By Multiversity Staff | Sep 19, 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 […]

“Rasputin” #1 is as Cold as Ice, and Willing to Sacrifice [Advance Review]

By Sam LeBas | Sep 19, 2014 | Reviews

This book is frozen. I don’t mean in a “ballad on the mountaintop,” “winter wonderland” kind of way. Let’s face it, Olaf would never stand a chance in Siberia. No, this book is a kind of frozen that I have never before experienced. It is solid and cold in a way that only ice can […]

Pick of the Week: Frampton’s “Oddly Normal” is Darkly Wonderful [Review]

By Michelle White | Sep 18, 2014 | Reviews

All-ages stories have got to be one of the trickiest niches in comics. Done right, they’re all charm, something anyone can enjoy on some level or other. Done wrong, they’ve got the potential to disappoint that much broader an audience. This new ongoing from Image Comics is definitely in the first category; making the most […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 16, 2014 | Reviews

Before we begin, some disclosure. Hi, I’m Matthew Meylikhov. You may remember me from such websites as Multiversity Comics and Some Other Blog That Couldn’t Beat CBR at the Eisners. And, on occasion, I make comics — both in terms of writing and producing my own, or lettering books for friends. I do it mostly […]

“Pledged is Pledged”: An Early Look at Scott Snyder and Jock’s “Wytches” #1 [Review]

By David Harper | Sep 15, 2014 | Reviews

Image Comics has gotten into a weird place as a publisher. They’ve become so universally beloved that it sometimes feels that everyone that writes reviews for a comic site doesn’t want to be the one dissenting voice in the sea of acclaim, especially for their higher profile releases. Ulises Farinas wrote about this concept – […]

Faerber, Godlewski and Riley Take On the Space Western in “Copperhead” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Sep 12, 2014 | Reviews

This new ongoing from Image promises a lot, and looks fantastic. But maybe this reviewer’s been burned a few too many times by promising science-fiction first issues. Let’s work through this one together. Written by Jay Faerber Illustrated by Scott Godlewski Welcome to Copperhead, a grimy mining town on the edge of a backwater planet. […]

By Keith Dooley | Sep 12, 2014 | Reviews

Grant Morrison upends reality and expectations (naturally) in his new miniseries, “Annihilator,” and artist Frazer Irving has again proved himself adept at masterfully interpreting a Morrison script.

Ms. Bishop, Technically an Avenger or: The Long Goodbye – “Hawkeye” #20 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Sep 12, 2014 | Reviews

Raymond Chandler once said, “Ability is what you’re capable doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” On a Chandler scale, “Hawkeye” #20 flourishes with attitude. As we return to L.A to see the finale of Kate Bishop’s solo, super-awesome mission towards becoming a hero and better than Clint, we […]

“Prometheus: Fire and Stone” #1 Is Pretty Average, Still Has More Xenomorphs Than the Movie [Review]

Gravity Talks: “The Golf War” and “Sock Opera” [Review]

By James Johnston | Sep 11, 2014 | Reviews

Welcome to the first edition of our Chris-Hardwick themed Gravity Falls column, Gravity Talks. When planning this new column I figured we could do this bi-monthly and do two episodes per column, but I had forgotten about one of the few consistencies in “Gravity Falls”: its godawful scheduling. So from now on we’ll just do […]

The Unusual, Surreal Journey of F. Premise — Roman Muradov’s “(In a Sense) Lost and Found” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 11, 2014 | Reviews

“F. Premise awoke one morning from troubled dreams to find that her innocence had gone missing.” With this sentence we begin “(In a Sense) Lost and Found,” a surreal Kafka-esque journey of self discovery that at times feels more like visual poetry than sequential art. The first graphic novel effort of Roman Muradov (that goes […]
