Review: Iron Man #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 8, 2012 | Reviews

Let’s face it – Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca’s collected run on “Invincible Iron Man” is a powerhouse of a book. It’s easily one of the best runs in comics Marvel has put out in the last five years from start to finish, and it helped make Iron Man a major player in the Marvel […]

Review: Colder #1

By Walt Richardson | Nov 8, 2012 | Reviews

This week, “Colder” got special treatment because of its frankly disturbing as all get-out cover (which is why we loved it). Of course, as the old maxim goes, you can’t judge a book by the man feeling the inside of his face on its cover, and so we just had to pick it up and […]

Valiant (Re)visions: Shadowman #1 [Review]

On the latest edition of Valiant (Re)visions, our team tackles the latest (and maybe greatest) debut issue, in the form of Justin Jordan and Patrick Zircher’s Shadowman #1!!! Written by Justin Jordan and Patrick Zircher Illustrated by Patrick Zircher The next epic expansion of the Valiant Universe starts this November in a new ongoing series […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “An Innocent Man” [Review]

By James Johnston | Nov 5, 2012 | Reviews

This week on Arrow: Ollie tells the justice system to kiss his butt as he goes about collecting evidence in the worst way possible. Spoilers ahead! Before I start recapping and reviewing, I’d like to apologize for the lateness of this review. My power went out due to Hurricane Sandy and was just restored this […]

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

By David Harper | Nov 5, 2012 | Reviews

We are on an uncanny streak of two straight great episodes – could the team behind cable ratings behemoth “The Walking Dead” make it all the way to the trifecta. Let’s find out below in my review, as I share five thoughts on last night’s episode, titled “Killer Within.” Heavy spoilers are to follow if […]

Review: Justice League Dark Annual #1

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 2, 2012 | Reviews

“Justice League Dark” ends its second arc, and first by writer Jeff Lemire, with an oversized annual. The extra size is used not only to finish this story, but to cover the expanded lineup of the team, which grows by three new members (all of whom carry their own titles). But more importantly, the tone […]

Review: Lot 13 #1

By Michelle White | Nov 2, 2012 | Reviews

You’ve read haunted house stories. You’ve read haunted hotel stories. How about a haunted furnished apartment story? That’s the plot of “Lot 13” from DC Comics in a nutshell, and while things feel a touch superficial in the first instalment of this four-issue miniseries, the horror most definitely makes an appearance. Written by Steve Niles […]

Review: Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #3

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 2, 2012 | Reviews

Last time around, the “Cargo of Doom” was revealed in full and the results were, well, completely unexpected. This issue may not contain something as insane as dinosaurs flying around on jetpacks, but there’s still plenty here to like. Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Chris Samnee The mysterious cargo is finally revealed and Cliff […]

Review: Ghosts

By Walt Richardson | Nov 2, 2012 | Reviews

The latest in Vertigo’s line of one-shot anthologies, “Ghosts” has a spooky theme to fit the week, though much of the book doesn’t actually qualify as horror at all. How does this one stand up to its predecessors, “Strange Adventures” and “Mystery in Space”? Written and Illustrated by Various Check out this all-new anthology from […]

Review: A+X #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 1, 2012 | Reviews

The “AvX: Versus” miniseries gave everything you could want if you’re a fan of beat-’em-up comics that don’t go any deeper than the paper they’re printed on. That said, anyone looking for absolutely anything more than explosions & punching must have felt like they were turned upside-down and had the $3.99 shaken out of their […]

Review: Batman Li’l Gotham #1

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 1, 2012 | Reviews

DC surprised readers on Tuesday when they announced “Batman Li’l Gotham,” a new digital first series of holiday specials from the mind of Dustin Nguyen (with an assist from Derek Fridolfs), especially because the first installment dropped the very next day. “Halloween” is a tale of Bruce and Damian out on patrol on All Hallow’s […]

Monkeybrain Weekly: Week of 10/30/12 [Reviews]

By David Harper | Nov 1, 2012 | Reviews

Welcome to the first edition of Monkeybrain Weekly. Going forward, we’re going to be giving everyone a weekly look at what’s going on at Monkeybrain Comics, because we’re big fans of their work, both in comics and just in their practices as a business. It’s a big week to kick off on, as Halloween is […]

Review: The New Deadwardians #8

By Michelle White | Nov 1, 2012 | Reviews

There’s something nerve-wracking about reading the last issue of a series you’ve come to love. The expectations are piled up so high that anything less than awesome can feel like a major disappointment. Happily, while things do come together a bit tidily (and they are liable to do so in a miniseries, where the plotting […]

Review: Bedlam #1

By Walt Richardson | Nov 1, 2012 | Reviews

One of Multiversity’s favorite writers and one of Multiversity’s favorite artists working together? Yeah, no way this will get a favorable review. Written by Nick Spencer Illustrated by Riley Rossmo Fillmore Press was once Madder Red, a homicidal maniac and criminal overlord who terrorized the town of Bedlam for years. Then he got better. This […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Walk With Me” [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 29, 2012 | Reviews

Coming off one of the best episodes of the series so far, how does The Walking Dead do at keeping up the momentum? Especially with Rick and friends absent this entire episode. Let’s find out below. 1. AWW YEAH THE GOVERNOR! I didn’t know much about David Morrisey before he was cast as The Governor. […]

Review: Red Lanterns #13

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 26, 2012 | Reviews

This is, technically, the fourth installment of ‘Rise of the Third Army,’ and thus far each of the Lantern titles in the crossover have had a remarkably similar pattern. Continuing old storyline for 2/3 of the book and then BLAM!, in come the Third Army. While this is a good technique for people not reading […]

Review: Punisher: War Zone #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 26, 2012 | Reviews

As an ongoing solo title, Greg Rucka’s “Punisher” came to a superb end last month. While there were plenty of story threads left rife with possibilities, issues #15 & #16 contained bittersweet resolutions to some of the major relationships in the series. With the much-teased “War Zone”, Rucka’s story continues, but from a new angle. […]

Review: The Gathering, Infinite Abyss

By Michelle White | Oct 26, 2012 | Reviews

The third horror anthology from GrayHaven Comics (and the fourteenth issue overall of GrayHaven’s anthology series “The Gathering”), “Tales From the Abyss” is, like all anthologies, something of a heady mix. While all the stories in here are indeed on the scary side of things, there’s such a variety of approach and technique in these […]

Review: Bravest Warriors #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 26, 2012 | Reviews

“Adventure Time” #1 is one of the few titles at Multiversity to have received a perfect score (one of only two that I’ve personally given out this year), so it would stand to reason that a new comic from the mind of Pendleton Ward would earn another Perfect 10. Right? Written by Joey Comeau Illustrated […]

Review: National Comics – Madame X

By Walt Richardson | Oct 26, 2012 | Reviews

Madame Xanadu? But isn’t she in “Justice League Dark” and “Demon Knights?” Quiet, you. Just look at the lovely Fiona Staples cover and forget ever caring about things like continuity — and then continue to read the review, of course. Written by Rob Williams Illustrated by Trevor Hairsine – The once-famous tarot card reader Madame […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Lone Gunmen” [Review]

By James Johnston | Oct 25, 2012 | Reviews

1.) This episode had the best plot so far. The main problem with Arrow at this point had been how of the two episodes shown; both involved Arrow hunting down corrupt businessmen while a D-List villain took two seconds out of Ollie’s day to be defeated. This week it’s all different, the villain is now a C-Lister! […]
