Comic Picks By The Glick

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.

Is Naoki Urasawa's sprawling epic of childhood imagination gone awry as good as its buildup, or is it a cleverly-disguised mess?  Find out inside.  Also, I explore its (tenuous) connection to "Batman:  The Long Halloween."

What haven't I talked about in the last several months?  Morrison's "Action Comics," the latest "The Walking Dead," Kaoru Mori's "Anything & Something," "Northlanders vol. 7," "Gantz vol. 26" and "21st Century Boys vol. 1."
