Moonstruck #4

“Moonstruck” #4

By Kate Kosturski | Dec 8, 2017 | Reviews

A missing magic butt, a collection of weird visions that make Miss Cleo and all those other late night psychics look tame by comparison, and that milestone of the First Relationship Spat. Sounds just like a normal day in Blython. Whatever normal means. Written by Grace Ellis Illustrated by Shae Beagle and Kate Leth Colored […]

“Barbarella” #1

By Rowan Grover | Dec 8, 2017 | Reviews

Barbarella is one of the more interesting cult comics of a bygone era. On one hand, it’s bat-shit crazy science fiction envisioned by French creative Jean Claude-Forest and, on the other, it’s got a lot of erotica overtones and potentially dated themes. So when a couple of firmly English-speaking folks come along to this property […]

“Klaus and the Crisis in Xmasville” #1

By Jaina Hill | Dec 8, 2017 | Reviews

Grant Morrison is a creator known for psychedelic insanity. That can be fun when taken to extremes, but when he’s given a more narrow focus, he does some of his best work. “We3,” “All-Star Superman,” “Animal Man,” and his legendary run on “Batman” are some of his best works, whereas stories like “Final Crisis” are […]

“Scales & Scoundrels” #4

By John Schaidler | Dec 7, 2017 | Reviews

After three stellar issues, things slow down considerably as the secondary characters dig deeper into their individual backstories in the unremarkable underground city of Sogbottom. (Warning, minor spoilers ahead.) Written by Sebastian Girner Illustrated and Colored by Galaad Lettered and Designed by Jeff Powell Dorma shines a light on what really motivates her journey into […]

“Justice League” #34

By Michael Mazzacane | Dec 7, 2017 | Reviews

After what is generally seen as a middling run on “Justice League” by Bryan Hitch and various artists, a rare misfire in the Rebirth era, the top tier team in the DCU is getting a creative relaunch from writer Christopher Priest and artist Pete Woods. There isn’t a renumber to mark this creative shift, but […]

“Paradiso” #1

“Paradiso” #1 drops you into a world without a compass and leaves you to wander the streets rather than hold your hand. Read on for our review of this Image Comics debut, which contains minor spoilers Written by Ram V Illustrated by Devmalya Pramanik Colored by Dearbhla Kelly & Alex Sollazzo Lettered by Aditya Bidikar […]

“Witchblade” #1

By Elias Rosner | Dec 7, 2017 | Reviews

Caitlin Kittredge returns to comics with the soft-reboot, sort-of-sequel to the long running series, “Witchblade.” This feels like right in her wheel house and, having read “Coffin Hill,” I was hopeful for her take on this series. I just wish she had learned a bit more from her previous foray into comics before structuring this […]

Mignolaversity: “Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon” #2

By Mark Tweedale | Dec 6, 2017 | Reviews

World War II had a huge impact on the Hellboy Universe, but the era’s remained largely unexplored for the most part. In “Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon” Chris Roberson, Mike Mignola, and Christopher Mitten pull back the curtain at last. Written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson Illustrated by Christopher Mitten Colored by Dave […]

“Sex Criminals” #1

By Edward Haynes | Dec 4, 2017 | Reviews

The opening captions of Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky’s “Sex Criminals” ask us not to judge as we see our leads, Jon and Suzie, having sex in a public bathroom. At the point of climax, pink, blue and purple swirls of light as time freezes, it would be beautiful if it wasn’t for Jon’s cumface […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 11/29/17

By Multiversity Staff | Dec 4, 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 […]

Aquaman Annual #1 Cover

“Aquaman Annual” #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 1, 2017 | Reviews

Dan Abnett has exclusively held the reins of “Aquaman” for the better part of two years, telling a sprawling tale of the rise and fall of the King of Atlantis. Abnett clearly has a strong vision for where he wants to take Arthur Curry as a character, but that vision is not what ends up […]

“DC New Talent Showcase 2017”

By Kate Kosturski | Dec 1, 2017 | Reviews

The DC New Talent Showcase returns for a second year, featuring writers and artists who came out of last year’s Talent Development Workshops. Last year’s effort, the first in a generation, was rather rocky in execution. Will this year’s effort be any better? Written, Illustrated, and Colored by Various Lettered by Dezi Sienty With seven […]

“War Mother” #4

By Rowan Grover | Dec 1, 2017 | Reviews

Valiant’s constant effort to keep their lineup of series new and innovative is one of the many refreshing things about the company. “War Mother” was an excellent spinoff character from previous crossover series “4001 AD” that has been exploring the aforementioned future setting and character. The start of the series has been of middling quality, […]

Writer and musician Max Bemis and artist Jacen Burrows are the latest set of creators up to bat on […]

“Sword of Ages” #1

By Elias Rosner | Nov 30, 2017 | Reviews

Take the Sword and Sorcery genre, mix in some Arthurian lore, add in a dash of Superman’s origin, a pinch of The Jungle Book, and shake it all up with a sci-fi adventure tale and you have Gabriel Rodriguez’s debut issue of “Sword of Ages.” It’s a wild ride but is it worth checking out? […]

“Motor Crush” #8

By John Schaidler | Nov 30, 2017 | Reviews

With a strong female lead and an intriguing premise, “Motor Crush” works best when it knows exactly where it’s going. Issue number eight hits a rough patch in the middle but recovers just in time to finish with a brilliant cliffhanger. Written by Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart and Babs Tarr Illustrated by Babs Tarr and […]
