    We are hitting the road once again! This time, venturing over to The Grove in St. Louis to record a classic episode at The Gramophone with the people that make the magic happen. From sandwiches to music to great vibes, The Gramophone has opened it’s doors to us and countless members of the greater St. Louis community of every background since 2008. We are so excited to finally take our fans inside The Gramophone. Join us as we discover and share some behind the scenes details and hopefully find out what makes the so delicious and the staff so friendly.

    Their story (in their words):

    The Gramophone was born in March 2008 as an intimate concert club in The Grove neighborhood of St. Louis. After 7 years and over 1500 amazing shows we decided to change gears. Since Feb 2015 we have been a sandwich pub, focusing all of our energy on creating great sandwiches and bringing people great craft beer and good times. Although we are no longer a concert venue, we do feature live music and DJs a freaking ton:

  • '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! 

    🤔 Trivia Question: Who is the enigmatic villain that Oliver encounters within the Uncanny Valley? 🦸‍♂️
