“Transformers: Till All Are One Annual” #2

By Alexander Jones | Dec 21, 2017 | Reviews

When the title is at its peak, “Transformers: Till Are One” is a complex political minefield with an engaging cast of characters and background players. Will this final entry into the ongoing title be able to draw the comic to a close within the span of a single issue? To be fair, this annual closing […]

Pick of the Week: “Assassinistas” #1

By Elias Rosner | Dec 21, 2017 | Reviews

Assassins, missing children, and the soul-crushing nature of settling into a “normal,” unadventurous life? Sounds like a normal day in the life of Black Crown’s newest series, “Assassinistas.” Join me as I take a look at this strange yet familiar story and, be warned, you might just encounter some spoilers. Written by Tini Howard Illustrated […]

“Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind”

By Mark Tweedale | Dec 20, 2017 | Reviews

As you expect from a visual storyteller as masterful as Hayao Miyazaki, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind” is an incredible book, though I’d go one step further and say it is an essential one. Written and illustrated by Hayao Miyazaki Translated by David Lewis and Toren Smith (Vol. 1–4)and Matt Thorn (Vol. 5–7) […]

“Roots”

By Edward Haynes | Dec 18, 2017 | Reviews

With “Roots” Tara O’Connor plants seeds that sometimes branches into interesting places, exploring her journey across the whole island of Ireland as she searches for her familial roots and lays down new romantic roots that hopefully grows into something strong and beautiful as an oak. The problem with “Roots,” however is that none of these […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 12/13/17

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 18, 2017 | 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 […]

“Monstro Mechanica” #1

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Dec 15, 2017 | Reviews

If there were any historical figures I could go back in time and meet, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci would be among the top five choices. He was a painter, sculptor, anatomist, cartographer, engineer, and theoretical aviator. Among his lesser known designs was for a humanoid automaton: a robot, operated by pulleys and cables, […]

“Jughead: The Hunger” #2

By Elias Rosner | Dec 15, 2017 | Reviews

There is a hunger in Archie’s Madhouse; one that cannot be satiated by an endless supply of Pop’s burgers. But who has the hunger now? And what ramifications can come from giving in just a little bit. Minor spoilers ahead. Written by Frank Tieri Illustrated by Pat & Tim Kennedy and Joe Eisma Colored by […]

“Runaways” #4

By Jaina Hill | Dec 15, 2017 | Reviews

A great series with a great creative team should automatically be great, but comics don’t always work like that. That’s what makes them so interesting. Good writing, good characters, good artwork, they seem like the necessary ingredients to a perfect issue, and they are, but you need something else. It’s where the elements come together, […]

“Judas” #1

By Rowan Grover | Dec 15, 2017 | Reviews

Jeff Loveness is an emerging talent in the comic world, having moved over from big brother Television. So it’s clear he wants to rally some attention by writing a comic about the betrayer of Jesus Christ and quite clearly calling it “Judas.” It’s an age old story that’s been told many times, but in the […]

“Slots” #3

By John Schaidler | Dec 14, 2017 | Reviews

Time for Stanley’s big comeback as father and son share billing on the hottest fight card in town. Meanwhile, the series itself evolves into a true ensemble piece as members of the supporting cast jockey for position in creator Dan Panosian’s wonderfully realized Las Vegas. (Warning: minor spoliers ahead.) Written, Illustrated and Colored by Dan […]

Millennium The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest #1

“Millennium: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” #1

By Kate Kosturski | Dec 14, 2017 | Reviews

The pieces are moving into place for the final act in the Swedish crime trilogy. The minimalist take on writing was appreciated in the first two comic arcs, but proves weakness here as subplots, some of which have deep connections to the main narrative, are carelessly tossed aside or left out. (Warning: this review will […]

“Action Comics” #993

By Alexander Jones | Dec 14, 2017 | Reviews

During DC Rebirth’s earliest stages, “Action Comics” was always a polarizing title. The publisher set it up as if it was going to star Lex Luthor, but the book quickly shifted in focus to become the second Clark Kent ongoing in the DC Universe largely divorced from the “Superman” ongoing. In the wake of “Action […]

Mignolaversity: “Jenny Finn” #2

By Mark Tweedale | Dec 13, 2017 | Reviews

“Jenny Finn” #2 explores the horrific origins of the curse that has befallen London. And believe me it is horrific, though perhaps not in the way the authors intended. Written by Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey Illustrated by Troy Nixey Colored by Dave Stewart Lettered by Pat Brosseau London’s murderer has been executed… but they […]

I am not okay with this

“I am not okay with this”

By Forrest Sayrs | Dec 12, 2017 | Reviews

This is a bleak book. In some ways, there isn’t anything else to say about “I am not okay with this” because the bleakness is so pervasive and oppressive as to almost override every other artistic element. This atmosphere might be appropriate for this story that is fundamentally about the virtues of suicide, but the […]

“Shade the Changing Man” #4

By Elias Rosner | Dec 12, 2017 | Reviews

Since “Shade the Changing Girl” has been on hiatus since September and we’re now entering the holiday season, I thought that this would be a good time to look back on what is, arguably, Vertigo’s wackiest and most surreal series, “Shade the Changing Man.” Even though I have only read it in the last year, […]
