Under the Comic Covers
86: Revival #34; Manifest Destiny #18; They're Not Like Us #9; CHEW #51

Under the Comic Covers returns this week with four spectacular books to talk about: Revival #34, Manifest Destiny #18, They're Not Like Us #9, and CHEW #51. Confessions, betrayal, mystery, and drugged out special agents... not only do these things make for a great soap opera, they make up much of the chat we have in this episode. Grace also brings Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott's new book from Image Comics, Black Magick, to Top of the Stack.

85: Tops of the Stack Revisited

In this week's very special episode of Under the Comic Covers (I'm going for an ABC After-School Special vibe here), we revisit some of our previous Top of the Stack titles and discuss a few of our favorites and the fates of some of the others. It was a pleasure to go over some of the amazing books we have talked about over the course of the last year, and it all devolves into a giant love fest of appreciation for our listeners towards the end. 

This episode is also front loaded with some wonderful developments from the Podcastica Network, and some upcoming news for the next two weeks regarding an interview and a very exciting lineup for next week.
