Hype Machine: Five Ghosts

By | Mar 19, 2013 | Columns

It’s hard to over-hype a book like “Five Ghosts”. Written by Frank Barbiere and illustrated by Chris Mooneyham, the self-published first issue caught our attention at NYCC 2012 and — much to our delight! — got picked up by Image Comics late last year. That said, the review linked in that last paragraph got a […]

By | Mar 4, 2013 | Columns

It’s Abe Sapien Month at Multiversity! To see all sorts of Abe content, like our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” contest, fantastic original art, interviews and more, click here. Before I wrote for this site, what drew me to it was the gusto and enthusiasm that dripped from its posts. If a book was getting a […]

Hype Machine: LP [Preview]

By | Sep 25, 2012 | Previews

We’ve had a lot of words to say about a little book called “LP.” We ran an interview with artist Ramon Villalobos for Artist August and did an interview with Curt just because we like him, each of which featured little teases of the book, and I’ve done nothing but talk about how much I enjoyed […]

Hype Machine: Wild Children

By | Jul 10, 2012 | Columns

This week’s Comics Should Be Cheap was pretty hard to do, all things considered. One of my favorite comics of the year came out (“Enormous”!), taking up the majority of my $20 and leaving me space for but two $3.99 books. I mean, it’s a good thing when $20 can’t even remotely allow you to […]

Hype Machine: Revival

By | Jun 12, 2012 | Columns

Back in April, we posted up a few preview pages to an upcoming Image book called “Revival.” Written by Tim Seeley and illustrated by Mike Norton, the “farm noir” book follows Dana Cypress, an officer in a small town in Wisconsin, as she deals with “media scrutiny, religious zealots and government quarantine.” Why? Simple: because […]

Hype Machine: Hoax Hunters [Preview]

By | Jun 5, 2012 | Columns

What do you get when you take a TV paranormal investigation team, give them the attitude of the Myth Busters and the secrecy of the Men In Black? You get “Hoax Hunters.” Written by Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley with art by Axel Medellin, “Hoax Hunters” is a charming little title that puts three not-so-skeptic […]

Hype Machine: Enormous

By | May 30, 2012 | Columns

Every now and then, we (and by “we” I mean “David”) would write an article entitled “Hype Machine” to basically garner up some enthusiasm for an upcoming book that comes implicitly with the Multiversity Seal of Approval. It’s not a review, per se, but simply an example of everyone at Multiversity agreeing that there is […]
