Scotty Scoop of indie podcast Mostly Superheroes provides a spoiler-free synopsis and review of graphic novel ‘Superman Year One’.  

📖 Book Overview: From the collapsing spires of Krypton to the bucolic fields of Kansas, from the submerged splendors of Atlantis to the chaotic energy of the Daily Planet, the story of Clark Kent, last son of the House of El, is the stuff of legend. In Superman: Year One, writer Frank Miller (known for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Ronin, and Sin City) and artist John Romita Jr. reimagine the formative trials that young Clark must undergo to claim his place in our world. As he learns to balance the grave responsibilities of his powers against their limitless possibilities, Clark must also build his humanity just like everybody else—one relationship at a time. This visceral exploration of the fundamental importance of choice in Superman's journey into heroism is a must-read for fans and newcomers alike. 

🔍 What You Should Know: Before picking up this book, fans should be aware that Superman: Year One reframes the Man of Steel's most famous milestones—from Kal-El’s frantic exile from Krypton to Clark Kent’s childhood in Kansas, all the way to his rise as the most powerful and inspiring superhero of all time. 

🤔 Trivia Question: Here's a fun one for you: What's the name of the small Kansas town where Clark Kent grows up? 🌾 

🎉 Fun Fact: Superman: Year One was released in honor of Superman's 80th anniversary 🎂

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:

🎧 Mostly Superheroes is back with a Scotty Scoop Spoiler-Free review of the latest comic book sensation: Uncanny Valley from Boom Studios. 

🔍 Comic Details: 

📖 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? 🦸‍♂️
