Warning: Spoilers ahead for Multiversus: Collision Detected #2!The official return of Steven Universe In a crossover comic reminded me just how much I missed the show. It’s been four years since Rebecca Sugar’s acclaimed Cartoon Network series ended with Steven Universe Future. I still remember countless months of waiting for each new Steven Bomb to see what was next for the overarching story, and this new comic offers at least a hint of that thrill.
Multiversus: Collision detected #2 – written by Bryan Q. Miller, with art by Jon Sommariva – has a premise that I love, to begin with, as DC’s “trinity” of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman find themselves on the hunt for various visitors throughout The multiverse, including many iconic cartoon characters.
Notable heroes and villains include Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, Wicked Witch of the West and Rick Sanchez from rick and morty, Although the appearance that Got me really excited is Steven and Garnet van steven universe, As they team up with Superman to take down Livewire.

What’s great about Steven Universe’s big return after an appearance in the MultiVersus Video game is How well the comics capture what made me love him in the first place. Just like the series, he is brave and ready to help when necessary while also cracking a silly joke or two. He’s overall a wholesome character who loves what he does, and it’s heightened even further when Superman joins the fight. The look of pure joy on Steven’s face when he sees Superman take off to help them in their battle with Livewire fits his character so perfectly.
In short, I was delighted when Steven popped up in Multiversus: Collision detected #2. Perhaps the thing I loved most about Steven’s appearance here is how it retains Steven’s fighting technique. He is a character who is more defensive than offensive, so his primary weapon is his mother’s shield. Seeing him power up his weapon of choice through the gem in his chest is something that cheered me up. Plus, with Steven being one of the key figures that Superman saw in his vision, fans like me will be happy to know that he will have a pretty substantial role in the history of the comic.
I love how Multiversus perfectly flips the most negative stereotype of Steven Universe
Trust me, Steven is more of a fighter than people think
I understand that one of the most common criticisms about Steven Universe It was like people viewed him as a character who would rather show his emotions than actually fight. however, MultiVersus Proves something I’ve known for years – That this is a reductive argument. Yes, Stephen is a pacifist, who sees the best in everyone and wants to dissolve conflicts through non-violent means. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t take up arms when he needs to, and that includes Multiversus: Collision detected #2.
I would argue that Steven is the perfect person to fight alongside the Man of Steel, as the two share a sense of optimism that aids in their fight.
Steven is a character who only sees violence as a last resort. He’s been in quite a few scrapes throughout the series because of this, proving that he can be a noble fighter. He even points this out multiversus, As Superman looks admirably on him and Garnet, happy to fight by their side. In fact, I would argue that Steven is the perfect person to fight alongside the Man of Steel, as the two share a sense of optimism that aids in their fight to protect the world and those they care about.
I’m excited that “Collision Detected” pick the perfect gem to join Steven
Sorry Pearl & Amethyst
The coolest inclusion MultiVersus Made when bringing back Steven has garnet tag along with it. While it makes sense for her to join him since she’s one of the game’s playable fighters, the two heroes by far have always had the most interesting relationship to me. Garnet served as a mother figure to Steven as he grew up. This only got stronger when Steven learned that she was a fusion of two other gems, wildly in love named Ruby and Sapphire, paving the way to inspire other LGBTQ+ shows.
The way the two interact in the main show is by far one of the best relationships in the show, and seeing it brought back with Steven’s return is a great way to remind fans of what they’re made of. Steven Universe So special. I look forward to seeing how Steven plays in Collision detecteds story as the series continues. So far, it has a very welcome return for Steven Universe Fans like ourselves while we wait for a possible revival, especially after years of missing the show after its heartbreaking finale.
