Under the Comic Covers
30: Manifest Destiny #10; Chew #43; Saga #23

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.

29: The Walking Dead #131; Locke & Key Vol. 5: Clockworks

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.

28: Nailbiter #5

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.
