel like tropes themselves. The revisionists have revised and revised to the point […]

“The Silence of Our Friends”

By Edward Haynes | Feb 12, 2018 | Reviews

In 1967 Houston, white and black families didn’t mix. Their worlds were completely separate. In 1967, writer Mark Long’s father, then a reporter for a local television station, made friends with a black activist while reporting on anti-racist student movements. “The Silence of Our Friends” is about crossing that racial line, and it’s about a […]
