Review: Invincible Universe #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

An “Invincible” spinoff written by Phil Hester with art from Todd Nauck? Haven’t we done this song and dance before? Well, the answer is “yes”, but that doesn’t mean that “Invincible Universe” #1 isn’t a darn good comic book. It’s also an even better symbol of the potential of Robert Kirkman’s creations to go out […]

Review: Ultron #1AU

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

Despite its several shortcomings, one good thing about “Age of Ultron” is its relatively low number of tie-in issues. The latest tie-in issue, “Ultron” #1AU, has a strong concept that’s extremely relevant to the event (despite the issues’ absurd naming convention). However, much like the event series that spawned it, “Ultron” #1AU is packed with […]

Review: Saucer Country #14

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

Adding another notch in Vertigo’s coffin, “Saucer Country” was cancelled prematurely, long before it could reach it’s intended ending. There will be more, potentially soon, but as it stands, should you even want to come back? Written by Paul Cornell Illustrated by Ryan Kelly Arcadia finally learns the “truth” about the alien invasion—but what she […]

Review: Age of Ultron #5

By Walt Richardson | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

In this exciting issue of “Age of Ultron”: something happens! No, really! What, don’t you believe me? Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Bryan Hitch The super hero survivors of the Ultron devastation follow a trail to the Savage Land in the hopes of finding a way to survive or turn the tide of […]

Review: Sex #2

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 11, 2013 | Reviews

When “Sex” was announced, the title, obviously, got a lot of play (no pun intended) in the media, but many wondered how much of the book would actually be about coitus. It turns out, quite a bit. Written by Joe Casey Illustrated by Piotr Kowalski SECOND ISSUE COLLECTOR’S ITEM! Simon Cooke’s journey into the underbelly […]

Review: The Colonized #1

By Michelle White | Apr 11, 2013 | Reviews

Incorporating zombies and aliens AND politics, I think it’s safe to say that there’s a lot going on in this IDW miniseries. Written by Chris Ryall Illustrated by Drew Moss In this all-new miniseries, a spaceship crashes into a separatist camp and manages to reanimate the dead as well! It’s aliens vs. zombies vs. militiamen […]

David: This week on Valiant (Re)visions, things are rolling big time over on Harbinger, as #11 from Josh Dysart, Trevor Hairsine and Khari Evans continues the Harbinger Wars party. Things are starting to come together now, Brandon. What did you think of this issue? Brandon: I liked what was going on here but for some […]

Review: Fearless Defenders #3

Review: Saga #12

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 11, 2013 | Reviews

“Saga” #12 makes headlines with a bit of controversy, but we’ve got the real scoop: One year in, this book is still fantastic. Written by Brian K. Vaughan Illustrated by Fiona Staples Prince Robot IV makes his move. Joking aside, it’s truly incredible what Vaughan and Staples have accomplished here. Over the course of twelve issues […]

Review: Wolverine #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 11, 2013 | Reviews

Paul Cornell compares Wolverine to the Beatles in “Wolverine” #2. Nick Fury Jr. sees him as the Paul McCartney of super-humans. Logan would rather fancy himself as George, but this volume of Wolverine’s solo title is totally his Wings phase. That is to say, ultimately harmless but pretty unmemorable. Written by Paul Cornell Illustrated by […]

Pick of the Week: Theremin #1

By Walt Richardson | Apr 11, 2013 | Reviews

Monkeybrain’s latest series focuses on an interesting figure in both scientific, musical, and espionage history. I know, sounds like a guy begging to be comic book-ed. Pretty much any $1 #1 is worth it in my opinion, but how “worth it” is this debut? Be warned: lots of dashed interruptions — like this — follow. […]

Mignolaversity: Sledgehammer ’44 #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 10, 2013 | Reviews

A short mini wraps up in spectacular fashion, and everyone is left wanting more!

Five Additional Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “Dark Wings, Dark Words”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 8, 2013 | Reviews

In addition to David’s Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones today, David and I both agree that it might be nice to also have some commentary for people who read the books. The best of both worlds and so on and so forth. Consider David’s thoughts Westeros and my thoughts Essos! But you must know: […]

Five Thoughts on Doctor Who’s “The Rings of Akhaten”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 8, 2013 | Reviews

Last week’s episode was a strong return to form for a show that had been lacking severely for the first half of the seventh series, but does the good streak continue? Lets find out by breaking the show down into the five most prevalent thoughts I had while watching “the Rings of Akhaten.” 1. Matt […]

Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “Dark Wings, Dark Words”

By David Harper | Apr 8, 2013 | Reviews

Back from my Walking Dead exile, I’m back to review one of my favorite shows on television – “Game of Thrones.” The third season started with a good not great episode that took time to show everyone a little of where everyone currently was. The second episode checks back in with Arya, Bran, Theon Greyjoy, […]

Review: Age Of Ultron #4

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

It’s the end of the world as we know it and after the reveal of overlord Vision in the last issue’s finale, the world’s remaining heroes must come together to try and find Ultron in an event about Ultron. Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Bryan Hitch • The impossible has happened! • The […]

Review: Action Comics #19

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

Many were excited for Andy Diggle and Tony Daniel’s take on Superman in “Action Comics,” following on the heels of Grant Morrison’s polarizing run. However, those who keep up with industry news have likely heard about Diggle’s unfortunate departure from the book. With Tony Daniel set to wrap up the arc based on Diggle’s scripts, […]

Review: Godzilla – Half Century War #5

By Michelle White | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

This is it: the most interesting and beautifully conceived Godzilla tale in comics has reached its final chapter, and it’s a doozy. Written and Illustrated by James Stokoe Ota Murakami has fought Godzilla for fifty years. The decades have been hard on Ota, and he is seemingly no closer to his goal. Now, in the […]

Review: Stormwatch #19

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

Whenever a new creative team takes over an ongoing title, it’s always interesting to see the approach they’ll take to put their stamp on the title. It’s usually apparent that a new writer has taken over the characters quite early on, especially if you’ve read been reading comics long enough. It’s even more apparent when […]

Review: All-New X-Men #10

By Sam LeBas | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

I just pulled myself up from a rock face using a root, a MacGyver-esque contraption, and my extraordinary upper body strength. You see, Brian Michael Bendis left me hanging on this cliff at the end of this issue. Though my arms are very sore, I consider myself lucky that this cliff has wifi, because I […]

Review: Batwing #19

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

One of the first reviews I wrote for Multiversity was for “Batwing” #1, and at the time, I was pleasantly surprised with the issue, and the overall direction of the book. Due, in no small part, to the Bat-family connection, “Batwing” has survived creator changes, not-too-impressive sales, and critical indifference for a year and a […]
