Review: Satellite Sam #1

By Sam LeBas | Jul 4, 2013 | Reviews

Fraction and Chaykin take every opportunity to defy convention and expectation in the first issue of the flamboyantly novel series. “Satellite Sam” is a bold examination of the layered realities that are bought and sold to audiences everyday, and the way those imagined realities permeate us to the core. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by […]

Catalyst Comix #1

Review: Catalyst Comix #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 4, 2013 | Reviews

Joe Casey has been producing good comics at a considerable rate these days. “Sex” and “The Bounce” each do their own thing and do it pretty well. “Catalyst Comix” is something else an entirely – a free-form Joe Casey riff on the “event book” using (barely) established characters from comics’ past. If Casey’s aim stays […]

Pick of the Week: Avengers A.I. #1

By James Johnston | Jul 4, 2013 | Reviews

Ultron has been defeated, Alternate Future Wolverine and Sue Storm have been swept under the rug, and Hank Pym now leads a new team of artifical Avengers into the “Age of AI!” Will this event-aftermath book manage better than the crossover it spinned off from? Read below to find out! Written by Sam Humphries Illustrated […]

Valiant (Re)visions: Shadowman #8 [Review]

By David Harper and Brandon Burpee | Jul 3, 2013 | Reviews

David: Brandon, we’re back with a busy week of Valiant, but thankfully, we have just one review after Power Rankings dropped yesterday. This week’s joint is Shadowman #8, from writer Justin Jordan and artist Roberto de la Torre (and friends). This isn’t just Darque-centric, or Monkey in a Top Hat centric. It’s got everyone. Does […]

Mignolaversity: Abe Sapien #4 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 3, 2013 | Reviews

The second arc of “Abe Sapien” kicks off with a different creative team than the first three issues: co-writer John Arcudi and artist Max Fiumara join the story, for a trip to the Salton Sea where Abe looks for answers.

Five Thoughts on the Venture Bros. “O.S.I. Love You” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 1, 2013 | Reviews

Well that was certainly an uptick from last week’s episode, now wasn’t it? Lets investigate further. 1. Many Happy Returns This episode featured a lot of stuff that had previously been mostly background noise (if that) for this season of Venture Bros. It’s strange, really; after spending so long developing various aspects of the Good […]

Review: Young Avengers #6

By Sam LeBas | Jun 28, 2013 | Reviews

Imagine that it is your ninth birthday. You’ve been eyeing this superbly awesome set of Legos; we’re talking big box, bottom shelf, only for special occasions, set of Legos. You expect that Mom will come through, because for every other occasion in the past, she has delivered. You’re seated at the head of the table, […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 6/26/13

By Multiversity Staff | Jun 28, 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 kicking off Wrapping Wednesdays this week, providing micro reviews for some of what we didn’t review. It’s the […]

Review: The Wake #2

By Michelle White | Jun 28, 2013 | Reviews

So we pretty much loved the first issue of this ten-part Vertigo series – but then, we were kind of expecting to love it, because it’s Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy, and that was always going to be a genius pairing. Happily enough, this series seems to be nailing the follow-through as it takes us […]

Review: Jupiter’s Legacy #2

By Zach Wilkerson | Jun 28, 2013 | Reviews

“Jupiter’s Legacy” presents a bit of a quandry. On one hand, it’s the product of a writer known for shaking up the industry and one of the best illustrators out there. It’s a gorgeous book, but it fails to present any new or noteworthy concepts, coming off rather as a repackaging of many superhero tropes […]

Review: Hawkeye #11

By Alice W. Castle | Jun 28, 2013 | Reviews

The moment is finally here. Matt Fraction and David Aja’s long awaited ‘Pizza Dog issue’ has finally arrived. What started as a joke between the two and editor Stephen Wacker has come to fruition and now only one question remains: does it live up to the hype? Written by Matt FractionIllustrated by David Aja• THE […]

Review: Red Lanterns #21

By Vince Ostrowski | Jun 28, 2013 | Reviews

DC Comics’ lantern shake-up is in full effect, which had us all wondering where all of the different “Green Lantern” line characters would end up finding a home. Guy Gardner lands with “Red Lanterns”, which at the very least looks to change the conversation of a title that was shockingly stagnant for 20 straight issues. […]

Review: The Last of Us: American Dreams #3

By James Johnston | Jun 28, 2013 | Reviews

Review: Uncanny #1

By Michelle White | Jun 27, 2013 | Reviews

Overused title aside, there’s plenty to get excited about in this brand new miniseries from Dynamite – not least that it’s solid, noirish fun. Written by Andy Diggle Illustrated by Aaron Campbell SIX BILLION SKILL SETS. ONE LAST CHANCE. Weaver is unique, or so he thinks. Born with an uncanny ability, he can steal other […]

Review: Liberator #1

By Michelle White | Jun 27, 2013 | Reviews

Like a lot of readers, we kind of missed the boat on this title when it came out last week – it’s not available digitally, and not everybody’s LCS was stocking it. This, of course, is what re-ordering is for, and if straightforward vigilante action is your cup of tea, it looks like you will […]

Review: Justice League #21

By Zach Wilkerson | Jun 27, 2013 | Reviews

After telling the New 52 origin story of Billy Batson piecemeal over the past year and a half, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank finally deliver the ending we’ve all been waiting for, setting up what will hopefully be many years of stories to come. Written by Geoff Johns Illustrated by Gary Frank THE MARCH TO […]

Review: Age of Ultron #10A.I.

By James Johnston | Jun 27, 2013 | Reviews

With the Age of Ultron drifting away in our rearview mirror, what does the Marvel Universe hold for Hank Pym? Will we continue to make fun of him all the time? Probably not, surprisingly enough! Spoilers ahead! Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Andre Araujo • One of Marvel’s most classic characters, Hank Pym, stands […]

Greg Pak and Jae Lee, along with Ben Oliver, travel back to the beginning of the New 52 to explore the first meeting between Superman and Batman. Can they bring a new twist to the New 52 and make a good series out of the concept? They can, apparently. Written by Greg PakIllustrated by Jae […]

Review: Larfleeze #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jun 27, 2013 | Reviews

When Geoff Johns created Larfleeze, he almost instantly became a fan-favorite character in the Green Lantern sphere. But while fans routinely cheered at his scattershot appearances, will they find enough to like in an entire series about him? Written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Scott Kolins Larfleeze, the breakout character from BLACKEST […]
