Review: Night Force #4

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

It’s hard to get mad at DC for trying to keep its living legends happy. Guys like Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Len Wein continue to do work for the company they helped build, and for their part, DC tries to throw them a bone here and there, usually in the form of […]

Review: Before Watchmen: Minutemen #1

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

The first of the “Before Watchmen” miniseries has begun! Can Darwyn Cooke use his immense talents to make this comic more than just a marketing ploy? David and Brian know! Written and Illustrated by Darwyn Cooke “Little did we know that poor boy would lead to the end of us all.” Plus: Don’t miss the […]

Review: Dial H #2

By Walt Richardson | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

Most reviews of “Dial Hero” #1 made it out to be reminiscent of the Vertigo comics of the late 80’s and early 90’s. In fact, that is why I, as a reader rather than a critic, picked it up in the first place — that era is, as the kids say, “my jam.” After reading […]

Review: Extermination #1 [with Preview]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

“Irredeemable,” BOOM! Studio’s hot-selling superhero pastiche, is over. It’s ending leaves a bit of a void in many pulls for a dark super-title which plays off some familiar tropes in a new and decidedly dark way, finding many fans wondering where they’re going to get their next fix from. Well, ladies and gentlemen, do I […]

Review: Dark Avengers #175

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

The band remains the same but the song title changes as we move from “Thunderbolts” to “Dark Avengers.” But what does that mean? Is nothing ever going to be the same? Has “AvX” fallout begun? Is it just a marketing gimmick? Is up now down? Let’s figure it out. Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by […]

Double Shot Review: Swamp Thing #10/Animal Man #10

By Gilbert Short | Jun 7, 2012 | Reviews

There’s something rotten in the state of…wherever Swamp Thing and Animal Man are at this point! Puns aside, the two franchises are kicking it up a notch in preparation for their upcoming crossover. The stakes have certainly been raised, with both characters at their most vulnerable. But where have we found ourselves this week? Let’s […]

Review: Worlds’ Finest #2

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 7, 2012 | Reviews

Last month, the superstar team of Paul Levitz, George PÃ©rez and Kevin Maguire launched “Worlds’ Finest,” the tale of Earth 2’s displaced Robin and Supergirl, known to us as Huntress (Helena Wayne) and Power Girl (Karen Starr). The first issue was packed with character detail, informative flashback scenes, beautiful art, and an exciting cliffhanger. The […]

Review: Creator Owned Heroes #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 7, 2012 | Reviews

A bevy of talented folk team-up for a brand new comic magazine at Image Comics. You get two stories for the average price of one, and more! Don’t you just love a bargain? Written by Steve Niles, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray Illustrated by Kevin Mellon and Phil Noto “AMERICAN MUSCLE,” Part One by STEVE […]

Secret #2 Cover

Review: Secret #2

By Walt Richardson | Jun 7, 2012 | Reviews

The Internet is so abuzz regarding Jonathan Hickman’s “Manhattan Projects” that it seems to have forgotten “Secret” already, even though it is only moving into its second issue this week. I, on the other hand, was greatly impressed by the debut of “Secret,” and awaited the second issue with bated breath. Written by Jonathan Hickman […]

Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “Valar Morghulis”

By David Harper | Jun 4, 2012 | Reviews

I’m so insanely bummed out. Season two of HBO’s Game of Thrones ended last night, and now I am going to have to wait god knows how long to get more. Saddest of all pandas. Anyways, my five thoughts on the season finale, titled “Valar Morghulis,” can be found below. 1. Whoa. Now that was […]

Review: The Ravagers #1

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

Out of ‘The Culling’ comes “The Ravagers,” a third series in the Young Justice line dedicated to the Teen Titans in some capacity (along with “Teen Titans” and “Superboy”). The book features some familiar faces in new formats, a few new creations, and lots of weird, neon accented costumes. It also has a tone that […]

Animal Man Annual Cover

Review: Animal Man Annual #1

By Gilbert Short | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

It’s the history of The Red, The Green, and The Rot! It’s been a big story in both “Animal Man” and “Swamp Thing,” but now we get some context for their roles in the Red and Green, respectively; along with their relationship with the Rot and how they balance. Let’s see if it was worth […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man Annual #39

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Reed is back to writing the Marvel Universe after far too long an absence! After spending a good deal of time with Marvel’s “Halo” books (which I’ll admit I don’t read as someone who doesn’t play Halo), I’m happy to editorialize a bit in my introduction here and say that I was thrilled to […]

Review: FF #18

By Walt Richardson | Jun 1, 2012 | Reviews

What, you thought Hickman was done a few issues ago? Not so — sure, his master plan for the Fantastic Four may have finally wrapped up a couple of months ago, but he is staying on the title until the end of “Avengers Versus X-Men,” telling a variety of one-and-done stories in both “Fantastic Four” […]

Review: Superman Family Adventures #1

By Chad Bowers | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

This week, the fan-favorite creators of “Tiny Titans”, Art Baltazar and Franco, kickoff a brand new all ages title focusing an entirely different group of superheroes. “Superman Family Adventures” #1 re-introduces (they first appeared in “Tiny Titans” #50) the entire “tiny” versions of Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto in an escapade that’s as funny as […]

Review: Batman Annual #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

DC’s first wave of annuals are here, with critical favorites “Animal Man” and “Batman” being the first to get the extended treatment. This 38 page Mr. Freeze-centric story is not really a Batman story, for a couple of reasons, but regardless how it is labeled, is it worth your $4.99? Be warned, there are spoilers […]

Review: X-Men #29

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

Victor Gischler writes one final issue (before handing that baton to Brian Wood) of the adjectiveless “X-Men” book he started in 2010 with Paco Medina. From vampires to sentinels and assassins, the book has run the gambit with its stories and it all ends with a Skrull-tastic showdown. Written by Victor Gischler Illustrated by Will […]

American Vampire #27 Cover

Review: American Vampire #27

By Walt Richardson | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

In a last-minute substitution, Italian artist Riccardo Burchielli has replaced Roger Cruz to tell the story of Calvin Poole, the kind-of-but-not-really Shaft of the vampires. In fact, the only real similarity is that they are both black and bad mother-shut-your-mouths. Burchielli wowed Multiversity with his work on “DMZ,” but will he be able to do […]

We’re back with another thrilling installment of Mignolaversity! This week, we get a one-shot that looks back on a time when Hellboy and Dr. O’Donnell went to get some books.

Check out five thoughts on this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, titled “Blackwater,” below. 1. “Any man dies with a clean sword I’ll rape his fucking corpse.” – The Hound That is all. 2.
