Críticas:
"Powell's extraordinary artwork makes one feel, rather than read, what the book is about." - Booklist
"If you're trying to get someone new into graphic novels this book may be just the thing you need. Someone who reads "McSweeney's" or subscribes to "Harper's" but has no graphic literature in their life will be bowled over by the beauty and grace of Powell's style. There are simply too few superlatives for this book." -"Bookslut"
"This Nate Powell wittily, even surgically, cuts to the bone. Observant, intimate cartooning, anchored with a nice, punchy use of black. Good comics." --Frank Miller, creator of "Sin City" and "300"
"He captures that most elusive thing that disappears with age: wonder. If most people spend their entire lives longing for past episodes from their youth, then Nate addresses that longing, covering his pages with lost wonder, and offering it, wholeheartedly, back to us. His work offers the hope we might never grow old, and that even if we do, our dreams are always within reach. The power of his work is a reminder of the persistance of joy." --"EnComics"
""Sounds of your Name" is a graphic novel anthology of black-and-white zine and comic stories by punk band player Nate Powell. Featuring dark, gritty artwork, dialogue that turns on a dime from casual to deadly serious, and sequences that are likewise drift from day-in-the-life to tense to shockingly explosive, the stories in "Sounds of Your Name" captivate with underground fervor. From the hard life of an alley cat who longs for the comforts of domesticity, to the simultaneously grim and spiritual insights of a war veteran, to the rites of passage from childhood to adulthood, "Sounds of Your Name" is undeniably a 'thinking man's comic' from cover to cover. An avant-garde collection especially recommended for anyone interested in taking the pulse of the underground comix scene." --"Midwest Book Review "
"If you're a fan of Nate Powell, this is the book you've been waiting for. It collects all sorts of bits from his old Walkie Talkie series, shorter pieces from a variety of sources, and unpublished pieces. If you're not a fan of Nate's work, it's probably only because you haven't seen it yet." --"Optical Sloth "
"The artwork in "Sounds of Your Name" is fluid and forceful. With beautiful linework, bold contrasts, and dynamic design, the work is eminently suited to its black-and-white presentation. Powell experiments with styles and orientation throughout. But pushing boundaries is risky business and there are moments when Powell trades off visual excitement for clarity." --"Midnight Fiction"
"This book is the moment when you start the car and leave your hometown forever with only the clothes on your back and the moment you decide to turn off the car and stay where you are. It's living the dream, waiting for death, fighting off boredom and giving in to it. It's trying to make sense of it all while knowing deep down that there is no sense to be made. If you've never questioned a goddamn thing in your life, this comic will fly right over your head. For the rest of us, you may find a few of your questions about life answered in these pages, but you'll also find many more questions. In times as shitty as these, it helps to at least take a look around you. As a wise man once said, the unexamined life is not worth living, and this comic sums that up beautifully." --"Optical Sloth"
"An appropriate showcase for a powerful, versatile artist." --"Zine Thug"

Nate Powell's (Soophie Nun Squad, Boomfancy, Tiny Giants, It Disappears, Walkie Talkie, Conditions, Wonderful Broken Thing, Schwa Sound, Playground Messiah) intricate black & white art focuses on the terrors and pleasures of growing up. Poignantly plumbing the existential angst of youth, he invokes great coming-of-age novels with only a few dozen words. This book collects his self published zines and comics dating back to 1992, his first two graphic novels (Tiny Giants and It Disappears), and new work. These stories build vignette by vignette into a rich tableau of lofty dreams and Deep South disappointment, car crashes and love letters, first kisses and four-tracks. Powell's work is a reminder of the persistence of wonder against all odds.
