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 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 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 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 r...
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...
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 w...
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 minu...

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!
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.

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!
