The Decade According To Multiversity

What’s Next? (A Look At The Upcoming Decade)

By David Harper | Dec 13, 2009 | Columns

Now that our The Decade According to Multiversity project is now over and the decade itself is coming to a close, a whole new world of uncertainty is opening up. At the beginning of the 2000’s, we had only heard of three of the top 10 ongoing series, one of the top four writers had […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Ongoing Series

By David Harper | Dec 11, 2009 | Columns

This is it – this is the big finale of our look at the best the decade had to offer us as comic readers. While we assuredly missed a ton of titles (I was personally most saddened by not being able to include BPRD/Hellboy and Runaways), such is the nature of the system we used […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Writer

By David Harper | Dec 10, 2009 | Columns

The medium of comic books in many ways is one, in my mind at least, that is dominated by the writer working on the project. While artists, inkers, colorists, letterers, editors, and everyone else who works on a project definitely has a stake involved, writers dictate whether or not a project works more than anyone […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Artist

By David Harper | Dec 9, 2009 | Columns

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we have four wildly different writers then as we all chose a different top artist for the decade. Of course, there can only be one actual winner, and it was a scrap between the only two artists who managed to make it on all four of […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Mini-Series

By David Harper | Dec 8, 2009 | Columns

Best Mini-Series. This category was an extremely difficult to define one, and it is one where we basically placed any questionable call titles. Is a title not quite an OGN and not quite an ongoing? It’s now a mini. That’s basically what went with. While you may debate some of our selections as to whether […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Original Graphic Novels

By David Harper | Dec 7, 2009 | Columns

For me, this is the hardest category of all to choose. There are just so many options of brilliant original graphic novels out there that I really felt like I needed to read a lot before finalizing this list. I didn’t get nearly as many titles read for this list as I would have liked […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Single Issue

By David Harper | Dec 4, 2009 | Columns

Unsurprisingly, this category featured the most variation for choices. Out of 30 total possible slots, there were 26 total titles chosen (Gil abstained from this category). Given the sheer amount of comics that came out I should not have been shocked, but I still was somewhat. Even more surprising? Amongst this massive mess, two of […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Event

By David Harper | Dec 3, 2009 | Columns

Love them or hate them, event comics are becoming more and more prevalent in mainstream comics. Whether or not you’re lamenting them, claiming a bad case of “event fatigue” and desperately yearning for decade break from massive battles and “things will never be the same” stories, it’s hard to argue that they do not generate […]

The Decade According to Multiversity: Best Heroes

By David Harper | Dec 2, 2009 | Columns

What an incredible decade filled with huge moments from our favorite characters in the world of comics. Whether it was the return of our favorites (Hal Jordan, Barry Allen, and more), the deaths of others (Captain America, Martian Manhunter), or the creation of brand new ones (Yorick Brown, Bigby Wolf, Rick Grimes), this was a […]
