Today sees the much-anticipated release of Multiversity: Ultra Comics #1. With a very self-aware lead character, whose secret identity is all of us reading the comic book. And reacting to the reviews of the comic book even before they are written.

Yes… that would be this Maxima right? Sorry, mate, I think you're all out of luck there.

Anyway, it's a wonderful comic book. Enjoy. That's if you choose to turn the page…
