Uncanny Valley #2

Dave Wachter's cover for Uncanny Valley #2 stops you cold with a striking visual concept: a boy-shaped hole punched through a crumbling bedroom wall, through which an open desert highway stretches into the distance, complete with saguaro cacti and warm southwestern light. The room surrounding that void is unmistakably a kid's space — a vintage tube TV, a pennant, and action-figure-style fantasy warriors decorating the walls — grounding the surreal image in something deeply familiar. Tony Fleecs and Wachter are clearly building something that blends suburban childhood nostalgia with something stranger lurking just beyond it, and this BOOM! Studios series already feels like essential reading.
