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.

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...
