Today, Graeme McMillan joins Jeff Lester to have recovered memories of the lost podcast from last week, and also to discuss the Joy of Comics, a beast blessedly different from both the Joy of Sex and the Joy of Cooking. While the actual numbers of recent comics discussed is very light, the level of meandering critical discourse is high, covering artists like Mike Golden, Paul Pope, Neal Adams, Dan Jurgens, Jim Steranko, Chris Ware, Al Milgrom, and topics like reading comics in a foreign language, The Night of the Doctor, Misfits, Brendan McCarthy and more, in this episode that runs just a hair over ninety minutes.

For a touch over two hours, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester make with the mouth noises on all things comic book. Topics today include a trio of new releases from Image Comics: Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios; Velvet by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting; and Sex Criminals from Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. Other topics we besiege you with include: Justice League of America; Cross Manage from Shonen Jump Alpha; The Death of the Family trade paperbacks; the Secret Origin of Tony Stark by Kieron Grant, Carlo Pagulayan and Scott Hanna; the Agents of SHIELD TV show, Yakitate!! Japan, Galoshing and so much more. Brief show notes can be found over at savage critic.com and we always welcome your comments at waitwhatpodcast@gmail.com.
