Written by Andrew Hope Illustrated by Shawn Crystal • The X-Men’s own International Super-Thief in his own MAX miniseries! • Sexy secret agents, weird weaponry, vintage champagne and […]

Review: Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 3, 2013 | Reviews

The mission statement of the ‘Marvel Knights’ line is difficult to define. Were they “more mature” comics? Were they in current continuity or not? Did it matter? The line itself hasn’t really been seen since 2010 and its impact has been difficult to measure in the ever-shifting focus of the continuity of mainstream comics. If […]

Pick of the Week: Lazarus #4

By Sam LeBas | Oct 3, 2013 | Reviews

My father is a butcher. I remember one cold morning, someone brought a whitetail buck that they’d killed to him so that the animal could be cut up. I watched as they strung it up from a tree on the top of hill near the old barn on our property. The knife carved the animal […]

The second week of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is here, and we’re here to see if builds on the debut or loses momentum.

The Life and Times of Walter White [Breaking Bad “Felina” Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 30, 2013 | Reviews

As a note, you probably shouldn’t read this if you haven’t a) watched Breaking Bad and/or b) watched “Felina.” We will discuss all spoilers. As “Felina” begins, Mr. Lambert finds himself breaking into a car to take him back to the ABQ. Inside the car is not much but a screwdriver, a set of keys […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 9/27/13

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 27, 2013 | 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 […]

Review: Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard Vol. 2 #3

By Sam LeBas | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The fables offered on the pages of “Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard” Volume 2 #3 remind us of the purpose of stories. Morals, action, adventure, and reflections of our own humanity come through loud and clear as we gaze into the distorted mirror that transforms mice into men. Written & Illustrated by David Petersen, […]

Review: Revival #14

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

For a while now, “Revival” has been the little comic that could. While it may not be garnering major praise like some other comics coming out of Image, it has quietly been telling a continuously solid story that has mixed horror with some genuinely poignant, human moments. Here, Tim Seeley and Mike Norton begin to […]

Review: Powerpuff Girls #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

Looks like Troy Little brought the Chemical X to IDW’s new “Powerpuff Girls” miniseries. It’s full of sugar and spice, which makes for an all-ages comic book experience that is pretty darn nice. Written and Illustrated by Troy Little Citizens of Townsville, fear not! The Powerpuff Girls are back! In this IDW debut issue Blossom, […]

Review: The Wake #4

By Michelle White | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The last time we checked in with “The Wake”, the proceedings were intriguing but mystifying. Dr. Archer was on board a top secret underwater ghost rig, researching a mysterious fishman with a screeching call and a tendency toward making everyone hallucinate. Since then, we’ve gotten a bit more exposition, with the most important reveal being […]

Review: Superman #23.4 – Parasite

By Zach Wilkerson | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

In “Superman #23.4,” it’s Aaron Kuder’s first time in the writer’s seat. Does his dynamic, expressive artistic style carry over, or is he dragged down into September’s villainous muck? Written and Illustrated by Aaron Kuder Parasite: Noun. An organism that lives in or on another organism. Preferably Superman. One good thing DC has going for […]

Review: Young Avengers #10

By James Johnston | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The Young Avengers take a backseat this month as Gillen and McKelvie pulls back the curtain on what’s truly going on around these parts. And the parts they expose ain’t pretty by a long shot. Read more for our full review! Minor spoilers ahead! Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Jamie McKelvie • It’s Mother’s […]

Review: Justice League #23.4 – Secret Society

By Matt Dodge | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The Crime Syndicate has left a path of destruction on their way to the main DC Universe, and “Secret Society” fills out more of their history in an interesting, and poorly named, issue. Written by Geoff Johns and Sterling Gates Illustrated by Szymon Kudranski An army of super villains has been built throughout The New […]

Review: Rat Queens #1

By Sam LeBas | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there were four lovely maidens. Each maiden possessed her own talents and charms, and each kicked ass a little bit more than the next. These kick-ass damsels came together to form a mercenary group, known far and wide as the Rat Queens. The Rat Queens rock-and-rolled […]

Review: The Trial Of The Punisher #1

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

Superhero comic books, especially those from the Big Two, have largely dealt with very black and white morality. You have your heroes and you have your villains and, most of the time, the hero punches the villain enough times that the day is saved. However, one of the characters that rather nicely subverts that idea […]

Review: Super! #1

By Michelle White | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

A silly riff on the superhero genre, with more than enough action and world-building to hold its own as an entertaining read, this Kickstarter’d effort from Unlikely Heroes Studios is fifty-two pages worth of fun. Written by Justin Piatt and Zack Dolan Illustrated by Zack Dolan In this fabulous fifty-two page first issue, you’ll thrown […]

Review: Batman/Superman #3.1 – Doomsday

By Matt Dodge | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

The monster that killed Superman gets some time in the Villains Month spotlight, unfortunately in a confusing issue which fails to address some serious continuity problems. Written by Greg Pak Illustrated by Brett Booth Long before Superman fought the unstoppable monster known as Doomsday, the beast’s reputation for death and destruction haunted The Man of […]

Review: Jupiter’s Legacy #3

By Zach Wilkerson | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

After a slow build in the previous two issues, Mark Millar and Frank Quitely kick down not just the door, but the entire house in the latest issue of “Jupiter’s Legacy.” Written by Mark Millar  Illustrated by Frank Quitely The heroes conspire to overthrow The Utopian, discontent rumbling in the bars and the clubs where […]

Review: Infinity Heist #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

Much like “Infinity Hunt”, the connection to the “Infinity” event book is tangential at best. Unlike “Infinity Hunt”, however, “Infinity Heist” manages to find room for both humor and a little more of a hook into the actual premise of the miniseries. Written by Frank Tieri Illustrated by Al Barrionuevo • As the Marvel U […]

Pick of the Week: Sex Criminals #1

By James Johnston | Sep 26, 2013 | Reviews

Somehow, Fraction and Zdarsky’s hilarious and touching (not that kind of touching) collaboration featuring a creative premise, beautiful artwork, and Nabokov quotes made Pick of the Week. Go figure. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Chip Zdarsky Suzie’s a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John… […]

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Blends the Super and the Mundane in Mixed Bag Debut [Review]

By David Harper | Sep 25, 2013 | Reviews

As the debut of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” approached, a thought crossed my mind: how stoked would a ten-year-old version of me be to watch a Marvel TV show? Combining superheroics, acronyms and witty repartee into one network television broadcast is pretty much all I could ever hope for from a TV show, and as […]
