Under the Comic Covers
27: Black Science #8; Revival #23; Saga #22

We were told it could not be done... we pointed out that we had done it before... but still there were unbelievers.  Tonight we tackle three titles, each as wonderful as the next... each as bad ass, if not more bad ass, than the one that preceded it.  In this episode, Under the Comic Covers dives deep into Black Science #8, Revival #23, and Saga #22 and come out the other end damaged, disturbed, and discombobulated in all the best ways possible.

We also take a departure from out usual format and in an effort to curtail potential spoilers in the Mail Sack, we are now answering emails that pertain to paricular titles within the discussions of those titles.  Does that mean the Mail Sack is gone?  Nope... now it's just spread around a bit more evenly.

In addition to these great titles, and our answering of listener comments, we also take a quick visit with our favorite former comic virgin Rachael in another installment of What's Rachael Reading.

26: Manifest Destiny #9; Other Titles We Read

This week finds Under the Comic Covers deep in the wilds of an untamed mythological version of America that finds our heroes from Christ Dingess' and Matthew Roberts' Manifest Destiny battling between monsters of the river deep and monsters within their very ranks... and as always, we are here to babble on regarding our thoughts.

We also take the opportunity to discuss our top 3, or so, other other titles that we read but don't cover regularly (for now) on the show.

And as always, we dip into the UtCC Mail Sack and answer your emails and questions.

25: The Walking Dead #130; Sex Criminals #7

Things get funky and very, very adult in this episode of Under the Comic Covers.  We start off rather tame with our coverage of The Walking Dead... zombies, new communities, and a baby.  But things take a turn for the blue once we start in with Sex Criminals, so be forewarned, that segment is not for the more innocent listeners we may have... and if that isn't enticing, I don't know what would be.  

Now with 69% more porn music than before!

In addition to the debauchery and good times to be found in this episode we also take a deep dive into the UtCC Mail Sack and answer our listener mail as well as another installment of What's Rachael Reading?.

24: Guardians of the Galaxy

Under the Comic Covers is pleased to present our first movie review, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, with our very special guest, Jason Cabassi of The Walking Dead'Cast.

If you have not seen the film, this episode of the show is not for you... we go into detail about the aspects of this movie that tickle our fancy and will spoil the bejeezus out of you,,, so be forewarned.

Although we don't have any mail to answer, we didn't really announce our plans to record this special episode, we do take a few moments to talk about our thoughts regarding the death of Robin Williams.

This may not be a normal episode of UtCC, but we hope you enjoy it... regardless, we will return later this week to discuss The Walking Dead and Sex Criminals.  Until then, we'll be tucked under the comic covers.

23: Nailbiter #4; Locke & Key Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom

We at Under the Comic Covers don't plan on setting up thematic episodes (maybe a little, but not overtly), yet we do it again with another exceptionally creepy pairing of Nailbiter #4 and Locke & Key Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom.

Nailbiter continues it's fantastic first arc by answering a few questions and asking quite a few more, all while leaving us in the dark in terms of who the real new serial killer is...

Meanwhile, Locke & Key delivers yet another incredible chapter in what is one of our favorite completed series.  Events come to a head as things boil down to genuine life or death situations, and what is left behind leaves much to anticipate as we come closer to the end.

As always we answer your email and questions... although sadly, this week we only had one fantabulous email... but make sure to get your emails in quickly next week... we will be covering The Walking Dead and Rat Queens... so we expect more from you... send in those emails!

Chapters

  1. Intro    (0:00)    
  2. Nailbiter #4   (9:01)
  3. Locke & Key Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom   (25:30)
  4. UtCC Mail Sack    (1:04:16)
  5. End    (1:15;49)

22: Black Science #7; Nowhere Men Vol. 1

Under the Comic Covers is proud to present another perfect pairing this week... We bring you the science suite of Rick Remender's Black Science and Eric Stephenson's troubled masterpiece, Nowhere Men.

Black Science kicks off it's second arc with something akin to a runaway freight train... pure adrenaline and pure action as we, the readers, find ourselves questioning everything we know about who are heroes and who are villains really are.

Nowhere Men, a book that emerged a rising star last year, only to see it's shine diminish due to delays and rumors, is but a six issue glimpse into genius... but we can't resist going over our favorite moments and our thoughts on this remarkable work of art.

In addition to this, we dip into the mail sack and answer your emails as well as take another call from our favorite comic book virgin, Rachael.

Read Nate Bellegarde's remarkable and touching open letter to readers regarding the delays of Nowhere Men and his role here.
