Comic Picks By The Glick

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."

Not so much a crossover as it is a "branded event."  Bendis, Wood, and Humprhies make a good show about shaking up the Ultimate Universe, even if it only postpones the inevitable.

Blood, (muscle) bombs, and boobs, Boobs, BOOBS about in Oh!Great's fighting series that can be as fun as it is ridiculous.

I was considering calling this the "Popecast," but then common sense intervened.  If you're not familiar with the man or his work, then you NEED to listen to this.

From Wolverine to Hellboy to Adolf to Dahmer to Butcher to Dash and more, it's all here in my take on what last year had to offer.

Vertical reissues one of Tezuka's later works which results in two more "bricks" that belong in your library.

Garth Ennis proves that he can still craft worthwhile material even when plunging straight into his own brand of self-indulgence.

Mitsuru Adachi's baseball manga is as exciting in its focus on the actual game as it is irritating with its romance between the protagonists.
