Nobody tell Superman, but Orion totally smacks Wonder Woman on the butt in this issue. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Tony Akins • Wonder Woman, War and Orion must join forces to save Zola’s baby from Hermes! • Orion’s reasons for helping Wonder Woman lead to a disastrous betrayal! • Plus: The truth about […]

Review: Thor, God of Thunder #5

By Michelle White | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

So this series has already gotten a lot of love from us at Multiversity, and it’s not difficult to see why. Epic, nuanced, well thought-out and beautifully drawn, this is a big and inventive story that’s both accessible and complex. But how does it all hold together now that we’ve reached the end of an […]

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

By Chad Bowers | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

This week, IDW Publishing shook the Joe-verse up again with the all-new “G.I. Joe” #1, and this time, they’ve brought fan-favorite writer Fred Van Lente and artist Steve Kurth along for the ride. Is this the can’t miss, G.I. Joe comic we’ve all be waiting for? Well, yeah. I’m pretty sure it is. Written by […]

Review: The Shadow – Year One #1

By Walt Richardson | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Well, I don’t know about that, but I know Matt Wagner knows how to write a good pulp crime story. Who knows that I used this same dumb joke when introducing the first issue of Garth Ennis’s “The Shadow?” Well, now we all do. Written […]

Review: Saga #10

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

While I do believe in spoiler-free reviews, this issue is a bit hard to talk about without getting into specifics. So I tell you what — this review will be mostly spoiler-free, but some allusions will be made that could help you put two and two together, if you’re clever. So take that as a […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Dodger” [Review]

By James Johnston | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

1.) A bit of a deceleration from last week. Last week’s episode, “Odyssey”, was pretty much just fighting explosions for 70 percent of the total airtime. Now, due to reasons of pacing (and probably budget), this episode took a much more relaxed tone and had a lot more focus on everyone’s domestic life. Even the […]

Review: Nova #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

I’ll admit right off the bat that I was one of those people who always used to talk about how great Marvel Cosmic was and how amazing Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning’s work was. That said? “Nova” didn’t ever do much for me. At least, not in comparison with the other major space cop book […]

Review: Justice League of America #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

It goes without saying that Geoff Johns’ initial foray into the Justice League was found wanting by many DC fans. Until very recently, “Justice League” has failed to capture the strong character moments that Johns built his name on a decade ago in books like “JSA,” “Teen Titans,” and “The Flash.” Johns gets a second […]

Review: Action Comics #17

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

Grant Morrison’s run on “Action Comics” hasn’t had story arcs. Hell, before this issue showed up, it was hard to know if the entire run would have an “arc” at all. Instead, it’s had a myriad of plot devices and stand alone issues that didn’t look like they could possibly come together: The villain from […]

Review: Hellblazer #300

By Walt Richardson | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

I don’t think you get any more “end of an era” than the final issue of “Hellblazer.” Sorry, DC, but even if you have someone like Jeff Lemire writing “Constantine” I won’t be interested if he can’t give the finger to the devil and drop the C bomb. Until then, though, we have this finale […]

Review: Alpha: Big Time #1

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

After a much-hyped introduction, rumors of him taking over the Spider-Man title from Peter Parker, and then a disappearance for a few months, Alpha is back in this mini series. Keep reading for a spoiler-free discussion of the first issue. Written by Joshua Hale Fialkov Illustrated by Nuno Plati From the pages of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, […]

Review: Strange Nation #1

By Michelle White | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

There’s nothing like a bit of inspired lunacy to get a series started off right, and that’s exactly what you get in “Strange Nation” #1. This first chapter of a four-issue miniseries published by Action Lab Comics is all set to premiere at Emerald City Comic-Con, and comes highly recommended from us. Seriously: gorilla-headed politicians […]

Pick of the Week: Batwoman #17

By Michelle White | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

It’s the end of an arc, and Batwoman and Wonder Woman’s rather Lovecraftian crossover adventure is coming to a close. There will be tentacles. Oh yes, there will be tentacles. Written by J.H. Williams III & W. Haden Blackman Illustrated by J.H. Williams III • It’s the massive conclusion to the current storyline as Batwoman […]

Mignolaversity: Baltimore: The Widow and the Tank [Review]

By Mark Tweedale | Feb 20, 2013 | Reviews

Rookie Mignolaversity writer Mark Tweedale returns today, to give us a look at, perhaps, the most unsung corner of the Mignolaverse, the domain of Lord Baltimore. Written by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden Illustrated by Ben Stenbeck Eisner Award–winning horror master Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden present this horrific double feature about a widow with […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. 1948 #5 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Feb 20, 2013 | Reviews

Wrapping up “1948,” setting up “Vampire,” is there anything this issue can’t do? Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Max Fiumara Paranoia plagues members of the team as one scientist begins to suspect Bureau members are being replaced by beings from another universe. * A direct lead-in to next month’s B.P.R.D.: Vampire […]

Valiant (Re)visions: X-O Manowar #10 and Harbinger #9 [Review]

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

We’re back with another week of Valiant (Re)visions, and this week is a doozy as we tackle two big books: X-O Manowar #10 and Harbinger #9. Our team of Brandon Burpee and David Harper teams up to dissect these book and look at what’s next for both of them as they approach big crossovers. Let […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Home” [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 18, 2013 | Reviews

Much to some people’s chagrin, I was not a fan of the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead. That’s going to happen, but I can’t help it: to me, it was not a good episode. Was the second episode a return to form? Find out below. Also, as a note, I’ll intermittently talk things from […]

Review: Powers – Bureau #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

Review: Avengers Assemble #12

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

The 2nd arc of Kelly Sue DeConnick’s run on “Avengers Assemble” kicks off after a ridiculously fun and bounding 1st arc featuring the whole gang. If issue #12 is any indication, this run looks to darken things just a tad. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick Illustrated by Pete Woods The sins of Black Widow’s past […]

Review: Creepy #11

By Michelle White | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

Arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day (even if this review isn’t), this edition of Dark Horse’s anthology series “Creepy” centers on horrific love stories. And why not? Between the images of arrows piercing hearts and the rhetoric about eternity and soul mates, there’s always been something faintly funereal about this much-beleaguered pseudo-holiday. But regardless […]

Review: Fantastic Four #4

By Zach Wilkerson | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

Matt Fraction delivers a Valentine’s appropriate issue of “Fantastic Four,” in which Reed reflects on his love for Sue. Also, Johnny plays a prank on Ben, and there’s some aliens or something. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mark Bagley • An alien world, a thousand-year-old prophesy—is the Invisible Woman a long-awaited intergalactic messiah? Last […]
