Wait, What? Episode 87 - Wait, What?

What this episode covers

If you've got two hours, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have the podcast: Wait, What? Ep. 87! Oh, sure it starts with seven minutes of bitching and moaning about Skype but then we've got a lengthy (and spoiler-filled) discussion of the Avengers movie with only semi-continuous random-seeming comparisons to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Then: a quick talk about Saga #3 by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples; Avenging Spider-Man #7 by Kathryn and Sturart Immonen; the history of kitty cats; Saucer Country #3, Wolverine by Jason Aaron, Bakuman, Batwoman, Watchmen Toasters, The Oral History of DC's Countdown over at Funnybook Babylon, Blackest Night, and more. And in our never-ending attempts to answer your questions, we discuss why writers in comics seem to get all the credit, Viz Comics, Taboo, the ZX Spectrum, Starblazer, the mysteries of Reverse Aquaman, Thor and the New Gods, Thanos and where the credit resides for Marvel's cosmic stories, Matt Fraction's Thor, grappling with the career of Brian Bendis and much, much more. (Although not as much as when we usually run two hours and fifteen minutes.) As always, we hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!
