Review: Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity #1

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 25, 2012 | Reviews

What a long, strange trip it has been for this book about a long, strange trip. The first installment was published five years ago (that’s pre-Obama, yo) by Oni, and yet here we are with a new #1 from Image. Having not read the original Oni issue, it took me a few pages (and, in […]

Review: Mother and Son #1

By Michelle White | Oct 25, 2012 | Reviews

Science fictional comics! Those are always a wonderful three words to hear in sequence, and “Mother and Son” #1, the opening to a five-part miniseries published by GrayHaven, sure does them justice. Incorporating not one, but several science fictional concepts, and anchoring them all with an unconventional heroine and her yet more unconventional sidekick, this […]

Review: Wolverine MAX #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 25, 2012 | Reviews

Think of the characters in the Marvel Universe that are most suited for the MAX treatment. The vengeful and violent Punisher is the most obvious. Deadpool and Nick Fury felt like fitting choices for MAX books, as well. Been there, done that, and it was all mostly pretty great. The savage Wolverine seems like it […]

Review: Batman Incorporated #4

By Walt Richardson | Oct 25, 2012 | Reviews

Comics legend Grant Morrison’s ongoing superhero comics are ever so quickly approaching their conclusions, but until then we still have “Action Comics” to enj– …well, we still have “Batman Incorporated” to enjoy! Written by Grant Morrison Illustrated by Chris Burnham– BATMAN and TALIA AL GHUL continue their fight for control of their son DAMIAN — […]

Review: Journey into Mystery #645

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 25, 2012 | Reviews

Since its inception, we at Multiversity have done our best to promote “Journey into Mystery.” Continuing Gillen’s short but entertaining run on “Thor” and ending up upraising it’s sister title in many ways, “JiM” has developed a major and steady fanbase for the world Gillen has created. And now he’s going to ruin everything. As […]

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

By David Harper | Oct 24, 2012 | Reviews

Our cast is stump deep in the prison now. How does the episode flow now that we’re in a place that isn’t an insanely boring farm? Let’s find out. 1. Everything with the prisoners is great I love the prisoners, and, to be more specific, I love what they do to the cast. It seems […]

5 Thoughts on “Before Watchmen: Minutemen” #4

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 19, 2012 | Reviews

We are now more than halfway through the “Before Watchmen” experiment, and it is easier than ever to distinguish the works worth reading and those not. This is one of the good ones. Written and Illustrated by Darwyn Cooke “You tell them, Hollis. Tell them all what they did to us!” 1. Subtext? What is […]

Review: DC Universe Presents #13

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 19, 2012 | Reviews

“DC Universe Presents” kicks off its fourth arc with an odd pairing of two C-list characters who, in the past, have had success more as team players than as solo stars. This book has become a really odd showcase; the initial Deadman arc took a character many know and love and reintroduced him in the […]

Review: It Girl and the Atomics #3

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 19, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of “It Girl and the Atomics” got off to a slow start, despite stellar Mike Norton art and a pretty good adherence to Mike Allred’s wacky “Madman” universe. The plot has found its legs by now, but has the book hit any sort of stride yet? Written by Jamie S. Rich Illustrated […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Honor Thy Father” [Review]

By James Johnston | Oct 19, 2012 | Reviews

1). This show should come out of it’s “hero” shell. This week’s main villain was, once again, crappy Lex Luthor but with hair this time. Now, as a show that’s trying very hard to be like the Nolan Batman series, it makes perfect sense for Arrow to focus on the street-level/corporate crime that made Batman Begins and The Dark Knight huge […]

Review: Batwoman #13

By Michelle White | Oct 19, 2012 | Reviews

As the epic Batwoman/Wonder Woman crossover storyline continues, things continue on surprisingly well for this title. I might even be saying the same if Williams weren’t providing the artwork, as excellent as it is. The story, crossover content be damned, is actually quite well anchored, moving along in a slow and believable fashion and never […]

Review: Hawkeye #3

By Walt Richardson | Oct 19, 2012 | Reviews

What do you do after you introduce new-found fans to one of your less flashy, but still rife with potential, characters through a supporting role in one of the biggest summer blockbusters of all time? Yeah, I was going to say put together a creative team that everyone has been waiting to see reunited on […]

Review: Ex Sanguine #1

By Michelle White | Oct 18, 2012 | Reviews

I think it’s safe to say that many of us here at Multiversity were looking forward to the latest from Tim Seeley; his work on “Revival” is enough reason to buy anything. That said, Seeley and collaborator Joshua Scott Emmons are going for a decidedly different feel with “Ex Sanguine”, and those expecting the subtle […]

Review: Wonder Woman #13

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 18, 2012 | Reviews

More than any other superhero book currently being published, “Wonder Woman” is a soap opera. Tales of familial jealousy, betrayal, switching allegiances and mysterious pregnancy were scattered throughout the first arc. There are flashy locales, brawls between scorned lovers, secrets kept from birth, and more trash-talking than an episode of The Real Housewives of New […]

Review: Sword of Sorcery #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 18, 2012 | Reviews

“Sword of Sorcery” did enough last month to deserve another look. This month, both books offer some surprises that weren’t prevalent in their earlier installments, but also set up some hurdles that they’ll need to jump over to tell successful stories. Warning: The following review contains blood, bile, and weird robo-trolls. Written by Christy Marx […]

Review: Marvel NOW! Point One

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 18, 2012 | Reviews

Are you read to get on with this? No? How about now? How about… now? How about … now? Well that was a fun joke. Let’s do a review. Written by Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, Jeph Loeb, Nick Spencer, Kieron Gillen and Dennis Hopeless Illustrated by Steve McNiven, Michael Allred, Ed McGuinness, Luke Ross, […]

Five Thoughts On The Walking Dead’s “Seed” [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 16, 2012 | Reviews

It’s been a good while since we had an episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead, which meant one of two things would happen: it’d lose a decent portion of its audience, or it’d blow up. It did the latter when Sunday’s episode “Seed” premiered and it made it rain GRP’s. But with previews once again […]

Review: Batman #13

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 12, 2012 | Reviews

There’s a storm coming. And while the opening pages of “Batman #13” make that abundantly clear, thank the new gods that Scott Snyder stays away from that and any other cliches when it comes to kicking off his Joker opus. A Joker that feels perfect, while not being quite exactly like any other Joker we’ve […]

Review: Deadhorse #5

By Michelle White | Oct 12, 2012 | Reviews

Wacky — now there’s a word I don’t use very often. But what other word could describe a comic that features, among other things, a mysterious key, an ominous puppet, and a down-on-his-luck hired killer dressed up as a sasquatch? Lucky for us, the wackiness of this 215 Ink-published series is anchored by some wonderful […]

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

By James Johnston | Oct 12, 2012 | Reviews

1). The premise is fantastic. Arrow is trying really hard to set itself apart from the super hero crowd, a point that will be elaborated on later. One way they’re hoping to accomplish this is by making Ollie Queen, not necessarily a hero, but a morally and mentally questionable vigilante. Sure, he may be looking […]

Review: Five Ghosts #1

By Michelle White | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

What could be better than an innovative self-published miniseries that’s all set to debut at NYCC this week? A really, really good innovative self-published miniseries that’s all set to debut at NYCC. Seriously, if you plan to be a part of the craziness these next couple days, this stylish and action-packed comic should definitely be […]
