Five Thoughts on Doctor Who’s “Hide”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 22, 2013 | Reviews

Last week’s Who was a bit of a disappointment, but so far the second half of the seventh season has been very strong. Does “Hide” keep up the trend? Lets find out! 1. Neil Cross is the Man This is Cross’ second episode (the first being the well received “Rings of Akhaten”), but one thing […]

Ten Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “And Now His Watch Has Ended”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 22, 2013 | Reviews

Hello and welcome to our weekly Game of Thrones recap! Unfortunately, David is out this week and could not provide you with five thoughts for non-book readers, nor could we find anyone to take his place. Sadness. So, for non-book readers, all I have to say… 1. Holy 2. Shit 3. What 4. An 5. […]

Review: The Black Beetle: No Way Out #3

By David Harper | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

Black Beetle? More like ORANGE Beetle, am I right? Sigh. Tough audience. Review below. Written and illustrated by Francesco Francavilla Under the watchful gaze of the mysterious Labyrinto, Black Beetle fights for his life! Is this the doing of a man that Black Beetle thought was dead? Could a zombie mobster be commanding the foes […]

Review: Wolverine and the X-Men #27AU

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

“Wolverine and the X-Men” #27AU is an unfortunate type of event tie-in. Taking place between pages of this week’s “Age of Ultron” #6, writer Matt Kindt is forced to tell a story within a story, one that expands on the event, without giving away any information or plot threads that would make it “required reading.” […]

Review: Miniature Jesus #1

By Michelle White | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

First in a five-issue miniseries, this new book from Ted McKeever and Shadowline starts with a dead cat and gets stranger from there. If you need a dose of the surreal this week, you know where to go. Written and Illustrated by Ted McKeever Devil on one shoulder – angel on the other. One tells […]

Review: Captain Marvel #12

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

Deathbird’s claws finally clamp around Captain Marvel as they face-off. But with Carol grounded, can she fight off Deathbird without using her powers? Or will he condition only get worse? Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Christopher Sebela Illustrated by Filipe Andrade • The issue that will kick off a Major Captain Marvel and Avengers […]

Review: DC Universe Presents #19

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

If the idea behind DC Comics’ “WTF month” was to create comic covers based out of pure deception and craft uninspired stories out of underwhelming “surprises”, then “DC Universe Presents” #19 just might be their biggest success in April. If you were drowsy while reading that first line, I’m saying that this is not a […]

Review: Chew #33

By Sam LeBas | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

Against a backdrop of sumptuous satire, delectable art, and original flavor “Chew” #33 provides food for thought. Written by John Layman Illustrated by Rob Guillory Tony takes on a load of seamen. In the midst of the ‘Bad Apples,’ story arc, Layman and Guillory continue to find innovative ways to engage and surprise readers. “Chew” […]

Review: Batwoman #19

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

WTF? I’m reviewing a DC title? But don’t I always make disparaging remarks about DC Comics? WTF?! Oh well. Lets give this a go anyway. Written by JH Williams III and W. Haden Blackman Illustrated by Trevor McCarthy What is the shocking family revelation that can turn Batwoman’s world upside down? “Batwoman” is one of […]

Review: Justice League of America’s Vibe #3

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

Sterling Gates returns to DC Comics in his first writing gig since “Hawk and Dove.” Does his take on “Justice League of America’s Vibe” (still such a silly name) fare better than that ill fated run? Is a creative change this early in the book’s life an early death knell? While this book still struggles […]

Review: Justice League #19

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

One of the reasons that Geoff Johns was such a vital member of the DC creative team pre-New 52 was that he has a deep love of continuity, and a discerning enough taste to know when something worked or didn’t work. It was this sort of eye for minutia that led to some of the […]

Review: Danger Club #5

By Michelle White | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

It’s been a long wait between issues, but by all accounts “Danger Club” is still, well, one dangerous club, with this entry being probably the most dire and tense chapter yet. Written by Landry Q. Walker Illustrated by Eric Jones It’s the end of the world, and Jack Fearless must now pay the price for […]

Valiant (Re)visions: X-O Manowar #12 and Bloodshot #10 [Review]

By David Harper and Brandon Burpee | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

David: It’s another double week in a month full of them, as this week brings everyone’s favorite, X-O Manowar, and his good friend Bloodshot getting his Harbinger War on. Let’s start with X-O Brandon. This is the 12th issue from Robert Venditti and Cary Nord, and while part of me thought it still wasn’t great […]

Review: Mara #4

By David Harper | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

When “Mara” first came out, I honestly had no idea what it was about. I did know it was coming from Brian Wood, Ming Doyle and Jordie Bellaire though, so even if it was about a volleyball superstar in a future where your fame and skills as an athlete are effectively everything developing superpowers and […]

Review: Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

We at Multiversity Comics have already been raving about “Five Ghosts” (See: Michelle’s review of issue #1 and her subsequent “Hype Machine” column). But little-comics-that-could like this could use all the press they can get and “Five Ghosts” #2 proves to be just as deserving of rave reviews. Written by Frank J. Barbiere Illustrated by […]

Review: Thief of Thieves #13

By Walt Richardson | Apr 18, 2013 | Reviews

As the second arc of “Thief of Thieves” comes to a close, does Spencer’s arc remain top dog, or does Asmus steal the title? Either way you look at it, that’s a terrible play on words that has been abused enough in conjunction with this comic. Written by James Asmus Illustrated by Shawn Martinbrough Conrad […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. #106 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 17, 2013 | Reviews

Even after the insanity of “Abe month,” we still have a full month of Mignolaversity to get to – after last week’s “Sledgehammer ’44” and before next week’s “Vampire #2,” we have “B.P.R.D.” proper, with one of our favorite artists and some great characters in the forefront. Let’s get to it! Written by Mike Mignola […]

Ten Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “Walk of Punishment”

By Matthew Meylikhov and David Harper | Apr 15, 2013 | Reviews

For my fellow non-bookreaders, I have a look at last night’s Game of Thrones episode, titled “Walk of Punishment,” right here. It will talk about things that happened in the episode in detail but won’t go further because, simply, my knowledge doesn’t go further. Want more details? Check out Matt’s five additional thoughts from a […]

Five Thoughts on Doctor Who’s “Cold War”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 15, 2013 | Reviews

1. The Biggest Flaw Doctor Who Consistently Has Ok. Look. I get it: the TARDIS automatically translates everyone around you that you wouldn’t necessarily understand. There’s plenty of good jokes about this in the episode. And you know what? I like Liam Cunningham. Regularly great guy in Game of Thrones. But, come on. They arrive […]

Review: Batman #19

By Sam LeBas | Apr 13, 2013 | Reviews

At first glance, it appears that “Batman” #19 is a typical cape and cowl adventure, boasting battles, mystery, and mistaken identity; but it is also a complex examination of the ways that loss and mourning can deteriorate humanity. Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Greg Capullo Who would cause Bruce Wayne to use a gun? […]

Review: Thor, God of Thunder #7

By Michelle White | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

After an especially dark sixth issue – one in which we took a close look at Gorr’s past – we’re back to a macro view of this epic story. And it looks like this series is continuing to maintain its high standard while mixing in a bit of humour, too. Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated […]
