From Bandette #4 by Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover. It’s pretty damn delightful. Hey, everyone! Next week is a skip week! Do you hear me? SKIP WEEK. Show notes? Oh yes, there are certainly show notes. RIGHT AFTER THE JUMP.

Erroneously called ‘Barbarian Romance’ by Jeff throughout the hours that follow. Image, I believe, by Corey Lewis for Brandon Graham; Apologies if that link is a jerk. Oh my god, it almost doesn’t matter what hour of the day or night it is, my next door neighbors WILL NOT FUCKING SHUT UP. After the jump: show notes just the way Thomas Hobbes would like ‘em: nasty, brutish and short. (Actually, just short.)

Stunner stuff from D’Israeli in Stickleback, currently appearing in 2000 A.D. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! (If I was Stan Lee, I’d offer a No-Prize to those of you who really get that reference…but thank goodness there is only one Stan and I’m not him.) Join me after the jump for show notes for Wait, What? Ep. 120, won’t you? (Yes, there is one this week. I assure you, I’m not pulling an April Fool’s Joke on you a week late…OR AM I????

One of Annie Wu’s great covers from the interior of Hawkeye #8. Yep, it looks like this posting on Monday thing might be our new podcasting schedule for the conceivable future. I hope it is not a problem for everyone (including Hibbs, who just posted the shipping list a few hours ago, do go check it out and comment. After the jump: our charming and trying-hard-to-be-respectable old chum–the show notes.

A page from Shotaro Ishinomori’s Kikaider, which we didn’t even discuss this week but which I kinda adore, nonetheless… ATTENTION, ATTENTION, NEXT WEEK WILL BE A SKIP WEEK FOR THE PODCAST. NEXT WAIT IS A WEEK, WHAT? SKIPCAST! You may not care. In fact, you may be relieved but either way, Graeme and I will not be talking one another’s ear off this week so there won’t be anything for you to listen to from us next week. Maybe you can get out of the house for a bit? Go for a walk? Realize that although it’s probably too late to do that “52 books in 52 weeks” you promised, you can maybe still get in 48 in 48 weeks?… Read More…

Two panels from Avengers #1. Captain America sounds kinda bitchy here, doesn’t he? Happy holidays! Ho ho ho! Uhh…. Gather Ye Rosebuds While You May! (Man, I gotta outsource the holiday sections of these entries to Graeme or something. I am really bad at this!) Anyway, behind the jump…Show Notes!

Australian, as she is spoke–from All-New X-Men #1, by Brian Bendis and Stuart Immonen So, I am loathe to admit it…but I totally did that thing where I was running under the gun and so the show notes have a certain je ne sais LEAVE FIFTY THOUSAND IN THE TRASH CAN AT EAST ENTRANCE OF CENTRAL PARK OR SHE IS DEAD quality to them. Nonetheless, after the jump: show notes!
Wait, What? Ep. 106: You Are Number Six.

At Graeme’s Behest: the cover to Colder #1 Yeah, that’s a pleasant way to get your Tuesday rolling, eh? Anyhoo, very truncated version of things this time around, I’m afraid but after the jump…show notes!
Wait, What? Ep. 100: Year Zero

(One of my favorite hundredth issue covers, by Joe Staton and Dick Giordano for DC Comics) I don’t know why, but for a moment there… I was very afraid this episode wouldn’t end up existing? I think because, you know, you say something is a thing, as opposed to just being business as usual, and the next thing you know there’s a certain nimbus of expectation around it, even if only to yourself? Sometimes it seems like that kind of nimbus makes the best kind of target for capricious fate… Anyway, enough of that “and then he tore his eyes out in the fifth act!” musing, join us behind the jump for show notes and celebratory waffles, yes?
Wait, What? Ep. 95: Flop Flips

Above: Izzy’s Guac & Lox with extra red onion and sliced tomato, on an onion bagel, from Los Bagels in Arcata, CA. Oh, man. I don’t know if you’ve ever had the above but if you do–I highly recommend it. It’s a little pricey, but the guacamole is great and the lox are fresh. Just a fine old dining experience. But you’re not here for the food talk, are you? (Wait…are you?) You are here, in theory, for the latest installment of Wait, What? Ep. 95, so join me behind the jump for….show notes!

Okay, super-super short here as I am in the process of, even now, packing and panicking like a full-fledged fool in preparation for the upcoming vacation to Portland. (And, yes, if it is not a waffle-filled one, I will be very, very pissed.) We actually talk a little bit about that in this episode so I won’t bore you with it now. Instead, I will bore you with a fast list of the things Graeme and I talk about in good ol’ ep. 91: 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. (from which the above image has been lovingly nicked); why the song… Read More…

Oh, I just don’t know where to begin: last episode was held up on account of spinal aggravation and this episode starts with a SNAFU of the kind that had me tearing my rich abundant hair out of my head. (Hmmm, now that I think about it? I think…maybe that was neither my hair nor head?) But that’s the kind of episode this is–the one where our minds are made up but our mouths are undone. Nonetheless, Graeme McMillan and I were committed to *finally* finishing up answering your questions (seeing as we didn’t answer them in the same month you asked them…or technically the same season) and talking stuff like Action Comics #10; superhero movies and the geek comfort… Read More…

It’s funny. I keep thinking we’re going to hit our “proper” hundredth episode any minute now and we’re still only eighty-something percent of the way there. (It’s probably the high-weirdness of having 145 entries accessible on iTunes that’s throwing me off…) But we will get there! Yes, neither rain nor snow nor sleep, nor screwy Skype, nor half-maintained hardware, nor early morning airport visits, nor crazy screeds by prominent webcomic cartoonists where the phrase “we won!” really means, “stop harshing my mellow,” can keep us from our appointed rounds…unless we decide to take a week off. Whatevs: we have a two hour episode for you, full of complaints about some of the above, but also delightful discussions of Reverse Aquaman,… Read More…
