Review: Green Lantern #23

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 8, 2013 | Reviews

Still playing in the sandbox built by Johns and company, Robert Venditti and Billy Tan continue to introduce small dynamic shifts to “Green Lantern,” with refreshing and enjoyable results. Written by Robert Venditti Illustrated by Billy Tan and Richard Friend Hal struggles with his new role as leader of the Green Lantern Corps while he […]

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. That question has been answered with “Trillium”, a frightfully inventive tale of two people brought together across time. Written and Illustrated by Jeff Lemire It’s the year 3797, and botanist Nika […]

Mignolaversity: Abe Sapien #5 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Aug 7, 2013 | Reviews

Arc #2 wraps, and before we get a month-long hiatus from the adventures of our favorite fish-man, let’s see how the Salton Sea adventure wraps up. Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Sebastian Fiumara After a half-eaten body washes ashore, a small cult suspects the hungry killer may be Abe, who flees […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 7/31/13

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 2, 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: Superman Annual #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 2, 2013 | Reviews

Resident DC Comics pinch-hitter and project juggler Scott Lobdell has been much maligned (by yours truly, among many others) for his ‘New 52’ work for a variety of reasons. “Superman Annual” #2 surprisingly decent – mostly because it’s a change of pace and relatively free from the sorts of things that have made his DC […]

Review: The Wake #3

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 2, 2013 | Reviews

Snyder and Murphy bring horror comics back to the forefront with this tale of a killer mermaid hunting down a team of scientists in a giant rig on the sea floor. Trust me, it’s a lot less silly than that sounds. Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Sean MurphyA new species has been discovered at […]

Review: Amala’s Blade #4

By Michelle White | Aug 2, 2013 | Reviews

It’s over! But I hope it isn’t, and that this series is expanded at some point, because it feels like Horton and Dialynas actually set out to hold some details back from us in this concluding issue. Don’t worry, things do get tied up fairly well, and there’s an entirely brutal mother-daughter swordfight in there […]

Review: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 2, 2013 | Reviews

“Flashpoint,” the last event of the pre-New 52 era, was met with mixed critical reception due to its poor pacing, under-developed story and absurd number of tie-ins. In Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, the latest in DC’s line of direct to home video animated features, the story originally laced down by Geoff Johns and Andy […]

Review: Ghost Town #2

By James Johnston | Aug 2, 2013 | Reviews

The terrorists have won. The United States lives under the fear of a group of anarchists who have the ability to send a bomb forward in time whenever they want. This has rendered most major cities “Ghost Towns” (see? Title!) It’s definitely a cool premise but does it make for a great comic? Read below […]

Review: Red Lanterns #22

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 2, 2013 | Reviews

Two issues in to Charles Soule and Alessandro Vitti’s run on the title, “Red Lanterns continues to exhibit many of the same problems that plagued it under Peter Milligan. At this point it bears the question, is this a problem with the creative team, or an inherent flaw in the property itself? Written by Charles […]

Review: Collider #1

By Michelle White | Aug 1, 2013 | Reviews

What can you do when the very physics of the universe are out of whack? It’s a premise with a lot of potential, but “Collider” doesn’t quite manage to get things moving. Written by Simon Oliver Illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez It started small: temporary gravity failures, time reversal loops, entropy reversals. With much fanfare a […]

Review: Batman Annual #2

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 1, 2013 | Reviews

The second annual of “Batman” promises a tie-in to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s ‘Zero Year’ storyline currently taking place in “Batman”. Yet, the story it delivers is both nothing like what it promises and much better than what it promised. Funny how things work out. Written by Marguerite Bennett & Scott SnyderIllustrated by Wes […]

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #5

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 1, 2013 | Reviews

It says something that Neil Gaiman’s name doesn’t make it anywhere near the cover or the other names of the creative team on this book. What it says, I won’t begin to speculate, but it does make the idea that this was once sold as “Neil and Brian’s arc” of “Guardians of the Galaxy” a […]

Review: Wolverine In the Flesh #1

By James Johnston | Aug 1, 2013 | Reviews

Did you know that reality star and celebrity chef Chris Consentino wrote a comic about him hanging out with Wolverine? Did you even know who he was? Don’t you feel emptier for knowing both those things? Hit the jump for our SPOILER-filled review. Spoiler-free version of a review for a comic you probably have no […]

Pick of the Week: Batman Incorporated #13

By Zach Wilkerson | Aug 1, 2013 | Reviews

After seven long years, we reach the conclusion of the final act of Grant Morrison’s definitive Bat-Saga. Alas, nothing gold can stay, all good things must past, etc. The question you’re likely asking, the one that brought you to read this review; “Did Morrison finish strong?,” like everything Morrison has written, requires complex examination. Even […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. Vampire #5 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Jul 31, 2013 | Reviews

The finale of this incredible miniseries is chilling, head scratching, and awe inspiring. Written by Mike Mignola, Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon Illustrated by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá After the bloody encounter in the woods, only Professor Bruttenholm himself can put an end to this vampire hunt and get to the bottom of the […]

Love and Claws: A Look at The Wolverine [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 30, 2013 | Reviews

Faithful readers of the site should know (we only talk about it every other day) that this site only began from the “need” to argue in favor of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It’s funny in retrospect — but it does offer up a unique opportunity when tackling discussion of the sequel. In fact, as I walked […]

Review: Hunger #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Jul 30, 2013 | Reviews

Shrouded in mystery when initially announced, “Hunger” remains unsure of itself in this debut issue. One part “Age of Ultron” aftermath, one part prelude to the next big Ultimate universe story (and possibly the end of said universe), “Hunger” is about as continuity driven as comics come. Nevertheless, Fialkov and Kirk deliver a first issue […]

Advance Review: Five Ghosts #5

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 29, 2013 | Reviews

Recently announced to be an ongoing series, “Five Ghosts” is the latest Image miniseries to be getting the “pilot goes to greenlight” treatment – a smart new way to give fledgling books a chance to go larger. If any books deserves this sort of treatment, it’s this one. With a rich mythology to play with, […]
