Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 10, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Before we begin, a few notes: I have not read the “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” manga, or watched the anime. (If you’re interested in a look at the whole comic, I recommend clicking here.) This review is written from the perspective doubtless shared by many of the viewers who propelled the film to become […]

“Zero Hour”: A Crisis In Recapping, Part 3

By Rowan Grover | Sep 9, 2021 | Reviews

Folks, you’ve heard about it whispered in the corners of DC fandom. You’ve been confused at the odd reference to it in those “modern comics” you devour week after week. What in the darned heck is “Zero Hour”? Why is it called that? Why is it numbered backward? Who is Extant and should I really […]

“Asterix and the Cauldron” and “Asterix in Spain”

By Matthew Blair | Sep 9, 2021 | Reviews

If you’re ever in the mood for more Franco Belgian comic books and don’t know where to start there’s always the other big title that gets a lot of attention: “The Adventures of TIntin”. It’s the same format as the Asterix books and has nearly as many titles. The difference is that Tintin is more […]

“Star Trek: The Mirror War” #0

By Joe Skonce | Sep 9, 2021 | Reviews

Of the many stories that Star Trek has introduced over its many franchises, one of the most enduringly popular is the concept of the “mirror universe,” an alternate dimension where instead of a peaceful federation of diplomacy and compromise, there is a brutal empire of conquest and coercion. While this certainly isn’t the only example […]

“Avatar: The Last Airbender—Suki, Alone”

By Paul Lai and Mark Tweedale | Sep 8, 2021 | Reviews

“Avatar: The Last Airbender—Suki, Alone” is the third of a series of one-shots focused on single characters, forming a sort of trilogy showcasing strong women. And yet it is a marked departure from the other two in terms of tone. The others were primarily comedic, whereas ‘Suki, Alone’ is contemplative. With the recently announced Avatar […]

“Star Wars: Darth Vader Annual” #1

By Kate Kosturski | Sep 7, 2021 | Reviews

It’s time for the “Star Wars: Darth Vader” Annual, which like other “Star Wars” annuals we’ve reviewed, appears in a publication order that doesn’t make sense. But what it does do well is set up the next story arc of the series. Written by Kieron Gillen Penciled by Leinil Yu Inked by Gerry Alanguilan Colored […]

The Webcomics Weekly #153: Three Years Strong (9/7/2021 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 7, 2021 | Reviews

Can you believe we've been doing this for three years? OK, it's not exact but next week's issue will already be into our fourth year, even counting the mistaken date we titled the article with. Ah, youth. We'd never make a mistake like that again...right?

“Green Goblin” #10

By Chris Cole | Sep 6, 2021 | Reviews

Last issue closed with Phil moving on from Lynn, possibly striking up a relationship with his “bud” Merry. The issue before closed Liz Osborn’s investigation into the new Goblin just as it was getting started. How much of that is just nature story closure versus tying up loose ends before cancellation I’m honestly not sure. […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 9/1/21

By Multiversity Staff | Sep 6, 2021 | Reviews

There’s a lot to cover on Wednesdays. We should know, as collectively, we read an insane amount of comics. Even with a large review staff, it’s hard to get to everything. With that in mind, we’re back with Wrapping Wednesday, where we look at some of the books we missed in what was another great […]

“Copperhead” #15-16

By Jim Malakwen | Sep 5, 2021 | Reviews

After four underwhelming issues, it began to look like this series was losing its mojo. One sympathises with the book’s creators. It can’t be easy juggling multiple projects, long delays between instalments and the departure of the primary artist. Such challenges are bound to have an effect on the storytelling and thus adversely influence the […]

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 3, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

This is a spoiler-free review, but we will disclose that there is a mid-credits and a post-credits scene. Over the past decade or so, Marvel Studios have produced consistently good-to-great superhero films, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — the studio’s first with an Asian writer/director and lead cast — is no […]

“Telepaths” #1

By Alexander Jones | Sep 3, 2021 | Reviews

J. Michael Straczynski wrote excellent comic books at Marvel in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Straczynski’s “Thor” and early stories in “The Amazing Spider-Man” are worth every bit of praise shared from readers. Since then Straczynski has written lots of titles outside Marvel and DC. The Artists, Writers & Artisans imprint has been home […]

“Almost American” #1

By Matthew Blair | Sep 2, 2021 | Reviews

Did you know that none of the actors who have ever played James Bond would have made it as a spy in real life? Seriously, all of them are too good looking and have an annoying habit of standing out in a crowd; which is a trait that could get you either killed or incapable […]

“Gamayun Tales II: The Golden Apples”

By Luke Cornelius | Sep 2, 2021 | Reviews

[Featured artwork by Alexander Utkin] Welcome back to our Summer Comics Binge of Alexander Utkin’s Eisner-nominated series “Gamayun Tales,” where I’m reading through all five stories that make up the collection of modernized Russian folk tales so far. “Gamayun Tales I” was initially released in individual hardback editions, with one story per book, before being […]

“Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield” and “Asterix at the Olympic Games”

By Matthew Blair | Sep 2, 2021 | Reviews

Fun fact: the Asterix books have proven to be so popular with French audiences that they opened up an Asterix themed amusement park named “Parc Asterix” in 1989. It’s around 30 miles north of Paris and from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty fun. If you ever find yourself visiting France (as one does) it might […]

The Webcomics Weekly #152: The New One Hundred and Fifty Two (8/31/2021 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 31, 2021 | Reviews

After 151 weeks (or there abouts) I can finally make a decades old joke about a publishing initiative by DC! My obsessive sense of humor aside, this week we have a look at wish fulfillment with “Wishlist.” The oddly named “After the End,” because if it were the end, it would be finished. We start […]

“Star Wars: Vader Down” (Part 2)

As “Star Wars: Vader Down” wraps up, we leave with some unanswered questions that could well propel the back half of this series.
