false 2901824 1 <I>Powr Mastrs Vol. 2</I> follows hot on the heels of this elusive artist's first volume-- in a series of six graphic novels--which was one of last year's most anticipated debuts. C.F. comes out of the mythic Providence, Rhode Island art and noise scene--his musical alias is Kites. In a recent profile <I>The Comics Reporter</I> observes, "Contrasting sharply with many of his flashier contemporaries, [C.F.'s] primary skill lies in overlooked nuances of comics storytelling, in particular pacing." His distinctive voice and intricate rendering skills have attracted attention from the groundbreaking comics anthology, <I>Kramers Ergot</I>--he was included in the fourth issue, and featured on the cover of the fifth. Here, C.F.'s epic fantasy--an allegorical tale where power, physical identity and even gender are always in flux--picks up steam: Buell Kazee sneaks down into the cellar of the plex knowe crypt and conjures trouble; Tetradyne Cola takes a nap and dreams of Monica Glass and the lemon sparklers of star studio; members of the Marker clan compare notes on their magical crimes and the witches of Lace Temblor conspire over transmutation night. 2928962 1 10 2008 C.F.: Powr Mastrs Vol. 2 total:37|5:16|4:18|3:3|2:0|1:0| 37 161 43 4 5 0 false false Mon Jan 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 22:33:33 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 22:52:56 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Feb 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 14:57:44 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 14:58:42 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 11 01:45:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 01:47:12 -0800 2009 Powr Mastrs 2, C.F.'s world and story starts to come into focus. It's still insane and still utterly alien, but a structure is starting to reveal itself. Because of that, it's not as bizarre as the first one, which is both a good and bad thing. I can't wait for the next one.]]> 5 0 false false Tue Apr 08 16:14:10 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 16:14:23 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Nov 06 09:58:52 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 09:58:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 30 11:20:09 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 11:20:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 18 15:40:57 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 15:40:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 11:50:46 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 11:50:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 17 18:28:36 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 18:28:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 00:11:22 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 00:11:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Aug 14 22:34:45 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 22:34:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jul 19 23:19:59 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 23:19:59 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jul 07 01:50:16 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 01:50:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jul 04 19:23:22 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 19:23:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 03 12:29:46 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 12:29:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 29 20:20:25 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 20:20:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 04 22:02:51 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 22:02:51 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 19:14:35 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 19:14:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 15 06:46:04 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 08:14:30 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 06:46:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Mar 25 05:11:46 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 05:11:46 -0700 2009
