Under the Comic Covers

Latest Episodes:

114: Southern Bastards, Vol 3: Homecoming May 13, 2016

Show notes

After two false promises, we are finally able to cover Southern Bastards, Vol 3: Homecoming. Who knew they would change the number of issues per volume, completely change the book's narrative structure, and space it out over the course of the last year? Not Under the Comic Covers, but we were patient (eventually), and that patience paid off in what is an amazing story of a southern county gone from bad to worse on the back of the hubris of one small man. Join us as we delve into this modern southern gothic tale of lies, betrayal, and football.

113: The Walking Dead #154; Nailbiter #21; Rat Queens #16; Revival #39 May 06, 2016

Show notes

Four big titles this week, and Under the Comic Covers is happy to go over at least three of the four books. Unfortunately, we bid adieu to Rat Queens as issue #16 leaves us both a little cold as it takes it's final bow. On the plus side, The Walking Dead #154 is one of the more hilarious (yes, seriously... hilarious) issues of TWD we've ever read, Nailbiter #21 begins what is sure to be a spectacular arc, and Revival #39 moves the story forward in a big way.

112: Saga #36; Sex Criminals #15 Apr 28, 2016

Show notes

This week, Under the Comic Covers is very pleased to be talking about two titles that have always gone great together (see Episode 3 for why we feel that way). First up, we have Saga #36, wrapping up the series' sixth arc in spectacular fashion. After that, we have a return to form with Sex Criminals #15. We may have ripped this book a new one after issue #14, but this issue, wrapping up it's third arc, makes up for whatever grievances we may have had. As an added little bonus, we discuss the new Image Comics magazine, Image+, as Mr. Blahg's Top of the Stack pick. Included in this magazine is the first of twelve parts of The Walking Dead's Negan backstory, and so much more.

Show notes

This week, Under the Comic Covers discusses the latest issue of Eric Stephenson and Dave Taylor's Nowhere Men #9. We have a great deal of information about the Podcastica Network to share (so stick around to the end), plus more than a few tangents as this episode becomes what Grace so eloquently referred to as, "the longish short one".
