“Horizontal Collaboration”

By Paul Lai | Nov 19, 2019 | Reviews

“We’re all important people,” says Henrietta, one of those secondary characters uttering major thematic pearls in “Horizontal Collaboration.” She continues, “Sometimes, to be that, we have to act in secret.” Secrets, from poorly hidden to preciously held ones, move the drama of this lushly drawn and subtly told graphic novel. “Horizontal Collaboration” is the comics […]

By Multiversity Staff | Nov 18, 2019 | 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.

“Triage” #3

By Christa Harader | Nov 15, 2019 | Reviews

event leviathan 6 featured

“Event Leviathan” #6

By Gustavo S Lodi | Nov 15, 2019 | Reviews

“Event Leviathan” is a stronger conclusion as a single issue than the overall mystery that has been laid out previously. Atmospheric, consequential, and beautifully illustrated and designed, the final issue of the event is a worthy read, despite some of the burden it carries from first chapters. Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Alex […]

“The Dollhouse Family” #1

By Matthew Blair | Nov 15, 2019 | Reviews

Since it started in September of 2018, the DC Black Label has become the place for big name creators to tell engaging and unique stories set in the DC universe for mature audiences. Granted, the Black Label hasn’t had a whole lot of competition since Vertigo was shut down, but they have a lot of […]

“Fallen Angels” #1

By Alexander Jones | Nov 15, 2019 | Reviews

The House of Ideas is expanding Marvel’s X-Men comics into new series. Despite the strong initial start for Jonathan Hickman, R.B. Silva and Pepe Larraz’s “House of X” and “Powers of X” mini-series, the publisher is having trouble finding a through-line for the spin-off series. Titles like “Excalibur” and “Marauders” are having trouble finding a […]

ElfQuest Stargazer's Hunt #1

“Elfquest: Stargazer’s Hunt” #1

By Rowan Grover | Nov 14, 2019 | Reviews

“Elfquest” has been a blank spot in my comics reading experience, which is wild considering that it’s a long-running acclaimed series that works within genres that I love. Wendy and Richard Pini closed the book on one of the character’s story last year, but now they look to continue on another character’s arc this entry […]

Pick of the Week: “The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl” #50

By Robbie Pleasant | Nov 14, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Since 2015, “Unbeatable Squirrel Girl” has been one of my favorite ongoing comics. The well-written, well-developed characters, the way Doreen defeated villains through empathy more often than through violence, the bright and colorful artwork, the way it embraced all the insane but awesome aspects of the Marvel universe – everything about this comic made it […]

“Mooncakes”

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Nov 13, 2019 | Reviews

Some book are just nice to read. They wrap their characters and story around you like a blanket and allow you to relax into them. “Mooncakes,” originally a webcomic, now collected as a graphic novel, is exactly that kind of book. Written by Suzanne Walker with art by Wendy Xu, it is a cozy, inclusive […]

Feature: Our Encounters with Evil (cover)

Mignolaversity: “Our Encounters with Evil”

By Mark Tweedale and Brian Salvatore | Nov 13, 2019 | Reviews

“Our Encounters with Evil: Adventures of Professor J.T. Meinhardt and His Assistant Mr. Knox” abandons the single story structure of it predecessor, 2017’s “Mr. Higgins Comes Home,” opting instead for a series of short stories. This makes the book feel markedly different, while retaining the established flavor for the series. This review contains some spoilers […]

“Making Comics”

By Justin McGuire | Nov 12, 2019 | Reviews

Lynda Barry is the most inspirational cartooning teacher in the world, bar none. I first read Lynda Barry in Syllabus, which was a semi-autobiographical and mostly-instructional book on creating comics. It was sitting in the library, and was just too odd not to pick up. I find it impossible to read Lynda Barry’s books for […]

The Webcomics Weekly #61: Roads? Where We’re Going, Our Infrastructure Crumbled 4 Years Ago (11/12/19 Edition)

By Multiversity Staff | Nov 12, 2019 | Reviews

It seems that the month of spoop hangs over the column with "A Better Place's" updates and newcomer "Chickenface." But not all is spooky, as "Order of the Stick" and "Vainglorious" keeps the fantasy comedy alive and "The Wrath and the Dawn" takes an adaptive route to an modern adaptation of one of the most famous fantasy collections: "1001 Arabian Nights."
