Mary Pope Osborne on Free Play, Reading, and Joy in “Magic Tree House”

By Elias Rosner | May 27, 2024 | Interviews

Mary Pope Osborne is not a big name in comics but she is a gigantic name in the world of children's literature. Her "Magic Tree House" series has been running for over 30 years and inspired multiple generations of readers, like myself, to inquire deeply and with openness. Her 39th (or maybe it's 67th) "Magic Tree House" book, "Windy Night with Wild Horses" has just come out. It was a joy to get to talk to her about a wide range of topics related to her books, in particular the graphic novel adaptations by Jenny Laird and Kelly & Nicole Matthews that are going three years strong, with book 7, "Sunset of the Sabertooth" on the horizon.

Imagine this: You inherent a home from your late father.

And after an unfortunate turn of events, you dial one and find out for yourself. This is […]

Jamming, Blocking, and Paranormal Yeeting: An Interview With “Blood City Rollers’s” V.P. Anderson and Tatiana Hill

By Elias Rosner | Apr 9, 2024 | Interviews

Roller Derby has always been something I’ve liked hearing about but never really got. While I still don’t really get it after talking with V and Tatiana, I certainly have a much greater fondness for this wacky, wild and ever changing sport. I think you will too. You’ll certainly come out wanting to read more […]

2023 was a big year for Mike Mignola’s Hellboy Universe.

“Cardboard Kingdom” Chad Sell Talks the Joys of Snow and Imagination

By Elias Rosner | Feb 12, 2024 | Interviews

Back in November, the third book in the very popular "Cardboard Kingdom" series came out: "Snow & Sorcery." While the winter isn't quite over yet here in the northern hemisphere, we thought it'd be great to sit down and talk about that book, the season's hold over kids, and the process of making a book series as collaborative as "Cardboard Kingdom." Thank again to Chad Sell for sitting down with us!

Feature: The Great British Bump-Off #4

John Allison Discusses Homicide Baking in “The Great British Bump-Off”

By Mark Tweedale | Dec 20, 2023 | Interviews

I remain convinced that John Allison and Max Sarin’s “Giant Days” is one of the best comics of the 2010s. I can’t get enough of it and I’ll be happily rereading the whole series over the end-of-year break. Happily, the two are continuing to work together on a new series for Dark Horse Comics, “The […]

We’re continuing those conversations here, albeit a little more formally, by interviewing […]

Steve Orlando On This “Sainted Love” You’ve Given

By Kyle Welch | Sep 25, 2023 | Interviews

Love is hard. Love is hard as a queer couple in 1907 New York City.

Comics at the (Digital) Library: An Interview with Libby’s Comic Book Expert

By Elias Rosner | Sep 19, 2023 | Interviews

We here at Multiversity love our libraries. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to read nearly as many comics as we otherwise could. Or at least I wouldn’t. (Full disclosure: I also work at a library.) Clearly we’re not the only ones, as the digital library service Libby (the app for OverDrive) reached out to […]
