123: Y: The Last Man, Vol 10: Whys and Wherefores; SDCC 2016 Aug 01, 2016

Show notes

It's taken us over a year to cover, but Under the Comic Covers finally reaches the final volume of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's masterpiece, Y: The Last Man, Vol 10: Why and Wherefores. It's been an interesting journey, and one that wasn't fraught with a few questionable moments, but the ending is by far one of the best literature has to offer. Plus, we chat about our experiences at SDCC 2016.

121: Y: The Last Man, Vol 9: Motherland Jul 15, 2016

Show notes

The penultimate volume of Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man, Vol 9: Motherland, is by far one of the best volumes of the series, surpassed by maybe only the final chapter. Under the Comic Covers is happy to finally be getting close to the finish line with this series as we ditch our "top 3 and/or 5" format for a more casual chat about the book.

119: Y: The Last Man, Vol 8: Kimono Dragons Jun 30, 2016

Show notes

It's the second slow week for new comic releases (that we cover at least), but Under the Comic Covers returns after a week off to continue our discussion of Brian K. Vaughan's classic comic masterpiece, Y: The Last Man with Volume 8: Kimono Dragons. Fear not however, next week we will return with five big titles to discuss!

Also, the audio quality of this episode is not what our listeners have come to expect from us. We had some technical difficulties during the recording of the episode that wasn't discovered until the editing had begun. Our apologies, the problem will be corrected immediately.

118: Manifest Destiny #20 Jun 16, 2016

Show notes

Sasquatch is revealed, and Under the Comic Covers is here to talk it out. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you view it, that statement is only true in this week's Manifest Destiny #20. We get some answers about the past, and raise some questions for the future... a fantastic issue, and we hope you enjoy this episode with a slightly different format (no Top 3 and no listener feedback... we had to record early... sorry).
