'Uncanny Valley' Comic Book Synopsis & Review

🎧 Mostly Superheroes is back with a Scotty Scoop Spoiler-Free review of the latest comic book sensation: Uncanny Valley from Boom Studios. 
🔍 Comic Details: 
Title: Uncanny Valley: A Cartoon Adventure 
Creators: Written by Tony Fleecs and illustrated by Dave Wachter 
Release Date: Uncanny Valley hit the comic book shelves in Spring 2024. 
Where to Read: You can follow Oliver's adventures by finding Uncanny Valley online or grab a physical copy from your local comic book store. 
📖 Synopsis: Meet Oliver, a seemingly typical 12-year-old boy—except for his mysterious family history that revolves around his mother. Oh, and did I mention his unexplainable powers? Oliver can do things other boys can't, and it often lands him in trouble. His abilities have a surreal, cartoonish quality, and he's followed by a murder of peculiar crows. As Oliver pulls the thread on his family's secrets, he discovers a world where actual cartoons come to life! 
🌟 Fun Fact: The concept for Uncanny Valley was inspired by a real-life glitch in a virtual reality simulation. Tony Fleecs stumbled upon it during a late-night brainstorming session and decided to turn it into a mind-bending comic!
