Not all books are created equal, and this week gives us two examples of how you wrap up an arc in spectacular fashion, and Under the Comic Covers is here to dig deep into why these two issues work so well. First, we discuss The Walking Dead #168, an amazing issue that still manages more than a few laughs, a few tense moments, and enough sadness to crack the toughest heart. Then we move on to Paper Girls #15... we are left with so many new questions, and the promise of something great when this book returns. Enjoy...

Under the Comic Covers is no stranger to depressing material... but this week? This week delivers an emotional punch that, even though we saw it coming, landed with a hard gut churning thud. The Walking Dead #167 tackles one of it's saddest moments in a long history of sad moments, and we are there to talk it through. In addition to the misery-fest that is The Walking Dead this month, we also cover some lighter fare... and by that we mean a couple other books that are violent, chaotic, and occasionally funny. Manifest Destiny #28 returns to the psycho fog, and Paper Girls #14 finds our intrepid explorers reunited, if for just a brief moment. Enjoy... and we hope you are all alright. Consider this your group therapy.  Chapters Intro   (0:00)     UtCC News of the Week   (2:38) The Walking Dead #167   (8:22) The Walking Dead Mail   (28:45) Manifest Destiny #28   (33:35) Paper Girls #14   (49:40) End   (1:05:37) Next episode: Copperhead #13   Any questions, comments, or a pair of super cool future ju

It is with very heavy hearts that Under the Comic Covers chats about the final issue of one of the books that inspired us to create this podcast in the first place. Sure it was The Walking Dead that was the first book for us to cover, but it was Revival that made us want to branch out and discuss something more than just zombies... so we decided to talk about people who have risen from the dead and can not die anymore. Totally different! And in fact, it was totally different. Tim Seeley and Mike Norton created an amazing rural noir that took five years to complete, and took a wonderfully long and winding road to it's beautiful and satisfying conclusion. Without further ado, our discussion of Revival #47. Enjoy!
