Review: It Girl and the Atomics #6

By Michelle White | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

After an arc full of excitement, capped off with an epic video-game duel, It Girl is taking a break; and as per the five-on, one-off pattern that Rich and Norton have decided to follow, this is a one-shot that stands completely apart from It Girl’s adventures so far. In the spotlight this month: Mr. Gum! […]

Review: The Answer #1

By Walt Richardson | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

The Question — that is, Renee Montoya — is my favorite DC comics character. The Answer, on the other hand, is a new superhero from Dark Horse comics, co-created by rising star Dennis Hopeless and Eisner-winning “Battlepug” creator Mike Norton. It will be tough for their new character to top one of my favorites, but […]

Review: Uncanny X-Force #1

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

Rick Remender’s run on “Uncanny X-Force” will go down as one of the most critically lauded X-runs of the 21st century. At the end of that run, due to the Marvel NOW! initiative, we are getting a brand new “Uncanny X-Force” series, from writer Sam Humphries and artist Rob Garney that promises a new direction, […]

Review: Young Avengers #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 24, 2013 | Reviews

Before the review begins, I will make a note of something. If you check the front page of this very website, you will notice that we have a Pick of the Week option, in which a particular book is decided to be the title that we at MC plan to champion. Sometimes we’ve read the […]

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

By James Johnston | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

This week on Arrow, Firefly strikes Starling City, Detective Lance is amazing, and Tommy throws a fireman party which doesn’t sound like what you think it is. 1). Firefly has the greatest redesign. To be perfectly frank, I thought John Barrowman’s double role as Evil John Barrowman/Archer-Rival was going to be a tough job for […]

Review: Captain Marvel #9

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

“Captain Marvel” wraps up its first big arc, and #9 comes out just in time for you to pick it up. Should you pick it up? Lets find out. (Spoiler alert: YES.) Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick Illustrated by Filipe Andrade A PERFECT JUMPING-ON POINT FOR FANS NEW AND OLD! PART ONE OF A NEW […]

Review: Li’l Depressed Boy #15

By Michelle White | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

“Li’l Depressed Boy” has got a special place in our hearts here at Multiversity, and every now and then we just have to check in on him. But rather than being that trainwreck of a friend who always needs your help at the worst times (as the title would seem to suggest), this comic is […]

Review: New Avengers #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

Let it be known that in the year 2013, Jonathan Hickman replaced the New Avengers’ breakfast table with an Illuminati roundtable. He replaced their irreverent jokes and fun-poking for grave discussions about how to prevent the end of all things. And it was incredibly good. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Steve Epting – The […]

Review: Demon Knights #16

By Zach Wilkerson | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

“Demon Knights” was one of several New 52 launch books with a lot of unique potential. Unfortunately, the first arc suffered some severe story decompression, killing the series’ momentum. With issue #16, writer Robert Venditti takes the reins from Paul Cornell and propels the series 30 years into the future, providing a great jumping on […]

Review: Threshold #1

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

A cosmic book from Keith Giffen should get at least a one time buy from any self respecting comics fan, even at the slightly hefty $3.99 cover price. But hey, the start of two new stories has the potential to make four bucks seem like a steal. Written by Keith Giffen Illustrated by Tom Raney […]

Review: Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth #1

By Walt Richardson | Jan 18, 2013 | Reviews

“Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth” hit the shelves this week, offending sensitive parents everywhere. Sometimes, though, the best humor is also the most offensive — have you seen It’s Always Sunny In Philidelphia? Do Kristensen and Perker manage to make us roll over from laughter, or does their new mini solicit no more than […]

Review: The High Ways #1

By Michelle White | Jan 17, 2013 | Reviews

A new sci-fi miniseries from a big name — well, why not? Written and Illustrated by John Byrne Humanity has not yet reached for the stars, but the Solar System is still a busy, exciting, and sometimes very dangerous place, as young Eddie Wallace is about to discover, when he joins the crew of a […]

Review: Saga #9

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 17, 2013 | Reviews

Hey, guess what? “Saga” is really, really good. Some minor spoilers ahead… Written by Brian K. Vaughan Illustrated by Fiona Staples The Will finally has a good day. While billed as a sci-fi love story of survival between star-crossed lovers from two alien races, the mercenary character, The Will, has been perhaps the most complex […]

Review: Savage Wolverine #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 17, 2013 | Reviews

Well, my hopes for a Cullen Bunn “Wolverine” ongoing are dashed, but hey, who doesn’t like a curvy, pose-filled Wolverine book? And also dinosaurs? Written and Illustrated by Frank Cho Wolverine awakes to find himself transported to the Savage Land and labeled public enemy number one! With no memory of how he got there, and […]

Review: Black Beetle – No Way Out #1

By Walt Richardson | Jan 17, 2013 | Reviews

I come into this review a little biased: Francesco Francavilla is one of my favorites creators in the current “wave” of comic professionals. Still, I firmly believe that the first issue of “Black Beetle – No Way Out” is a stellar example why. Written and Illustrated by Francesco FrancavillaBlack Beetle’s investigation of two local mob […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. 1948 #4 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and Mark Tweedale | Jan 16, 2013 | Reviews

Welcome back to the ever-expanding world of Mignolaversity! This week we welcome a new contributor, Mark Tweedale, to our Mignolaversity crew. Mark is always quick to let us know how we’re doing with this column, as well as sharing all sorts of fun Mignolaverse news with us via Twiter, so we thought he’d be the […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #4

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 11, 2013 | Reviews

“The God Butcher” is shaping up to be an iconic Thor story, which is a testament to just how perfectly “Thor: God of Thunder” has started off. This arc does absolutely everything you’d want a solo Thor adventure to do, and adds an extra dose of deicide for good measure. Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated […]

Review: Ghost #3

By Michelle White | Jan 11, 2013 | Reviews

Hurrah for gracefully-handled origin stories! That’s certainly what we get in regards to Ghost, Dr. October, and Bobby Chambers in this issue, and for all that, nothing about this issue feels crowded or overly compressed. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick Illustrated by Phil Noto Ghost finally discovers her true name and identity! As they investigate […]

Review: Warren Ellis’ Gun Machine

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 11, 2013 | Reviews

What? A review of a book on a website about comics? That’s CRAZY! Ha. I bet I’m the first one to ever make that joke, right? A real review follows. Written by Warren Ellis Warren Ellis reimagines New York City as a puzzle with the most dangerous pieces of all: GUNS. After a shootout claims […]

Review: Fantastic Four #3

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 11, 2013 | Reviews

A few issues in, Matt Fraction’s promised pan-dimensional adventure with Marvel’s First Family has finally gotten off the ground. By the end of his 3rd issue, it still remains to be seen whether this will be a journey worth taking. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mark Bagley – A new year on a new […]

Review: The End Times of Bram and Ben #1

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 10, 2013 | Reviews

The end times are so hot right now. And by right now, I mean all throughout literary history. The idea of the end of the world is a concept so foreign, final and hypothetical, with such rich built in imagery, courtesy of the book of Revelations and other pieces of apocalyptic literature. “The End Times […]
