Comic Picks By The Glick

Comic Picks #84: High Quality Smut! 30.06.2011 25:03 ↓

Because sometimes there's more to a title than tits and ass.  "Tenjo Tenge," "Sundome," and "High School of the Dead" get their due here.

Comic Picks #83: Green Lantern 18.06.2011 20:43 ↓

However the movie turns out, the comics written by Geoff Johns are good readin'!

Comic Picks #82: X-Men -- First Class 02.06.2011 25:09 ↓

I talk about the comics the new movie takes its name from, and make my pitch for an "X-Factor" film.

Comic Picks #81: Future Diary 19.05.2011 30:30 ↓

My friend Steve joins me as we tackle a series that didn't turn out to be what you'd call "good," but was certainly memorable.

Comic Picks #80: Thor 05.05.2011 23:40 ↓

It's that time again!  My thoughts on Simonson's definitive run, plus a few words on Straczynski, Ellis and Ennis' contributions.

Comic Picks #79: "Fables vol. 15: Rose Red" 21.04.2011 15:15 ↓

Bill Willingham's long-running series reaches a major milestone, and shows that it still has lots of gas in the tank.

Comic Picks #78: "Batman: Time and the Batman" 07.04.2011 18:33 ↓

Of continuity patching, anniversaries, ambition and fill-ins.

Comic Picks #77: "Bokurano: Ours" 24.03.2011 17:27 ↓

When bad things involving giant mecha happen to junior high kids who (mostly) don't deserve it.

Comic Picks #76: The Thanos Imperative 10.03.2011 13:33 ↓

More cosmic armageddon madness... in the mighty Marvel manner!

Comic Picks #75: Summit of the Gods 24.02.2011 15:29 ↓

It's a grand showcase for one of the manliest of pursuits -- mountain climbing!  With a special appearance by Sebastian from NPFOM!

Comic Picks #74: Justice Society of America 10.02.2011 25:03 ↓

My take on (mostly) the latter half of the series that made Geoff Johns' name in the DC Universe.

Comic Picks #73: Claymore 27.01.2011 14:44 ↓

It is "Berserk Lite," but that doesn't mean that it's not good on its own terms.

Comic Picks#72: Best of 2010 13.01.2011 29:38 ↓

One each from Ellis, Ennis, Vaughan, and Mignola, two from Gillen, one from Europe, and three manga.

Comic Picks #71: Two from Tokyopop -- "Hetalia" and "Future Diary" 30.12.2010 20:51 ↓

A podcast devoted to Tokyopop.  Now here's something I'd never thought I'd be doing when I started podcasting.

Comic Picks #70: Ex Machina 16.12.2010 27:50 ↓

Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris' political/sci-fi series wraps up and comes off very well in retrospect.

Comic Picks #69: The Metabarons 02.12.2010 17:27 ↓

Yes, I really do think we could stand to get more crazy series from Europe like this brought over here.

Comic Picks #68: Tsutomu Nihei 18.11.2010 22:54 ↓

My take on a phenomenally talented artist whose writing... well, at least it's getting better.

Comic Picks #63.5: Global Manga (Slight Return) 11.11.2010 23:51 ↓

New volumes of "Peepo Choo," "Nightschool," and "Empowered" are out, so I decided to talk about them all here.

Comic Picks #67: Gunsmith Cats 04.11.2010 18:19 ↓

Kenichi Sonoda's "magnum opus."  In the sense that it's his best work, and that it involves lots and lots of guns.

Comic Picks #66: X-Men -- Second Coming 21.10.2010 27:31 ↓

X-men + crossover + collected editions = podcast!

Comic Picks #65: RED/Wildstorm R.I.P. 07.10.2010 18:28 ↓

This week I talk about the first Warren Ellis comic to get a movie adaptation, and then offer a post-mortem on the imprint it came from.

Comic Picks #64: Postapocalyptic odds and ends. 23.09.2010 21:21 ↓

"Crossed," "Old Man Logan," and "The Dark Tower:  The Battle of Jericho Hill."  One of these I really liked.  The other two... not so much.

Comic Picks #63: Global Manga 09.09.2010 39:50 ↓

Or:  Manga from people who aren't Japanese.  Grab yourself some popcorn and a drink, this one's a monster.

Comic Picks #62: War of Kings/Realm of Kings 26.08.2010 24:17 ↓

They're full of epic, ambitious sci-fi superhero action, and a few examples of how NOT to tell a story in a multi-title crossover.

Comic Picks #61: Star Wars -- Knights of the Old Republic 12.08.2010 13:40 ↓

Much better than you'd expect from something that's the licensed spin-off of a licensed spin-off.
