Join us now for Part 1, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Siege, Dark Avengers, Lex Luthor, Flashpoint and Hot Pursuit, Joe Staton, Don Heck, and the webcomics Bucko by Jeff Parker and Erika Moen and Gingerbread Girl by Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover. There's also several minutes of high-concept story-pitching but we promise we tried to make it as painless as possible. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to Episode 24, where Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss the return of Mark Bagley to Marvel, Spider-Man (both Amazing and Ultimate) Spider-Man, the golden age of letter columns, Walt Simonson's Fantastic Four, and maybe Sammy Davis, Jr. And/or Satan. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

It's part one of Episode 23, and Graeme McMillan schools Jeff Lester in all the latest and greatest products of 21st century culture: Nicholas Cage movies, Brad Meltzer's Decoded and Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman's current run on Hulk. From there, we talk Steel which leads to Final Crisis, which leads to a discussion of Grant Morrison's Invisibles, which leads to Garth Ennis' The Boys and Preacher, and ending up...we're not entirely sure where. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

It's part one of Episode 22 and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester ring out the old year and ring in the new with notes about their holidays Then, after the eleven minute mark or so, they cover the upcoming comic book schedule for March, Marvel's Point One initiative and other publishing strategies, more updates about Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, Patton Oswalt's Wired article, and some musings about porn, comics, and porn comics. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy, and welcome to 2011!

It's part one of Episode 21, In it, Graeme McMillan and I discuss topics vitally important to every Wait, What listener--such how the hell our numbering sequence works. And Graeme's cleanse. And the holidays. Annnd basements. But then! (At more or less the 22:30 mark...) We're off to the races with in-depth discussion of one of our picks for comics newsstory of the year. It's almost an hour and fifteen minutes of chocolate comicy goodness with a creamy nougaty center, perfect for holiday consumption. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

In part two of our podcasts for Episode 18, Graeme McMillan and I are caught in media res in our discussion about Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. And before things are over, we also discuss the Lone Ranger, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica, the challenges of communicating over Twitter...and much, much more. Well, actually, a little more. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the conclusion to episode 15, Graeme McMillan and I talk recent comics, including the latest volume of Mome and the second issue of Alan Moore's Neonomicon. Yes, it's another extensive and conflicted analysis of Mr. Moore, this time focusing on how his handling of female characters. Fortunately, we somehow emerge from that potential conversational quagmire intact to also examine Kevin Huizenga's The Wild Kingdom from Drawn & Quarterly, and Benjamin Marra's Gangsta Rap Posse. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the conclusion to Episode 14, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester tackle more questions from readers, including... superhero offspring and the conclusion of One Moment In Time; the future of comic shops and the digital marketplace (recorded before Marvel's deal with Graphic.Ly was announced), photo-realistic comics and Alex Maleev, and the band Gorillaz. It's a return to super-compressed podcasting in the highly imitable Wait, What manner. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

It's the first installment of Episode 13, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester look at comics malaise for periodicals, then discuss Batman #702, the painted covers of David Finch, Marvel Two In One and The Thing during the John Byrne era, before moving on to reader's questions about Adam Warren's Empowered, and the burning age-old question: who's the most handsome blogger? We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to the first installment of Episode 12, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about some of the books mentioned in "Busiekgate"--specifically, Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman and Action Comics by Paul Cornell, before moving on to Hickman's Shield, Bendis's Secret Invasion miniseries, Matt Fraction's Casanova, Dysart's Unknown Soldier and others, before moving on to a terrifyingly epic discussion of the Buffy: The Vampire Slayer: Season Eight comic series from Dark Horse, and seasons five, six and seven of the show. And we even end on a cliffhanger! kinda. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

It's the first of two installments for Episode 11, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Wolverine: Adamantium Men by Jason Aaron and Ron Garvey, Kurt Busiek's Trinity, DC's groundbreaking miniseries 52...as well as the Final Crisis Hardcover, Seven Soldiers, and New X-Men, all by Grant Morrison. Finally, we wrap things up by idly speculating about the potential awful factor X-Men: First Class and Ghost Rider movies--all in all, it's the kind of stuff you might hear from guys who know each other too well to just sit around and talk about the weather...except that's exactly how we start the conversation. We hope you enjoy it...and thanks for listening!

In the second and last installment of Episode Nine, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester reflect at length on the possible turning point that was San Diego Comic Con 2010. If you hang around long enough, at the every end we also throw in Dr. Who, The Venture Brothers, the Return of Bruce Wayne #4, the artists of Grant Morrison, and what to make of the upcoming movie Sucker Punch. But, for better or worse, it's mostly San Diego Comic-Con 2010 on our minds. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In our third installment of Episode Eight, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester return to discuss actual comic books-- including Hellboy in Mexico and the first few issues of Brightest Day.

In the second of Episode Seven's two installments, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Darwyn Cooke and The Man With The Getaway Face, Joe Kubert's Dong Xoai Vietnam 1965, and the old school stylings of Frank Robbins, Don Heck, Eclipso and Dr. Who. Also, we apologize for minor technical difficulties--either we were too awesome for our recording software, or there's a problem with the latest version of Audacity, but there's some vocal distortion we were unable to correct in mixing.

Welcome to the third installment of Episode Six, where Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Batman and Robin, Joe the Barbarian, Daytripper, Flash Rebirth, and the penultimate issue of Blackest Night, among others.

In Episode Six's second installment, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester continue to talk about Brian Bendis, Jeff offers a new metaphor for the state of the comic industry's largest companies, neither Graeme nor Jeff can think of the word 'debfibrillator,' and we talk a lot about a handful of movies, including Bubble, An Education, and District 9.

In Episode Five's Bonus Round: Graeme McMillan is kind enough to try and educate Jeff Lester about Britpop while I try not to bust a lung. No comics were harmed in the making of this podcast--or mentioned, for that matter--so we're including this strictly as a bonus for those of you who might enjoy this sort of thing. Thanks for listening!

In the third installment of Episode Five: Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about 20th Century Boys, Oishinbo, and Dazzler: the Movie: The Graphic Novel. And there's a musical interlude. And a contest! And a pony! Except there's not really a pony. Thanks for listening!

In this first installment of Episode Five, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, continuity expectations, Blackest Night #2 and its crossovers, John Byrne's Millennium crossover and the challenges of making difficult characters charming. It's the first of several podcasts recorded right before Disney announced it was buying Marvel, so you are either saved from hearing speculation or cursed to listen to irrelevant chitchat, depending on how you see it. Either way, thanks for listening!

In Episode Four's second installment, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester answer questions from the 'mailbag'--by which we mean our comments section--including whether to keep or dispose of comics, what keeps us picking up a title, and Crying Superheroes: Threat Or Menace? Again, our thanks to everyone who provided feedback and suggested topics, and we hope you enjoy the podcast! Thanks for listening!

This is Episode 97, chasing at the heels of lucky podcast 100, and not even minor technical glitches prevent Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester from giving you two hours of funnybook babblespeak. Once again, we bend it like Bendis and start the comic talk super-early, discussing the heyday of the Incredible Hulk and the appeal of Herb Trimpe. Other topics include Four Panels That Never Work, the Fantastic Four that may no longer work, the Marvel NOW! announcements, the second Walking Dead lawsuit, The Importance of Being Dredd, Joss Whedon, Archer and Armstrong, Godland issue 36, the sublime Bakuman vol. 13...and a DC/Marvel crossover that very well may blow your mind, as well as a visit from our good old buddy much much more. As is the standard, you can find show notes at savagecritic.com. And if you find the time and would like to leave us a review on iTunes, we would be very grateful. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

After our first-ever scheduled skip week, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back with Episode 95, two hours and two barrels of auditory comic book double-talk. Once again, extensive show notes are up at savagecritic.com and we advise you use them as a roadmap to our amorphous conversational landscape...especially if you like to know how far in you need to jump to miss the non-funnybook talk. But we can tell you that we do discuss Zaucer of Zilk by Al Ewing and Brendan McCarthy, Axe Cop: President of the World #1, Prophet #27, Captain Marvel #1, National Comics: Eternity; Flash #11 and Detective Comics #11, Extreme X-Men #1, as well as updates on reading Mad Magazine, Shonen Jump Alpha and The End of the Fucking World digitally, a long spoiler-filled discussion of The Dark Knight Rises and all the Batman movies, self-consciousness versus self-awareness, and much, much more. Please keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all time, and in case of accidental oral ingestion, please induce vomiting until all foreign substances are expelled. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

This is Episode 94, recorded at the beginning of San Diego Comic-Con from two guys who didn't go. Nonethless, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have plenty of things to talk about, and we highly recommend you check out the show notes over at SavageCritic.com to find out the complete list. But we will tell you that after a long half-hour chat about how to make it on the front page of time.com and what in the world is the appeal of Michael Bay, we do get around to talking about the comics, with a tag-team review of Double Barrel #2 from Top Shelf, Jeff talks about reading three weeks of Shonen Jump Alpha in one go, and Graeme covers Dark Avengers #177, Wild Children, The Lovely Horrible Stuff by Eddie Campbell now out on digital; Action Comics #11, Infernal Man-Thing #1, and Punk-Rock Jesus. Tie it all up in a bow with a long talk about the career of Greg Rucka, add a dash of gossip about the unannounced-at-the-time Before Sandman project, and you have yourselves the making of another podcast that just about tips in at two hours and ten. You will have plenty of time to savor it because we are taking next week off, but keep an ear open for us two weeks from now with Wait, What? Ep. 95. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Episode 93 finds Graeme McMillan and me back in our respective Skypespaces and ready to mix it up! Yes, this episode may be our highest number of largely polite disagreements and one of our most varied, careening from topics like the mascots of British comic magazines to reviews of the digital launch of Monkeybrain comics; Marvel NOW!, Waffle Window Then!, LOEG: Century 2009, Brass Eye, the fabulous Popeye #3, The Massive, New Deadwardians, the glory of Batman Inc. #2, creating new IP, anxiety dreams, who is stronger, Watchmen or Walking Dead, San Diego Comic Con and, as if we could help it, much, much more in a neat two hour and ten minute package. Plus, there are once again time stamp show notes to be found over at savagecritic.com to prove to you we are giving you the biggest batch of everything and more you can buy with your ear dollars! We thank you for listening and, as always, we hope you enjoy!

Episode 92 brings Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester together again for the first time as we podcast together live from Graeme's attic in Portland Oregon. Topics discussed include Avengers and the oddness of its worldwide profits; The Amazing Spider-Man movie and its marketing scheme; Safety Not Guaranteed and a terrifying quasi-related Blair Witch Project story; our very favorite place on earth, The Waffle Window; Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty's The Manual: How to Have a Number One the Easy Way; Batman: Earth One by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, and much more. Also for the first (and maybe the last) time ever, we have time-stamped show notes waiting for you at my July 3rd entry over on the Savage Critic website! Yes, for those of you who only want to hear us talk about Spider-Man and Alpha, or Casanova, you can now narrow our ramblings down with pinpoint precision. If this is a thing you like, definitely let us know as I am already hurting my head with all the proper timestamp adjustments to be made once this introduction is recorded and it is probably worth trying to keep me motivated to do stuff like that if you like it. We thank you for listening and, as always, we hope you enjoy!

This is Episode 91, the first episode in seven months to live or die on its own, without any help from listeners' questions. Do Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have the ability to carry on a conversation without twitter or the web page whispering like Cyrano from the bushes! The answer is a resounding 'kinda,' as we cover the weather in Portland; plans for our first "live" podcast; a long discussion about Casanova 3.4; Zaucer of Zilk by Brendan McCarthy and Al Ewing; Matt Howarth, Lou Stathis, and Those Annoying Post Bros.; why the song remains the same; copied characters, satire, and analogues; the point of a first issue in modern comics; Spider-Men #1; that old Parker luck and the Spider-Man movie franchise; the evolution of Marvel's edgier heroes; Saga #4, Avengers Vs. X-Men, and more! (You know, maybe not that much more, to be honest, but definitely more!) We thank you for listening and, as always, we hope you enjoy!

This is episode ninety, wherein we follow up our final episode of answering your questions with an episode where we... answer your questions! Yes, like the proverbial killer from an eighties slasher film, this segment refuses to stay dead, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester uncover the questions from Twitter we had yet to answer...until now. Topics include buying second hand or torrenting; supporting Marvel; Skull The Slayer; favorite and least-favorite Englehart runs; Batman: Earth One by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank; a spoiler-filled discussion of Batman #10; The War of the Robins; subplots in the New 52; Spider-Men #1; Dracula World Order; forgotten and overlooked comic creators; our guilty pleasures; Andy Warhol's Robocop; the orientation of digital comics; Batman: Legend of the Dark Knight; the draw of new teams on different titles; and, just as the title credits are about to roll and you think it's over, much, much more. We thank you for listening and, as always, we hope you enjoy!

Just in time for the start of summer, it' Episode 89, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester finally finishing off questions posed by you over a month ago...but not without some technical glitches. This episode starts off In Media Tech SNAFU, with Jeff answering a question posed by Graeme before Skype goes kaput and kills our first five minutes stone dead. Fortunately, for everyone, it's an answer that makes sense without the question--as opposed to most of the time with us when that is never the case--and then we proceed to talk Action Comics #10; superhero movies and the geek comfort zone; Spawn and Glamourpuss #25; Minutemen #1 featuring an impassioned discussion over Heather Armstrong, Internet communication and freelancer responsibility; Double Barrel #1; the best reviewed comic in the world; James Ellroy in comics; Zombo; Sonic Disruptors; American Flagg; Zenith; Detective Comics and much more. Plus, exciting news for Wait, What? and a request (at least one!) for listener assistance...all in less than two hours. We thank you for listening and, as always, we hope you enjoy!

If you've got two hours, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have the podcast: Wait, What? Ep. 87! Oh, sure it starts with seven minutes of bitching and moaning about Skype but then we've got a lengthy (and spoiler-filled) discussion of the Avengers movie with only semi-continuous random-seeming comparisons to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Then: a quick talk about Saga #3 by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples; Avenging Spider-Man #7 by Kathryn and Sturart Immonen; the history of kitty cats; Saucer Country #3, Wolverine by Jason Aaron, Bakuman, Batwoman, Watchmen Toasters, The Oral History of DC's Countdown over at Funnybook Babylon, Blackest Night, and more. And in our never-ending attempts to answer your questions, we discuss why writers in comics seem to get all the credit, Viz Comics, Taboo, the ZX Spectrum, Starblazer, the mysteries of Reverse Aquaman, Thor and the New Gods, Thanos and where the credit resides for Marvel's cosmic stories, Matt Fraction's Thor, grappling with the career of Brian Bendis and much, much more. (Although not as much as when we usually run two hours and fifteen minutes.) As always, we hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Episode 86 has arrived, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are along for the ride, answering not only questions asked by you but also stuff you most pointedly did not ask. Yep, for two hours and fifteen minutes or so, we discuss topics like San Diego Comic Con, Joss Whedon and the weather, trolling, Radiolab, Mark Ruffalo cheesestraws and Clark Gregg carmelized olives, the nicest people in comics, Scott Morse, Walt Simonson's Orion, The New 52 free comic book day comic book, Greg Rucka, Books of Magic, Superman's heat vision, Chris Roberson's Memorial, comic book pricing, how we would spend twenty dollars on digital comics, our favorite cheesecake artists, Gail Simone, Brian Woods' The Massive, Jim Shooter and world-class editors, Jim Steranko, 20th Century Boys and Bakuman, when is it okay to buy comics, and as always, much, much more. With luck, the Internet will still be around by the time we finish answering everyone's questions but even if not, we thank you for listening and hope you enjoy!

Graeme McMillan and I have come here to do two things: talk comic books and chew bubble gum. And we are all out of gum. But actually, for the first fifteen minutes it seems like we are also all out of comic books as we instead talk about Graceland, Video Games, and TV theme songs. But then we get on to the good stuff as defined and regulated by law, with talk about Action #9, Earth Two #1, and Avengers Vs. X-Men #3. And finally, we start answering more of your questions from Twitter, with topics like level-ups in comics, Apocalypse Now, John Romita Jr., today's hottest artists, today's favorite artists, cereal mascot deathmatch, Valiant Comics, Marvel trades, the big two's history of strange, Disney and Marvel, Damon Lindelof, Brad Bird, Shonen Jump Alpha, Mad Magazine, Saucer Country, the new deadwardians, suicide squad, sinestro war, blackest night, fear itself, civil war, and much more. It is two hours of the talking cure for sequential entertainment blues and as always, we hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

After a slight delay, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back for Episode 83, just a shade more than two hours and twenty-five minutes of comic book reviews, gossip, and shop talk. We do our best to cover a lot of ground including Iron Muslim and Zombies vs. Fanboys from Boom Comics, Kirby: Genesis, the current state of comics and the comics internet including Chris Roberson quitting DC and David Brothers' amazing article over at Comics Alliance, Before Watchmen, Grant Morrison, Brian Bendis and Avengers Assemble #2, as well as the Oral History of the Avengers, the eighth issues of Wonder Woman Justice League, OMAC, and Batman, Casanova #3, The Shadow #1, The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, Alabaster Wolves, Saga #2, Archie Meets KISS, Prophet #24, more issues of Glamourpuss, and much, much more! As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Welcome to the done-in-one Eightieth Episode of Wait, What? We don't mean to come off as wishy-washy, but we felt there were a lot of good points as to why we should stick to oners when it comes to the podcast, so, at least for a while, that's what we're going to stick to, but feel free to leave comments at SavageCritic.com or at [email protected], But so, yes. A two hour and twenty-plus minute done in one, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester spending the first forty minutes or so kicking the can about the reception to the John Carter movie, the lack of interesting Wondercon news, shelling pistachios, costume design, and conspiracy theories about bad movies. Then, realizing we are not going to be breaking the episode in twain, we really get underway with discussions about The Wasteland Omnibus, reading The Flash and writing for the trades, Justice League #7 and the Shazam! back-up, Secret Avengers: The Children's Crusade, Avengers X-Sanction #4, Wolverine #303, Dominique LeVeau Voodoo Queen, Wonder Woman #7, Astonishing X-Men and Wolverine and The X-Men, and a heckuva lot more. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thank for listening!

It's the second and final part of Episode 79! This time around, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester review some comics for a change, including the latest issues of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel and Faith, Frankenstein, Agent of Shade and Batwoman, and the first issues of Saucer Country, Scalped , Crossed Badlands, Saga, Avengers Assemble, and of course Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man. At a little over an hour, it's the bite-sized podcast that fits in your pocket! We welcome your preferences as to one longer episode or two shorter episodes either in the comments thread at savagecritic.com or via email at [email protected]. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

This is the first of two installments for Episode 79. Yes, in an attempt to see what listeners prefer, we are bringing back the two hour long installments in a week approach. This time around, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Assbutts and iPhones, Alan Moore's latest interview, Rich Johnston and the need for a comics scapegoat. Plus, Graeme and I wonder if and when our discussions of comics and creators have gone too far. If you have a comment on that situation, we'd welcome it at either the comments thread for this episode at SavageCritic.com, or via email at [email protected]. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

In Episode 78, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have any number of topics so hot they can only be handled with your ears--topics like what Savage Critic rating we would give The Bible, spinoff books that can never seem to escape their progenitors, a squalid confession of drug use and Dr. Who abuse from Jeff, Action Comics, The Legion of Superheroes, Birds of Prey, Fairest, the first issues of Saucer Country, Hell Yeah, Manhattan Projects (with spoilers for the first issue), Superbia, Fatale #3, Fantastic Four: Season One, the amazing King City TPB from Brandon Graham, Detective Comics, G.I. Joe: Cobra, Wolverine #302, DC Nation on Cartoon Network, and much, much more. (And for those of you who might be concerned, Jeff re-watched the Dr. Who season finale and officially found it keen, although he still prefers the Vincent Van Gough episode.) As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are coming at you with both barrels blazing--and by "both" we mean "more than two" and by "barrels," we mean "hours of answering your questions from a few weeks back." Yes, it only takes us two hours and forty minutes to answer (almost) everyone's questions--we actually talk so long Graeme turns into cosmic buzzing seafoam at the very end--but answer them we do, scheduling and artistic teams on DC, new 52 titles and teams we would like to see, The New 52: Threat of Menace?, Marvel movies and costumes in superhero movies, alternative sexual relationships in comics, 2000 AD and Shonen Jump Alpha, our favorite books of the 80s, a moment in Defenders #3 Jeff totally blew past, J.M. DeMatteis' The Defenders, The Shadow, The Red Circle, Milestone and other comics lines, X-Men franchises vs. Teen Titans, speculation over the changes in the Marvel dancecard, real world landmarks in imaginary world, our favorite Superman, Dr. Who, John Byrne's Fantastic Four, Rick Jones, Downton Abbey comics, the Shooterverse, and, as you're probably used to by now, much, much more. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

After a short hiatus, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back with Ep. 75, two hours and twenty-plus minutes of comics controversy inspired chatter. In our first half, we look at battles between creators over their properties with examples like: Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and The Walking Dead; Gary Friedrich and Ghost Rider; L.J. Smith and The Vampire Diaries; John Rozum, Scott McDaniel, and Static Shock; and, believe it or not, James Doohan and William Shatner and Star Trek. We also cover Brian Bendis's ideas for the New 52; sales expectations for the Marvel and DC; Marvel's possible reboot and their strategies for Avengers Vs. X-Men; the myth of the Marvel Architects and books with buzz; the latest Superman villain; Joss Whedon and Buffy The Vampire Slayer; what we miss about the post-Crisis DCU; and a vow to catch up with all outstanding listener questions...next time. As ever, we thank you so much for listening, and hope you enjoy!

Episode 74 was supposed to be the two hour wrap-up to Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester answering your questions...but then a little project called Before Watchmen got announced and we sidetracked. For first eighty minutes, we talk Watchmen, Before Watchmen, Multiversity, Darwin Cooke, Amanda Conner, Len Wein, John Higgins, Dave Gibbons and the mighty sleeveless one himself, Alan Moore. It's the conversation you've been having in your head for weeks now in convenient podcast format. Then, for the next forty minutes, we also answer readers' questions. All five of them. But in doing so, we end up discussing Batman: Leviathan, Mike Barron and Steve Rude's Nexus, Jack Kirby's Machine Man, books we regret recommending, The Drops of God, Earth X, Fantastic Four, Micronauts, Chris Claremont's last storyline on Uncanny X-Men,the Image anniversary, and more. We look forward to continuing to finishing the current round of questions well into the mid-21st Century, and thank you for listening!

Welcome to episode 71, complete with new theme music courtesy of the talented Graeme McMillan. We've got two hours and forty-five minutes of comic book cross talk for you, with topics like OMAC and the other cancelled new52 titles, the current state of George Perez's career, Marvel's marketing, Mark Millar's Trouble and Spider-Man, comments by Charles Vess and Ariel Olivetti about Marvel, Mark Waid's Amazing Spider-Man/Daredevil crossover, Jason Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men as well as Wolverine #300. Plus, a lot of babbling from Jeff about PunisherMAX #21, a debate how many issues a creator might have in them, Secret Avengers, Astonishing X-Men, and Warren Ellis and in-canon behavior, James Robinson and Shade, the preview issue of Shonen Jump Alpha, and Marvel Two-in-One vol. 4. And, of course, a little bit of cowbell in our new music. Who would want for anything more? We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Welcome to 2012, and welcome to episode 69. Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are experimenting with podcast length, and so have given you a done-in-one hour and fifty minute chatstravaganza. In it we talk Christmas presents, ethical dilemmas, Daredevil #7, The first part of Batman: Leviathan Strikes, the fourth issues of Justice League, Wonder Woman, and Batman, Tales Designed to Thrizzle, Pope Hats by Ethan Rilly, The Annotated Sandman, and the insanity that is Crying Freeman. If you have an opinion about the podcast length or the number or installments, or just want to mouth off, we invite you to drop us a line at [email protected]. We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Episode 68 is part one of an especially rambling year in review from Graeme McMillan and me. Part one, which is an hour and twenty minutes long manages to cover our Christmas with The Swamp Thing special, shopping and other holiday thoughts; DC's New 52; Marvel's trade paperback program; day and date digital; things that come out of Brian Bendis's mouth, the paintings of Sharon Moody (who I erroneously call Shannon Moody for the whole damn podcast!); the voices of the Marvel Architects and a long analysis of the year's crossover events through the only lens that matters--that of Mark Millar. Although the episode installs abruptly--we cannot tell you why the outro music failed to end up in our final mix--we hope you enjoy and come back for part two. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 67 moves from putting some coal in your stocking to giving you suggestions for gifts you might want to give that special someone--even or maybe especially if that special someone is yourself. After reeling in shock over how many episodes we produced this year, Graeme McMillan and I slowly recover so we can bring you a long list of holiday gift suggestions. Some of what we mention will be familiar to long-time listeners but there are also some surprises in our picks in order to give you a list of more than 30 holiday gift suggestions. We hope you enjoy and wish you the very best this holiday season. Thanks for listening!

Episode 67 might start off seeming a bit diffuse--with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talking The Nerdist Playlist; storytelling tricks in pinball and in Lost--but it ends up focused with laser-like precision as we turn our attention to the post-Fear Itself interview by Matt Fraction and Tom Brevoort concerning the epilogues. In a Wait, What? first for us, we're splitting the episode in two but posting both parts at the same time, so feel free to jump ahead to part 2, if you'd rather hear us discuss our picks for a comic book holiday gift list. Or listen to both! We would be happy, either way. But, as always, we thank you for listening and hope you enjoy!

The second of Episode 65's two installments features not only mallomars, but a teeny-ting bit more discussion of Steve Gerber's Defenders. Plus, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester also discuss Matt Fraction's recent appearance on Word Balloon, the pros and cons of interviewing pros, being trolled on Twitter, Watchmen 2, the price of satisfaction. Also, we reveal some of our terrifying purchasing decisions in this ninety-plus minute conclusion. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

After a two week vacation, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back with a two part Episode 61, answering your questions from Twitter, email, and the website, as well as starting new favorite talking/arguing points. In part 1, we cover Daredevil #5, Legion Lost #2, Luther and Justified, Flash #2, Justice League Dark #2, Casanova: Avarita #2, Fear Itself #7, Occupy Oakland and start talking about about Marvelapos;s business practices. Itapos;s a full hour of back-in-the-swing-of-things irradiated discourse. We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Episode 60 is super-sized, super-powered, and super-eager to go on a two week vacation. So not only do Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk Marvelapos;s new digital incentive, Septemberapos;s sales numbers, Apple and Occupy Wall Street. 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. We will see you in two weeks! As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

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!

Our bite-sized finale to Episode 58 features reviews from Graeme McMillan and me of Green Lantern Corps, Birds of Prey, Daredevil #4, Witch Doctor #3, LoSH #1, Captain Atom, the original Legion Lost, X-Men: Schism #4, and some thoughts on buying digital. Also, we are holding a fantastic contest with amazing prizes. Well, prize actually, and your working defintion of amazing will have to be pretty loose but....check it out, anyway! As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Episode 58 starts out with a bit of a swerve--instead of digging into more of the titles from DCapos;s New 52, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk Chester Brownapos;s Paying For It and do a preview of Craig Thompsonapos;s Habibi. Not to worry though, we also talk Blue Beetle, Catwoman, Red Hood and The Outlaws, Batman, and Wonder Woman, among others. And Part 2, with even more discussion about even more books is right around the corner. As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Episode 57 finds more of the two discussing the ones--yes, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss not only the Miles Morales-based Ultimate Spider-Man #1, but also New 52 books like Deathstroke #1 ( with some spoilers), Red Lantern #1, Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1, Demon Knights #1, Suicide Squad #1, Green Arrow #1 and Justice League International #1, as well as discussion about the August estimated sales numbers from ICV2, and a delicious waffles update. As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester continue to dig deep into the weekapos;s comics in our ninety-two minute finale to episode 56, with looks at Action Comics #1, G. Willow Wilsonapos;s Mystic, Wolverine: Debt of Death one-shot, IDWapos;s G.I. Joe: Cobra series, Kirby Genesis #3, our worries about the conclusion to X-Men: Schism, and, of course, the unmissable Casanova #3 by Matt Fraction and Gabriel Ba, as well as much more. As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Technical shenanigans continue as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester deal with a new headset and recording levels. Thank goodness, we also talk comic books, lots of comic books. Comic books like OMAC #1, Batgirl #1, Animal Man #1, Detective Comics #1, Swamp Thing #1, Stormwatch #1 and, of course... X-Men #17? As it says on the tin: Wait, What? We promise it makes sense. As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the cursed podcast--Wait, What? Ep. 55.1. The podcast so nice we had to record it twice. No, really, we had to record it twice. Something on my computer got screwed up and...I canapos;t even talk about it anymore, Iapos;m sorry. Letapos;s just chalk it up to "nice." Installment 1 is just under and hour and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have a very long chat about Flashpoint #5 and Justice League #1, with many digressions, dramatic readings, and punchy semi-epiphanic realizations along the way. We hope you enjoy it, and hope you check back in a day or two for Ep. 55apos;s dramatic conclusion! Thanks for listening!

In celebration of the end of summer, here's a super-sized Episode 54 of Wait, What?, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talking Black Panther: The Man Without Fear Fear Itself, the Internet backlash against Grant Morrison, whether creators are the new superheroes, Justice League Dark, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Strikes Again and his upcoming Holy Terror, West Coast Avengers, The Ultimates, and, believe me, much, much more. It's the kind of thing we'd normally split in two, so pace yourself with this one hour and fifty minute late summer feast. As we mentioned, if you feel like sending us gossip, questions or idle chitchat, now you can at [email protected] We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

Here comes the conclusion to Episode 53, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discussing the recent DC Showcase: The Trial of the Flash, Mark Millar's run on Ultimate X-Men and The Authority, Ultimate Fallout #6, Wonder Woman: Retroactive, a troubling trend with Diamond's distribution, and much more. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

Today in the first of two installments for Episode 53, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester reflect on Fear Itself #5, and Marvel's plans for its post-Fear Itself future; Flashpoint #4, Flashpoint: The Secret Seven, and Flashpoint: The Outsider; X-Men: Schism, Wolverine #13, PunisherMax #16 as well as the work of Jason Aaron; and the truly enjoyable Daredevil #2. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

The wrap-up to our podcast with the popular number 52 is here, and in it Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester continue to answer questions from listeners on Twitter, with topics like Chris Roberson's Superman, recommendations for crazy silver-age DC stories, NuMarvel, comic book movies, Bendis and Ultimate Fallout, New Dark Avengers, Wally Gropius, what 2012 might hold in store for the comics industry, confusion about Marvel and Comixology, Legion of Super-Heroes, who is doing things right in comics (and wrong), skinny, bald comic writers versus chubby bearded ones, Frank Darabont and Walking Dead, and -- believe it or not -- more. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

Dreaded by some, adored by others, it's time for another Wait, What? where we answer questions from listeners who follow us on Twitter.

Welcome to part 1 of Episode 51. In it, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Miles Morales, the new Ultimate Spider-Man, the legal decision regarding Marvel and Jack Kirby, Nick Spencer's Secret Avengers, Alan Moore, and what the subject of the Wait, What? Lifetime Original Movie would be. It's slightly more than an hour of funny-book blab, with part two right around the corner. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

It is the dramatic conclusion of the fiftieth episode of Wait, What? and we warn you in advance: it is a little bit of a downer note to our normally sunny podcast. Graeme McMillan and I discuss rumors of the Walking Dead TV show, trailers for the movies Outbreak and Haywire, San Diego news, the death of Amy Winehouse and the rampage in Oslo, Supergods by Grant Morrison, the X-Men, and the ambitions of people in the comics industry. Yes, it is more than sixty minutes of oddball funny book philosophizing and its oddballiest and more than a bit grim in places but we hope you will stick with us. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

You are listening to part one of the the fiftieth episode of Wait, What? In it, Graeme McMillan I discuss Daredevil #1, the Defenders relaunch, Incognito and expectations in comics, the careers of Jims Starlin and Shooter, Alan Moore's Captain Britain, and, uh, more. It's just over an hour of comic book chatter, and part two is right around the corner. We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

It's the second and final installment of Episode 47, and Graeme McMillan and I finally discuss the movies Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class. We also talk about the wonderful Mindless Ones podcast interview with Grant Morrison, and also Graeme' picks for the DCnU titles, Gingerbread Girl, and the proverbial "much more". We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Episode 43 was recorded the week after DC has announced its reboot in September filled with 52 new first issues, a commitment to go day and date for digital sales and other gamechanging possibilities. Coming back from a surprisingly eventful week away, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester catch up with their thoughts of I, Vampire #1, Batman #1, Sexy Man-Bat #1 Wonder Woman #1, and all the announcements released by the time of our discussion. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Episode 42 is chock full o' good stuff with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discussing our changing impressions about the Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class movies, a reconsideration of Cry For Justice, reviews of Batwoman Elegy, Wolverine: Insane in the Brain, Superman: The Black Ring, Mr. Wonderful by Dan Clowes, centennial issues and much, much more. It's a robust hour and forty minutes of comics talk, enough to keep you sated during our upcoming brief vacation. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

We've got Episode 41 for you and in it Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss the process of writing reviews for Savage Critic, confusion on our own rating system, the conclusion of the Flash series, Flashpoint #1 and its possible ramifications, Thor The Motion Picture, X-Men: First Class and much more in a convenient 75 minute pill-like format. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the conclusion of Episode 40: In a little over an hour, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester answer questions from listeners on Twitter. Topics include perennial favorites like Jack Kirby and Grant Morrison, as well as new topics like characters we're tired of, characters who've changed over the years, our favorite comics from companies other than Image, Dark Horse and Oni and much, much more. It's fun, it's free and we hope you enjoy!

And just in time for the 10th anniversary of the Savage Critic website, it's the first installment of Episode 40! In it, Graeme McMillan and myself talk Time Masters: Vanishing Point, the work of Dan Jurgens, the publicity surrounding Flashpoint, the Prism Awards, and we speculate on what goes on at the Marvel sausage factory that makes Spider-Island roll off the assembly line. You also get my super-unhappy review of Avengers 12.1 by Brian Bendis and Brian Hitch. We hope you enjoy it, and, as always, thank you for listening!

Here's our conclusion to Episode 39 with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talking Walt Simonson's The Mighty Thor Omnibus: Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty; Wolverne: Insane in the Brain trade paperback by Jason Aaron, Yanick Paquette, and C.P. Smith; Moon Knight #1 by Bendis and Maleev; Thor #1 by Matt Fraction and Oliver Coipel, the aftermaths of Brightest Day and Justice League: Generation Lost, and our speculation about Flashpoint. All of this in under an hour? As Graeme would say, "you bet your bippy!" We hope you enjoy it, and, as always, thank you for listening!

Welcome to Installment 1 of Episode 39 wherein Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Fear Itself #2 and our expectations for event crossovers, generally. Careful listeners will also be able to find discussions of Journey Into Mystery #1, trailers for Green Lantern and Conan, and Graeme's latest dietary adventures.

Davies's The Writer's Tale, Dave McKean'Celluloid, Action Comics #900, Rob Liefeld's Shrink, Casanova, Brightest Day, the idea of Black Avengers, and the appeal of superheroes.

It's ninety-plus minutes of rollicking comics action that may still be less than two weeks old by the time you hear it! We hope you enjoy it, and, as always, thank you for listening!

Continuing our almost/not-quite-on-time schedule, this is Episode 36, an almost-didn't-happen shortcast, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss the Doomsday event, JLA, Dan Didio's Outsiders, Fear Itself, Green Lantern: Secret Origin, and Ultimate Fallout. Fortunately, the recording levels are a little more steady so we have that going for us. We hope you enjoy it, and, as always, thank you for listening!

Welcome to the slightly-delayed Episode 35, wherein Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester do battle with the odd recording levels of my new headset, captured live for you in newly patented "Arghhh Audio." (We hope to have it worked out before too long.) Apart from the miracle of Arghhh, Audio, we also have discussions on Fear Itself #1, the upcoming Flashpoint, a critical re-examination of Fraction and Ferry's Thor, Paul Friedrich's Onion Head Monster: Catastrophic, as well as answering listener questions on Twitter. We hope you enjoy it, appreciate your patience while we continue to work out the recording kinks, and thank you for listening!

It's the conclusion of Episode 32, and Graeme McMillan and I continue talking comics new and old, including Jack Kirby's Captain America Omnibus, Ultimate Spider-Man, Daredevil and the Punisher, X-Force #5, James Stokoe's Won Ton Soup, Sean Chiki's Wunderkammer #3, and more. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

It's the first part of Episode 32, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester start off by examining reaction to one of Graeme's recent online articles, before going on to disscuss comics like Criminal and Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man by Dan Slott and Marcos Martin, Punisher Max issue 11 by Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon, James Robinson's two Jimmy Olsen specials, Aaron and Ahmed, by Jay Cantor and James Romberger, and other upcoming releases and news. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to Episode 31, an unofficial salute by Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester to crazy comics. We start by trying to map the Rat Pack onto the Justice League and end up--well, let's just say it's pretty hard to tell for sure where we end up. But along the way, we talk Martian Manhunter, Justice League Detroit, Takio, Michael Fleisher's run on Ghost Rider, John Romita, Jr., L'il Punisher and more. Skype gave Graeme some problems, my headset gave me some problems, but hopefully Levelator and noise removal technology is not giving you any problems whatsoever. If so, drop us a note and please let us know. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to Episode 30, wherein Mr. Graeme McMillan and myself discuss the glory that is Mike Friedrich's Justice League of America, the mystery of cliffhangers, the future of slow-burns and subplots, Veronica Mars, Dave Roman's Astronaut Academy, and much more. Well, a little more. And this is our first podcast where we used Levelator and noise removal on the mixing. Can you tell the difference? Let us know! We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

This is the first of three installments for Episode 29, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester start by discussing the passing of Dwayne McDuffie, before moving on to answer questions on Twitter--many, many questions. In this installment, we cover topics like teaching, the power of scientific thinking, Denny O'Neil and Justice League, the joys of Bob Haney's The Brave & The Bold, the first comics we ever read, and the secret of our own dumb-assedness. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

This is our prologue to Episode 28, a non-comics extravaganza wherein Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about They Might Be Giants, Randy Newman, and the British TV comedy triumvirate of The IT Crowd, Father Ted, and Brass Eye. It's all the comics-free content you would want from a comics podcast...and then some! We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

It's Episode 25, recorded before last week's Wake, What? special: Return with us now to the halcyon days of yesteryear when Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discussed Netflix, the casting decisions for The Dark Knight Rises, Marvel's coming Thor relaunch, Batman, Inc. #2, and the discussion between Matt Fraction and Bryan Lee O'Malley in the latest issue of Casanova. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to a special "jumped the line" edition of Wait, What?--Wake, What?, wherein Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester pay tribute to the career of the departed member of the Fantastic Four by barely bothering to talk about him at all. Instead, we cover candor in comics interviews and at comics companies, the state of comics journalism, and touch briefly on Achewood, Reid Fleming, and the curious case of Steve Englehart and his Vision and Scarlet Witch miniseries. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the conclusion of Episode 23, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk The Walking Dead, Fables, JLA, Wolverine: The Best There Is, and the allure (or lack thereof) of fantasy novels. We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

It's the conclusion to Episode 22, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about nearly everything--Fear Itself, Green Lantern, our comic picks for 2012, John Byrne and Doc Doom, Darren Aronofsky and Black Swan, Aaron Sorkin and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip--in short, a little bit of something for everyone. Actually, considering this episode is an hour and forty-two minutes, it may qualify as having a lot for everyone. Let's just say if you wanted a podcast where the term "White Power Odin" was thrown around and a debate breaks out about the history of Man-Wolf, this may be the podcast for you. We hope you enjoy, happy new year, and thanks for listening!

It's our grand finale to Episode 21, and in it, Graeme McMillan and I discuss our favorite books of the year, Graeme gives you ten, I agree on four, and I throw in another three or so. Regular listeners may think they'll know our list before it even starts, but at least one title that turns up has never been discussed here at all. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

It's our concluding installment of Episode 20, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about more of everything: X-Men's recent Vampires storyline, DC: Legacy and the 75th anniversary of DC; the state of Superman; the marketing acumen of Mark Millar; Tron: Legacy; and quick reviews of The Social Network, Redline, and The Informant! Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

It's our first installment of Episode 20, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester jump in feet-first to talk recent comics: Paul Cornell's Action Comics Annual, the first arc of Matt Fraction and Pascal Ferry's Thor, the trade editions of 52, New Avengers #7, press releases from Marvel, and possible Wondercon plans. It's hour long comic book conversing in the mighty Wait, What manner! Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

Our second and final installment of Episode 19 is a giant holiday gift bag of a podcast, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester answer questions from friends and listeners on Twitter about topics like: our favorite editors, comics we were embarrassed to read, our favorite Christmas comics, the $2.99 pricing wars, the first five pages of Graeme's Jack Kirby S.A.N.T.A. comic, Carol Ferris, and much, much, much--and we are not exaggerating here--much more in a podcast that falls just shy of two hours. You've probably wondered where Graeme and I fall on that whole Spider-Man: Threat or Menace issue--here's your chance to find out. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

It's our first part of Episode 19, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester spend the first fifteen minutes talking about the most important problem facing comic book fans today--diet. If your dream podcast is listening to two guys who love food talk about the pains and pleasures of going on a cleanse, the first fourteen minutes and thirty seconds of this podcast is for you. After that, we move on to discuss more traditional topics--the Walking Dead TV show, digital comics generally and the Marvel Vault in particular, and recent promotions at DC comics. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In our ultra-long finale for for Episode 18, Graeme McMillan and I go all insider-basebally and talk about who our dream picks would be for the Editor-In-Chief positions for both Marvel and DC. Not a single piece of indecision, rambling digression, or sideways observation has been cut in this Wait-stravaganza which comes in at a little under an hour and fifteen minutes. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In our first installment for Episode 18, geek life is slow-rolling as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester start talking with a failed cold open, then move on to talk about bad weather, bad backs and not-so-bad TV on Netflix. Those who want to jump to the action should go to approximately the 16:55 mark when we discuss Superman vs. Muhammad Ali and the Absolute Edition of All-Star Superman (the latter half of the discussion being very spoilerific). We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In our third installment and final for  Episode 17, it's the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali of comic podcasts as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester go head-to-head on The Return of Bruce Wayne #6 and Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder #16. No quarter is asked and none is given in this epic hour-long thrashing out of the particulars. And of course, by the time this is mixed and posted it, yet another Grant Morrison Batman comic will appeared, threatening to keep the cycle running in perpetuity.... We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In our second installment for  Episode 17, Graeme McMillan and I give you the comprehensive discussion of J. Michael Straczynski's departure from writing Superman and Wonder Woman--a discussion so comprehensive it consists mainly of old storylines from New Guardians and Justice League Detroit. Comic books about making kites, Loeb and Finch's Ultimatum, and Nick O'Teen also figure in to our cutting-edge news analysis.  Somehow. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Our first installment of Episode 17 goes gloriously awry in just about every way as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester sit down with a checklist of topics to talk about, and proceed to discuss none of them.  We do, however, talk about Netflix Watch Instantly, Zardoz, Iron Man 2, the new footage of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern and--unfortunately for perhaps all involved--cartoonists "what are sexy" and cartoonists "what are not." It's as sexy as we're going to get until the day, somewhere far in the future, when Graeme agrees to breaks out his Tom Jones impression. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

It's Episode 16, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have close to ninety minutes of nonstop gabbity-gab for your listening pleasure--on british comics character badass Judge Dredd, Brooklyn-based comics blogger badass Tucker Stone, and American comic book writer rockstar, Matt Fraction. Maybe it should be shorter, maybe it should be longer, but either way... it's here for your listening pleasure! We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Do you recall where you were when DC and Marvel announced they would be bringing back the $2.99 cover price? Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester do, because they were right in the middle of recording this! In the first of two installments for episode 15, we review the ever-changing marketplace by scrutinizing the editorial line up change at Vertigo, analyzing Bob Harras' career change at DC, and then trying to suss out what the reaction will be to DC's price change announcement. It's like watching the news from a month ago get in a barfight with the news from two weeks ago and you are there to get covered in stale pretzels and beer! We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the first of two installments for Episode 14, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester take a long look at Alan Moore's recent controversial interview, and then try to make some sense out of the current comics marketplace. Needless to say, we solve everyone's problems in just over an hour. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the second and final installment of Episode 13, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester tackle more questions from readers, including... our favorite new artists, the webcomic Menage a 3; the new trend for families and franchises; The Hulk and the new brainy guy stereotype; Punisher: Happy Ending; one of the more unorthodox ways to consider the strengths of various writers; Graeme tries to collapse the Internet and Jeff talks about recent comics he's purchased; Dork #7 is judged and considered; and much more--as much as we can jam into eighty minutes. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

This is the second of two installments for Episode 12, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester resolve their "cliffhanger" by finishing their discussion of Joss Whedon's work post-Buffy, Then, they answer questions submitted on Twitter about criticism in the industry, Mark Waid's comments at the Harvey Awards, the possible future of Vertigo and Wildstorm, Batman #702, their five favorite monthlies, and so much more, it shocks even them.... We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

It's the second and final of two installments for Episode 11, and Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Jack Kirby's Loser Omnibus, The Hunger Dogs, Jimmy Olsen, Rucka, Gates and Robinson's recently wrapped run on Superman, Action Comics and the World of New Krypton. Then, apparently, Skype decides it's had enough of me trying to talk trash about the Comixology app and cuts things short. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the first of two installments for Episode 10, it's Scott Pilgrim vs. The Podcast, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Scott Pilgrim: the Movie, Scott Pilgrim: the animation, Scott Pilgrim: the book and Scott Pilgrim: the box office. It's everything any self-respecting Scott-a-holic would want...and probably then some. I'd like to say we avoided the inevitable follow-up discussion of what all this might mean for the future of comic book movies...but we kinda didn't. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy it...and thanks for listening!

This is our prologue to Episode 10, and by "prologue," we mean, "stuff Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talked about for almost twenty minutes before Skype crashed." In it, we discuss the weather, RSS code, Itunes, and Jeff unsuccessfully tries to stalk a fan of the podcast. It's a terrifying peek behind the curtain and utterly unrelated to the topic of comic books. But a couple of cheap jokes made us decide it might be fun to include. If you want to skip it, we totally understand and we're listing installments 1 and 2 of Episode 10 as something separate. If you do stick around we hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

In the first of two installments for Episode Nine, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester briefly touch on all the great things the Pacific Northwest has to offer: Brian Bendis and the first issue of Scarlet; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Mudhoney; and, of course, the Green River Killer. Then, we touch on the first trade paperback of Dark Avengers, Daredevil and the current Shadowland story arc, the first three issues of Secret Avengers, Spider-Man and One Moment In Time, and Paul Cornell and Action Comics Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the podcast!

In the conclusion of Episode Eight, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss ten years of Smallville and what that might say about Superman, The Return of Bruce Wayne, Sparta USA, Wildstorm's A God Somewhere, The Rise of Arsenal #3, violent comics from Marvel and DC, online critics, the conclusion of Lost, and we check in with Graeme's strange X-Men Forever obsession.

In Episode Eight's second installment, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester veer sharply away from comics and discuss Glee, Chuck and spend a ridiculous amount of time on the penultimate episodes of Lost as they try to figure out how the whole thing will wrap up. If you like podcasts where you can listen and sadly shake your head from the vantage point of the future while people fumble around blind, this is the podcast installment for you.

In this first installment for Episode Eight, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss DC's Wednesday Comics hardcover, Howard Chaykin's Black Kiss, Brandon Graham's King City, and of course....Little Archie.

In the first of Episode Seven's two installments, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss the limits of our podcasting abilities (or inabilities, actually ) as well as the unexpected marital complications of Free Comic Book Day. We also cover Kirby's Fourth World as interpreted by Grant Morrison and Walt Simonson, and works by Kate Beaton, Dash Shaw, Chris Ware, and upcoming projects from Alan Moore.

In the first installment for Episode Six, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Crisis on Infinite Earths, Siege and the careers of two Brians, Azzarello and Bendis.

In Episode Five's second installment: Disney bought Marvel, Warner stepped in at DC to bring in more oversight, and the government instituted a program for blogging disclosure that baffled everyone--but this installment of Wait, What? is still shockingly listenable: Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about are DMZ, Local, and the writing career of Brian Wood, comics in PDF format, Peter and Max: A Fable Novel; and a winding analysis of Dave Cockrum's return to Uncanny X-Men. We hope you have a listen, and we hope you still remember those far-off days of early September when people could talk about review copies without spending twenty minutes worrying about whether they might have their house seized. Thanks for listening!

In this special giant-sized edition, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester rush to talk about Disney's potential purchase of Marvel before the topic gets all talked out. Rather than break this up, we made this one giant-sized 90-plus minute podcast, heavy on the speculative policy wonk. If it sounds like the sort of thing you'd rather skip, then you should probably skip it. But if you've got a lot of time to kill, and want to kill it with rampant idle speculation and the word Pixar thrown about like rice at wedding, then Tigger you've hit the jackpot!

In this final installment of our fourth episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are the comics podcast of Michael Meyers from Halloween-- just when you think they're dead, they get up and start talking again. In this installment, we talk about Chris Claremont, Mark Millar, Tyrese Gibson's Mayhem, Captain America Reborn #2, Aquaman, and, of course, the trending topic on every fanboy's lips--Julie and Julia. The whole thing runs close to an hour, and has a little meta patch around the thirty minute point, so forewarned is four-armed.

In our third installment of Episode Four, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about our reactions to Blackest Night, Legion of Three Worlds, the career of Geoff Johns, Amazing Spider-Man, and then back to Geoff Johns a little more.

In our first installment of Episode Four, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss DC's Wednesday Comics, as originally published. Later installments will be longer but we decided to set off this series of installments with something atypically short and self-contained. Our thanks to everyone who provided feedback and suggested topics, and we hope you enjoy the podcast!

In our self-contained third episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about San Diego Comic-Con 2009 and our different experiences there, two new books that we read, and touch briefly on the genius of Eddie Campbell.

In episode two's third installment, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester discuss Phonogram, the first issue of Detective Comics by Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams and the first issue of Greek Street. We also talk about the failed TV show Kings, the pilot for Virtuality, and then pretty much it's a free for all in the last ten minutes.

In the second installment of episode two, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester cover the critical reception to Cry for Justice #1, Captain America: Reborn #1, Mark Millar and Brian Hitch's Fantastic Four and the works of Jeph Loeb.

In our first installment of our second episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about problems with the Internet, gossip, comic pitches, Transformers, Doctor Who, Simon Furman, Larry Hama, digital comics and of course, the song Hungry Eyes

In our first "minicast," Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Captain America No. 600. We apologize for minor technical glitches. The sound mixing gets much better from here, we promise.

In the third installment of our first episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Alan Moore, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century and the perils of grim and gritty comics

In the second installment of our first episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about Grant Morrison and his work on Batman RIP, Seaguy, and Final Crisis.

In the very first installment of our first episode, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talk about the genius that is Marvel Comics' Dazzler. However, because we are still learning the ropes of how to record our conversations, nobody will be talking about the genius of our sound mixing. We promise you it improves greatly in future podcasts and hope you hang around. Thanks for listening!
