Hickmania #1: The Nightly News (W/ Zack Quaintance)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald's Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we'll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We'll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I'll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic!
Today we're talking The Nightly News, and I'm joined by Zack Quaintance of Comics Bookcase. We'll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers! Topics today include:
How does Hickman's comics debut hold up 15 years later?
How does Hickman use design and infographics to invigorate a cynical, violent, often muddled story?
Does a comic about violence against the media work in 2022? How has the changing cultural landscape changed those implications?

About Comic Book Herald:
My name's Dave, and Comic Book Herald is a labor of love designed to help new, lapsed, and curious comic book readers explore and enjoy the wonderful world of comics. I've been developing reading orders, chronology guides, and detailed comics recommendations since late 2011. Comics can be confusing and intimidating; I try to help.
Hickman & Gillen drew me back into X-Men, so I'd like one on Gillen in the future.
chillin with gillen! for when you inevitably do a gillen series
Manhattan projects was BRaZYYYyY
Ohhhhhhh awesome, thanks for this Dave
It's a long way to December but I'm very interested into what 3W3M even becomes by then
Hickman is like that scene in life aquatic it's brilliant but I don't think they got it

I just got an email from Marvel asking me to subscribe digitally to their new 60 title lineup coming in February and, not counting X-Men 92 or X-Men Legends, there are TWENTY TWO X-titles! Wolverine, Wolverine Patch, Knights of X, X-Men, X-Men Red, X-Men Unlimited Latitude, Captain Krakoa and the X-Men, Immortal X-Men, The X-Cellent etc

So weird, I recently read this for the first time and it was probably right around when you posted this. Excited for this series! I've been going through everything Hickman since I caught up on X-Men awhile back.
Ohhhhh what a rush! Listen here Hickmaniaites ITS TIME! We want the gold sucka!
I'll have to give it a shot. I've fallen in love with his writing since Avengers.
Excited for these! Going to have to re-read this one and then watch (and then re-read the rest in time for the future months)!
This is great. Hoping this can be posted to pocketcasts so i can listen while at work
Nice news show.
The idea that this graphic novel would become a manifesto for violence against journalist is laughable. I can see why this would come from them as they are completely uncritical of the media as it stands. The likes of Alex Jones were legitimized by the legacy media that these two claim is their counter.
