Under the Comic Covers
74: Wayward #10; Copperhead #9; Sex Criminals #11

This week, Under the Comic Covers revels in a cornucopia of great books. We begin by talking about Wayward #10, the spectacular end to its second arc, move on to Copperhead #9, and wrap everything up with the long awaited Sex Criminals #11

Unfortunately, we don't have any books to discuss on Top of the Stack.  We do, however, answer your emails and bring up a few news items.

73: Y: The Last Man, Vol 2: Cycles

Although this was a slow week for new comic releases, Under the Comic Covers still carries on. We continue our way through Brian K. Vaughan's acclaimed completed series, Y: The Last Man with Volume 2: Cycles.

Mr. Blahg brings a beloved reboot to Top of the Stack with Archie #1 by Mark Waid and Fiona Staples; and Grace, unbeknownst to her, finds herself recommending Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic from Top Cow Productions, a beautiful BDSM love story.

And of course, we answer some mail... all for the low low price of nothing but an hour plus of your time. Thanks for listening... and enjoy the show.

70: Nailbiter #14; CHEW #50

The comic gods were good to us this week, and Under the Comic Covers is back with two fantastic issues. First, we go over Nailbiter #14, where we think we are getting answers, but it really feels like we're getting more questions. Finally, we delve into the shocking fiftieth issue of CHEW. In the end, who will still be standing?

Mr Blahg discusses the latest Image Comics' release from Brian K.Vauaghan, as he and artist Steve Skroce bring us a story about war between the U.S. and Canada in We Stand on Guard in our Top of the Stack segment. And as always, we answer your emails and chat about some news, including, but not limited to, Image Expo, San Diego Comic Con, and associated parties.
