“It’s Not Like I Have Much DOWNTIME Anyway…” Comics! Sometimes I Fear Craft May Not Be Enough!

When I’m not inadvertently lying about Wally Wood creating Captain Britain I read comics and then I write some poorly judged words. Yeah, salesmanship!

In other news, we’ve completed a refresh of the Comix Experience website, which was pretty long overdue, I hate to say. In addition to it just looking visually fresher, there’s a fair chunk of new content on the site for you to examine — in super-particular I’ve put up an additional 26 Tilting at Windmills, and you can also find a scan of the ultra-rare Comix Experience 5th anniversary magazine, yay! Spend a few minutes tooling around, let me know what you think? Much love to my Mom, who did the rebuild! THANKS MOM! -B

Hmm, that number is remarkably close to 50, isn’t it? Although who can really say, considering the crazy numbering scheme we (by which I really mean I) have cooked up for us. Seeing as it’s also our 93rd entry on iTunes, and all. Anyway: Comic Con! Captain Britain! Ed Brubaker! Peter David! Marvel: Season One! Exclamation Points! All of these things and more get their devil’s due in this installment of Wait, What?, already loitering about on iTunes, or ready and eager to be listened to by your demanding ears, right here, right now: Wait, What? Ep. 49: The Speedo Mistake As ever, we hope your enjoy and thank you for your indulgence! And now, if you excuse me, the… Read More…

Marvel’s Best And Worst: Graeme Looks At Comics From 7/13, 7/20

It’s been awhile, but that’s because of too much work/vacation/too much work, respectively. But! Finally! Comics! Well, some of them, anyway.
Wait, What? Ep. 48.2: Men of Brickbats

Categories: Podcasts
Yes, a bit later but still better than never, and maybe a good way to beat the San Diego blues? That’s certainly one way to describe our conclusion to Wait, What? Episode 48. Another way to describe it might be to mention that it’s almost 70 minutes long, and in it Graeme McMillan and I talking Batman, Inc. #7, Dark Horse Presents #1 and #2, Witch Doctor #1, The Creeper Omnibus, the founders of continuity and their later careers, Marvel’s Iron Age miniseries, and Firestorm: The Nuclear Man, along with all the usual digressions and what-have-yous you might expect from us. The episode should’ve hit iTunes by now, but you are also welcome to listen to it here, if that’s… Read More…
Wait, What? Ep. 48.1: Talk Itself
Posted by: Jeff Lester on July 19, 2011
Categories: Podcasts
Sometimes I think Graeme and I would do well to learn something like moderation. We took a week off — a week off during which we saw each other and hung out, mind you — and then when we got back together we talked for something like THREE HOURS, almost all about comic books. Yeah, but so then. Here’s part 1 of Wait, What? Ep. 48, wherein Graeme and I talk roommates (briefly), the Marvel Architects (perplexedly), Tom Brevoort (awe-struckedly), and, of course, Fear Itself #4 and Flashpoint #3. I’m trying to be a bit better about the context thing so that link for Mr. TB takes you right to the article quoted in our episode my G.McM. You should’ve… Read More…

Yeah, I know it’s pretty last minute, but I have two FREE *four-day* passes to the San Diego Comic-Con. We’ve got a raffle box in the store for these and today through Thursday July 14 we’ll be collecting names of people who would like to receive these tickets. We’ll pull a winner on Friday 7/15. No purchase necessary, natch, but you need to physically come into the store to enter — no email, calls, tweets, semaphore, or, really, anything other than walking into the store and saying “enter ME!” Good luck! -B

“Hell erupts and Heaven can only CRY.” Comics? Bad for your soul, but I read ‘em anyway!

I read some comics. Did a little dance. Wrote some words. So I guess this me asking, “Something for the weekend, sir?”

And here we go with our conclusion to Episode 47 of Wait, What? In it, Graeme and I talk X-Men: First Class (the movie) and Green Lantern (the movie), Gingerbread Girl (the graphic novel), Graeme’s picks for DC’s September relaunch, and more. Oh, and we also briefly discuss that awesome Mindless Ones podcast interview which you can hear here and read here.

Wait, What? Ep. 47.1: Treat Them Mean to Keep Them Keen
Posted by: Jeff Lester on July 6, 2011
Categories: Podcasts
Honestly, our goal is to hit a sweet spot — somewhere between filling you up to the tippy-top and leaving that last little bit unfulfilled such that you want more. And given our druthers with the podcast, Graeme and I usually err on the side of “too much.” Like….maybe way too much? However, this last time, we ended up talking for a little over two hours and that seemed, you know, maybe a bit excessive to listen to all at one go. So, here is Wait, What? Ep. 47.1, with nearly an hour and fifteen minutes of of-the-moment discussion ranging from Steve Englehart’s The Strangers and the Ultraverse line of comics to more gossip about the DCnU and Warren Ellis’… Read More…

For pretty obvious reasons we don’t celebrate Independence Day over here but you guys sure seem to. Just to show you that there are no hard feelings I read some nationalistic comics and wrote some words about them for y’all. Be nice if you picked up the phone sometime, America. I know you moved out but we still worry about you.
