They had me at “Kpow!”: Gil Kane Atom slugs Gil Kane Green Lantern, from Justice League of America #200. And so it’s that time again, O Mighty Whatnauts. Join us behind the jump for show notes and kvetching, ‘kay?
Wait, What? Ep. 102: Age of Chance
Posted by: Jeff Lester on October 9, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
From the thirteenth issue of Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, assembled by Miguel Corti. The episode–she is long! (Just a bit over two hours and forty minutes, in fact.) The show notes–they are extensive! So join me after the jump for both, and a bit more about Watchmen issue #13!

Kirby. Kubrick. 2001. 2001 for Episode 101? I don’t think it’s deliberate, but knowing Mr. McMillan, I wouldn’t entirely rule it out either. After the jump: Welcome to a new age of… Show notes!
Wait, What? Ep. 100: Year Zero
Posted by: Jeff Lester on September 25, 2012

(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?
Bizarro Blog Post: Not Wait, What #100

Above: Andy Ristaino covers the famous cover for Uncanny X-Men #100, from the now-dearly-departed Covered blog. And this is where you were probably expecting the 100th episode of Wait, What? to appear. Which brings me to a funny story…
Wait, What? Ep. 99: Ex See, Eye Ex
Posted by: Jeff Lester on September 4, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
From Gabrielle Bell’s The Voyeurs This is a pretty decent episode, I think, and we’ve got at least one surprise announcement in it (a less-surprising announcement: this is a skip week for us, so there’ll be no episode next week), as well as some talk about books not out yet, books that may have slid past your radar, and we get our Englehart on. God yes, do we get our Englehart on. After the jump: Show notes! Show link! Show…me the money?
Wait, What? Ep. 98: Gorilla With An Eyepatch
Posted by: Jeff Lester on August 28, 2012

Gorilla with an eyepatch/ I know, I know/ It’s really serious… from Boom!’s Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes by Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman We are creeping ever-closer to magic number 100, as you are probably aware. But, hey, why fixate on the future? There’s every possibility the world could be thrown into cataclysmic upheaval, giving rise to a world of intelligent rifle-wielding apes that, as here, look cooler than all hell. So let’s just pay attention to where we’re at, and what’s happening now, and also…show notes!
Wait, What? Ep. 97: How soon is NOW
Posted by: Jeff Lester on August 14, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
Just listen. Trust me. Episode 97! We are getting very, very close to the triple digits! And, as you can see with the show notes after the jump, we are still capable of bringing the high weirdness. (After the jump: Hi, Weirdness!)
Wait, What? Ep. 96: Cool as Cooks
Posted by: Jeff Lester on August 7, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
Our first non-food podcast pic in a month and of course it’s David Aja from Marvel’s Hawkeye #1. Graeme and I are getting dangerously close to the big #100. (Almost in time for Onomatopoeia #200!) I feel like we should do something special but…God only knows what? Anyway, join me behind the jump, won’t you, for show notes so you can discover what we did for this episode. (Hint: it rhymes with “balk a lout’s tonic schnooks…”)
Wait, What? Ep. 95: Flop Flips

Categories: Podcasts
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!
Wait, What? Ep. 94: The Basement Japes

Above: The Farm Fusion Waffle, which is a liege waffle topped with mushroom, spinach, roasted pepper, tomato and marinated chevre, from the Waffle Window, Portland, OR. Yes, that is one mighty tasty waffle, let me tell you — although let me be honest, I do not tell you in episode 95, I merely mention it to you now. But! Trust me, it’s darn good. As for what we do discuss in this episode, join me behind the jump for… show notes!
Wait, What? Ep. 93: Thrill Power Overboard

Above: The Chocolate Waffle, which is a liege waffle covered in dark chocolate, from The Waffle Window, Portland, OR Yup, Episode 93. I would say more but I’m slightly overwhelmed with the amount of shite multitasking I’m currently doing (kinda dashing back and forth between two computers at opposite ends of the room at the moment, which neither makes me feel like a mad scientist or a keyboardist in Journey but just someone who is old, Internet, so terribly old). On the other hand (and behind the jump): show notes!
Wait, What? Ep. 92: Brave Faces

Categories: Podcasts
Above: the Tomato Bs waffle, which is tomatoes, brie and basil on a savory liege waffle, from The Waffle Window, Portland, OR So, never let it be said, we don’t go the full nine yards for you here at Castle Wait, What? For episode 92, not only did I drive 630 miles, set up and record this podcast in Graeme’s attic, drive 630 miles back, mix, edit, and upload the podcast, but I also provided detailed show notes for you! Not sure if it’s one time only thing or not, but join me behind the link so you can smoke it while you’ve got it!

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…

Categories: Podcasts
Ladies and Gentlemen: GRAEME MCMILLAN IS. The nice thing about writing a post during which you lose your mind and decide the best thing to be done is to embed as many of the lyrics of an Elvis Costello song as you can is you realize: (a) it can’t be topped; and (b) maybe you’re allowed to go easy on yourself every now and again; and (c) your attempts to give the page a catchy image and a bit of punchy jibbety-jab really only go so far, as it’s the actual thing you are introducing that people are (or are not) here for. (Also, you realize you are addicted to parentheticals and alphabetized lists, and have no idea exactly how… Read More…
Wait, What? Ep. 89: Accidents Will Happen
Posted by: Jeff Lester on June 12, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
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…

Yup, this is where the Wait, What? entry would go if there was one. But as you have no doubt surmised, clever reader, there ain’t. I somehow accomplished the impressive feat of getting a cold and throwing out my back simultaneously, so the conversation would’ve consisted of Graeme being his clever self, and me grunting with pain every time I laughed or shifted my weight. (As opposed to our regular podcasting, where I grunt because my mouth is full of food, usually Mallomars.) If you’re looking for some crazy content, however, have you checked out all three parts of Michael Fiffe’s interview with Tony Salmons over at The Factual Opinion? It’s fascinating stuff, to put it lightly. Anyway…sorry for the… Read More…
Wait, What? Ep. 88: Starry-Eyed Cynics
Posted by: Jeff Lester on May 29, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
Yup, we continue to make headway on Operation: Q&A, with perhaps as many as *ten* full questions answered in this, Episode 88 of your friendly, neighborhood Wait, What? podcast. The wolf is at my door (figuratively speaking) so allow me to fill you in on what to expect and then I’ll have to run (literally speaking–I don’t know, it gets complicated but you can figure it out): For a hearty two hours and five minutes (with the first ten devoted strictly to music talk), Graeme McMillan and I gab about which Alan Moore’s universe we’d like to see continued; the recent first issues of Batman Inc., The Ravagers, and Superman Family Adventures; Erik Larsen and The Savage Dragon; digital content and comics… Read More…
Wait, What? Ep. 87: Tiny Yellow Boxes
Posted by: Jeff Lester on May 22, 2012
Categories: Podcasts
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…

Categories: Podcasts
(Visual from Art Spigelman’s piece on Maurice Sendak unrelated to this episode, but I adore it too much to ignore it!) Hail and well met, fellow Whatnauts! Sadly, my M.O. of dashing something off in a state approaching sheer terror continues as I managed to put this together in time to hit all of our deadlines but with unexpected side-effect of stripping my soul down to its most bald-tiredian self. Forgive me, won’t you? But, hey, at least as a result you get to dig into the nougaty goodness that is Wait, What? Ep. 86. Packed with seven essential vitamins and minerals, the latest episode of Graeme and I answering your questions is part of this complete breakfast. [Quick shot… Read More…
