Love and Rockets meets Russian Doll in this original, full-color graphic novel about an underground punk band caught in a loop of an eternally repeating tourâfrom National Book Awardâwinning cartoonist Nate Powell.
Â
At first glance, Diamond Mine seems to have emerged in 1979 as Arkansasâs first punk band. Instead, this quartet is revealed to be interdimensional travelers from 1994, guidedâlargely against their willâby vocalist Dianaâs powerful spell embedded into their song âFall Through.â
Â
As Diamond Mine tours the country, each performance of the song triggers a fracturing of space-time perceptible only by the band members as theyâre transported to alternate worlds in which theyâve never existed, but their bandâs legend has. That is, until Jody, the bandâs bassist and the storyâs protagonist, finds herself disrupting Dianaâs sorcery, even at the cost of her own beloved work and legacy. While some band members perpetually seek the free space offered by the underground punk scene to escape from their mundane or traumatic lives, others work toward it as a means of expression, connection, and growthâeven if that means eventually outgrowing Sisyphean patterns and inevitably outgrowing their beloved band-family altogether.
Â
Master cartoonist Nate Powell has crafted a graphic novel that serves as both a brilliant example of circular storytelling, reminiscent of Netflixâs Russian Doll, and a love letter to the spirit of punk communities. Fall Through will stay with the reader long after theyâve turned the last page, asking the impossible question: Would you burn down everything you love in order to save it all?
