Comic Picks By The Glick

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."

Cops.  Superheroes.  Bendis.  Oeming.  It's as good as you've heard.  Click on the link for the full story.

No, it really couldn't have been anything else this week.  Comics' "Citizen Kane" gets its due here.

Did you know James Cameron has a favorite manga?  Well now you do, and this is it.

He's the creator of "Azumanga Daioh" and "Yotsuba&!," two series well worth your time. That said, after we did the podcast, I came home and found some things out.  Corrections/updates to the podcast follow after the break. First off, Kiyohiko Azuma is really a guy.  It's been generally assumed that because he draws really cute stuff and has a first name ending in the "-ko" suffix (usually reserved...

"Soon" turned out to be 96 hours later, but here are my thoughts on Garth Ennis' other classic series.

In which I talk about my (mostly implausible) hopes for the coming year.

In which the works of Frank Miller and Will Eisner's "Spirit" get their due, 'cause of the movie.

Recommendations for your Holiday comic shopping needs.

Jason here, and if you can read this and listen to the podcast, it means that I managed to publish everything right.  I figured now was as good a time as any to start updating the site myself, so (for what it's worth) you'll be listening to and reading me here from now on.  This week... I couldn't think of a particular theme that I wanted to tackle, so it was just a look at what I bought at the sh...
