Pick of the Week: Aaron and Dauterman are Gonna Leave You Wanting “Thor” [Review]

By James Johnston | Oct 2, 2014 | Reviews

After months of hype, the new Thor inherits the hammer from her predecessor. Sort of. Kind of. Okay, only a little bit really. Check out our review of “Thor” #1 below and be wary of some mild spoilers. Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated by Russell Dauterman • The great hammer MJOLNIR lies on the moon, […]

The Kids Aren’t Alright – Charles Burns’ New Classic, “Sugar Skull” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 1, 2014 | Reviews

I’ll say this upfront: it’s pretty difficult to talk about “Sugar Skull.” It’s not that the book is particularly isolating or unaccessible. It isn’t; in fact, I’d dare say it’s Burns’ most accessible work to date. It’s not that the book isn’t good, either. Wry and sardonic, “Sugar Skull” is an excellent and gripping read, […]

“Gotham Academy” #1 is A Comic That’s For Everybody [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 1, 2014 | Reviews

“Gotham Academy” #1 isn’t just DC’s most anticipated debut of 2014 for me (sorry “The Multiversity”!), it’s the start of a hugely important month for the publisher, with several major titles launching and one big book getting a new direction. So how does this book start the month out? Does it live up to the […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Heavy is the Head” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 1, 2014 | Reviews

After last week’s strong return for Agents of SHIELD, hopes are high that Season 2 will be the change we longed to see. But as the second episode airs, do we rise further up on hype train’s track, or are our hopes immediately dashed on the rocks? 1. RIP Hartley and Idaho Well, that was a lot of […]

Pope, Petty and Rubín’s “The Rise of Aurora West” and the Power of the Prequel [Review]

By David Harper | Sep 30, 2014 | Reviews

Following in the footsteps of a universally praised project like “Battling Boy” would be tough for anyone. That book – which won 2014’s Eisner Award for Best Comic for Teens as well as the praise of nearly anyone who read it – was the rare highly anticipated release from a preeminent creator that lived up […]

Five Thoughts on Gotham’s “Selina Kyle” [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Sep 30, 2014 | Reviews

The second episode of Gotham introduces new villains, escalates conflicts and proves that there is more going in this city than meets the eye. 1. Women and Children First. So, I Bechdel Tested this program, and it might narrowly pass? There is a long chase scene involving Selina Kyle and the female child snatcher, Patti. […]

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 26, 2014 | Reviews

Amel, Bennett and Fuso Craft An Engaging Espionage Tale in “Butterfly” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Sep 26, 2014 | Reviews

This new miniseries from Archaia promises espionage texture with a touch of moral ambiguity – and while it’s a bit early to get much of the latter, the texture is all there. Crafting something compelling out of well-worn materials, “Butterfly” is well worth a look. Written by Arash Amel, Marguerite Bennett Illustrated by Antonio Fuso […]

“Storm” #3 embraces the pillars of Storm’s past, and does its best to destroy them.

When is a Villain Not a Villain? We Find Out in “Loki: Agent of Asgard” #6 [Review]

By Stephenson Ardern-Sodje | Sep 26, 2014 | Reviews

Coming off the back of Marvel’s last big comic-book event “Original Sin”, and teeing up for yet another Marvel-verse shaking crossover with the ‘March to Axis’ issue #6 of “Loki: Agent of Asgard” has a lot to tie together in twenty-something pages. It could have been a filler issue or a joyless vehicle for exposition, […]

Obstinate unicorns, rude girls, disastrous fashion choices, and elegant equestrian competitions are all thrown into the mix as Ted Naifeh’s “Princess Ugg” reaches its halfway point. Meanwhile, there’s danger starting to brew just beyond the mountains, though who’s to say if that’s more or less terrifying than mean girls rules. Written and Illustrated by Ted […]

Welcome back to Gravity Talks, our review series for Gravity Falls with a release schedule that’s just as sporadic as the show.

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

Everything that has a beginning has an end, for it is only in a story’s end that it truly has meaning. It’s hard to say goodbye to the things we love, but it has to be done. Also, other clichés to establish that I’m really sad about this. Come join me as we bid a […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Shadows” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 24, 2014 | Reviews

SHIELD is back for its second season, and after finally turning around on the show by the end and then allowing myself to exhibit excitement while offering advice for the show’s future, I can honestly say that I am fairly pumped. I am ready, SHIELD! Lets do this! But will my optimism be rewarded or thrown back […]
