Explanations, Observations, and Links of Note
  • If you haven’t been following along with Cal and my’s issue-by-issue chats, you can find them all by clicking here. At the time of this writing, we’ve nearly finished our discussion of issue seven; it should be posted soon.
  • The Power Fantasy primer on Bindings is just a really neat artifact, in addition to having SO MUCH information about the series. Even if you’ve read this volume, you should still check it out.
  • It’s not an official recommendation, but Nuclear War: A Scenario really is worth a read if you want to learn about (and can stomach) the most likely scenario of what would happen during a real nuclear war.
  • Here’s Chip Zdarsky’s lovely pitch for Zdarsky Comic News, which everyone should watch and laugh at.
  • And here’s the first episode of Gillen’s Decompressed interviews with The Power Fantasy team.
  • And here’s the tumblr for The Power Cut, the very cool The Power Fantasy fanzine.
  • And (finally) here’s Alec Robbins’s Severance Mystery Box critique essay that we referenced, in case you want to give it a read.
