Checking to make sure those muscles still work

Just a little warm up on some older stuff, as I test my posting muscles again — I *think* I’m going to attempt an Old-School write-about-every-comic-that-came-out-this-week thing on Wed or Thurs, since it’s such a small week of comics…

As usual, my apologies for not posting much this month — the run up to the holidays almost always sucks away every free moment I have in life. There will definitely be reviews this week, if that helps? It’s not what we would call a large week, this week — which I knew from doing FOC, but I was still kind of shocked how small it actually turned out. What I don’t get is where is the “Last Week of the Month” dump that Marvel historically does (as do the small press books)? That would have offset the almost complete lack of DC superhero comics. I certainly hope everyone is thinking very very hard about the next set of 5th… Read More…

Couldn’t find a turkey, but I got a canary. Careful of the bones! Hey, let’s give thanks for an old DC war comic with the emphasis on Russ Heath.

Oh, Thanksgiving weekend! What a boon you are to some, and a curse to others. I know I am extra-happy with the time off from work, but it also means Graeme and I won’t be recording this week. And it also means there didn’t seem to be much point to breaking this episode in half since so many will be away from their computers on Thursday and instead dealing with the complex mash of family, friends and strangers. (I’ll spare you details about my upcoming Thanksgiving but I realize I’m being way more morose about it than everybody else.) The point is, we are giving you a big ol’ 110 minute Waitstravaganza, with Graeme and I talking Community and Parks… Read More…

Here’s an image from DAREDEVIL #4; a comic that isn’t talked about within. But I just really, really wanted it up there so I indulged myself. I do go on about #5 of DAREDEVIL though. Is that alright? Are you sure? Because it matters to me! Well, I can’t promise to help but I did write some words about some comics that were actually published this Century. Yay me! Oh yeah, one of the images may be NSFW, depends where you work, I guess?
Wait, What? Ep. 63.2: Point Two, Point One, Point Zero

From the insane to the mundane, from the picture back to the frame, the finale to Wait, What? Ep. 63.2 brings Graeme and I back from our world-wide travels to consider our good ol’ pal, Excelsior Basehead. Yep, Graeme and I talk about how Marvel’s handled the first issue 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 this year’s Point One promotional one-shot. Oh, and because we’re us, OMAC #3, Bad Company, and the drawbacks of Netflix. And we do it all in less than an hour! Go, Team Us. If you want us, you can find… Read More…

You know what programming languages need? They totally need <cant stop> </wont stop> tags, amirite? (I would also be equally happy if there were <baller> </shot caller> tags as well, but maybe those would be restricted to the “Diddy on Rails” language, I really couldn’t say.) What I can say, is that Wait, What? Ep. 63.1 is here, and in it Graeme McMillan and I discuss oddball treasures from all over the globe, such as 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 Ryochi Ikegami; and we dollop more praise on Ganges #4… Read More…

I read an old ‘70s DC war comic and I liked what I saw. Because what I saw was drawn by Joe Kubert, Alex Toth, Sam Glanzman and John Severin. I am good to my eyes. It cost 25 cents. Well, in 1971 it did.

Ah, mishaps. They seemed to plague Graeme and I during the recording of Wait, What? Ep. 62 but somehow we were able to wrest a podcast from the vile clutches of “why isn’t this recording? Dear God, how long has this not been recording?” So I have to warn you in advance, we only have one installment for you this week and it is just a dash over an hour long, answering your questions from our earlier post here on this website. Warning Number Two: we don’t discuss Josie & The Pussycats. I just liked the image and needed a bit of Dan DeCarlo-inspired sunshine in my day. But we do talk kid-friendly books in the New52, Matt Fraction and… Read More…

I lost last week to GTA: San Andreas. It was on crazy sale on Steam (under $5), and I let myself get tempted and sucked in, and read very very little last week. But I’m back now!

I don’t know if you remember about three years ago when Jeff Lester was plugging his story in Cthulhu Tales #10? Well, that story (and many others) are now in a sturdy TP collection entitled CTHULHU TALES OMNIBUS: MADNESS. This has a Diamond order code of AUG110894, and an ISBN of 978-1-60886-075-3, if you wanted to ask your local library to stock it. (hint hint) Other than seeing ol’ Jeff staying in print, I’m excited by the back cover text that says “Featuring comic book superstars Steve Niles…Jeff Lester (SAM & MAX ONLINE)…and Roger Langridge.” Yes, Jeff Lester ranks higher than Roger Langridge! The blurb then goes on to say “Follow the Old Ones of myth from ancient times and… Read More…

(And look where my hand was.) Hey, we are back! After a pleasant two week respite, Graeme McMillan and I have returned with the first installment of Wait, What? Episode 61. And as you can see, we have a nifty new piece of fanart to bring along with us, courtesy of the awesomely talented Garrett Berner (who some of us also know on Twitter as The Mighty Gar). Well, that’s all fine and good, you say, but what about the podcast? And I am happy to report it should already be up on iTunes and making its way back into your heart, like it had never left, just like some kind of ringworm or intestinal parasite. And in it, we… Read More…
