This week's newsletter is a big one. The Power Fantasy #12 out, DIE: Loaded approaching, signings, funny homages, zines, links, gargants and turning 50. Erk. #comics

In this issue we have both deep dives on Catholic theology like this and ALSO spend several pages discussing how two of the main male characters should hate fuck with masks on, so we contain multitudes

Reupping for the weekday crowd

New with this issue we also have an Itch.io page thepowercut.itch.io , handy if Tumblr scares and confuses you

And finally here's @tamsynelle.bsky.social stretching a metaphor to breaking point and beyond by comparing Etienne Lux to shards of glass. For reasons. www.tumblr.com/thepowercut/...

Then there's this piece about Ray "Heavy" Harris, which goes deep on his clothing choices. Some fantastic insights here, thanks to the incomparable Jay E (www.tumblr.com/idonttakethi...) without whom none of this would have happened: www.tumblr.com/thepowercut/...

We've been posting more of our essays in an atomically shareable (see what i did there) format on our Tumblr! Here's a personal piece from @jasonkjones.bsky.social on disaster artist Morishita Masumi: www.tumblr.com/thepowercut/...

In case you didn't download the zine, or just wanted the essays in a less pretty but more atomically shareable form, we're going to be republishing them on Tumblr individually over the next few weeks. Here's the first one, an introduction by @tamsynelle.bsky.social :
