Comic Picks By The Glick

Comic Picks #59: Wednesday Comics 15.07.2010 23:58 ↓

If you want to see how art can truly trump writing, here's your answer.

Comic Picks #58: Even more "Blade of the Immortal" 02.07.2010 15:35 ↓

Because not only can I not stop talking about this series, we've seen a lot of it this year as well.

Comic Picks #57: Jonah Hex 17.06.2010 14:30 ↓

In a move that should surprise no one, I talk about another comic book character who has a movie coming out this weekend.

Comic Picks #56: Pluto 03.06.2010 19:51 ↓

In which I call robot BS on Naoki Urasawa's update of the classic Tezuka Astro Boy story.

Comic Picks #55: Save Eden! 20.05.2010 16:03 ↓

In which I ask YOU to save Hiroki Endo's "Eden:  It's an Endless World," because I sure as hell doubt that Dark Horse will.

Comic Picks #54: Iron Man 06.05.2010 22:07 ↓

You could say that this movie-tie-in-cast was almost two years in the making...

Comic Picks #53: The Losers 22.04.2010 12:37 ↓

This time, I hope the movie is as good as the comic.

Comic Picks #52: Kick-Ass 08.04.2010 13:48 ↓

All I can say is that I hope the movie is more enjoyable than its source material.

Comic Picks #51: Planetary 25.03.2010 22:34 ↓

Prepare yourself for twenty minutes of me gushing over how great this series is... because it's true.

Comic Picks #50: Human Target 11.03.2010 16:46 ↓

I celebrate 50 podcasts by embracing sobriety and talking about another great comic adapted into an okay TV show.

Comic Picks #49: Vertigo Crime 25.02.2010 17:50 ↓

I don't think this imprint is long for the world, but there's been some decent stuff published so far.

Comic Picks #48: Rex Mundi 11.02.2010 17:20 ↓

This take on the descent of Christ's bloodline is ultimately flawed, but still a fascinating and compelling read.

Comic Picks #47: Interesting Failures 28.01.2010 17:58 ↓

"Astonishing X-Men:  Ghost Box" and "Astral Project:"  Two titles that had interesting ideas, but didn't successfully execute them.

Comic Picks #46: Best of '09 (that weren't "Blade of the Immortal") 14.01.2010 32:16 ↓

The ten best (and then some) of last year.

Comic Picks #45: Ed Brubaker 31.12.2009 19:58 ↓

And to finish off the year, here are my thoughts on one of the best writers working on American comics today.

Comic Picks #44: Fumi Yoshinaga 17.12.2009 21:28 ↓

Last time it was a man, this time I talk about one of the most exciting female talents working in manga today.

Comic Picks #43: Naoki Urasawa 08.12.2009 27:02 ↓

WE LIVE AGAIN!!!  And to celebrate -- here's a podcast about one of the most exciting talents in manga today.

Comic Picks #42: Garth Ennis' War Stories 13.11.2009 22:41 ↓

Almost in time for Veterans' Day -- my thoughts on the genre that Ennis keeps coming back to time and time again. (Sorry about the delay.  My computer has been giving me crap all week and I've finally bludgeoned it to the point where it'll go on the internet, but keeps throwing system errors at me.)

Comic Picks #41: Poison Elves 29.10.2009 17:01 ↓

And now for a series, and a creator, that should have been around much longer than they were.

Crossovercast #2: Star Wars 15.10.2009 44:24 ↓

In which I drag the NPFOM crew into a discussion on some of the more noteworthy Star Wars comics published by Dark Horse.

Comic Picks #39: A tale of two cosmic crossovers. 17.09.2009 22:14 ↓

Just so you know, Marvel's "Annihilation" and DC's "Green Lantern:  The Sinestro Corps War" are as good as you've heard.

Comic Picks #38: Blade of the Immmortal -- The Prison Arc 03.09.2009 18:58 ↓

Volumes 15-21 show that even a flawed "BotI" arc is better than most series' best efforts.

Comic Picks #37: Starman 20.08.2009 35:34 ↓

It's not perfect, but it does feature one of the best-written superheroes ever in comics.

Comic Picks #36: 100 Bullets 06.08.2009 17:35 ↓

My not-so-long-awaited thoughts on Azzarello and Risso's signature series.

Crossovercast #1: Joker 27.07.2009 38:16 ↓

In honor of the one year anniversary of this podcast, the No Podcast for Old Men crew come over and discuss Azzarello and Bermejo's "Joker." Yeah, not only is this late, but it's not the "100 Bullets" podcast I promised.  That's been done and will be up in due time.  In the meantime, I picked up a metric assload of comics from Comic-Con and am in the process of reading through them all.  I'll see...
