Review: Halo: Initiation #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

The first “Halo” comic to come out of Dark Horse comes a little too late to capitalize on the Halo 4 hype. While the series covers an intriguing part of the series’ saga, it offers little for all but the most diehard fans. Written by Brian Reed Illustrated by Marco Castiello Halo—one of the largest […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #11

By James Johnston | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

It’d probably be pretty obvious and obnoxious to call “Thor: God of Thunder” godly. Too bad. It’s godly. Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated by Esad Ribic • The grand finale of the epic time-traveling saga of the God Butcher that began in issue #1. • After the dust clears, what gods will be left? With […]

Review: Lost Vegas #4

By Michelle White | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

We’ve had a lot to say about this miniseries so far, not least because – for a miniseries especially – “Lost Vegas” feels like a lot of comic. This ambitious but unevenly executed conclusion takes us home on the same tack, delivering a lot of information but hooking us in more with the visuals and […]

Review: Saga #13

Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples’ newly-crowned Eisner award winner, “Saga,” returns with all the beautiful subtlety and raw power that made reader’s fall in love in the first place.

Review: Suicide Squad #23

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

Over before it really even began, Ales Kot’s refreshing run on “Suicide Squad” goes much like it began. Unfortunately, while that unbridled, spastic energy is present, there’s little of the structure necessary to give it cohesion. Written by Ales Kot Illustrated by Rick Leonardi Suicide Squad is sent on a mission to take down a […]

Review: Resident Alien – The Suicide Blonde #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

Last year, “Resident Alien” came out of nowhere to be one of our favorite miniseries of the year. It was a small town mystery story that just happened to have an alien at the center of it. With “The Suicide Blonde”, Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse look to bring back the charm of the original […]

Pick of the Week: Infinity #1

By James Johnston | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

Since Marvel is launching roughly twenty crossovers this year, it might be hard to distinguish them from each other. Nope. “Infinity” is a crossover comic like no other and the single biggest comic Marvel has released all year. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Jim Cheung The oversized kickoff to the year’s most anticipated Blockbuster summer […]

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 9, 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: Ten Grand #4

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 9, 2013 | Reviews

While lacking in the way of forward plot progression, “Ten Grand” #4 earns its keep thanks to an engrossingly tragic sub-plot. Oh, and Ben Templesmith. Written by J. Michael Straczynski Illustrated by Ben Templesmith Joe Fitzgerald has been to heaven many times…or at least someplace that looks a lot like heaven if you didn’t know […]

Review: Moth City #4

By James Johnston | Aug 9, 2013 | Reviews

“Moth City” has been trailing new ground for the digital comics medium and issue four is no different. Read below for the full review. Written and Illustrated by Tim Gibson Confession time: twenty four hours ago, I hated digital comics. It hurt my eyes, print comics were just so much easier, and overall it didn’t […]

Review: The Manhattan Projects #13

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 9, 2013 | Reviews

The centre cannot hold as Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra bring “The Manhattan Projects” into it’s second year and show that things aren’t always as peaceful as they seem. But, sometimes, great comics are exactly what they seem. Written by Jonathan HickmanIllustrated by Nick Pitarra“PIECE BY PIECE”After a decade of working together to overcome everything […]

Review: Satellite Sam #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 9, 2013 | Reviews

With Howard Chaykin in tow, the ubiquitous Matt Fraction is writing a musky period book that’s like nothing else he’s ever written. Chaykin, always a great choice for drawing square-jawed men, beautiful dames, and seedy secrets, seems to be revitalized by it. There’s no two ways about it – “Satellite Sam” is two great pros […]

Review: Action Comics #23

By Matt Dodge | Aug 9, 2013 | Reviews

Superman faces off against alien invaders and saves the solar system in Action Comics #23, and it’s not nearly as exciting as it sounds.

Review: Sheltered #2

By Michelle White | Aug 8, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of “Sheltered” set up a believable pre-apocalyptic community – one where we didn’t learn much about the coming crisis, except that it was imminent, or thought to be, anyway. In this issue, the prevailing sense of unease is ramped up in a big way as a terrifying new order asserts itself. Written […]

Review: Sidekick #1

By James Johnston | Aug 8, 2013 | Reviews

JMS and Tom Mandrake’s story of a boy wonder gone woefully wrong starts here in “Sidekick” #1. Is it a great tale on its own, or another case of “Pow! Biff!” syndrome? Read on to find out.

Review: Robocop – The Last Stand #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 8, 2013 | Reviews

What if Frank Miller wrote “The Dark Robocop Returns” instead of his seminal Batman story? Well, if you’ve ever asked yourself that overly specific and oddly presumptive question, you finally will have your answer with “Robocop – The Last Stand.” Unfortunately, by the time you’re done reading it, you’ll probably wish he would have written […]

Pick Of The Week: Trillium #1

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 8, 2013 | Reviews

With the end of “Sweet Tooth”, the question of what Jeff Lemire would turn his attention to next, outside of his New 52 work.
