In the words of the DC3Cast, Jean Grey is back baby and she’s good again! Following the events of “Phoenix Resurrection,” the adult Jean Grey is back from the dead after 13 years following the events of “Phoenix: Endsong” and is now in the hands of “Injustice” scribe Tom Taylor and artist Mahmud Asrar.

“Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles” #2

By John Schaidler | Feb 9, 2018 | Reviews

In a world where people and anthropomorphic cartoon animals seamlessly coexist, “Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles” continues its surprisingly poignant examination of a dark chapter in U.S. history that often feels eerily familiar. Written by Mark Russell Illustrated by Mike Feehan and Mark Morales Colored by Paul Mounts Lettered by Dave Sharpe As his […]

Swamp Thing Winter Special - Featured

“Swamp Thing Winter Special”

By Elias Rosner | Feb 9, 2018 | Reviews

Even though it has only been around a year and a half since Swamp Thing’s last major appearance, it feels like he has been missing for years. He left after going on grand missions and then returning to his roots as a monster of the swamp. How fitting, then, are the stories contained within this […]

“Walt Disney Showcase” #1

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 9, 2018 | Reviews

Who doesn’t love a little Disney magic in their lives? In addition to the cartoons, Disney’s famed anthropomorphic animals have had plenty of comic book adventures, particularly members of the Duck family. “Walt Disney Showcase” is a collection of some of the IDW staff’s favorites, and this month, they’re focusing on two Donald-centric stories from […]

Twisted Romance #1 featured

By Matt Sadowski | Feb 9, 2018 | Reviews

A heartless creature works to break up relationships in 70s New York, wendigos gore helpless victims, and an emotionally wounded woman watches a former lover wither. Any prospect of true love will drain away like a thirsty vampire bite to the carotid artery. Happy Valentine’s Day. As per usual, our review will contain spoilers. Written […]

“The Wicked + The Divine: 1923”

By Michael Mazzacane | Feb 9, 2018 | Reviews

The setup for this one shot is the 1923 Pantheon, in their final weeks, find themselves in an Agatha Christie And Then There Were None scenario. Talking about the plot of the book more than that would be unfair, and not all that interesting, but how this issue goes about doing all that is. The Christie […]

“Young Monsters in Love” #1

By Jaina Hill | Feb 8, 2018 | Reviews

It’s tough to be a monster in love, at any age. That’s my main take away from “Young Monsters in Love” #1. Whether teenage or immortal, monsters are doomed to the isolation of their own other-ness. In his Golden Globes acceptance speech, Guillermo del Toro called monsters the “patron saints of imperfection.” That’s the guiding […]

“Dejah Thoris” #1

By Rowan Grover | Feb 8, 2018 | Reviews

Dejah Thoris, the long time secondary damsel-in-distress character to John Carter, is back in the limelight and now centre stage of her own series from Dynamite Entertainment. With Amy Chu behind the writing wheel, will we be able to see the Queen of Mars in an empowering, well-written role? Or will this series succumb to […]

Vs 1 featured

“VS” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Feb 8, 2018 | Reviews

With “VS” #1, can Esad Ribic bring his style of epic artwork into the space of creator owned comics successfully? Not to spoil it, but the answer is a resounding yes. Read on for the rest of my thoughts about “VS” #1, though some actual spoilers follow. Written by Ivan Brandon Illustrated by Esad Ribic […]

Mech-Cadet-Yu-6-Featured

“Mech Cadet Yu” #6

By Gustavo S Lodi | Feb 8, 2018 | Reviews

“Mech Cadet Yu” #6 narrates how Yu and the other cadets try to escape a horde of baby Shargs from their own base in an issue that is a light, fast-paced story with a strong focus on action. But is that a good thing, meaning a fun read with compelling art, or does it translate […]

Superman 40 Featured

“Superman” #40

By Alexander Jones | Feb 8, 2018 | Reviews

After a couple expansive storylines and bombastic arcs, Superman’s traditional ongoing comic book is going back-to-basics and embarking on a more classic storyline with ‘Suicide Planet.’ Series regular artist Doug Mahnke is returning to the comic alongside veteran DC writer James Robinson. While only having some of the classic Rebirth “Superman” creative team is strange, […]

Witchblade #3 Featured

Pick of the Week: “Witchblade” #3

By Gregory Ellner | Feb 8, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

By limiting the attention to the underlying mythos and delving into classic mystical hunts tied to mundane cases, “Witchblade” #3 is finally starting to move out of its slower pacing. Written by Caitlin Kitteridge Illustrated by Roberta Ingranata Colored by Bryan Valenza Lettered by Troy Peteri “LIFE AFTER,” Part Three A missing-child case brings Alex […]

“Thor: God of Thunder” #12

By Justin Beeson | Feb 7, 2018 | Reviews

Jason Aaron’s Thor is now the longest run with a single character at Marvel besides Dan Slott’s Spider-Man. With Jane Foster’s chapter in that story seemingly coming to an end soon, it felt like a good time to revisit the issue that really started her whole arc and is one of my favorites of the […]

Mignolaversity: “Koshchei the Deathless” #2

By Mark Tweedale | Feb 7, 2018 | Reviews

While “Koshchei the Deathless” may present itself as a mere side story, one that could be skipped without any real impact on the overall Hellboy Universe, it is nonetheless unmissable. Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck have created something truly unique and an absolute joy to read. Written by Mike Mignola Illustrated by Ben Stenbeck Colored […]

Zegas Featured

“Zegas”

By Nick Couture | Feb 6, 2018 | Reviews

“Zegas,” published by Fantagraphics Books and written and illustrated by Michel Fiffe, collects material originally published from 2009-2012 by Copra Press.

The siblings live together. […]

Black Panther

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 6, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Black Panther is, on paper, one of the riskiest Marvel movies to date. Featuring no established star as a supporting cast member (Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Falcon in Ant-Man) and a character that the general film audience probably has limited experience with, it would be easy to set the bar low for Black Panther‘s […]

“Mushishi” Volume 1

By Nicholas Palmieri | Feb 5, 2018 | Reviews

Wandering through the countryside of Japan during an indeterminate period in the country’s past, the humble Ginko appears to help those experiencing troubles with mythical spirit creatures called mushi. Almost 20 years after it started, the first volume of this manga still retains its singular tone and provides a storytelling experience unlike any other, even […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 1/31/18

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 5, 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 […]

“Deathstroke Annual” #1

By Alexander Jones | Feb 2, 2018 | Reviews

After hitting one of his lowest points ever, Slade Wilson tried to rebuild his life by renouncing killing and creating a team of superheroes. However, Slade hasn’t been finding this transition easy or simple. “Deathstroke Annual” #1 shows how people can repeat patterns of behavior no matter how much they try and break the cycle. […]

“The Beautiful Death” #5
