Comic Picks By The Glick

Comic Picks #224: Transmetropolitan 17.11.2016 25:03 ↓

In light of our recent election I really had no choice but to revisit Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's eerily prescient and essential series.

Comic Picks #223: Doctor Strange 03.11.2016 29:05 ↓

Regardless of how the movie turns out, there have been lots of good stories (and some not so good) featuring Marvel's Sorceror Supreme.

Comic Picks #222: Bloom County 20.10.2016 21:34 ↓

The classic strips from Berkeley Breathed's comic in the 80's are the best way to relive the decade, but as for its current revival...

Comic Picks #221: Velvet 06.10.2016 15:05 ↓

This spy series from Brubaker and Epting is great fun, so long as you're only admiring its surface.

Comic Picks #220: Kosuke Fujishima 22.09.2016 26:49 ↓

He'll always be best known as the creator of "Oh My Goddess," but that doesn't mean it's the only title of his you should check out.

Comic Picks #219: What's On My Kindle? 08.09.2016 18:12 ↓

The answer:  Lots of cheap stuff from the likes of Vaughan, Hill, Wood, Mignola, Kindt, and more (including some re-bought Gillen)!

Comic Picks #218: Tezuka's Kickstarters 25.08.2016 32:06 ↓

Digital Manga utilized the crowdfunding platform to bring us a very uneven selection of works from the God of Manga.

Comic Picks #217: Suicide Squad 11.08.2016 25:25 ↓

I haven't seen the movie yet, because the classic run from John Ostrander (and Kim Yale) satisfies my craving for the squad's adventures.

Comic Picks #216: The Fade Out 28.07.2016 15:47 ↓

It's a newly-minted Eisner-winning series and a return to form for Brubaker and Phillips.

Comic Picks #215: Bendis' X-Men 14.07.2016 27:06 ↓

It's a run that has its moments, but no real plan or satisfying follow-through.

Comic Picks #214: A Silent Voice 30.06.2016 17:48 ↓

The first volume of this series about childhood bullying and teen atonement is brilliant.  The six that follow are still pretty good.

Comic Picks #213: Sergio Aragones' Groo 16.06.2016 19:37 ↓

Comics' greatest one-note joke has the legs to tackle everything from sword and sorcery parodies to the 2008 financial crash.

Comic Picks #212: Molester Man/Onani Master Kurosawa 02.06.2016 27:01 ↓

My friend Steve joins us again at Fanime.  This time, to talk about some manga he actually likes! (The con was awesome, as usual.  Expect my thoughts on it this Friday.)

Comic Picks #211: The Goon (Full Return) 26.05.2016 18:56 ↓

Fifteen volumes in and still more on the way.  Except I'm now done with this once-great series.

Comic Picks #210: Knights of Sidonia 12.05.2016 22:14 ↓

Tsutomu Nihei's latest series may be his most conventional, but it may be his most entertaining as well.

Comic Picks #209: WonderCon Roundup! 28.04.2016 34:45 ↓

Jodorowsky!  Manara!  Kirkman!  Miller!  Simonson!  Waid!  Milligan!  Arakawa!  All in this podcast (most for 50% off)!

Comic Picks #208: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 14.04.2016 53:51 ↓

Myron joins us to talk about the Heroes in a Half-Shell's history while I talk up the new comics from IDW.

Comic Picks #207: Secret Wars (and Hickman's Avengers) 31.03.2016 23:16 ↓

As enjoyable as it is flawed.

Comic Picks #206: The Tipping Point 17.03.2016 19:37 ↓

In which an astonishing array of international talent comes together to deliver a predictably uneven anthology.

Comic Picks #205: Deadpool 03.03.2016 20:04 ↓

In which I dive into digital comics and find out that the legendary run by Joe Kelly isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Comic Picks #204: Mind MGMT 18.02.2016 16:35 ↓

Matt Kindt's deeply strange series comes to a (not surprisingly) straightforward end.

Comic Picks #203: Also the best of 2015? 04.02.2016 25:34 ↓

What do "Nimona," "Terror Assaulter," "Black River," "Killing and Dying," and "Shaft" all have in common?  I ordered them all together to see if they deserved a spot on my "Best of 2015" list.

Comic Picks #202: Best of 2015 21.01.2016 32:08 ↓

Featuring works from Vaughan, Stevenson, Yasuhiko, Busiek, Morishige, Powell, Gaiman, and (of course) Samura.

Comic Picks #201: "Blade of the Immortal" -- From Front to Back 07.01.2016 23:31 ↓

I went and re-read all thirty-one volumes of this series to find out if it still holds up after its conclusion.

Comic Picks #200: "Daredevil" by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee 24.12.2015 20:01 ↓

One of the best superhero comics in recent memory.  'Nuff said.
