Under the Comic Covers returns this week with our first Ladies Kicking Ass episode.

We begin our girl powered episode with our favorite look at revisionist American frontier history, Manifest Destiny, and we are happy to welcome Rat Queens into the fold with the seventh issue in this fantastic and ridiculous fantasy book from Image Comics, written by Kurtis J. Wiebe and illustrated by Roc Upchurch.

As always, we also respond to our listener emails and return with another chapter in our on-going follow up with our favorite comic book virgin turned high class comic escort, Rachael in What's Rachael Reading?.
