Oh, and by the way— I’m not being paid to say this, I’m just ridiculously fixated on both comics and want to see them get more love. (7/7, whew.)

Tl;dr: he Power Fantasy is good, O Human Star is good, you should read them both, and you can do so online! OHS is available in full at ohumanstar.com and the first issue of TPF is available at imagecomics.com/read/the-power-fantasy . (6/?)

I’ve seen TPF reviews that mention its many, beautifully drawn “talky scenes”. (Probably that’s Big 2 comics fans surprised by that.) If you want another story full of tense, layered conversations where the art “says” as much as the dialogue, check out OHS for sure. (5/?)

Both comics have a sharp awareness of fashion that ties together character and setting. TPF’s decades-long timeline highlights how characters change with the times, and OHS highlighs how different marginalized and privileged identities inform how people dress. (4/?)

The obvious similarity is the art style. TPF and OHS both have this smooth-lined, flat-color aesthetic that feels clean and modern but also full of life. Varied, expressive characters in beautifully-detailed surroundings. Honestly, just tune out this text and look at the pictures. (3/?)

They’re different genres— The Power Fantasy is an alternate history reinterpretation of Superpowers, inspired by the X-Men, and O Human Star is near-future sci-fi about queer love in a changing world. But they’re both deep character dramas with lots of similar qualities. (2/?)

"yoink" was great but the best TPF sound effect so far is "TUFF" from issue 9. Kid rules.
