    Multiversity Comics - Matthew Blair

    Oct 18, 2019

    A very slim narrative frame paves the way for an epic recounting of twenty years of Marvel history and lore, all of which is enhanced by some incredibly gorgeous art work that gives these events the epic and grandiose scope and scale they deserve. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Sam Jarron

    Oct 16, 2019

    I must say, while this series is right up my alley (I love timelines and continuity), it's getting a little too expository. Read Full Review

    I feel like some of the negative reviews on this book are because there isn't much of a plot on this book. But I think that the idea is to basically recap stuff in chronological order. So if you want to know how everything came to be I would recommend it. But if you are expecting some astonishing plot, you will be disappointed. Though I do understand story-wise kind of why, it's weird to me that Galactus is basically doing the job of the Watchers.

    The "story" of the Marvel universe grows disjointed as developments stack up in the 80s and 90s. The shift from hero- and team-related history to editorially-mandated events is clear and unfortunate. Even the art is fading a bit.
