It’s another rest stop on the long garbage-strewn highway to Final Crisis. This time it’s 6 issues of mayhem as the denizens of Themyscira forget everything they know about peace to wage wanton war on Washington in 2007’s AMAZONS ATTACK. All created by Will Pfeifer, Pete Woods, Brad Anderson, Travis Lanhan, Rob Leigh and Matt Idelson.
Enjoy our discussion of the mega man, monument and memorial massacre as villain Circe and angry Queen Hippolyta unleash an army and giant bees on a very localised part of the DC universe.
Paul and Mike are joined by Michael’s Staley and Bailey, plus Siskoid and Maggie and Jonathan Schaefer-Hames in this all-star spectacular.

Guess who’s back? MIKE AND PAUL! Guess who’s ALSO back?? THE DOOM PATROL! Yes, it’s a brand new issue and story featuring our favourite ambulance-load of misfits, and we are lucky to be joined by the co-writer on the series, Jeremy Lambert! PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR THE NEW ISSUE THROUGHOUT THIS EPISODE!
News Patrol – 7:26
Doom Clock - 11:43 - PLEASE NOTE: There are some spoilers on the new issue in this segment!
Doomsplaining - 24:31 - PLEASE NOTE: There are some MORE spoilers on the new issue in this segment! This week we welcome our very special guest, the co-writer of Doom Patrol, Jeremy Lambert! We (unsurprisingly) discuss the brand new issue, which comes to us from Jeremy and Gerard Way, James Harvey, Sajan Rai, Abby Lupine, Nick Derington, Molly Mahan and Andy Khouri!
Mailbag O Doom - 57:37 - PLEASE NOTE: There are NO spoilers on the new issue in this segment! We read through listener feedback and your responses to the last Question of the Week, "What’s your favourite comic set in a historical context?”
Waiting for Doom was created in late 2014 after 2 obsessive Doom Patrol fans realised (possibly incorrectly) that the world needed more discussion regarding their all time favourite superhero team. Specifically, from the two of them. Egos, am I right?Some helpful starting points for you:
Mike lives in Brisbane, and has had an on-again, off-again love affair with comics for 95% of his life. Paul lives in Laggan and tempers his encyclopedic knowledge of comics creators, and DC Comics in general, with biting sarcasm. Both of them fear the arrival of the Beardhunter, given their combined facial hair. Waiting For Doom would also not be possible without the support of our fellow Doom Bros: Jeames aka Rifty who provides technical support; and Doug Zawisza, who provides additional Doom Patrol history and commentary both here and on his own site, mygreatestadventure80.blogspot.com . Mike and Paul have the reluctant support of WilFreD, the sentient show Twitter account which gained self-awareness in early 2015. WilFreD lurks around this site so be careful of participating in inflammatory anti-AI sentiments lest we all suffer his wrath. |
