Wait, What?
Summary: Ostensibly about comic books and graphic novels, "Wait, What?" is a podcast in which two friends swap stories, theories, and jokes about all aspects of pop culture...but especially comics. For our early episodes, our theme music is Track 18 from Nine Inch Nails' wonderful ambient album Ghosts, which Trent Reznor graciously made available under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. But for some time now, it has been an original composition by our very own Graeme McMillan: this update is overdue!

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. Part 1 of hopefully not-too-many finds Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talking waffles, waffles, and more waffles; Chad Nevett's Blogathon, our pitches for DC, Jeff's time-crossed dream team, Mystic and Snark, Michael Fleisher's career after comics, favorite Batman tales, Captain America and much more--with more to come.

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!

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!
Recorded on the first day of San Diego Comic Con and it's like you're actually there with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester, as we gossip, swap convention horror stories, talk Ed Brubaker his Onion AV Club interview, and then dig into comics like the Captain Britain Omnibus, Action Comics Weekly, the career of Peter David, New Avengers #14, Marvel Season One, and, as ever, much, much more We hope you enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

It's seventy minutes of hard-hitting comic book dithering just the way you like...we hope. As always, thanks for listening!
It's the first of, um, several? installment for Episode 48 and in it, Graeme McMillan and I spend 70 minutes discussing Fear Itself #4 and Flashpoint #3. Of course, there's a few more topics in there too--the Marvel Architects, the always-impressive statements of Tom Brevoort. But, by and large? Fear Itself #4 and Flashpoint #3. Don't worry, future installments have us talking other comic books, but for right now, buckle up for a crossover event talkapalooza. We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Well, after 43 episodes, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have finally decided to get with the times and try our hand at interviewing. Our first guest is the owner of Comix Experience and the Savage Critics site and Wait, What's patron, Brian Hibbs. Join us as we talk DC's upcoming September reboot strategy and its repercussions on comic book retailing, and remember to be kind about our various technical flaws...the interview started as a Skype conference call and then changes venues partway through, but hopefully you can still hear every desperate-to-be-optimistic word. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!
