This week, Under the Comic Covers delves into Image Comics' Revival #25 by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton, and bids a very fond adieu to one of our favorite series, Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's Locke & Key. Joining us to discuss the final chapter of Locke & Key is our good friend Jason from The Walking Dead'Cast. In addition to these great titles, we answer your mail and as always, go over some comic news items from the previous week. We are skipping our Top of the Stack segment for the next two weeks, but we will be releasing an episode next week, the Thanksgiving weekend, so look for our next episode where we will be beginning our coverage of Jeff Lemire's gorgeous and haunting, Sweet Tooth.

What? The Walking Dead?? Squeeeeee!!!! Yes, this week, Under the Comic Covers covers the world's most popular zombie show... however, we talk about that weird picture book version of that story by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead #134: From Whispers to Screams. We also go over a new addition to the UtCC stable of titles; Copperhead, by Jay Faerber and Scott Godlewski. Described as Deadwood in space, Copperhead lives up to that description with a fantastic first three issues and a pairing of main characters that will win you over in a heartbeat. Per usual, we answer your emails and take a peek at the Tops of our Stacks with an Image First, Drifter, by Ivan Brandon and Nic Klein; as well as give an advance review of Graveyard Shift, by Jay Faerber (Copperhead) and Fran Bueno. Some seriously good stuff crammed into this particular pie hole. Chapters

This week, Under the Comic Covers dissects two of the more gruesome titles we cover. We begin our meal with Nailbiter #7... a wonderful appetizer with frights, a special guest star, and a pinch of humor to whet your appetite. The main course consists of tortillas, chocolate, and pent-up aggression mixed with fierce fighting skills in this months penultimate issue of Chew: Chicken Tenders... Issue #44. As is our wont, we answer our fantabulous listener's emails, listen to a voicemail froma familar voice, get a mighty heap of news, and we can't forget the Top of the Stack. This week we discuss Tooth & Claw #1, the latest Image first by Busiek and Dewey... as well as Snapshot, by Andy Diggle and Jock. Chapters
