The Webcomics Weekly #145: The Heat of the Moment (7/13/2021 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 13, 2021 | Reviews

I've got summer on the brain and that means it's overheating just a tad. It means my shoulders are as red as a lobster because I failed to properly apply the protective layer of goo necessary to prevent the sun's life-giving energy from radiating my skin into pain.

“Green Goblin” #2

By Chris Cole | Jul 12, 2021 | Reviews

In “Green Goblin” #1, we were properly introduced to Phil Urich, college dropout and Daily Bugle intern. While investigating some properties owned by Harry Osborn (and dealing with the gang members there to ransack them), Phil stumbles into Osborn’s secret armory, getting doused in Goblin Formula. With these new weapons and powers, Phil becomes a […]

Wolverine 3 Featured

“Wolverine” #3 (1988)

By Conor Spielberg | Jul 12, 2021 | Reviews

The main issue with this Wolverine comic is that there isn’t much of Wolverine featured in it. The suspenseful cliffhanger allows the issue to start with a gripping opening and it ends with a satisfying climax, but has a rather bloated middle. Written by Chris Claremont Penciled by John Buscema Inked by Al Williamson Colored […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 7/7/21

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 12, 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.

Some Kind of Suicide Squad: The Phoenix Gambit

By Michael Mazzacane | Jul 10, 2021 | Reviews

The read through continues with ‘The Phoenix Gambit’ which contained Suicide Squad #40-49. These issues are available to read with a DC Universe Infinite subscription. The titular ‘Phenix Gambit’ is more than a pulpy name for issues #40-43 of “Suicide Squad,” it’s a statement of purpose by John Ostrander and Kim Yale as they attempt […]

Black Widow

By Reid Carter | Jul 9, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Black Widow is a film out of time and place. Like its title character, it’s destined to sit at a strange spot in the Marvel Studios pantheon. Black Widow the character is a human assassin who often stands alongside gods to do battle with titans, killer robots, and the great powers of the cosmos. Black […]

Major Grom Plague Doctor

Major Grom: Plague Doctor

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jul 9, 2021 | Movies, Reviews

Marvel have finally released the Black Widow movie, but it’s well worth remembering Russia has its own comic book and film industries, and perhaps coincidentally, this week saw the US release of Major Grom: Plague Doctor — reportedly the first feature film based on a Russian comic — on Netflix. Directed by Oleg Trofim, the […]

Clans of Belari issue 1 featured

“Clans of Belari” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jul 8, 2021 | Reviews

Writing original fiction is hard, writing original science fiction is even harder. It’s not that the genre is any more difficult to write than any other, it’s just that the realm of science fiction is packed with so many unique, interesting, and incredibly popular stories and universes that it’s hard to not create something that […]

“Mass Effect: Foundation” #5-8

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jul 8, 2021 | Reviews

After ticking off all the squadmates from the original game in its first four issues, “Mass Effect: Foundation” began spotlighting those featured in Mass Effect 2, and laying the bedrock for Rasa’s eventual departure from Cerberus. Written by Mac Walters Art by Garry Brown, Matthew Clark, Tony Parker Inked by Drew Geraci, Sean Parsons Colored […]

“The Good Asian” #3

By John Schaidler | Jul 8, 2021 | Reviews

“The Good Asian” #3 continues to do what the series does best, carefully weaving together ugly truths about America’s racial intolerance and a beautifully crafted noir that stands on its own.

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” Vol. 11 & 12

By Elias Rosner | Jul 7, 2021 | Reviews

Is it just going to be a running gag until the very end of the series that Tanjiro & crew just...cannot keep their swords in one piece? Is every arc gonna end with an increasingly ludicrous reaction to Tanjiro needing a new blade? Am I going to have to stop reading after each arc just so I can properly prepare to be hunched over in laughter?

Feature: Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Secret of Chesbro House #1

Mignolaversity: “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Secret of Chesbro House” #1

By Mark Tweedale | Jul 7, 2021 | Reviews

Much of “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.” over the past two years has focused on standalone tales. You would be forgiven for thinking that this would make each story feel slight, non-essential, or skippable, and yet time and time again, the opposite is true. “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Secret of Chesbro House” is simply unmissable. […]

“Truth: Red, White and Black” #6

By Devin Fairchild | Jul 6, 2021 | Reviews

The old adage credited to Spanish philosopher George Santayana “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” never rang more true than it does at this very moment. Another more recent and more eccentric philosopher the late Terence McKenna had an interesting theory about the modern era. The leader of the psychedelic […]

The Webcomics Weekly #144: Plague Muffins and Anchovie (7/06/2021 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Jul 6, 2021 | Reviews

The Webcomics Weekly returns with a menu of foodie comics. With a name like Plague Muffins what more is there to say? Would you perhaps want some anchovy to go along with it? Maybe “Within” it? “Lavender Jack” dosen’t really have a food theme but they do eat a fair bit in that strip. Anchovie […]

“Green Goblin” #1

By Chris Cole | Jul 5, 2021 | Reviews

In June 1995’s “Web of Spider-Man” #125, right in the middle of ‘The Clone Saga,” Marvel introduced readers to a new Green Goblin. This Goblin, complete with prerequisite 90s redesign, was seemingly determined to kidnap the cloned Gwen Stacy on the run with Miles Warren. But after a tussle with Warren and The Scarlet Spider, […]

“Wolverine” #2 (1988)

By Conor Spielberg | Jul 5, 2021 | Reviews

The amount of action in issue 2 of “Wolverine” dominates the majority of the pages, much like the first issue. But this issue ties the conflict between the combatants more with the story and doesn’t evoke the same cathartic one-sidedness of the previous issue. Written by Chris Claremont Pencilled by John Buscema Inked by Al […]
