First things first, just to clear up a bit of highly reported news: Grant Morrison is not leaving superhero comics. He is, as quoted by Joe Keatinge who was in attendance of the convention,taking a breather. With that, millions of fanboys breathe a sigh of relief…
One of the more gorgeous books currently being published, “Before Watchmen: Ozymandias,” is here to try and wipe the slate clean after its “Before Watchmen” brethren, “Nite Owl,” maddened the masses last week.

FanExpo ’12: New Morbius, Moloch Books Announced
Today, Marvel announced “Morbius: The Living Vampire,” a new ongoing from Joe Keatinge and Rich Elson, which will launch in January. This is the same creative team behind the announced, and cancelled, “Thanos: Son of Titan” mini, so clearly Marvel was serious when they said that both creators would be doing new things for the company soon. Newsarama has an interview with Keatinge where he discusses his history with the character, as well as some teases for what is to come in the book.
Comics Should Be Cheap! (7/18/2012)
Buying comics can be an expensive hobby. A lot of fans simply can’t afford everything they’re interested in, due to rising prices and the over-saturation of the market with superhero titles.
That’s why we’re here. Every week, the Multiversity staff is asked “What would you buy this week if you couldn’t go over $20?” and shares their reasons why, in order to help others who might have similar tastes make their own decisions in buying comics on a budget. Be sure to leave your own picks in the comments!
Want to keep up with the ever-advancing continuity porn of the DC and Marvel universes, but simply don’t have the time or money to buy every ongoing? We’re here to help. The Weekend Week In Review aims to give you ((usually) very) brief synopses of what happened in a select few of DC and Marvel’s titles — with a helping of sarcastic commentary — so that when some nasty old writer wants to punish you by heavily referencing a title you didn’t pick up, you won’t be left in the dark. Of course, that means that spoilers are in abundance, but I figure that you could figure that out…

Review: Before Watchmen Nite Owl #1
Week Four of the “Before Watchmen” era is upon us, and we are greeted by the first of two books written by J. Michael Staczynski, or JMS, as we will refer to him from here on out. After last week’s “The Comedian” leaving us cold, would “Nite Owl” be the light in our darkness?

4 Color: Three Times the Wood (Part Two)
This episode sees Burpee take over the editing for the last couple. Sadly for David some of the editing comes at his expense! Hooray for everyone else! This episode the guys talk Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre and Planetoid. Come on in the water is great!
Review: Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre #1
Last week, we gave a near rave to “Before Watchmen: Minutemen.” Is it possible that one week later writer Darwyn Cooke and illustrator Amanda Conner could have topped it? Our Before Watchmen team of Brian and David tackle that idea below.
