73: Y: The Last Man, Vol 2: Cycles Jul 24, 2015

Show notes

Although this was a slow week for new comic releases, Under the Comic Covers still carries on. We continue our way through Brian K. Vaughan's acclaimed completed series, Y: The Last Man with Volume 2: Cycles.

Mr. Blahg brings a beloved reboot to Top of the Stack with Archie #1 by Mark Waid and Fiona Staples; and Grace, unbeknownst to her, finds herself recommending Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic from Top Cow Productions, a beautiful BDSM love story.

And of course, we answer some mail... all for the low low price of nothing but an hour plus of your time. Thanks for listening... and enjoy the show.

In the end, who will still be standing?

69: The Walking Dead #143; Wayward #9 Jun 26, 2015

Show notes

Under the Comic Covers is back this week with two favorites... one rather old, the other quite new. The Walking Dead #143: A Union was a fantastic issue with a few surprises and some unadulterated joy (not much, but what do you expect). Wayward #9 uncovers more threads, more spinners, and a potential new stressor in our young heroes' supergroup.

Grace brings a new title from Image Comics to Top of the Stack, Brian Buccellato and Toni Infante's Sons of the Devil. And as always, we answer your mail and talk about a some comic news of the week.

65: They're Not Like Us #6; Wayward #8; CHEW #49 May 29, 2015

Show notes

After a week off, Under the Comic Covers returns to discuss three of our favorite titles (as if they weren't all our favorite titles). We begin with the first arc ending issue of They're Not Like Us #6, move on to the gorgeous Japanese tale of Wayward #8, and conclude with an always welcome dose of hilarity with CHEW #49.

This week's Top of the Stack features Harrow County by Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook from Dark Horse Comics. Mr. Blahg also brings up a few other titles... Lady Killer from Dark Horse, and two comics from Image, Nonplayer and Injection. All highly recommended.
