Comic Picks By The Glick

My not-so-long-awaited thoughts on Azzarello and Risso's signature series.

In honor of the one year anniversary of this podcast, the No Podcast for Old Men crew come over and discuss Azzarello and Bermejo's "Joker." Yeah, not only is this late, but it's not the "100 Bullets" podcast I promised.  That's been done and will be up in due time.  In the meantime, I picked up a metric assload of comics from Comic-Con and am in the process of reading through them all.  I'll see if I can post the full list at some point, but I'm likely to get several podcasts out of the stuff I picked up over the last five days.

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 coming next...

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.
