Mignolaversity: Hellboy in Hell #3 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Feb 6, 2013 | Reviews

“Hellboy in Hell” has been a totally unique reading experience thus far, and #3 amps up the singular experience that is a Mignola book to extreme levels, including some absolutely bewildering moments and head-scratching sequences. Written and Illustrated by Mike Mignola Hellboy meets more of his family members, and it’s not a fond reunion, as […]

“Los Muertos” is an Old-Fashioned Revenge Story with a Lot of Flair [Review]

By Michelle White | Feb 5, 2013 | Reviews

Not to be confused with the upcoming “Dia de Los Muertos” from Image Comics and Riley Rossmo, this unique one-shot from Challenger Comics is an old-fashioned revenge story with a lot of flair. Written by Fabian Rangel Jr. Illustrated by Juan Romera In the small border town of Los Muertos, sheriff’s deputy Carlos Garza is […]

Review: Avengers #4

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 1, 2013 | Reviews

I think it is fair to say that we at Multiversity, as well as most of the comics community, was very excited about Jonathan Hickman taking over “Avengers.” The first two issues piqued our excitement and promised a wide open, grand story with lots of interesting characters taking center stage. And then #3 came out. […]

Review: Deep Dive Daredevils – Secret of the Beaufort Sea

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 1, 2013 | Reviews

We don’t always review webcomics in our weekly reviews, but when we do it’s because they’re quite good. Written by Matt Hiestand, Dan Fifield and Evin Dempsey Illustrated by Danilo Guida Some call them pirates, some call them heroes, but none dare call them cowards! In all of nautical legend, never before have such strange […]

Review: Before Watchmen: Dollar Bill #1

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Feb 1, 2013 | Reviews

There are a few shared experiences in all of comics that we all have tucked away in our minds: the first comic that we loved, when a beloved character dies, the loss of an exceptional creative team. And, of course, the very thing that defines all comic fans: the moment when we wondered if there […]

Review: I, Vampire #16

By Zach Wilkerson | Feb 1, 2013 | Reviews

“I, Vampire” was recently dealt some major blows with the loss of artist Andrea Sorrentino and a cancellation notice. Can Fialkov make the best of a crummy situation and continue to tell great stories? The short answer is yes, he can. Written by Joshua Hale Fialkov Illustrated by Scott Clark • The true origin of […]

Review: Batman & Robin Annual

By Walt Richardson | Feb 1, 2013 | Reviews

While some people skip annuals, feeling that they don’t add anything to the burdensome layers of continuity already in place, that’s exactly why I like checking them out, even on books I don’t normally read. With less of an emphasis on advancing the overall plot, you get a better grip on the actual quality of […]

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

By James Johnston | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

1) One overacting villain! Ha ha ha! So this week’s episode introduced Arrow’s version of Count Vertigo. Here, he’s a drug dealer who saw Bane in The Dark Knight and thought “Yeah I can do that”. He talks like he learned how to read from a Highlights for Kids magazine written by one of Quentin Tarantino’s monologues. I won’t lie: […]

Review: Emily and the Strangers #1

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

The pop culture landscape is a large, at times overwhelming cavalcade of ideas that overlap each other, re-purpose concepts, and blatantly steal from one another. So when the cover to “Emily and the Strangers” looked familiar, I chalked it up to the cross-pollination of white people ideas. Then, after a cursory Google search, I found […]

Review: Orc Girl

By Michelle White | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

Short stories can be tricky little creatures – especially in comics, where reading time per page can be exceptionally short. Every caption becomes a keystone, every detail in the artwork essential to the whole. Which is why it’s particularly wonderful to come across a collection of stories as well orchestrated and deftly laid out as […]

Review: Invincible #100

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

The supposedly best superhero book in the universe hits its 100th issue a few months after its estranger sister book “The Walking Dead” dominated charts and garners some quite positive reviews. But does “Invincible” #100 measure up to the challenge? As a note, some inherent spoilers are tip-toed around. I do my best not to […]

Review: Green Lantern Corps Annual #1

By Zach Wilkerson | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

DC’s ‘Rise of the Third Army’ crossover has been quite the non-event. However, the threads of the various Green Lantern books come together in this latest Annual issue, as the arc (finally) comes to head. Written by Peter Tomasi Illustrated by ChrisCross •“RISE OF THE THIRD ARMY” ends here! • Thanks to the Third Army, […]

Pick of the Week: Hawkeye #7

By Walt Richardson | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

Marvel’s best new series. An issue focusing on real-world disaster. A creator who is donating his profits to a worth cause. Yeah, I’d say that’s pick of the week material. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Steve Lieber, Jesse Hamm, and Matt Hollingsworth We’re pushing the next story back by a month to make room […]

Monkeybrain Weekly: High Crimes #1 [Review]

By David Harper | Jan 31, 2013 | Reviews

After a bit of a break because of holidays and other assorted things going on, I’m back with Monkeybrain Weekly, this week taking a look at the hotly anticipated “High Crimes” #1. Does this $0.99 book live up the expectations? Let’s find out below, shall we? Written by Christopher Sebela Illustrated by Ibrahim Moustafa People […]

Review: Witch Doctor, Mal Practice #3

By Michelle White | Jan 25, 2013 | Reviews

This second run on the “Witch Doctor” concept from got a solid start, and now that it’s reached its halfway point, it looks like this Skybound title is as weirdly entertaining as ever. Written by Brandon Seifert Illustrated by Lukas Ketner Dr. Morrow’s medical practice – diagnosing and treating supernatural diseases – has been disrupted […]

5 Thoughts on “Before Watchmen: Minutemen”

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 25, 2013 | Reviews

And so, “Minutemen” comes to an end and though we here at Multiversity Comics got significantly less interested in the ‘Before Watchmen’ line as the weeks went on, it’s still worth taking a look at the event’s flagship title and how it all shook out at the end. Assume some minor spoilers though none are […]

Review: Wonder Woman #16

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 25, 2013 | Reviews

This is nowhere near an original thought, but one that bears repeating: for an iconic character, Wonder Woman doesn’t have the pantheon of classic stories her contemporaries do. Ask for a fan’s classic Diana story, and there are a few answers that get tossed around, but none at the level of a “Year One” or […]

Review: FF #3

By Walt Richardson | Jan 25, 2013 | Reviews

“FF” #2 was essentially a better version of “Fantastic Four” #2 — it was still a good comic, but seemed a bit unnecessary to those readers who were picking up both (which, granted, isn’t everyone reading “FF”). With the books finally separated, does #3 step back up to the level of quality that #1 presented? […]

Review: Green Lantern #16

By Zach Wilkerson | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

The Third Army has risen, but thankfully in this issue they take a back seat to Baz and B’dg, the best new team in comics. Written by Geoff Johns Illustrated by Doug Mankhe – “RISE OF THE THIRD ARMY” marches toward its conclusion as Simon Baz meets his fellow Green Lantern for the first time, […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Trust But Verify” [Review]

By James Johnston | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

1.) This episode was a bit of a letdown after Firefly. Following last week’s fantastic “Burned”, “Trust But Verify” really didn’t live up to the hype the previous episode gave us. “Trust” ended up focusing more on the supporting cast than Ollie and Diggle which, while important in setting up further plots, didn’t feel very […]

Review: Hell Yeah #6

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

In its 6th issue, Joe Keatinge’s “Hell Yeah” seems to almost reinvent itself, taking on a new status quo while remaining just as fun and inspired in its love for super heroes as ever. “Hell Yeah” is still a suspect title for this comic book though. Sorry, everyone. Written by Joe Keatinge Illustrated by Andre […]
