20: John Layman Interview

Under the Comic Covers returns with a second episode this week as we have a fantastic chat with John Layman, author and co-creator of Chew.  He talks with us about the history of Chew, the low down on the upcoming movie with Steven Yuen and Felicia Day, and we dig into Poyo and his place in the Chew world.  Plus, he gives us a taste of what's to come in this epicurean bird flu cannibal story we love so dearly.

Huge thanks to John for taking the time to do this interview, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

18: The Walking Dead #129

The Walking Dead returns with issue #129 and gives us various glimpses into the new post-post-apocalyptic world.  We see a lonely non-repentant man, a cane weilding mad-man (or is he?) on the loose, and a pair of utter buffoons that may or may not usher in the collapse of a new society.  Going over every detail will be Grace and Mr. Blahg as Under the Comic Covers dives deeps into the issue and discuss what they believe it all means.

And as always, we answer your emails and return with another installment of What's Rachael Reading.
