Wait, What? Episode 65.1 Dec 05, 2011

Show notes

After a brief Thanksgiving break, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back for the first of two installments for Episode 65, and a look at the classic Defenders run by Steve Gerber. But of course, us being us, we also end up discussing Carrier IQ, a big bunch of Kieron Gillen books, Batman #252, and Topatoco's first collection of the amazing Oglaf by Doug Bayne and Trudy Cooper. If you've ever wondered why we haven't done very many in-depth looks at classic comic runs, this will probably help you figure out. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Wait, What? Episode 64.1 Nov 21, 2011

Show notes

Just in time for the oddball American holiday of Thanksgiving it's a black friday sized done-in-one podcast running just a hair under a hundred minutes. In it, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss the TV shows Community and Parks and Recreation; fights on Twitter (and more specifically Graeme's recent dust-up there); Avengers #19 and the brilliance of Daniel Acuna, the mini-comics Cindy and Biscuit by Dan White, Sabertooth Vampire by Mark Russell, and The End of the Fucking World by Charles Forsman. We also talk up Mud Man by Paul Grist; Batman and Robin; Wonder Woman #3, and much, much, much, much more. It's the perfect podcast for tuning out family and relatives on an endless Thursday afternoon and should tide you over for the long two weeks until we pop up next. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Wait, What? Episode 63.2 Nov 16, 2011

Show notes

After spinning around the globe for offbeat classics, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester woozily return to the USA for oddball hijinks closer to home, namely Marvel's handling of Avenging Spider-Man, the cancellation of the Victor Von Doom miniseries by Nick Spencer and Becky Cloonan, changes to Marvel's incentive payments; and the latest issues of Journey Into Mystery and Marvel's Point One promotional one-shot. We also dazedly strew some choice non-Marvellish topics along the way, in our convenient less-than-an-hour wrap-up. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Show notes

Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back for the first part of Episode 63 to talk comics. More specifically, some very offbeat comics from around the world, including The Spy vs. Spy Omnibus by Antonio Prohias; Nemesis The Warlock by Pat Mills, Kevin O'Neill, and Bryan Talbot; Strontium Dog by John Wagner, Alan Grant and Carlos Ezquerra; Crying Freeman by Kazuo Koike and Ryoichi Ikegami, and more praise for the astounding Ganges #4 by Kevin Huizenga. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Wait, What? Episode 62.1 Nov 07, 2011

Show notes

We didn't quite finish the job we started last week, so Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back with a brief, somewhat addled episode 62 to continue answering questions posed to us on the Savage Critic website. The plan was to do a strong ninety minutes but recording woes mean it's more like a slightly sketchy hour. So join us on an abbreviated trip through listeners' questions, with topics including Kid friendly books in the New52, Matt Fraction and Dave Eggers, Uncanny X-Force, Spaceman #1 and the future of Vertigo, Kevin Huizenga's Ganges, Alphas and Misfits, and as much as we can work into our unfortunately-truncated time schedule. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Here comes the conclusion to Episode 61 featuring the second part of the discussion between Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester regarding Marvel's business direction, as well as speculation on why Ed Brubaker's Fatale might have ended up over at Image, and the secret of Mark Millar's success. Plus, we finally answer readers' questions from Twitter and a select few from Savage Critic, with answers covering topics such as Wolverine And The X-Men #1, Shonen Jump Alpha, the revival of Rob Liefeld's Awesome Studios, X-Factor, and much more! And we will have more answers to the questions posed on our thread at the Savage Critic in our next podcast, we swear it... Finally, we announce the winners of our second contest! That's right, there's more than one of 'em! Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Episode 60 is super-sized, super-powered, and super-eager to go on a two week vacation.

But we also talk, yes, comics: OMAC, Action comics, X-Men Schism, a very brief chat about the latest issue of Casanova, the winner of our first contest winner, the announcement of our second contest and much, much more.

Wait, What? Episode 59.2 Oct 05, 2011

Show notes

The finale of Episode 59 picks up a split second after part 1 left off, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester launching into a discussion of Craig Thompsonapos;s Habibi, as well as reviews and opinionated blabbity-blab about the first issues of Voodoo, Superman, The Flash, and Brilliant; Bakuman vols. 5 and 6, and much more. It's almost eighty minutes of non-New Kids on the Block comic-slinging fun! As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Wait, What? Episode 59.1 Oct 03, 2011

Show notes

The premiere installment of Episode 59 is chock full of surprises--for one thing, at almost an hour long, the first fifteen minutes are spent discussing Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and New Kids on the Block in what you might call "A Lost Adventure From Jeff Lesterapos;s Past." Then Graeme McMillan goes on to review Frank Millerapos;s Holy Terror, and we look back at Grant Morrisonapos;s The Invisibles. Overall, we feel comfortable calling episode 59.1 our most decade-hoppingest podcast yet. As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!
