Comic Picks By The Glick

Comic Picks# 374: Amazing Spider-Man -- Beyond 25.08.2022 26:49 ↓

Is this the spectacular spider-epic that Ben Reilly deserves?

Comic Picks #373: Oblivion Song 11.08.2022 26:43 ↓

Robert Kirkman's latest creator-owned title, with Lorenzo De Felici, wraps up in solid if unspectacular fashion.

Comic Picks #371: Holyland 14.07.2022 25:07 ↓

Does this street-fighting manga from Kouji Mori represent the future of Kentaro Miura's "Berserk?"

Comic Picks #370: Chainsaw Man 30.06.2022 54:31 ↓

Steve is back as we take a look at how good this hot-as-hell Jump title really is.   You'd think I'd remember to not forget the podcast after I've done it once, but I guess that's not the case!  Not angry, just disappointed.  In myself...  

Comic Picks #369: Savage Avengers 09.06.2022 28:36 ↓

What makes this Avengers team "Savage?"  Conan!  Does his presence make this series good?  Well...

Comic Picks #368: Buried Mediocrity of Manga -- Eternal Sabbath 26.05.2022 28:05 ↓

It has its moments, but this series about a low-key clash between superbeings wasn't quite as good as I remembered it being.

Comic Picks #367: X-Men -- Inferno & X Lives/Deaths of Wolverine 12.05.2022 1:22:07 ↓

Rob is back and we've got *FULL SPOILER* talk about the end of the Hickman era and the start of the next one.

Comic Picks #366: Ooku -- The Inner Chambers 28.04.2022 36:02 ↓

There's a lot of pain in Fumi Yoshinaga's alternate-history epic about a shogun matriarchy, but it's all worth it in the end.

Comic Picks #365: Hellions 14.04.2022 25:32 ↓

Is this the secret best X-book of the Krakoa Era?

Comic Picks #364: Raw Hero 31.03.2022 25:04 ↓

It's "Prison School" but with superheroes, and shorter, and maybe that's enough.

Comic Picks #363: The Last Annihilation 17.03.2022 32:28 ↓

Al Ewing and company send off "Guardians of the Galaxy" in a flawed but still enjoyable event.

Comic Picks #362: Moonshine 03.03.2022 22:16 ↓

The latest series from the creators of "100 Bullets" has a nice shiny surface, and almost nothing underneath.

Comic Picks #361: Star Wars -- War of the Bounty Hunters 17.02.2022 46:39 ↓

It's the first big crossover event of this era of "Star Wars" at Marvel and it's... fine?

Comic Picks #360: Immortal Hulk 03.02.2022 1:13:02 ↓

Does the final volume do this run justice?  Rob is back to help me find out.

Comic Picks #359: Best of 2021 20.01.2022 53:39 ↓

Liu!  Samura!  Ewing!  Thompson!  Tynion!  Fujimoto!  And MORE in my look back at the year that was.

Comic Picks #358: To Your Eternity 06.01.2022 1:00:19 ↓

Steve is back to discuss this series that only has TWELVE VOLUMES!

Comic Picks #357: Ajin -- Demi-Human 23.12.2021 31:12 ↓

Rooting for the bad guy has never been more fun when the good guys are this dumb.

Comic Picks #356: American Vampire 09.12.2021 36:55 ↓

It's a thoroughly readable take on vampirism, even as it gets more silly as it goes on.   Edit:  Oh, wait.  This will probably work better if I actually upload the episode with the post!

Comic Picks #355: Die 25.11.2021 24:40 ↓

Gillen & Hans' series is where RPG storytelling gets dark as it gets examined, and not necessarily for the better.

Comic Picks #354: X-Men -- The Hellfire Gala 11.11.2021 1:22:40 ↓

Rob is back to help me decide if this gala is worth attending.

Comic Picks #353: Superman/Action Comics by Bendis 28.10.2021 30:24 ↓

Do a lot of great little moments make up for a lack of an overall direction in this run?

Comic Picks #352: Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates 14.10.2021 26:33 ↓

Cap gets political again, with disappointing results.

Comic Picks #351: Seven to Eternity by Remender and Opena 30.09.2021 27:59 ↓

Remender grinds another of his protagonists down, but in some interesting and beautifully-rendered ways.

Comic Picks #350: Venom/King in Black by Cates, Stegman and Friends 16.09.2021 36:54 ↓

Myron joins me again to talk about this historic "Venom" run and the event series which capped it off.

Comic Picks #349: Invisible Kingdom by Wilson and Ward 02.09.2021 27:01 ↓

This sci-fi space opera allegory about Amazon, organized religion and the people caught in between has its moments, but whiffs it in the end.
