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]

The finale of this incredible miniseries is chilling, head scratching, and awe inspiring.

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, […]

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 26, 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: Monster on the Hill

By Sam LeBas | Jul 26, 2013 | Reviews

“Monster on the Hill” by Rob Harrell is a pleasing mixture of fairy tale magic and modern, surreal comedy. Harrell brings the flights of fantasy that populate this graphic novel back down to earth in relatable, laughable ways. Written and Illustrated by Rob Harrell In a fantastical 1860s England, every quiet little township is terrorized […]

Review: Young Avengers #8

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

Gillen and McKelvie take the Young Avengers on a trans-dimensional journey in pursuit of a metaphor dressed in the clothes of an old teammate. No, trust me, that’s actually what happens. And it’s awesome. Written by Kieron GillenIllustrated by Jamie McKelvie & Mike NortonThe Young Avengers desperately race across the multiverse. Nothing can stop their […]

Review: Wild Blue Yonder #2

By Michelle White | Jul 26, 2013 | Reviews

An irradiated Earth. High-flying action. A tragic whiskey shortage. Goggles. If you didn’t catch the first chapter of “Wild Blue Yonder”, that’s the sort of dystopian steampunk-influenced goodness you missed. And if that is the sort of thing you like, you will like this sort of thing. Written by Mike Raicht, Austin Harrison, Zach Howard […]

Review: Captain America #9

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 26, 2013 | Reviews

Rick Remender and John Romita Jr. bring the first arc to its emotional climax in a grand and old school fashion that long-time comic fans should appreciate. Written by Rick Remender Illustrated by John Romita Jr. With the only way back to Earth slowly closing forever, Captain America must make the hardest decision of his […]

Review: Gamma

By James Johnston | Jul 26, 2013 | Reviews

There are some books that when you’ve finished them, give you the assurance that the story is going to be one people will talk about, or start to talk about, very soon. “Gamma” is one of those books. Read more below the cut! Written by Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas Illustrated by Ulises Farinas Dusty […]

By Sam LeBas | Jul 25, 2013 | Reviews

Greg Pak and Jae Lee nudge us over the edge of the rabbit hole in this issue of “Batman Superman.” As we tumble ever deeper into the world of confusion, mystery, and beautiful storytelling hand in hand with two of the most iconic superheroes ever created, one thing becomes clear. When it comes to the […]

Review: Lazarus #2

By Alice W. Castle | Jul 25, 2013 | Reviews

We liked “Lazarus” #1. We really liked it. But a good #1 isn’t the hard part, the hard part is keeping that same quality going forward. Thankfully, this is Greg Rucka and Michael Lark we’re talking about and not only did they keep the same quality, but they got better. Written by Greg RuckaIllustrated by […]
