Five Thoughts on Gotham’s “The Spirit of the Goat” [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 28, 2014 | Reviews

In this episode of Gotham we learn more about Harvey Bullock, and the way he became the lackadaisical detective we’ve come to love. Meanwhile, Montoya gets the evidence she needs to take down Jim Gordon. Interpersonal drama and tensions between the city’s haves and have-nots continue to escalate against a backdrop of the hunt for […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Four Walls and a Roof” [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 27, 2014 | Reviews

Another week, another “The Walking Dead” game of Russian Roulette, with every sixth bullet being a ungodly monstrosity of an episode. Of course, that ratio used to be worse and the current ratio is way better, but you never really know when the show will regress to where it once was. Here’s hoping tonight’s episode, […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “Non Est Asylum” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Oct 25, 2014 | Reviews

After a long wait and after every comic book based TV show of the season bar one has aired, the first episode of NBC’s Constantine, titled “Non Est Asylum”, aired last night. Turns out, it was pretty good, even if I do say so myself. While it didn’t exactly have The Flash levels of out-the-gate […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 10/22/14

By Multiversity Staff | Oct 24, 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 […]

Tynion and Donovan Scare the Gif Out of Us in “Memetic” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Oct 24, 2014 | Reviews

We’ve all done it. When we had far more important things to do, we’ve instead scrolled through our social media platform of choice and giggled at pictures of animals layered with Impact font. (I’m partial to Bad Joke Eel myself.) But what if a meme were more than a fun distraction? Kicking off a three-part […]

“Oddly Normal” #2 by Otis Frampton Continues to Enchant [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Oct 24, 2014 | Reviews

This issue of “Oddly Normal” presents the moment in which the hero begins her journey. It’s Platform 9 3/4, the rabbit hole, somewhere over the rainbow, or second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning. There’s no going back now because there are lessons to be learned, quest to set off on and […]

Kicking It to the Street with “Street Angel” [Review]

By Matthew Garcia | Oct 23, 2014 | Reviews

“Street Angel” is pure, unadulterated punk. Originally published in 2004, Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca’s series is a loving send-up of kung-fu movies, Silver Age comics, street crime dramas, and coming-of-age stories. And now, for its tenth anniversary, AdHouse Books has released all of Jesse Sanchez’s old adventures in this fantastic hardcover collection, including the […]

By Cassandra Clarke | Oct 23, 2014 | Reviews

In the time of GamerGate, where female-gamers are fleeing their homes in fear of being violently attacked from wanting an equal voice in the gaming world, “In Real Life” debuts like a life-raft. To those of us girl-gamers who are on the brink of forgetting why they started to game or even care if they […]

“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 […]

Pick of the Week: A House Divided Still Stands In “Arkham Manor” #1 [Review]

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 […]
