Review: Halloween Eve

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

Halloween and Comic Books go together like peanut butter and jelly. Where else (but a comic con) can you dress like a superhero or a monster and it’s not weird? (Okay, maybe it’s still weird at a comic con) Anyway, if we’re going along with my metaphor, “Halloween Eve” is one delicious sandwich. Written by […]

5 Thoughts on “Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan” #2

By David Harper | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

It’s NYCC week, and before I head from Alaska to NYC, here are five quick thoughts on this week’s Before Watchmen joint: Dr. Manhattan #2. Written by J. Michael Straczynski Illustrated by Adam Hughes “Lightning never strikes the same place twice, remember?” 1. Is it just me… Or was that the best single issue JMS […]

Review: Uncanny Avengers #1

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

From the ashes of “Avengers Vs. X-Men” rises…not a Phoenix! Psych! What rises is the first of the “Marvel NOW!” books, the first overt attempt to blend Marvel’s two holy families, and the reveal at the Thor loves him a latte. As a note, spoilers are discussed in the review. Written by Rick Remender Illustrated […]

Review: The Creep #2

By Walt Richardson | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

I don’t even have one of my signature witty openers. “The Creep” is just an example of great comics work. Go and buy it — but if you want more info, I guess I can write a review for you. Written by John Arcudi Illustrated by Jonathan Case The case that Oxel couldn’t give up […]

Faerber and Kuranel’s “Point of Impact” Nails the Landing [Review]

By Drew Bradley | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

We’ve talked to the writer, we’ve talked to the artist, but now “Point of Impact” #1 will either stand or fall on its own. (Hint: It does.) This will be a spoiler free review. Written by Jay Faerber Illustrated by Koray Kuranel A gripping, provocative four-part crime series from acclaimed writer Jay Faerber and stunning […]

Review: Conan the Barbarian #9

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 11, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Wood’s story-centric pseudo-follow-up to his Vertigo Viking epic “Northlanders” is here with the conclusion to the third arc and a relatively big dramatic revelation. Lace up your bootstraps and get out your broadswords — it’s Conan time. Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Vasilis Lolos Brian Wood and Vasilis Lolos’s “Border Fury” concludes, as […]

5 Thoughts on Before Watchmen: Rorschach #2 [Review]

By David Harper | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

Could the second issue be any where near as bad as the first? It falls upon me to find out. Pity me. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Lee Bermejo “Look over your shoulder. Someone is following.” And don’t miss the latest sensational chapter of the CRIMSON CORSAIR, from writer and artist JOHN HIGGINS. 1. […]

Review: Action Comics #13

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

It’s Halloween in the Fortress of Solitude and Superman’s got some pretty awful Trick-or-Treaters knocking on his door. Okay, I apologize for that. It’s not even really much of a Halloween story. Let’s just review this thing. Written by Grant Morrison Illustrated by Travel Foreman Backup written by Sholly Fisch Backup Illustrated by Brad Walker […]

Review: Detective Comics #13

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

After 11 months of the Tony Daniel show, DC has handed the reigns of their titular series to “Chew” writer John Layman and up and coming artist Jason Fabok. One of the more critically disappointing books of the New 52, “Detective Comics” had a shocking first issue and then limped along for a year under […]

Review: Southern Dog #1

By Michelle White | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

I don’t think I can write a formal intro to this review without making a terrible dog pun, so I’ll just cut to the chase: there’s this comic published by 215 Ink coming out at NYCC and it’s written by Multiversity’s own Jeremy Holt and it’s called “Southern Dog” and it’s definitely worth a read! […]

Review: Uncanny X-Men #19

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

“AvX” has ended, and young squire Vince has given you his two-cents on the finale on behalf of Multiversity. Today we’re going to look at the other half of the equation, and an issue that may be more important than the finale of the event itself. As a note, spoilers are discussed, both for this […]

Review: Non-Humans #1

By Walt Richardson | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

Toy Story meets Blade Runner? Got to say, most things I’ve read or watched that describe themselves as _______ meets Blade Runner have been awful… and I love Blade Runner! Perhaps the latest comic by Glen Brunswick and Image co-founder Whilce Portacio will break the mold, though. Written by Glen Brunswick Illustrated by Whilce Portacio […]

Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #12

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

An event so big that literally all of Marvel’s biggest writers had to be a part of it. All of Marvel’s most recognizable characters. A massive force that could potentially tear apart our world. This could have been the event to end all events. Does “Avengers Vs. X-Men” #12 deliver a satisfying conclusion or should […]

Review: Danger Club #4

By Michelle White | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

A dark story turns ever darker in this fourth issue of “Danger Club”, with Walker and Jones upping the emotional ante at every turn. If you aren’t reading this heavy and intense superhero series already, now’s the time to catch up! Written by Landry Q. Walker Illustrated by Eric Jones Chaos, blood, and betrayal all […]

Review: Daredevil – End of Days #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

Sometimes solicits can be grossly inaccurate. They’ll give teases, a hint or two of what is to come or maybe just some goofball nonsense to entice you of what is to come. The unfortunate aspect of the solicit is that, a lot of the time, they’ll give information that throws you off; it’s not purposefully […]

Review: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #1

By Walt Richardson | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

“I’m written by Andy Diggle now. Andy Diggle is cool.” Okay, the Doctor doesn’t exactly say that — maybe metaphorically, but not literally — but Diggle is cool, and a good fit for this series. Written by Andy Diggle Illustrated by Mark Buckingham and Charlie Kirchoff The Doctor is back! Welcome to a new, exciting […]

Review: Doctor Who “The Angels Take Manhattan”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 1, 2012 | Reviews

Ah, here it is. The mid-season finale, and the farewell to the Ponds. Or is it the Williams’? As a note, spoilers are discussed. Before we get into the real meat of the episode, lets discuss the elephant in the room: the Weeping Angels. In the season 3 episode “Blink,” Moffat introduced us to the […]

Review: Talon #0

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

Let’s look at the numbers: this is the fourth ‘Third Wave’ book to be released this month, the thirteenth book in the “Batman” group of books, the third DCnU book to be at least co-plotted by Scott Snyder, and the first book since the New 52 began to introduce a new creation as the main […]

Review: Justice League Dark #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

The “Dark” line of DC Comics’ New 52 has arguably been the strongest set of titles in the relaunch from a critical standpoint. There’s just so much to be gained from allowing the weird comics of the Vertigo imprint to mingle in the mainstream. So here we are in Zero Month, a perfect chance to […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man #694

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

This week sees the release of “Amazing Spider-Man” #694, the last storyline before the big push towards issue #700 and all associated changes that come along with it. I can’t think of a more clever way to start the review off, so let’s get to it. Written by Dan Slott Illustrated by Humberto Ramos * […]

Review: Dancer #5

By Michelle White | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

“Dancer” is one of those miniseries that almost seems too good to be true. Well-paced, smart, full of action, romantic in sort of a subtle and sad way, it plays out like a spy movie from the 1960s but without a vestige of cheese. Now that it’s reached its last issue, we’ve got one beautiful […]
