Under the Comic Covers

Saga returns after a three month hiatus with issue #19 and Under the Comic Covers is here to go into each and every detail of this surprising and heart wrenching chapter of one of our favorite books.

After going over our thoughts on Saga, we go over a few other titles that we have been reading but aren't yet covering on the show. If you have any thoughts on what you may like to hear, or have any other suggestions for us to read, feel free to let us know.

As always we dip back into the Mail Sack and answer listener emails as well share another edition of "What's Rachael Reading".

This week Under the Comic Covers welcomes a very special guest, Kirk Manley, illustrator of Z Girl and the Four Tigers, to tear apart the amazing double issue of The Walking Dead #127: A New Beginning.

We spend a bit of time chatting it up with Kirk and getting to learn more about his comic, his podcast, and about his incredible tribute art for the AMC version of The Walking Dead.  We then give all of our top fives for the first issue in the post-Negen era and go over what new aspects of the series works for us, and what doesn't.

Plus, we dip our hands back into the UtCC Mail Sack and respond to listener responses to this very unusual chapter in Walking Dead history.

10: Revival #20; Saga, Vol. 3

Under the Comic Covers delves into new mysteries and newly answered questions in our coverage of Revival #20, the Image rural noir title by Tim Seely and Mike Norton.  Who is that man at the end, and why is Em jumping with Jesus on the cover?  These are but two of the many questions that we pose.

We also bring ourselves current with Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staple's remarkable series Saga.  Volume 3 is an amazing look at relationships both new and old and sets the stage for what will be next to follow... and we will get that return in 2 weeks.  Make sure you are caught up for what will be a most anticipated return.

Plus, we answer your emails and check in with our favorite comic virgin Rachael in this week's installment of "What is Rachael Reading?"

Things get strange as Under the Comic Covers welcomes two new Image titles to the rotation... John Layman and Rob Guillory's Chew and Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera's Black Science.  One title serves up heaping plates of absurdist humor, while the other breaks through the barriers of interdimensional travel and delivers a story chock full of action and forward momentum.

Mr. Blahg and Grace welcome new listeners and give a brief rundown of how we structure the show before going over the comic news of the week.  Plus, we answer your emails and check in with our favorite comic virgin Rachael in this week's installment of "What is Rachael Reading?"
