Powerscape #1 (Review)
Writer: Donal Thoms-Cappello Art: Cindy Leung 65 Dollar Productions, April 2026 Written and created by Donal Thoms-Cappello, with art by Cindy Leong and published by 65 Dollar Funeral Productions, Powerscape throws readers into a far-future Earth where climate change has made the planet largely unlivable. By the 28th century, the remaining cities are governed by sports franchises, with superpowered athletes competing for the extraterrestrial energy needed to maintain their cities’ artificial atmospheres. Into this strange and dangerous system comes Gela Gale, a climate refugee who becomes New Caledonia’s surprise breakout player. She quickly finds herself caught up in the political machinations surrounding the sport of Power Ball. With that premise, the first issue is inevitably exposition-heavy. There is a lot of world-building that needs to be established, from the state of the planet and the political structure of the surviving cities, to the history and significance of Power Ball itself.
