This week Under the Comic Covers introduces two new titles... and although we don't bring you current with either, we go over the first volumes of both Jason Aaron and Jason Latour's Southern Bastards: Here Was a Man and Keiron Gillen and Jaime McKelvie's The Wicked + The Divine: The Faust Act. If you have not read either of these titles, run... don't walk... but seriously, run to whatever outlet you choose, but read these books. You will not be disappointed. We don't have any listener mail to respond to this week... we are assuming you were shocked to hear we were covering two different books and simply didn't have the opportunity to catch up on two volumes with such short notice, but we respond to a couple of Facebook responses for The Wicked + The Divine and talk about a new Image Comics #1 in Top of the Stack. This week we discuss Reyn, the new fantasy adventure comic by Kel Symons and Nate Stockman... if you like monster killing action and farmers' daughters with large breasts, then you won't want to miss this book.

In this episode of The Comics Alternative, Derek and Andy Wolverton discuss three new titles. They begin with the new book from R. J. Ryan and David Marquez, The Joyners in 3D (Archaia). They discuss the 3D aspect of the text and wonder if the special visual effects are really necessary. The story, though, is something worth reading, and the Two Guys recommend it on those grounds. You you don't mind putting on cardboard glasses with red and blue plastic lenses, this book is definitely for you. Next they turn to #1 issues of two new series. With Steve Orlando and Artyom Trakhanov's Undertow (Image Comics), they focus on the eye-capturing art and this first issue's attempts at world-building. And while they still have a few questions about the series' premise, they nonetheless feel that this title has a lot of promise and will continue on with subsequent issues. Next, Andy W. and Derek look at White Suits #1 (Dark Horse Comics), by Frank Barbiere and Tony Cypress. Again, they are taken by the art, especially Cypress's use of a simple black-white-red pallet. Also, the guys note that the comic's Cold War setting is something that will interest not only readers of noir narrative, but spy and espionage fans as well.
Russell and David interview 'The Mercenary Sea' writer Kel Symons. Then they are in the mix with Batman #28, Constantine #11, Superman/Wonder Woman #5, Justice League of America #12, Batgirl #28, Justice League 3000 #3, Thor: God of Thunder #19, All-New X-Men #23, Superior Spider-Man #27, Winter Soldier: The Bitter March #1, She-Hulk #1, Revolutionary War: Death's Head II #1, Star Wars #14, The Fuse #1, The Mercenary Sea #1, Manifest Destiny #4, The Walking Dead #121, Letter 44 #4, Eternal Warrior #6 and Harbinger #21. Next, they talk some news, discuss the latest episode of 'The Walking Dead', answer a listener question, and give their 'Best Bets' for next week.
