Comic Picks By The Glick

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

The life of Japan's greatest swordsman gets reimagined as a Shonen Jump manga restaged as art.  Wait, it's actually good! When this was originally recorded, I had no idea what I'd be doing for the next podcast.  Then I spent the last week re-reading all of Azzarello and Risso's "100 Bullets" in preparation for the release of the final volume this week.  Just thought I'd let you all know what's com...

Wanton violence against the undead, knives to the eyes, cannibalism and pie!  What more could you want from a comic? And yes, this should've been up last week, but due to unforgivable personal circumstances it wasn't.  My bad.  Look for the "What I've Been Reading" post tomorrow or on Sunday, depending on whether or not I get a chance to upload it from AX.

The bricks in question being "MW," "Apollo's Song," and "Ode to Kirihito," listed in ascending order of excellence.

Stephen King's signature work gets an enjoyable series of prequels that still could've and should've been even better.

For those of you who weren't scared off by the title, you're bound to find something to interest you in my look at highbrow manga.

In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, I talk about everyone's favorite X-Men character this week.

And we're back!  This week I'm talking about X-Men and the build-up and follow-through of "Messiah Complex."
