Review: Point of Impact #2

By Michelle White | Nov 16, 2012 | Reviews

Distinguished by some great-looking art, Image miniseries “Point of Impact” is proving to be a stylish if slightly superficial police procedural. Written by Jay Faerber Illustrated by Koray Kuranel Chapter Two of JAY FAERBER’s thrilling murder mystery! The victim’s secret boyfriend is the prime suspect in her murder – and the cop leading the investigation […]

Review: Avengers Assemble #9

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 16, 2012 | Reviews

First things first: if you’re looking for the answer of whether or not you should buy this book with the new creative team, then the answer is quite simple — yes. Yes, you absolutely should. Buy it, read it, love it, laugh with it, enjoy it, share it. If you need more than that, there’s […]

Review: X-Men Legacy #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 16, 2012 | Reviews

Take a fringe character in Charles Xavier’s son Legion and pair him with a Brian Michael Bendis “Moon Knight” meets “Dial H” premise and you have a book that sounds like a longshot to become an enduring hit. That won’t stop it from being a great book, but a few other elements present in issue […]

Review: Great Pacific #1

By Walt Richardson | Nov 16, 2012 | Reviews

Boy is it a good year to be one of the “crazies” who think we are destroying our planet and that we are soon going to be living on a planet no longer equipped to nourish us. I mean, yeah, that’s all awful, but at least we are getting good comics from creators with similar […]

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

By James Johnston | Nov 15, 2012 | Reviews

This week on Arrow: The Royal Flush Gang, everyone’s favorite bank robbing crew with a poker related theme, arrive in Star City, starting a crime spree. 1.) The Royal Flush Gang redesign is really great. Following Deadshot’s Gigantic Gentleman’s Monocle (which, to be fair, was spectacular for all the wrong reasons) and Deathstroke’s “Why Is […]

Review: Peter Peterfaust #7

By Michelle White | Nov 15, 2012 | Reviews

If you consider yourself a fanzerfaust of Peter Panzerfaust (not even gonna apologize for that one), there’s no doubt you’ve been eagerly awaiting Tiger Lily’s appearance. Well, the wait is over, and she gets a hell of an entrance. (The overall issue ain’t too shabby either.) Written by Kurtis J. Wiebe Illustrated by Tyler Jenkins […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 15, 2012 | Reviews

Jason Aaron has proven his knack for writing a hard-boiled drama and warrior mentality in books like “Wolverine” and “Punisher MAX.” He’s honing his underrated comedy muscles every month in “Wolverine and the X-Men.” With that in mind, who better than to write the mightiest warrior god in comic history, who hacks at his enemies […]

Review: All-New X-Men #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 15, 2012 | Reviews

I’ll admit: this is one of those titles I was entirely skeptical on. Oh, sure, I’d read it because I’ll give anything a chance and I love superhero comics (no need to pretend otherwise), but the X-Men of yesterday visiting and shaming the X-Men of today? Eh. Not exactly anything to get excited about in […]

Review: Fantastic Four #1

By Walt Richardson | Nov 15, 2012 | Reviews

The Marvel NOW! madness continues as Matt Fraction attempts to follow up one of the most critically loved “Fantastic Four” runs of all time. Switch some names around, and that sentence could be used for a good amount of these new titles. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mark Bagley Marvel Now! begins for Marvel’s […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Say the Word” [Review]

By David Harper | Nov 12, 2012 | Reviews

Last night’s The Walking Dead comes on the toes of another top notch episode that just so happened to feature (in my opinion) two major deaths. How did they follow that up? You can find out below. As a note: things from the comic AND from the preview for next week are discussed in this […]

Review: Worlds’ Finest #6

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 9, 2012 | Reviews

“World’s Finest” has evolved a lot in a short amount of time, finding its themes expanded upon, its characters more fleshed out, and, retroactively, given some credence to the horrid “Mister Terrific” series. How did the companion series to “Earth 2” get so good? Written by Paul Levitz Illustrated by Kevin Maguire and George PÃ©rez […]

Review: Before Watchmen: Moloch #1

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Nov 9, 2012 | Reviews

And the minis just keep on coming! When this series was announced, many of us at Multiversity groaned and complained of yet another unnecessary, probably poorly done, miniseries. Were we too quick to judge? Written by J. Michael Straczynski Illustrated by Eduardo Risso “We are doing great things here, Edgar. Amazing things.” Brian: Well, DC […]

Review: Harvest #4

By Michelle White | Nov 9, 2012 | Reviews

I’ve already said plenty of good things about “Harvest”, so it may not be surprising that this issue gets another “Buy” rating from me. What is surprising is how completely fresh and compelling each issue in this series has been, and how that dire feeling of tension and guilt has never once let up. “Harvest” […]

Reviews: AvX: Consequences #5

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 9, 2012 | Reviews

What I thought we would get from Marvel was another post-event “fallout” miniseries of little consequence – pardon the pun. As if tacking another “AvX” onto something could be anything other than a cash grab. After all, they did the same thing with “Fear Itself” and it was pretty much more of what readers didn’t […]

Review: Sweet Tooth #39

By Walt Richardson | Nov 9, 2012 | Reviews

Here’s where it happens. In a fan-favorite series such as “Sweet Tooth,” a lot is banking on the second-to-last issue. Does Lemire pull through, or succumb to the pressure? Written and Illustrated by Jeff Lemire At long last, Gus and Jepperd’s long hard journey comes to its bloody and shocking end. Jepperd and Abbot have […]

Review: Defenders #12

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 9, 2012 | Reviews

It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel… fine? Review below. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mirco Pierfederici – Series finale! The end of the Defenders! – All your […]

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

By James Johnston | Nov 8, 2012 | Reviews

This week on Arrow: Ollie goes on trial for his vigilante actions while more flashbacks to the island! Spoilers! 1.) I don’t think that’s how the justice system works. After last week’s cliffhanger, where Ollie was arrested by Quentin Lance, the only detective in Starling City, for being Arrow, Queen is put under house arrest […]

Review: Storm Dogs #1

By Michelle White | Nov 8, 2012 | Reviews

A science fictional miniseries from Image Comics is always something to look forward to, but what “Storm Dogs” #1 brings to the table is more conventional than you might expect. However, that may be the only flaw here: this issue is full of strong writing and gorgeous art. Written by David Hine Illustrated by Doug […]

Review: Deadpool #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 8, 2012 | Reviews

Deadpool is reaching critical mass levels of popularity. He’s got a movie & a video game in the works and is currently being seen all over the Marvel universe in cameo appearances, miniseries, and as a crucial part of team books. Yet still, Daniel Way’s ongoing “Deadpool” series seemed to have been the odd man […]
