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: Star Wars #8

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

With Han trying to sneak his way off of Coruscant, Luke having snuck his way onto an Imperial Star Destroyer and Leia trying to sneak out for some alone time, this issue of “Star Wars” is brought to you by Metal Gear Solid. Written by Brian WoodIllustrated by Ryan KellyLuke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles intentionally […]

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 […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 8/7/13

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. Written by Scott Lobdell Illustrated by Tyler Kirkham Superman battles the constructs of an immense alien civilization that has built a feudal system based on pure evil! Plus, in the backup […]

So lets just launch right into things and begin with Quantum and Woody #2 by James Asmus on writing […]

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. Written by J. Michael Straczynski Illustrated by Tom Mandrake WITNESS A MODERN HERO’S FALL FROM GRACE! The Cowl […]

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 […]

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 […]
