Review: Invincible Universe #1

By | 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 | 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 | 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: Sex #2

By | 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 | 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 […]

Review: Saga #12

By | 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 | 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 | 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. […]

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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 […]
