Comic Picks #150: Best of 2013

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2014/01/09

Yeah, I didn't realize we had hit this magic number when it was recorded. My Top 10 for 2013, the best I didn't read from this calendar year and the worst all inside.

31:45

Comic Picks #149: Batman by Grant Morrison

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/12/26

Our buddy Brandon joins us this week to talk about this innovative run whose flaws are ultimately overcome by its frequent brilliance. Also, those of you looking for a more seasonal "Batman" story are recommended to click here.

40:38

Comic Picks #148: Slam Dunk

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/12/12

Myron's back as we talk about a series that, once it gets going, really justifies its reputation as one of the greatest Shonen Jump titles.

31:26

Comic Picks #147: Ikigami -- The Ultimate Limit

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/11/28

My friend Michael Stretton joins us this week to talk about a series that entertains. Both in spite of and because of its ridiculousness.

20:46

Comic Picks #146: Hellblazer by Peter Milligan

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/11/14

Middle-of-the-road "Hellblazer," but not without its merits and a fine ending.

28:55

Comic Picks #145: Green Lantern vol. 3 -- The End

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/10/31

Geoff Johns' character-and-franchise-defining run comes to a close in thrilling fashion (with some silliness and sloppiness too).

22:27

Comic Picks #144: Faith Erin Hicks

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/10/17

My thoughts on one of the best rising talents out there. Whatever she does next, I'm there for it!

19:27

Comic Picks #143: Superior Spider-Man

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/10/03

It's a good take on the hero/villain mind-switcharoo trope, so long as you can summon the necessary suspension of disbelief regarding one little detail.

18:21

Comic Picks #142: Mouse Guard

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/09/19

David Petersen's epic about mice forging their own medival society is as good as the wait between volumes is interminable! (And don't mind the bumped podcast below. There's nothing new if you've listened to it before, just some issues with editing the post itself...)

24:34

Comic Picks #141: Uncanny X-Force

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/09/19

Find out why Rick Remender's run is the real deal and how successor Sam Humpries' take stacks up so far.

30:03

Comic Picks #140: Bakuman

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/08/22

It certainly has its issues, but Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's manga about making manga is consistently entertaining and a whole lot better than their signature series "Death Note."

17:04

Comic Picks #139: The Killer

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/08/08

It's a story about a hitman that defies convention in ways that make up for its excesses.

25:59

Comic Picks #138: Jonathan Hickman's "Fantastic Four"

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/07/25

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

22:31

Comic Picks #137: The Rest of Entertainment Weekly's...

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/07/11

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.

25:27

Comic Picks #136: James Stokoe

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/06/27

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

23:19

Comic Picks #135: The Avengers vs. X-Men Companion

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/06/13

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...

32:18

Comic Picks #134: Hidden Treasures of Manga

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/05/30

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.

22:59

Comic Picks #133: The Travelogues of Guy Delisle

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/05/16

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

25:57

Comic Picks #132: Invincible Iron Man by...

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/05/02

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

21:12

Comic Picks #131: The Contract With God Trilogy

Comic Picks By The Glick ·

2013/04/18

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