This week I did a brand-new podcast interview with the thoughtful Shah Emami at Wits’ End, discussing Save It For Later, March, Come Again, Two Dead, and life in the past year. Enjoy!

2nd starred review for SAVE IT FOR LATER!
I’m moved to find that Save It For Later has received its second starred review, this time from Publishers Weekly!
“Powell perfectly sums up his mission: ‘It is we, together, who will determine what kind of society our kids grow into— by what we each choose to do, or not do.’ This sincere volume carries off parenting inspiration with gravitas.”
Save It For Later will be released everywhere on April 6th— there are still a few days left to order signed & sketched copies via my local shop, Vintage Phoenix Comics, and these copies will hopefully arrive before release day.

Starred review for SAVE IT FOR LATER at Booklist!
It’s an honor to find a starred review for Save It For Later over at ALA Booklist!
“Much of this work feels like visual poetry: the line-by-line sentences mirrored by stacked horizontal panels that become image-stanzas; spare, nuanced colors punctuated by fearsome splashes of aggression and encompassed by expressionistic darkness… This is a deeply personal, deeply partisan book, distinctly not a call for national unity… A virtuoso work of artistry with important content that might alienate some but powerfully stir others.”
If you’d like to pre-order signed/sketched copies of Save It For Later, do it here— thanks!
Signed SAVE IT FOR LATER bookplates for retailers!

Thanks for inviting me, Noah!

My wonderful local comics shop Vintage Phoenix is handling these sales, and I hope the orders will help their business continue to thrive during this ongoing pandemic.

"Pecking Order" online now at The Nib-- plausible deniability, pop culture, and our ongoing armed fascist threat
In light of last week’s violent, premeditated armed siege of the U.S. Capitol by organized white supremacists as part of an ongoing fascist movement to overthrow democracy, The Nib has made my comic “Pecking Order” available online here.
“Pecking Order” was originally published last summer as part of The Nib’s “Power” issue, and is a crucial chapter in my forthcoming book Save It For Later (out April 6th from Abrams ComicArts)— pre-order it here.
Since the January 6th fascist siege, there has been a huge level of interest in my comics essay “About Face” (also included in Save It For Later)— reupping that link here too.
Stay safe, stay vigilant, stick together. We’ve gotta do everything we can to hold on to a fragile democracy.
Love and solidarity,
Nate
SAVE IT FOR LATER-- PW's "Top 10 of Spring 2021" list!

Pre-order Save It For Later here from your outlet of choice, and/or through your local bookstore or comics shop— it’ll be out April 6th.

"About Face" and the plausible deniability of fascist aesthetic.
The fascist aesthetic shift of replacing the US flag with a parallel alternative is purposeful, expected, and terrifying.
1) a sequence from my 2018 essay “About Face” (now included as a key chapter in my forthcoming book Save It For Later, out 4/6/21):
2) The stage at last night’s fascist rally in Wisconsin:
New Titanic-themed comic in Scholastic Math magazine!

This was a lot of fun to make, with the bonus of getting to solve ratio problems with my third-grader!
