Comic Picks By The Glick

If I was going to recommend one run about the exploits of Marvel's First Family, this would be it.

If you haven't, you'll want to read this first.  My thoughts on "Stitches," "Chicken With Plums," and "Mendel's Daughter."  One of these is very much worth your time and money.  The other two... not so much.

He's one of the best and most compelling artists working in the industry today.  His writing isn't bad either.  VIVA LA GRONCH!

This one comes with a big caveat (see if you can guess what it is), but this collection of every tie-in to the crossover event is more entertaining than the event itself. Glick's Note:  The name of Kieron Gillen's Kid Loki series is "Journey Into Mystery."  I can't believe I blanked on that in the middle of the podcast...

What are they?  Click to find out.  (Most likely the first part of a multi-part series.) Glick's Note:  I would've included Moto Hagio's excellent "A, A'" in here as well, but Shaenon Garrity wrote about its virtues much more compellingly than I would've managed.

His accounts of Pyongyang, Shenzen, Burma and Jerusalem are all worth checking out -- though one stands above the rest.

As the third movie bears down upon us, I take a look at these creators' entertaining but very uneven run on this title.

We go back to the old school to talk about Will Eisner's definitive graphic novel masterworks.
