Under the Comic Covers is exceptionally happy to share our first interview with the almost complete creative team (sans letterer and essayist) behind one of our favorite books, Wayward. We are joined by writer Jim Zub, artist Steve Cummings, and colorist Tamra Bonvillain as we discuss their process, the various inspirations behind the art and the story, as well as hints as to what's to come in the upcoming arc beginning November 18th.

Take a look at an upcoming panel of Steven Cumming's pencils... http://jimzub.tumblr.com/post/131961653560/a-special-sneak-peek-at-line-art-from-wayward-13 ... not his inks, his pencils... and listen to the interview to understand why this is so spectacular.

18: The Walking Dead #129

The Walking Dead returns with issue #129 and gives us various glimpses into the new post-post-apocalyptic world.  We see a lonely non-repentant man, a cane weilding mad-man (or is he?) on the loose, and a pair of utter buffoons that may or may not usher in the collapse of a new society.  Going over every detail will be Grace and Mr. Blahg as Under the Comic Covers dives deeps into the issue and discuss what they believe it all means.

And as always, we answer your emails and return with another installment of What's Rachael Reading.

10: Revival #20; Saga, Vol. 3

Under the Comic Covers delves into new mysteries and newly answered questions in our coverage of Revival #20, the Image rural noir title by Tim Seely and Mike Norton.  Who is that man at the end, and why is Em jumping with Jesus on the cover?  These are but two of the many questions that we pose.

We also bring ourselves current with Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staple's remarkable series Saga.  Volume 3 is an amazing look at relationships both new and old and sets the stage for what will be next to follow... and we will get that return in 2 weeks.  Make sure you are caught up for what will be a most anticipated return.

Plus, we answer your emails and check in with our favorite comic virgin Rachael in this week's installment of "What is Rachael Reading?"

Under the Comic Covers is tremendously pleased to welcome Jason from The Walking Dead'Cast as he, Grace, and Mr. Blahg take on the final installment of All Out War.  Did it live up to all of our hopes and expectations?  Did we all agree on whether or not it was unsatifying, or did we think it represents a bold new direction for the comic?  Only one way to find out.

We also begin plumbing the emotional depths of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's hauntingly beautiful series from IDW, Locke & Key.  We dive into the first of six volumes and embark on what will be an incredible journey into Keyhouse and the secrets within.  Do you like mysteries?   Then Locke & Key is exactly what you are looking for.

Plus, we answer your emails and voicemails, in addition to continuing our segment of "What is Rachael Reading?"
