Under the Comic Covers
140: Wayward #19

Happy holidays everyone! Under the Comic Covers is back this week to spread a little holiday cheer before this dumpster fire of a year is over, and hoping to ease you all into what will hopefully be a better year for the world in general. Fortunately, we have a great issue to cover this week, Wayward #19... and now they have an official pronunciation guide so that we may stop butchering the venerable Japanese language.

138: The Walking Dead #161; Revival #45

In a first for Under the Comic Covers, although we have four titles that we cover released this week, we are only going to discuss two of them this week, savoring the other two for the following week. So what do we devour and digest this week? The Walking Dead #161, this being the penultimate issue of the Whisperer War arc, and Revival #45, with only three issues of the series left, the stakes are ridiculously high.

123: Y: The Last Man, Vol 10: Whys and Wherefores; SDCC 2016

It's taken us over a year to cover, but Under the Comic Covers finally reaches the final volume of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's masterpiece, Y: The Last Man, Vol 10: Why and Wherefores. It's been an interesting journey, and one that wasn't fraught with a few questionable moments, but the ending is by far one of the best literature has to offer. Plus, we chat about our experiences at SDCC 2016.

121: Y: The Last Man, Vol 9: Motherland

The penultimate volume of Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man, Vol 9: Motherland, is by far one of the best volumes of the series, surpassed by maybe only the final chapter. Under the Comic Covers is happy to finally be getting close to the finish line with this series as we ditch our "top 3 and/or 5" format for a more casual chat about the book.

119: Y: The Last Man, Vol 8: Kimono Dragons

It's the second slow week for new comic releases (that we cover at least), but Under the Comic Covers returns after a week off to continue our discussion of Brian K. Vaughan's classic comic masterpiece, Y: The Last Man with Volume 8: Kimono Dragons. Fear not however, next week we will return with five big titles to discuss!

Also, the audio quality of this episode is not what our listeners have come to expect from us. We had some technical difficulties during the recording of the episode that wasn't discovered until the editing had begun. Our apologies, the problem will be corrected immediately.

118: Manifest Destiny #20

Sasquatch is revealed, and Under the Comic Covers is here to talk it out. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you view it, that statement is only true in this week's Manifest Destiny #20. We get some answers about the past, and raise some questions for the future... a fantastic issue, and we hope you enjoy this episode with a slightly different format (no Top 3 and no listener feedback... we had to record early... sorry).

This week, Under the Comic Covers presents the shortest episode to date, but that says nothing about the book we discuss.

After an extended hiatus, Under the Comic Covers is very pleased to be talking about Manifest Destiny #19. We return to the wilds of the early nineteenth century America as we continue with Lewis and Clark's exploration of the newly opened west, and all of the creatures and monsters standing between our intrepid explorers and the great Pacific Ocean.

114: Southern Bastards, Vol 3: Homecoming

After two false promises, we are finally able to cover Southern Bastards, Vol 3: Homecoming. Who knew they would change the number of issues per volume, completely change the book's narrative structure, and space it out over the course of the last year? Not Under the Comic Covers, but we were patient (eventually), and that patience paid off in what is an amazing story of a southern county gone from bad to worse on the back of the hubris of one small man. Join us as we delve into this modern southern gothic tale of lies, betrayal, and football.

113: The Walking Dead #154; Nailbiter #21; Rat Queens #16; Revival #39

Four big titles this week, and Under the Comic Covers is happy to go over at least three of the four books. Unfortunately, we bid adieu to Rat Queens as issue #16 leaves us both a little cold as it takes it's final bow. On the plus side, The Walking Dead #154 is one of the more hilarious (yes, seriously... hilarious) issues of TWD we've ever read, Nailbiter #21 begins what is sure to be a spectacular arc, and Revival #39 moves the story forward in a big way.

112: Saga #36; Sex Criminals #15

This week, Under the Comic Covers is very pleased to be talking about two titles that have always gone great together (see Episode 3 for why we feel that way). First up, we have Saga #36, wrapping up the series' sixth arc in spectacular fashion. After that, we have a return to form with Sex Criminals #15. We may have ripped this book a new one after issue #14, but this issue, wrapping up it's third arc, makes up for whatever grievances we may have had. As an added little bonus, we discuss the new Image Comics magazine, Image+, as Mr. Blahg's Top of the Stack pick. Included in this magazine is the first of twelve parts of The Walking Dead's Negan backstory, and so much more.

In a first for Under the Comic Covers, Grace is on vacation, so Mr. Blahg invites Jason from The Walking Dead'Cast to join him in discussing The Walking Dead #153: Heavy Hangs the Head. In addition to talking about this particular issue, we also get into various aspects of the TV show's latest season, have a chat regarding the merits of paper vs. digital comics, and offer up two great titles for Top of the Stack.
