Uncanny Valley Series

Oliver and his family are separated. He’s lost in a world he just found out existed while his mom and grandpa are trapped in the real world, trying desperately to get back to him. This new world looks bright and beautiful but there’s a darkness creeping in. Can Oliver learn to tame the darkness?

Dive into the cartoonist’s desk for a look back at the origins of the cartoon world (and its connection to the real world), in this lore-expanding issue of prehistoric and biblical proportions! Beyond steamboats and cartoon dinosaurs lies the First in her castle, but what is her place in all of this? What is Olivers’s?

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.

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…

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…

The line between reality and cartoons shatters in the thrilling conclusion of the Eisner-nominated series!

Oliver’s connection to the cartoon world runs deeper than he ever imagined—and now, that connection may be the only thing standing between two collapsing realities. As darkness spreads and the rise of The First threatens both worlds, Oliver must harness his strange, storybook powers to save the people he loves and uncover the truth behind his family’s past.

Harvey Award–nominated writer Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs) and acclaimed artist Dave Wachter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) return for the mind-bending finale of the critically acclaimed, coming-of-age crossover!
