“I’ve Got This Curse in My Hands” – “The Wicked + The Divine” #5 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 23, 2014 | Reviews

“The Wicked + The Divine” #5 finishes the first arc of the series (soon to be known by followers as “The Faust Act”) with merciless flair. At the end of this issue, readers are left with a mixed feeling of awe and nausea. The pacing is quicker than ever, and the action sucker-punches the reader when […]

By Keith Dooley | Oct 23, 2014 | Reviews

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Corto Maltese” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 23, 2014 | Reviews

Perhaps with a fire lit under it by The Flash, Arrow goes full on DC Comics Easter egg hunting this week. 1. Wildcat! We all knew that Laurel was going to attempt to be a new Black Canary, so it only makes sense for Ted Grant to train her. This is the type of world-building […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “A Hen In The Wolfhouse” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 22, 2014 | Reviews

Last night’s episode of Agents of SHIELD may have just been the best episode of Agents of SHIELD we’ve ever had. Now that I’ve got the review bias out of the way, lets break things down a bit more. As a note, we will have to veer into some spoiler-y territory. Hopefully, though, you watched […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Things You Can’t Outrun” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 22, 2014 | Reviews

This week’s episode was yet another world-builder, but unlike the first two episodes, this one was focused on the particle accelerator incident, which continues to influence the show considerably. 1. “The Red Blur” I presume this is a winking nod to a prior CW superhero show, where we had a character who was known as […]

Five Thoughts on Gotham’s “Viper” [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 21, 2014 | Reviews

I think this was a very strong episode. There was so much happening, but all the threads converged into a spectacular story. The writing was clever and thoughtful, achieving a great deal of storytelling without seeming labored. 1. Sleeping with the Fishes Oh. My. God. Fish Mooney transcends femme fatale archetype in this episode. Instead […]

“Drifter” #1 and the Beauty of Dirty Science Fiction [Advance Review]

By David Harper | Oct 20, 2014 | Reviews

Science fiction as a genre is one that has grown increasingly well tread, as the influence of notable achievements like Star Wars, Alien and more bred a generation of storytellers with great interest in telling their own story of the sort. It’s been a popular genre in comics as well, and the most recent Image […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Strangers” [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 20, 2014 | Reviews

I had nothing but great things to say about last week’s premiere to the fifth season of The Walking Dead, but that makes sense. It was a premiere, and if the show does anything well, it’s premieres. The big question is whether or not it can keep the momentum going when the whole episode isn’t […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 10/15/14

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 17, 2014 | 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 […]

Remender and Craig explore circumstances that create a killer in “Deadly Class” #8. We are given a look back into Marcus’ past, through which we gain a more complete understanding of the character and his motivation.

Reilly, Rogers, and Weeks Re-write History with “Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla” #1 [Advance Review]

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 17, 2014 | Reviews

In my “Best of the Rest” Soliciting Multiversity column, I sold “Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla” as having the potential to be the ultimate in science bros team-up stories. Having actually read the first issue of the series, I can say with full confidence that it lays claim to even more charms than you’d expect. Read […]

Spidey Gets a Rock Em Sock Em Refit in “Edge of Spiderverse #5” [Review]

By Stephenson Ardern-Sodje | Oct 17, 2014 | Reviews

Gerard Way and Jake Wyatt team up to bring us the last in a series of other-worldly one-shots setting up for an inter-dimensional battle that could spell disaster for every Spider-Man, Woman, and Child we’ve ever known.

Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated Sandy Jarrell […]

The Wicked Need a Rest – “Sleepy Hollow” #1 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 16, 2014 | Reviews

It’s no easy job to create a comic based on a TV show, especially when it’s a four-issue compressed arc. To do so is to invite comparison not just between the content of what’s covered in plot or composition of the characters, but also between the pacing between film and comics. While the best sequential […]

Ellis and Lotay Create a Haunting, Dream-Like Look at Reality in “Supreme: Blue Rose #4” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Oct 16, 2014 | Reviews

It should be no surprise that Warren “Transmetropolitan” Ellis is still pushing the boundaries of comics in ways that no other writer is. With the incredibly talented Tula Lotay providing that artwork, “Supreme: Blue Rose” seems to be getting more obtuse and complicated with each issue as it comments not only on the nature of […]

Pick Of The Week: “Death of Wolverine” #4 is an Effective, if Uneven, End to the Character [Review]

By Matt Dodge | Oct 16, 2014 | Reviews

After months of buildup, the apparent end is here for everyone’s favorite tiny Canadian mutant, and it’s much more quiet and effective than expected. As a note, perhaps unavoidably, spoilers are discussed. Written by Charles Soule Illustrated by Steve McNiven IT’S THE BEGINNING OF THE END – 3 MONTHS TO DIE ENDS HERE! • The beginning […]

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

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 16, 2014 | Reviews

After last week’s shocking cliffhanger, this episode spends a lot of time unpacking that last minute, and seeing where the various threads of Sara’s death take the characters. 1. Jeff Lemire all up in this piece This episode featured Komodo, a villain who was created by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino and, as if that […]
