UNCANNY VALLEY (2024)

Oliver is a seemingly typical 12 year old boy... except for a mysterious family history that seems to start and end with his mother, and unexplainable powers, that is. He can do things other boys can't, to the point of landing him in some trouble. Baffled by the surreal cartoonish nature of his abilities and followed by a murder of peculiar crows, the mystery behind Oliver's family history finally unfolds! Written by fan-favorite writer Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs, Local Man) and illustrated by acclaimed artist Dave Wachter (Punisher, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), discover what makes Oliver special and strange as he searches for his place in the world.

As the mystery of Oliver's origins continues to unfold, the literal cartoonish realism of his existence has to somehow be connected to his mother's origins in Burbank, California. And with his uncanny powers setting him apart from the other kids, what will Oliver do to make his own way in the world? Especially considering that there are sinister forces at play, watching from the other end of a portal...

Oliver finds himself someplace outside our world, a two-dimensional place where his mom is desperate to get him back from, but it seems impossible. As Oliver runs into very real danger in the cartoon realm, someone from his family's past and other allies may be just the help he needs...

Cartoonish chaos ensues as Oliver finds himself in danger during an action-packed cacophony, but a maternal protector isn't far behind.   But the clearing smoke makes room for a sinister figure, ready to make a sacrifice...

In the penultimate issue of the truly unique series where animation meets reality, the villainous showdown between The First, Oliver, his mother, and the other toons ensues! While toons can't die, they can still meet a terrible fate, and it's up to Oliver to hand himself over... or risk his family.
