Gary Bickler appeared on Timcast IRL alongside host Luke Rudkowski to discuss pop culture, comic books, and their transition into reading manga and anime. During the conversation, Bickler named Frank Miller's run on Daredevil, specifically referencing Volume 2 created alongside Klaus Janson and Roger McKenzie, as his single favorite comic book run. Expanding on the topic of superhero media, Bickler brought up Jim Starlin's graphic novel The Infinity Gauntlet, using it to critique how modern cinematic adaptations handle superhero stories by unfavorably comparing them to the original comics where major characters actually die. Transitioning to Japanese media, Bickler expressed his appreciation for Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note Gold, stating that he likes the series a lot. He also mentioned Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan while discussing how he explores various manga and anime titles after receiving recommendations from others.
