Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #11

By David Harper | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

Ugh. Ed. Note: This review contains spoilers, but probably spoilers you’ve already heard. If not, you’ve been warned. Written by Brian Bendis Illustrated by Olivier Coipel The biggest comics event of the summer hits it’s red hot penultimate chapter as Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Avengers VS. X-Men #11! From the […]

Review: Batman #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 14, 2012 | Reviews

If you’re reading this website, you know Batman’s origin. You’ve probably seen several different variations on it throughout the years. Some of these takes are of such quality that they can be considered definitive (see: Frank Miller’s Year One). Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo mercifully take the opportunity to show us something we haven’t seen […]

Review: Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Last month, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee gave us a beautiful opening to their Rocketeer miniseries. And though they nailed the world of the principle characters, we only barely got a hint of the titular cargo. Thankfully, they definitely brought the promised “doom” this time around. Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Chris Samnee The […]

Review: Memoir #6

By Michelle White | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Having been released over the course of almost two years, this six-issue mini from Image Comics has finally reached its end. Putting forth some big reveals but leaving some questions up in the air (and there are rumours of another series from this team), does the final issue of “Memoir” round off the first five […]

Review: Conan the Barbarian # 8

By Matthew Boren | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

This book has been garnering a ton of praise, and not all of it from contributors for this website. Yes many of us are unabashed Brian Wood fans, but that is because he writes fantastic comics. With preferred partner-in-crime Becky Cloonan by his side, “Conan the Barbarian” has been an epic saga so far. There […]

Review: Doctor Strange Season One

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Full disclosure: I have a soft spot for Doctor Strange. I am a huge fan of Emma Rios’ art. I am almost guaranteed to be biased and enjoy this book. I’m going to remain 100% objective, though. Promise. Written by Greg Pak Illustrated by Emma Rios A window-crashing, high-flying, globe-traveling, ghost-battling adventure from the earliest […]

Review: Stumptown Vol. 2 #1

By Walt Richardson | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

It has been approximately two years since the last issue of the first “Stumptown” miniseries, ‘The Case of the Girl Who Took Her Shampoo but Left Her Mini.’ This week, the intrepid detective Dex begins her next case, ‘The Case of the Baby in the Velvet Case.’ Don’t let the title deceive you, though; this […]

Review: Doctor Who “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 10, 2012 | Reviews

So, “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.” With a name like that and the ever-disappointing memory of Snakes on a Plane (OK, it wasn’t that bad, but it certainly wasn’t good), it’s probably best to set expectations pretty low on the second episode of this new season, right? Wrong. Absolutely wrong. You wouldn’t expect it, but it […]

Review: Hawkeye #2

By David Harper | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Marvel’s biggest archery enthusiast has his own book with an elite creative team. Does it continue to fly straight after a strong start? Let’s take a look. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Dave Aja What you need to know: Fraction. Aja. Hawkeye. Kate Bishop. Cars. Guns. * Stealing from the rich never looked so […]

5 Thoughts on “Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre” #3

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner are back with the third installment of the trippy, hippie extravaganza that is “Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre” This week, “5 Thoughts” is brought to you by the Letter “L.” Written by Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner Illustrated by Amanda Conner “San Francisco, baby. The best part of the trip…is the […]

Review: Phantom Stranger #0

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Dan DiDio’s first written series of the New 52 was a surprising amount of fun, and was admittedly one of the more interesting books to follow along with up to it’s cancellation. Apparently DiDio caught the writing bug, and now he’s helming a new book — but this one is “important” to “continuity!” Oh my! […]

Review: Stormwatch # 0

By Matthew Boren | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

In its many iterations, “Stormwatch” has been around since most of us here at Multiversity were young’uns. The book has seen several different lives, starting as a pretty generic teambook in the early ninties, to rocking people’s faces off under the pen of Warren Ellis, then transforming into “The Authority.” A few more iterations occured, […]

Review: Fashion Beast #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

Though Alan Moore’s name is the largest on the cover, this is actually an Antony Johnston comic adaptation of a movie script Moore wrote back in the 1980’s. Much has been made of the fact that Moore wrote this around the same time he was writing his seminal work, “Watchmen.” If the first issue is […]

Review: Harvest #2

By Michelle White | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews

A miniseries about the underground organ market from Shadowline has got to be chilling as anything, and now on its second issue out of five, “Harvest” continues to bring the intelligent and well-paced horror. Written by A.J. Lieberman Illustrated by Colin Lorimer As Dr. Benjamin Dane continues his plunge down the rabbit hole that is […]

Review: Action Comics #0

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

One of the “can’t miss” prospects of the New 52 was Grant Morrison on “Action Comics.” His pitch seemed to be focused, he had Rags Morales on board, and was working five years out of continuity, so he could set the status quo for the character without having to have editorial too involved. And then […]

Review: Guarding the Globe v2 #1

By Matthew Boren | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

If you are expecting all-out, over-the-top action, “Guarding the Globe” will suprise you. This number one steers away from the Michael Bey territory, and plays up the Joss Whedon approach to writing characters and drama. Written by Phil Hester Illustrated by Todd Nauck The Guardians of the Globe are BACK in an all-new, all-exciting ongoing […]

Review: Hell Yeah #5

By Michelle White | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

“Hell Yeah” is kind of a weird comic. It has a superhero premise, sure, but these past four issues it’s played out more like a parallel worlds story that happens to have some superheroes in it. It also makes a lot of nods toward hipster culture, taking place in Portland and setting at its forefront […]

Review: Dial H #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

Zero Month strikes the weird world of “Dial H.” It’s definitely an origin story for the dial, but does it work as a jump-on point for new readers? Did we even need this issue in the first place? Written by China Mieville Illustrated by Riccardo Burchielli – One of the first users of the H […]

Review: Green Lantern #0

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

DC’s line of #0 comics is launching, and you know what that means: it’s Sass O’ Clock here in Review Land! Naw, I kid. We’ll look at this as objectively as possible, with only mild spoilers to some of the details surrounding our new Green Lantern. Written by Geoff Johns Illustrated by Doug Mahnke PROLOGUE TO […]

Review: Thief of Thieves #8

By Walt Richardson | Sep 6, 2012 | Reviews

The debut arc of Robert Kirkman’s “Thief of Thieves,” written by Nick Spencer, was well-received by critics. The real question, though, for this new kind of comic, is whether it can keep its momentum going with second writer James Asmus. Written by James Asmus and Robert Kirman Illustrated by Shawn Martinbrough Redmond’s big heist did […]

Review: Doctor Who “Asylum of the Daleks”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 4, 2012 | Reviews

Series 7 of the new Doctor Who launched this past weekend, and now that our long-weekend is over I suppose we have to talk about it, right? Alright. As a note, spoilers are certainly discussed. Big ones at that. You’ve had a few days to watch the episode, but if you have not watched it […]
