Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 8/6/14

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 8, 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 […]

The Rom-Comic You Never Knew You Were Waiting For, “Imperial” #1 [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

“Imperial” #1 is a valiant attempt at a rom-comic. This book tells the story of Mark McDonnell, an average Joe who is about to take the next big step in his life and marry the woman he loves. Somehow, Mark’s commitment issues manifest themselves as a superhero who is recruiting him to fill his position. […]

McGovern, Leandri and Regan Offer Stylish Horror in “Nightworld” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

Are there any Roger Corman fans in the house? I hope so, because they’ll understand what I mean when I say “Nightworld” is like a dream sequence from a Poe picture: elaborate sets, blowing curtains, a fog machine – and let’s not forget the deep, saturated colours. The first issue of this Image miniseries is […]

Otto Octavius plays Peter Parker in “Superior Spider-Man” #32 – ‘Back to the Multiverse’ [Review]

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

Fans the world over went into a collective fit of rage when Dan Slott had the gall — nay, the audacity to kill off Spider-Ock and replace him with puny Peter Parker. While the internet may never recover from the damage, the lead up to “Spider-Verse” attempts to right this travesty by deliver a secret […]

Friend, Foe, or Ex-Boyfriend? Looking at “Black Widow” #9 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

Left in inexperienced hands, crossovers fail. They overwhelm the reader with a feeling like they threw a party and everyone they knew actually showed up, but now they’re left wondering how the hell is this going to work? When it comes to crossovers Edmondson succeeds like a Victorian-era calling-card mastermind. His guests aren’t invites to please […]

Seeley, King and Janin Embrace the Weird and the Fun in “Grayson” #2 [Review]

By Keith Dooley | Aug 8, 2014 | Reviews

The “Grayson” team knows Dick. Writer Tim Seeley, co-plotter Tom King, artist Mikel Janin, and colorist Jeremy Cox continue to impress with the new status quo of the former Robin/Nightwing/Batman in “Grayson” #2. The spy life fits Mr. Dick Grayson quite nicely. Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janin Grayson digs […]

Justin Jordan & Kyle Strahm Create a World of Horror and Unease in “Spread” and it is Wonderful [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 7, 2014 | Reviews

Welcome back to world of “Spread”. Things aren’t, how you might say, going well for No. With a baby to take care of and a mass of flesh and teeth hunting him, you might begin to wonder how he’s meant to survive a whole series of this. Written by Justin Jordan Illustrated by Kyle Strahm […]

“Madame Frankenstein” #4 Continues to be a Worthy Rendition of a Re-Imagined Classic [Review]

By Jess Camacho | Aug 7, 2014 | Reviews

If there’s anything I like more in a comic, it is a story driven by pure character development; no super powers that just happen to fix everything or a mystical force that just shows up and erases things. “Madame Frankenstein” has done the former rather than the latter in every issue so far. This month’s […]

“Howtoons: (Re)Ignition” #1 Aims to Re-ignite Your Intellectual Curiosity [Review]

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 7, 2014 | Reviews

Like an episode of Mr. Wizard and an issue of Fraction and Allred’s “FF” rolled into one, “Howtoons” makes a triumphant return with a miniseries that mixes science and history with step-by-step projects and a strong plot to weave it all together. Read our spoiler-free review below for more on why “Howtoons” is a must-buy […]

The Final Battle Looms in “Usagi Yojimbo – Senso” #1 [Review]

By James Johnston | Aug 7, 2014 | Reviews

For the past 30 years, Stan Sakai’s “Usagi Yojimbo” has been one of the longest-running and most critically acclaimed creator-owned comics in memory. Now, with “Senso” #1, Sakai takes his characters twenty years into the future to face a threat the cast of anthropomorphic samurai have never seen before. Check out our review below, but […]

Pick of the Week: “Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers” Proves Itself as a Worthy Successor to its Legendary Creator [Review]

By Matt Dodge | Aug 7, 2014 | Reviews

In “Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers” #1, Joe Casey and the four person art team come together to reopen an exiting sci-fi universe that builds on the work of comic book icon Jack Kirby. Written by Joe Casey Illustrated by Nathan Fox, Jim Rugg and Ulises Farinas Joe Casey is one of the industry’s […]

“I Know You”: Michael Cho’s “Shoplifter” and the Art of Finding Yourself [Review]

By David Harper | Aug 6, 2014 | Reviews

Michael Cho‘s debut graphic novel, “Shoplifter“, is a bit more relatable for me than it likely is for others. That’s not to say it’s not wholly relatable to large portions of its potential audience, though. It’s about twenty-something English literature student turned ad copy writer Corinna Park, a young woman who struggles with feelings that […]

By Looking to the Future And Embracing the Past, “Trillium” Excels [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 5, 2014 | Reviews

“Torniamo all’antico e sarà un progresso” Composer Giuseppe Verdi wrote the above line in a letter to a friend 111 years before I was born – essentially, it translates to “let us return to the past; that will be progress.” It is a quote that has stuck with me over the past decade or so […]

Tonight’s “Gravity Falls” Double Season Premiere Delivers More Mysteries, More Adorable Sweaters [Review]

By James Johnston | Aug 4, 2014 | Reviews

Heads up — before we delve into this review of the season premiere of Gravity Falls, I’m going to get into some really mild spoilers. If you haven’t watched the first season of Gravity Falls then… what’s your damage, bruh? Also, even though the first episode premiered last Friday and tonight’s “Into the Bunker” has been […]

The Stars, Our Destination – Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 2, 2014 | Movies, Reviews

In terms of everything that Marvel has released as part of their Cinematic Universe, I think it’s fair to say that Guardians of the Galaxy is the most difficult to predict. A film starring characters that the general public wouldn’t have heard of even in passing, it’s pretty much the single biggest gamble Marvel has […]

Big Planet, Crushing Gravity, Vicious Creatures – Dark Horse’s “Deep Gravity” #1 [Review]

By Michelle White | Aug 1, 2014 | Reviews

If I’ve got a soft spot as a reviewer, it’s for science fiction comics – specifically, science fiction comics about space exploration and first contact. It’s just such a compelling formula, and while I’m a great admirer of books that play around with the formula (see: “Caliban”), those that don’t deviate at all can still […]

A Series Known For Twists Saves the Biggest For Last in “The Wake” #10 [Review]

By Matt Dodge | Aug 1, 2014 | Reviews

After traveling from the bottom of the ocean to the ships of the future, Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy bring their monster-mermaid miniseries to an unexpected close. As a note, some spoilers for the issue are discussed (a bit unavoidably, due to the final nature of the issue). Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Sean […]

Rucka and Dauterman Bring Emotion and Action as “Cyclops” #3 is a Pleasant Surprise [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 1, 2014 | Reviews

There’s trouble in paradise as reality catches up with Scott Summers’s idyllic roadtrip through the cosmos with his 80s rocker space pirate dad, as Greg Rucka and Russell Dauterman continue the most surprisingly fun title of the year. Written by Greg Rucka Illustrated by Russell Dauterman • Q: What’s the problem with stealing a Badoon […]

The Drama Escalates in the Latest Issue of ‘Mad Men with Capes,’ “C.O.W.L.” #3 [Review]

By Sam LeBas | Aug 1, 2014 | Reviews

The creative team behind “C.O.W.L.” has generated something that is as much a social commentary as it is a comic book. The drama crafted by Higgins and Siegel is compelling, hinging on interpersonal conflicts in a way that draws the historical context into sharp, relatable focus. The world comes to life through Reis’ astute depiction […]

Si Spencer and a Bevy of Artistic Talent Leave an Intriguing Trail in “Bodies” #1 [Review]

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 1, 2014 | Reviews

One writer, four artists, one colorist, two letterers, four time periods, and a “bunch” of bodies all adds up to one really fascinating exercise in comic book collaboration. Read our review below to find out why you should check out Vertigo Comics’ “Bodies.” Written by Si Spencer Illustrated by Meghan Hetrick, Dean Ormston, Tula Lotay, […]

Hawkeye #19, or How I Learned to Stop Hating Myself and Become the Hero [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Jul 31, 2014 | Reviews

Like the faithful Lucky forewarned, “Hawkeye” #19 returns us to the bloodied heels of the Barton brothers. This time, like most other times, Clint thinks he’s lost it all. Deafened from the previous battle with the hit-man, Clint is stuck under the care of his “clobbering” brother Barney in an apartment complex about to be stolen from his […]
