23: Nailbiter #4; Locke & Key Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom
Release Date: 08/08/2014
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.
info_outline 183: The Walking Dead #174; Paper Girls #18Under the Comic Covers
Under the Comic Covers has the distinct pleasure of talking about two fantastic issues of two fantastic books in this episode. We open with The Walking Dead #174, giving us our best look yet at Negan's inner-self as well as giving us, the readers, some well earned closure for a couple of characters. We then move on to Paper Girls #18, where we get some much needed exposition which completely alters our view of the various players in this particular story.
info_outline 182: Copperhead #16; Wayward #25; Manifest Destiny #32Under the Comic Covers
Under the Comic Covers returns from a short holiday break to discuss three great books. First up, we talk about Copperhead #16 before moving on to Wayward #25. Finally, we round it all up with this week's release, Manifest Destiny #32.
info_outline 181: Black Science #33Under the Comic Covers
Under the Comic Covers dives head first into the Eververse this week as we talk about Rick Remender's incredible sci-fi masterpiece, Black Science #33. Yes, we fan-boy/girl the hell out of this book, and specifically this issue... but dag-nabbit, it's worth the adulation!
info_outline 180: The Walking Dead #173; Paper Girls #17; Royal City #7Under the Comic Covers
Under the Comic Covers is back this week to tackle three fantastic books; The Walking Dead #173, Paper Girls #17, and Royal City #7. Our apologies for the delay in our coverage of The Walking Dead and Paper Girls, it was all Mr. Blahg's fault.
info_outline 179: Saga #48; Copperhead #15; Wayward #24Under the Comic Covers
This week, Under the Comic Covers has three amazing issues to go over. First, we finish out the latest arc with Saga #48... we then travel to a more frontier-like planet with the western themed Copperhead #15... and finally, we discuss a literally explosive issue of Wayward #24.
info_outline 178: They're Not Like Us #16Under the Comic Covers
Under the Comic Covers is always happy to welcome back a book that hasn't released a new issue in a while... They're Not Like Us #16 brings us back to a San Francisco filled with young "gifted" people and begins it's final three issue push.
info_outline 177: Black Science #32; Royal City #6Under the Comic Covers
This week, Under the Comic Covers dives head first into the Eververse with Black Science #32 and gets some heavy emotion with Jeff Lemire's Royal City #6. Two great titles... two great issues... two fun chats.
info_outline 176: The Walking Dead #172; Manifest Destiny #31; Paper Girls #16Under the Comic Covers
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. We move on to the 19th century and delve into Manifest Destiny #31. Finally we travel through time once again and land in the year 2000 as we have a confused chat about Paper Girls #16.
info_outline 175: Saga #47; Rat Queens Special: Orc Dave #1Under the Comic Covers
This week, we go Under the Comic Covers of Saga #47, where we learn quite a bit more about someone's past, and Rat Queens Special: Orc Dave #1... which we were very pleasantly surprised by.
info_outlineWe at Under the Comic Covers don't plan on setting up thematic episodes (maybe a little, but not overtly), yet we do it again with another exceptionally creepy pairing of Nailbiter #4 and Locke & Key Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom.
Nailbiter continues it's fantastic first arc by answering a few questions and asking quite a few more, all while leaving us in the dark in terms of who the real new serial killer is...
Meanwhile, Locke & Key delivers yet another incredible chapter in what is one of our favorite completed series. Events come to a head as things boil down to genuine life or death situations, and what is left behind leaves much to anticipate as we come closer to the end.
As always we answer your email and questions... although sadly, this week we only had one fantabulous email... but make sure to get your emails in quickly next week... we will be covering The Walking Dead and Rat Queens... so we expect more from you... send in those emails!
