Under the Comic Covers

Under the Comic Covers returns this week with perennial favorites, The Walking Dead #133: Impending Doom, and Revival #24. But before we dig too deeply into these titles, we spend a little time sharing our experiences at Walker Stalker Con: Atlanta, 2014... from moderating a panel with Jason Momoa to thanking an endless see of attendees and staff, we had a great time.

In addition to this, we answer your emails and reach for what we have on the Top of the Stack. This week, Grace picks Stumptown, while Mr. B goes with something a bit more out of character... G.I. Joe: Cobra. Seriously...

Zombie skin wearing creeps, zombie deer, and much much more in this weeks episode of Under the Comic Covers.

This week, Under the Comic Covers covers... not three!... not two!!... but one whole issue!!! Fortunately, it happens to be one of all all-time favorite titles, Chris Dingess' and Matthew Roberts' fantastic revisioning of Lewis and Clark's expedition into the wilds of an untamed America, Manifest Destiny.

In one of the best issues of the current arc thus far, Lewis manages one of the best spur of the moment heroic moments, and we manage to talk around that fact with our usual aplomb.

In addition to this title, we cover some weekly news, including a great "man on the street" report from Kirk Manley (http://www.studiokm.com/) with regard to NYCC, and we top it all off with Top of the Stack, our new weekly segment covering new and otherwise interesting reads not covered in our usual lineup of books.

We seem to be making a habit of covering three issues a week... and this week is no exception! Under the Comic Covers spends some time discussing The Walking Dead #132: Happiness, Nailbiter #6, and Rat Queens #8. Three great titles... two deep character development issues and one rather shocking and game changing twist.

In addition to these three issues, we answer your emails, and we introduce the title of our new segment that focuses on one new title from each of us every week.

Quick side note... there was a slight problem with Mr. Blahg's audio file, you may hear a slight static sound when listening at high volume, but hopefully this won't detract from your enjoyment of the episode. Rest assured, the problem will be resolved before next week.

After a week off, Under the Comic Covers returns with playing catch up as we cover last weeks release of Manifest Destiny #10, as well as stay current with Chew #43 and Saga #23.

Manifest Destiny finds our intrepid explorers two steps closer to freeing themselves from both the underwater arch and the horrifying giant mosquitos on land... Chew moves one Olive-sized step towards bringing down The Collector... and Saga fleshes out exactly what Hazel meant by her parents spliting up, and the cliffhanger is unbearable.

In addition to these three issues, we answer your emails, feature our final segment of What's Rachael Reading, and introduce our newest segment, (name to be determined) that allows us to discuss one title each that we don't cover on the show.

It's great to be back and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Under the Comic Covers returns this week to go over two perennial favorites, The Walking Dead #131, which reunites us with some old favorites while also introducing new characters, and Locke & Key Vol. 5: Clockworks, diving deep into the origin of the keys and answering each and every question posited in the first four volumes.

Before we dig into those issues we have a few bits of news up front, as well as a couple of cool announcements regarding Walker Stalker Con Atlanta, and unfortunately we will not be releasing an episode next week due to Mr. Blahg's vacation.

After all of that goodness we answer some emails and give our (Mr. Blahg's) opinion of various pickles ranging from fried to cornichons... and be sure to stay until the very end to get a brief taste of what Mr. Blahg will be immersed in next week.

This week, Under the Comic Covers dives into one title, Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's Nailbiter #5. This remarkably creepy and atmospheric book about a town that breeds serial killers and the lovely folk within rounds out it's first arc in stunning and gruesome fashion.

We also answer a few emails and, as always, we check in with our favorite comic virgin and get a report in What's Rachael Reading?.

I'm not quite sure how we did it... but we mananged to wring a surprising amount of levity and joy from this material. Hope you enjoy. Big thanks to those of you who wrote in... not just the ones we read, but also the one we didn't.

We were told it could not be done... we pointed out that we had done it before... but still there were unbelievers. Tonight we tackle three titles, each as wonderful as the next... each as bad ass, if not more bad ass, than the one that preceded it. In this episode, Under the Comic Covers dives deep into Black Science #8, Revival #23, and Saga #22 and come out the other end damaged, disturbed, and discombobulated in all the best ways possible.

We also take a departure from out usual format and in an effort to curtail potential spoilers in the Mail Sack, we are now answering emails that pertain to paricular titles within the discussions of those titles. Does that mean the Mail Sack is gone? Nope... now it's just spread around a bit more evenly.

In addition to these great titles, and our answering of listener comments, we also take a quick visit with our favorite former comic virgin Rachael in another installment of What's Rachael Reading.

We also take the opportunity to discuss our top 3, or so, other other titles that we read but don't cover regularly (for now) on the show.

And as always, we dip into the UtCC Mail Sack and answer your emails and questions.

Things get funky and very, very adult in this episode of Under the Comic Covers. We start off rather tame with our coverage of The Walking Dead... zombies, new communities, and a baby. But things take a turn for the blue once we start in with Sex Criminals, so be forewarned, that segment is not for the more innocent listeners we may have... and if that isn't enticing, I don't know what would be.

Now with 69% more porn music than before!

In addition to the debauchery and good times to be found in this episode we also take a deep dive into the UtCC Mail Sack and answer our listener mail as well as another installment of What's Rachael Reading?.
