Uncanny Valley #9

Uncanny Valley #9 from Boom! Studios presents one of the more disorienting cover compositions you'll encounter this year — a red-haired young man tumbles upside-down, his wide blue eyes staring out at the reader, while below him stretches a breathtaking alien landscape of colorful foliage, winding rivers, and strange rocky formations. The inverted perspective makes the lush, dreamlike world feel both vast and vertiginous, as though the ground and sky have quietly agreed to swap places. Dave Wachter handles pencils, inks, and colors throughout, and the result is a cover that pulls you in with its warm palette before you fully register just how unsettled it wants you to feel.
