“Graeme and Jeff the hosts are engaging and their enthusiasm for comics and liking of each other is very apparent. I've been deeply into comics for decades, but find a lot to make me think in their opinions and enjoy their sense of humour.”

“Fantastic Four is so darn good and this podcast makes it even better. If Marvel ever brings FF back for a monthly series I think that you two should write it. Excelsior!”

“Wait, What? is the comics podcast for you if you fancy yourself an intellectual and thought Donald Trump was going to put gay people in concentration camps.
It's honestly probably the smartest comics podcast out there, and the discussion is at the level of most college courses -- but neither of...”Read full review »

“Love Jeff and Graeme! These guys crack me up every show. Takes me back to growing up in my local store and debating books, Tv, and movies! Can't wait until the next show as soon as I finish the most recent!”

“Hysterical and frank, "What, What?" is always fun to listen to. Whether it's comics, tv/movies, or whatever topic happens to send them into the weeds, it's highly entertaining and educated.”

“Journalistic integrity be damned, this podcast shows how deep DC/marvel bias runs. Graham was obviously a DC guy, and that's fine. Just know there is no neutral ground here when that discussion comes up. Better just to own it instead of playing at being impartial. I do really enjoy the industry...”Read full review »

“A really good podcast! with honest critical views on comics.
while there aren't any interviews with comic pros, it allows the hosts to talk openly about the industry.
The only problems with the podcast is sometimes its hard to make out the Scottish accent through Skype.”

Re: Catwoman - your comparison to Bendis' Alias was spot-on & kind of funny (could you take any comic Bendis wrote in 2011 & say he got it right with touchy subject matter?) But I'd compare it more directly to Ed Brubaker's Catwoman run which portrays...”Read full review »

A great insider podcast into comics that revels its joy if Kirby and Englehart, dismissive of the cult of dark for dark's sake, and the best wolverine impression ever.”
