Under the Comic Covers
Under the Comic Covers ends where it began four years ago, with The Walking Dead. We found it fitting and appropriate for this book to be the final issue we dive into.

Under the Comic Covers is very pleased to discuss three great books in what was a fantastic week for comics. First up, we talk about The Walking Dead #172, giving us one hell of a cliffhanger.

info_outlineThis week Under the Comic Covers welcomes a very special guest, Kirk Manley, illustrator of Z Girl and the Four Tigers, to tear apart the amazing double issue of The Walking Dead #127: A New Beginning.
We spend a bit of time chatting it up with Kirk and getting to learn more about his comic, his podcast, and about his incredible tribute art for the AMC version of The Walking Dead. We then give all of our top fives for the first issue in the post-Negen era and go over what new aspects of the series works for us, and what doesn't.
Plus, we dip our hands back into the UtCC Mail Sack and respond to listener responses to this very unusual chapter in Walking Dead history.
