Under the Comic Covers

This week, Under the Comic Covers goes over three issues in one episode for the first time, and surprisingly, it's one of the shortest episodes to date.

First we go into the mysteries of Revival #21 and join Dana into her sojourn into the big city... we then travel with Tony Chu under the sea and meet up with Colby and some old friends in the midst of the strangest wedding reception of all time with Chew #42... and finally we wrap up with our perennial favorite, Saga.  If there is a more beautiful way to break our hearts, I'd be hard pressed to find it.

In addition to all these great Image titles, we also respond to your emails and voicemails.

Sex Criminals, Time Magazine's comic of the year and one of Under the Comic Covers' favorite titles, returns this month with an unexpectedly emotional story before turning things around and leaving us wanting and waiting for more.  Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky don't disappoint as the second arc begins.

But before we talk about Sex Criminals, Mr. Blahg talks at length about his weekend co-moderating panels at Walker Stalker Con Boston.  If you want to skip forward and get to the good stuff... you know, like Sex Criminals... that's ok.  No hard feelings.

Under the Comic Covers returns this week to talk about two of our favorite titles, The Walking Dead and Manifest Destiny.

The Walking Dead #128 gives us a deeper look into the burgeoning new community built after the war and gives us a glimpse into a new internal threat to the relative peace and quiet of Alexandria and their new way of life.  As always, we go over our top 3 for the issue and have a chat about Carl's newfound whittling skills and the importance of stale bread.

After a between-arc hiatus, Chris Dingess' and Matthew Roberts' Manifest Destiny #7 returns in glorious fashion as our intrepid band of explorers continue on their westward journey across the newly acquired chunk of North American real estate and discover all new mythical beasties and critters.  Unfortunately, not all horrible creatures are of the mythical type... some happen to be part of the expedition itself.  Plus, we get a look at Lewis as the au natural skin diver.
