Review: Five Weapons #2

By Michelle White | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

So we kind of loved the first issue of this miniseries – but then, what’s not to love about a boarding-school story where there are kids learning to be assassins? It didn’t hurt that our hero, Tyler, was just about the classiest take on the non-violent smart kid ever. Written and Illustrated by Jimmie Robinson […]

Review: Uncanny Avengers #5

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

It would be hard pressed to find someone who was initially more down on the idea of “Uncanny Avengers” than yours truly. What seemed, at the time, to be a cash grab, has emerged into a solid, fun and, yes, delayed comic. This issue acts as an epilogue of sorts for the initial arc, drawn […]

Review: The Massive #10

By Walt Richardson | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

Not too long ago, we asked Brian Wood what cultural identity means in the post-Crash world of “The Massive.” In this issue, we get to see at least a little bit of his answer (well, he answered us last time, but now through story). Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Gary Erskine The Kapital finally […]

Pick of the Week: East of West #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

Years after hitting it big at Marvel with his runs on “Fantastic Four” and “FF,” Jonathan Hickman remains committed to his creator owned works. The newest of which, “East of West,” sees Hickman teaming up with “FF” collaborator Nick Dragotta for what looks to be one of his grandest endeavors yet. Written by Jonathan Hickman […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. Vampire #1 [Review]

Four weeks of March, four Mignolaverse books – and they may have saved the best for last. Written by Mike Mignola, Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon Illustrated by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon After the horrific events of B.P.R.D.: 1948, we follow one doomed agent’s quest for revenge against a clan of vampires and their […]

G.I. JOEversity: G.I. Joe Special Missions # 1 [Review]

By Chad Bowers | Mar 25, 2013 | Reviews

The second title in IDW’s G.I. Joe relaunch, “G.I. Joe: Special Missions” #1 hit comics shelves and Comixology last week, and with it, the return of a handful of Joes who aren’t quite finished dealing with the fallout from the previous ongoing series. Written by Chuck Dixon Art by Paul Gulacy A NEW BEGINNING! The […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “This Sorrowful Life” [Review]

By David Harper | Mar 25, 2013 | Reviews

After Matt took a week to share what other Multiversity staff members were thinking of when it comes to The Walking Dead’s television show, I’m back to give you a bit more of the bright side of things. As I’ve shared before, I don’t hate this show. It’s intermittently frustrating, but often, it’s very entertaining […]

Review: GI Joe #2

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

After reading issue #1, I was interested enough to check out a second issue of the new “GI Joe” ongoing, which was already something of a shock to my system. Would I be coming back for a third taste? Written by Fred Van Lente Illustrated by Steve Kurth HOMEFRONT! The G.I. Joe team battles Cobra […]

Review: Mystery Society Special 2013

By Michelle White | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

2010’s miniseries “Mystery Society” was remarkable for a lot of things, from Steve Niles’ fun and inventive script to the smooth and lovely art from Fiona Staples. It’s about time this Gothic series about a myth-investigating duo and their madcap team revisited the shelves – but with a new artist and a scaled-down story, does […]

Review: My Little Pony Micro-Series – Rainbow Dash

By Matthew Meylikhov | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

I just want to make something clear right out the gate. I know Ryan Lindsay. We roomed together at Emerald City Comic Con. We’ve shared beers, laughs and inside jokes. I also know absolutely nothing about My Little Pony. I mean, I guess I understand that they’re ponies, and that they’re smaller than a normal […]

Review: Justice League #18

By Zach Wilkerson | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

After fending off an incursion from the seas, it’s time for a good old fashioned recruitment drive in “Justice League” #18. Written by Geoff Johns Illustrated by Jesus Saiz (Back-Up by Gary Frank) • Cyborg takes center stage as events fall into place for next month’s massive new story arc: “OFF THE GRID”! • Also, […]

Review: All-New X-Men #9

By Walt Richardson | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

I have grown tired of time travel stories. I also have not been impressed with Bendis’s previous efforts on team books. As you can imagine, I was incredibly skeptical when “All-New X-Men” was announced… and now it is one of the few Marvel NOW! books that I am reading, and perhaps the one I enjoy […]

Review: Birds of Prey #18

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

It’s always good to check back in with a series whenever a new creative team hits. Oftentimes, these are opportunities for books to change direction in interesting ways. And with that said, here comes Jim Zu…errr…Christy Marx and Romano Molenaar to “Birds of Prey.” Written by Christy Marx Illustrated by Romano Molenaar & Vicente Cifuentes […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “The Huntress Returns” [Review]

By James Johnston | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

1.) The Huntress Strikes Again. So The Huntress returned this week. Spoilers for those who didn’t read the title. First, she takes up the only job rogue women out for revenge are allowed to get in fiction and pretends to be a stripper so she can interrogate her father’s attorney as to where Mr. Bertinelli […]

Review: Constantine #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

Not happy with letting him exist within his own dark corner of their publishing line, DC has brought Constantine fully into the fold with their new ongoing, “Constantine.” But does the dark magician find the appropriate home within this new world? Well, not really. Not more so than he already had, anyway. Written by Ray […]

Review: Justice League of America #2

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

Today, three comics were released with the words “Justice League” in the title. The “main” title dealt with ranks expanding, the most ancillary dealt with the realities of being a superhero as a teenager; this one didn’t really do anything. Written by Geoff Johns Backup Written by Matt Kindt Illustrated by David Finch Backup Illustrated […]

Review: Justice League of America’s Vibe #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

“Justice League of America’s Vibe” #1 did not sell well. There’s been a bunch of speculation as to why it turned out that way, but two issues in the real answer seems pretty clear: it’s a solo ongoing starring Vibe and there’s just not much you can do with that premise if you’re also busy […]

Review: Saga #11

By Walt Richardson | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

There are a lot of things to say about this comic, but before you crack it open, here’s a warning: be careful who you read it around. I recommend opening the first page with your back to the wall, comic close to your face. You are now safe to read “Saga” without random passerby mistaking […]

Review: Action Comics #18

By Zach Wilkerson | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

Remember that confused feeling you got after reading the last issue of “Final Crisis”? Get ready for that. Remember that joy and appreciation you had for Superman after reading “All Star Superman”? That’s here too. Get ready folks, this one’s a doozy. Written by Grant Morrison (Back-up by Sholly Fisch) Illustrated by Brad Walker and […]

Pick of the Week: Comeback #5

By Michelle White | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

Buoyed by a well-thought-out central concept and all kinds of bright and eye-catching art, “Comeback” has had a pretty good run. But how do things turn out for this miniseries – and its two beleaguered protagonists – in the end? Written by Ed Brisson Illustrated by Michael Walsh With half of Reconnect on the run […]

Valiant (Re)vsions: Harbinger #10 and X-O Manowar #11 [Review]

By David Harper and Brandon Burpee | Mar 20, 2013 | Reviews

David: Oh Brandon, it’s a big week in the world of Valiant, as two books drop with one big arc ending and another starting. Let’s start with the one concluding, as Harbinger #10 arrives from Josh Dysart and a bevy of artists, namely Matthew Clark, Alvaro Martinez, Dimi Macheras and Brian Thies. This was our […]
