Vader Faces His Own Failures in “Darth Vader” #1 [Review]

By Jess Camacho | Feb 12, 2015 | Reviews

The baddest Sith of them all takes center stage in what is (apparently) is first ever ongoing comic series. “Darth Vader” #1 is not epic in the same sense that Aaron and Cassaday’s “Star Wars” is but more than makes up for that with deep characterization and sharp dialogue that gives the original trilogy a […]

Pick of the Week: The Birth of a Bastard Continues In “Southern Bastards” #7 [Review]

By Keith Dooley | Feb 12, 2015 | Reviews

Euless Boss wasn’t always a coldhearted bastard. He was simply a boy who was broken by Craw County, Alabama and endured unspeakable treatment from the hands of true bastards that led him to become the force of nature he is today. The rise of Euless Boss continues in “Southern Bastards” #7, with writer Jason Aaron […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Canaries” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 12, 2015 | Reviews

1. Speedy’s in the Fold Well, after three seasons of a major plot point being “if Thea finds out, she’ll hate me,” the show completely flipped the script and made her totally OK with her brother being a vigilante right under her nose. Is there some internal logic to her reaction? Sure, there is, but […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “The Nuclear Man” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 11, 2015 | Reviews

Wait, not that Nuclear Man. Tonight we got what has been teased all season: a more concrete origin/episode featuring Firestorm, aka Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein. The show has done a nice, slow build to this moment: the question is, does it stick the landing? 1. The Nuclear Man Himself We finally got a haircut […]

Four Thoughts on Agent Carter’s “A Sin to Err” [Review]

Last night on Agent Carter, literally everything that could go wrong goes wrong. Will our beloved heroine make it out alive? Find out next week on Agent Carter! In the meantime, here are five thoughts on last night’s rather tense episode. Spoilers follow. 1. The Doctor is In Last week introduced us to Doctor Ivchenko, […]

Scott McCloud’s “The Sculptor” Digs Into the Heart of Artists and Humanity [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 9, 2015 | Reviews

Sometimes, the weight of a previous work looms ominously throughout the experience of taking in a cartoonist’s latest work. That’s not a universal thing, and it’s entirely dependent on the person reading the work, but for some, it’s impossible to take in a book without contemplating the cartoonist’s past. A good example of that was […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “What Happened and What’s Going On” [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 9, 2015 | Reviews

With the last episode – the midseason finale – leaving viewers with mouths agape and the show in a point with no obvious future, the biggest question I have for the second half is this: what’s next? Andrew Lincoln has said that the show is going to go in a radically different direction (his words, […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “Angels And Ministers Of Grace” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 7, 2015 | Reviews

Looking back on last week’s episode, I wanted to feel like I was being too harsh on the episode. Largely because Jeremy Davies’ turn as Ritchie Simpson was a welcome return that brought a little bit of closure to the Newcastle Incident subplot that’s permeated the season so far. However, looking back, that welcome return […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 2/4/15

By Multiversity Staff | Feb 6, 2015 | 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 […]

“Ant-Man” #2 Tries Too Hard to Stand Out From the Crowd and Ends Up Following It Instead [Review]

With the ever looming presence of Ant-Man’s cinematic debut on the horizon, let’s dive back in to Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas’ aptly titled “Ant-Man” as Scott Lang settles into his new digs down in sunny Miami and his hunt for a real job begins anew. Is this series just a flash in the pan […]

Lots of Explaining and Little Action in “Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men Black Vortex: Alpha” #1 [Review]

By Jess Camacho | Feb 6, 2015 | Reviews

The Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men team up for what might just be the biggest threat either one of them has had to deal with. “Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men Black Vortex: Alpha” #1 is a fine event kickoff that cosmic Marvel fans will find enjoyable. Written by Sam Humphries Illustrated Ed […]

“Lady Death: Apocalypse” #1 is Terrible, Really Should Have Seen This Coming [Review]

By James Johnston | Feb 6, 2015 | Reviews

As a millennial, I missed a lot of the comics boom of the 90’s. It’s been hailed as a golden era by several comics enthusiasts, usually the men with a ponytail who breathe a little heavier whenever a woman walks into a comic book store. With the Kickstarter-powered return of “Lady Death: Apocalypse”, one of […]

Jorge Corona Leads Us Deeper Into The Maze with “Feathers” #2 [Review]

By Michelle White | Feb 6, 2015 | Reviews

This fantastical miniseries from Archaia started off solid, ushering us into the cluttered world of the Maze. It’s in this dangerous district that a feathered boy named Poe does his best to survive. Now he’s teamed up with rich-girl Bianca from the white-walled City; and she’s got some plans of her own. Written and illustrated […]

“Cluster” #1 Overperforms, but Still Underwhelms [Review]

By Stephenson Ardern-Sodje | Feb 5, 2015 | Reviews

Ed Brisson brings us a high concept sci-fi that wears its influences on its sleeve. But can “Cluster” step out of the shadows of its contemporaries enough to justify its existence? Written by Ed Brisson Illustrated by Damien Couceiro When a group of prisoners serving their time as soldiers become stranded and abandoned on a war-torn planet, they’ll […]

“Saga” #25 Continues Our Heroes’ Adventures From a Galaxy Far Away [Review]

By Keith Dooley | Feb 5, 2015 | Reviews

After too long of a hiatus, the intimate space epic that is “Saga” returns with the usual cast of characters and some hints of shockers yet to come. “Saga” #25, by the incomparable team of Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples, is another excellent chapter of a series that has remained consistently superb since issue […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Uprising” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 5, 2015 | Reviews

For a show that has paced itself extraordinarily well since about half-way through the first season, the second half of season three just hasn’t clicked yet. This week brings Oliver back to the foreground, so hopefully this is the episode that gets the show back on track, pacing wise. 1. Merlyn Ascending Malcolm Merlyn, in […]

“March: Book Two” Delivers Another Landmark Achievement Without Fear [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 4, 2015 | Reviews

In comics, there are many star creators from varying backgrounds and experiences. You have the pure comic creators like Dan Slott who – for the most part – stick to doing what they do in comics. Then you have others who become hyphenates thanks to expanding roles in Hollywood, like Mark Millar and Geoff Johns. […]
