Time for a new pinned post.

(To be fair to the rpg - I’m sure these are official marvel figures from somewhere.)

That sounds more like it.

Maybe its the size of the protein powder sack in her room?

I just laughed loudly enough to draw attention in the shop when I read hope summers marvel rpg character stats that claimed she’s 5’6” and 106lbs.

I don’t read many graphic novels - i have particular tastes that rarely run to marvel or DC. However, @kierongillen.bsky.social’s The Power Fantasy is just my jam and I’m betting it’s yours too. There’s a couple of trade collections out now so a good time to start.

October 20th is the order cut off for DIE: LOADED, sequel to the three-time Hugo-nominated DIE. I've pulled together a short primer it with all the info you need on it - what it is, previews, full cover details (check out our sketch variant!) and more. Go nose! Join our party. It's an experience.

Today, The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin opens at AA Gallery in London! Curated by Sarah Shin and Harriet Jennings, the exhibition presents a selection of Ursula's maps, including some that have never been exhibited before.
A photo of the entrance to The Word for World exhibition, with two banners hanging vertically down outside the doorway to a brick building with white-paned windows. A row of bicycles are parked in front. The banners are purple and white and say the name of the exhibition and Ursula K. Le Guin's name. A cord-wrapped rock rests on a vivid blue background next to a map of and program for The Word for World exhibition. A stack of copies of The Word for World book, which shows the title in vivid blue against a black cloth cover.

Ran out of words and not tagging @imagecomics.com and @stephaniehans.bsky.social. Also, appreciate any spreading of this. It is that time.

Honestly, that I'm starting to write the DIE Bindings Marketing copy and Renegade Master comes on the radio has to be taken as a good omen.
kierongillen.bsky.social
Expect to see me banging the Die-drum a bunch across the next week. You need to get your orders in a week on Monday. It doesn't even need to be formal - talk about the books you like to the retailer, and it effects their orders. Now back to making marketing material.

DIE: Loaded has just been announced, where @stephaniehans.bsky.social and myself are back at @imagecomics.com and doing our goth jumanji thing to its fullest effect.

Out November 12th.

Lots more info over at Rascal: www.rascal.news/exclusive-di...
The basic advert for DIE: Loaded - a big ol' bear witha. woman crawling out of its mouth, with a fox at her feet.

Out November 12th.

Me: I know this issue of “The Power Fantasy” will be intense. But it won’t be so intense that I’ll be ready to create a Time Machine and buy the omnibus when it ends.

So. #ThePowerFantasy No. 12. I have to admit I did not see that coming. Should have known better that @kierongillen.bsky.social and @casparw.bsky.social can always surprise me. You people really have to pick this series up. I want it to keep going for a long, long time.

At the @fantomcomics.bsky.social POWER FANTASY book club that Kieron Skyped into, there was discussion of the massive different reactions Etienne causes, and it's interesting b/c I certainly don't think he's good but I do think him being a utilitarian is the best case scenario at book start.

INACTION FIGURES!
stevenwfafnir.bsky.social
Also, I think I no longer want an Etienne Lux action figure. #PowerFantasy

Seriously though, I would love a set of Power Fantasy action figures..

If you’re not reading The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social then you’re really missing out.

Issue 12 is the start of a new arc and is probably my favorite issue of the series so far.

You can even read the first issue online for free!
