Praise for Fall Through

Nate Powell’s Fall Through captures the feeling of ephemera. Like notes reverberating in the air, Powell illustrates the intangible. He showcases the stunning power of art to make sense of a fleeting movement. The fleeting nature of love and loss, life and death.

Nate Powell has been one of our finest cartoonists for a while, and with Fall Through, he delivers an emotional and visceral tour de force. You’ll fall in love with these characters and feel like you’re on the road and on stage with them, feeling what they feel. You’ll feel more alive. It’s cathartic, powerful. An absolute masterpiece.”
Jeff Lemire, creator of Sweet Tooth and Essex County

Fall Through is magical. It somehow conjures the fever dream of memories I have of my years spent playing in punk basements, sleeping on floors, driving for hours to play for a few minutes, falling in love with music and people, turning into someone new along the way. Careening in a ride you created but can barely control.”
