Green Goblin 9 featured

“Green Goblin” #9

By Chris Cole | Aug 30, 2021 | Reviews

Issue #8 gave us a new villain and wrapped up the Liz Osborn story, ending the most recent arc as it sets up a future threat. How much of it was set up for future stories, and how much of it was DeFalco moving the pieces in place for the finale, I can’t quite tell. […]

Wolverine 10 Featured

“Wolverine” #10 (1988)

By Conor Spielberg | Aug 30, 2021 | Reviews

Chris Claremont’s concluding issue to his run on “Wolverine” series lacks the high stakes one might expect from a writer about to depart from a book he started. Yet the issue is no less cathartic as Claremont explores a pivotal moment from Wolverine’s past as “Patch” aimlessly wanders Madripoor and stops trouble wherever he finds […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 8/25/21

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 30, 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 14 Featured

“Copperhead” #13-14

By Jim Malakwen | Aug 29, 2021 | Reviews

As we approach the end of “Copperhead”, reviews will be handled in batches of two or three issues. Issues 13 and 14 further develop story arcs introduced in the last chapter. After the last lackluster installments, do these entries restore the excitement of the first ten issues? Written by Jay Faerber Illustrated by Drew Moss […]

Some Kind of Suicide Squad: ‘Bad Blood’

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 28, 2021 | Reviews

Despite their near constant presence in DC publishing line since the New 52 era in 2011, I would guess you wouldn’t find many readers who liked the adventures of Task Force X between then and the subject of today’s column, “Suicide Squad: Bad Blood,” all that much. The New 52 era introduced a retro futurist […]

Five Thoughts on The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

By Laura Merrill | Aug 27, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Good morrow, peasants, and welcome to our review of Netflix’s animated prequel film, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. The bottom line is, if you enjoyed the series, you’ll enjoy this movie too. It captures The Witcher’s distinct tone, reinforces its themes, and expands our understanding of Geralt’s present through Vesemir’s past. I’ve said this […]

Norse Mythology II #3 featured

“Norse Mythology II” #3

By Robbie Pleasant | Aug 27, 2021 | Reviews

It’s time to check in on Thor and Loki to see how their latest adventure is going. No, not the ones in Marvel Comics, the ones from Norse mythology. In this case, Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell are bringing classic myths to the pages of comics with “Norse Mythology,” giving us a Thor and […]

“Superman ’78” #1

The Blue Boy Scout is here to save the day with a take on the “Donnerverse” begun with 1978’s Superman, entertaining regardless of readers’ prior experience with the property! Written by Robert Venditti Illustrated by Wilfredo Torres Colored by Jordie Bellaire Lettered by Dave Lanphear Fly into director Richard Donner’s Superman once more in Superman […]

“Gamayun Tales II: Vasilisa and the Doll”

By Luke Cornelius | Aug 26, 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 Normans” and “Asterix the Legionary”

By Matthew Blair | Aug 26, 2021 | Reviews

If you’ll allow me to get a little personal here, Asterix and Obelix were one of my favorite comics growing up and one of the reasons I fell in love with classical history. The amazing thing is that–even after growing up a bit and developing different tastes and worldviews–I still love these books. They are […]

Echolands 1 by JH Williams III

“Echolands” #1

By Kobi Bordoley | Aug 26, 2021 | Reviews

“Echolands” #1 is almost impossibly vast. There’s a lot to cover here, but the short of it is that this is a chaotic, fast-paced, genre bending, big scale brawl of a story. It’s not just fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, steampunk or anything of the sort — it’s all of those things at 110 percent. If you […]

“Zero Hour”: A Crisis In Recapping, Part 1

By Rowan Grover | Aug 25, 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 […]

The Webcomics Weekly #151: Post-Anniversary Crossover (8/24/2021 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Aug 24, 2021 | Reviews

OK, we're not actually doing a crossover. It just feels like one of those things we should be doing here if the Big 2's patterns are anything to go by and considering DC just partnered with Webtoon, that may be here sooner than later.

Star Wars Vader Down Featured

“Star Wars: Vader Down” (Part 1)

By Kate Kosturski | Aug 24, 2021 | Reviews

It’s crossover time as we he hit the halfway point of the series. Vader has his prize – – Luke – – in sight, but getting to it is not going to be easy, especially when some famous faces find out his plans. Written by Jason Aaron and Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr. […]

Green Goblin 8 featured

“Green Goblin” #8

By Chris Cole | Aug 23, 2021 | Reviews

Issue #7 ended with Ben Urich agreeing to help Liz Osborn (a.k.a. Liz Allan), with her search for the new Green Goblin. This leaves Phil to wonder how long he has left until he’s exposed. Not to mention the guilt of drawing his uncle into this, particularly when there’s a grieving widow involved. The layers […]

Wolverine 9 Featured

“Wolverine” #9 (1988)

By Conor Spielberg | Aug 23, 2021 | Reviews

With a new creative team taking the helm issue 9 of “Wolverine,” the book takes the titular character out of Madripoor for a one-shot and introduces us to a bunch of unremarkable military types. Whether through Peter David’s scripting or Bill Oakley’s lettering or some combination of the two, one of the military types takes […]

Copperhead 12 Featured

“Copperhead” #12

By Jim Malakwen | Aug 22, 2021 | Reviews

After the previous issue’s surprising conclusion, there were so many interesting directions Faerber and Moss could have taken the story. They could have given further insight into Hickory’s schemes, provided a glimpse into Clay’s motivation, or given Zeke more to do in this new story arc. Despite the fact that some narrative progression takes place […]

Some Kind of Suicide Squad: Arrow

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 21, 2021 | Reviews

As the “Suicide Squad” flailed about during the New 52 years, one of the places fans could consistently see a version of Task Force X in action was on Arrow. The task force was previously seen in several appearances on Smallville. Unlike the Superman prequel series Arrow would build entire episodes around a Task Force […]

Almost a year after its release, Square Enix’s Avengers game has added Black Panther (voiced by Christopher Judge), and the kingdom of Wakanda. Spoilers after the jump. 1.

“Kang the Conqueror” #1

By Matthew Blair | Aug 20, 2021 | Reviews

Over the course of the last decade, it’s been very interesting to see how the popularity of the Marvel movies has turned most of the world into superhero fans with a pretty broad knowledge of the Marvel universe and its heroes, including myself. Seriously, if you had asked me what I thought about the Guardians […]
