Under the Comic Covers
65: They're Not Like Us #6; Wayward #8; CHEW #49

After a week off, Under the Comic Covers returns to discuss three of our favorite titles (as if they weren't all our favorite titles). We begin with the first arc ending issue of They're Not Like Us #6, move on to the gorgeous Japanese tale of Wayward #8, and conclude with an always welcome dose of hilarity with CHEW #49.

This week's Top of the Stack features Harrow County by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook from Dark Horse Comics. Mr. Blahg also brings up a few other titles... Lady Killer from Dark Horse, and two comics from Image, Nonplayer and Injection. All highly recommended.

63: Nailbiter #12; Southern Bastards, Vol 2: Gridiron

Under the Comic Covers is happy to present our thoughts on Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's Nailbiter #12 (with a wave and shout out to Adam Guzowski, the colorist for Nailbiter) and Volume 2 of Jason Aaron and Jason Latour's Southern Bastards: Gridiron.

In our Top of the Stack segment, Mr. Blahg discovers a surprise book thanks to a suggestion from the staff at Blue Moon Comics in San Rafael, CA (shameless plug). He brings Boom Studio's Arcadia by Alex Paknadel and Eric Scott Pfeiffer to the attention of Grace and our listeners. Plus we answer your letters and have a rather personal news section that has little or nothing to do with actual news in the comic world, but plenty to do with the UtCC world.
