Looking at the Hugo finalists for Best Graphic Novel:
The Power Fantasy Volume 1: The Superpowers (Kieron Gillen; art by Caspar Wijngaard)
is a really great start to a new series from Gillen, whose series (DIE and THE WICKED AND THE DIVINE) have all been bangers. There are 6 superpowered people in the world with extreme levels of power that can destroy countries and continents; there are also a number of less-powerful people called Atomics (but we don't learn much about them here). In 1999, after some 30 years, the uncomfortable relationships between the 6 Superpowers may be fraying.Gillen just throws you into it. One back-cover blurb calls it "a cross between WATCHMEN and SUCCESSION", but I think it's more like WATCHMEN and THE GOOD PLACE, as Etienne Lux is very concerned with ethics, such as "what's the minimal number of people to kill to solve this problem?". You quickly learn how the world is balanced on a knife edge: the US keeps attempting to take out one of the Superpowers, who then retaliate in focused but devastating ways. The character backstories are intriguing; we don't learn all of them in volume 1, but there are tantalizing hints. Going on my to-follow list, for sure!
(1/6)

4/5 stars to Once and Future, vol 5, by Kieron Gillen.
The mad lad Kieron Gillen did it - he stuck the landing in a way that made sense without an extreme amount of Dues Ex Machinas. And we even (finally!) got the reason why most of the Arthur's look like... that. At some point I need to go back and read them all the way through in a much shorter timeline, just to see what I forgot.

If Doom is saying —referring to himself in the third person, of course— "Your master awaits," right after having said "Come, sweet future" in the previous panel, then you can bet is not going to be sunny.

Kid Dungeon Master’s Neighborhood Reign: Nostalgic Confession Inspired by “Die”
1. A Long-expected Party. Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: my annual comic book reviews included a promise of a future entry inspired by Die, the new Image Comics series by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans that I encapsulated like so: What if you took the structure of Stephen King’s It, but instead of fighting a murderous super-clown, the kids and adults in their respective eras were reliving the ’80s Dungeons and Dragons cartoon as a horror story, and the Big Bad was Tom Hanks from Mazes and Monsters turned into a truly mystical, manipulative interdimensional overlord? Painted art by Stephanie Hans is like a high-end gallery showing on every page, while writer Kieron Gillen is engaging in ambitious, phenomenally detailed world-building, worrisome in its six-digit word count and rising. He’s exploring fantasy tropes and toying with them from within, but he’s also designed an entire RPG from the ground up to facilitate his vision, one that’s dredging up so many childhood memories for me — some I would dare label “definitive” in regard to my personal backstory — that I’ll need to devote a separate entry to this series in the near future. I have a lot of baggage to unpack here, and I blame Gillen for wheeling the baggage cart right up next to me. I had the pleasure of meeting painter Stephanie Hans at this year's C2E2, where I gave her the elevator-pitch version of this entry and she encouraged me to share it. I got a kick out of meeting Kieron Gillen at C2E2 2013, where we briefly chatted about his Britpop-magic fantasy Phonogram and he asked me which character I identified with most. I honestly hadn't given much thought to it and was ashamed to have no answer, either prepared or improvised. I'm not used to pros at a con asking me a question beyond "Where are you from?" (Having had time to think later, my answer came to me, obvious if twofold. As a young adult from 1989 to 2000 I imagined myself Seth Bingo, self-anointed tastemaker and DJ, bringing my boom-box and tapes/CDs to entertain at work after-hours -- no requests allowed, sharing my collection with peers who just didn't get me or my nightly playlist. For my life 2000-present I've been closer to Lloyd, engaging with music intellectually via long thinkpieces written only for the audiences in my head, but rarely physically and never socially, thus arguably denying its greatest powers. If only I could've written all that on an index card before approaching Gillen's table. Or narrowed my answer down to just one of those two alienating dudes.) The farther I've read into Die, the more I've found myself reflecting on my own experiences with Dungeons and Dragons, an integral part of my preteen years. It was a compelling confluence of entertainment and imagination. It was a big hit with the other kids who joined in. It also ushered in the end of my circle of childhood friends. […] -
C2E2 2013 Photos, Part 5 of 6: Actors and Creators Who Made Our Day
Continuing our coverage of last weekend's fourth annual Chicago Comic and Entertainment Exposition ("C2E2"), this episode covers the sci-fi actors and comic book creators we met this year. With one exception, all of these were folks we'd never met before. My wife wanted to meet a few veterans of the Star Wars saga; I wanted to meet writers and artists responsible for great works. Highest priority on my own list: British music journalist turned comics writer Kieron Gillen. His two-year run on Journey into Mystery turned Kid Loki into one of the funniest, most heartbreaking characters in the Marvel Universe. His creator-owned Phonogram (two miniseries and counting) is a sharp fantasy mixing music, magic, and the people who live for both. Current gigs include Iron Man and Young Avengers, which both tend to rise to the top of my weekly reading pile. Also: my favorite photo of the weekend. If you haven't read at least one of his books, you're what's wrong with comics. […]
