About The Book
"A rich and rewarding story about existential questions when super-powered gods walk amongst us." —AIPT

If they come into conflict, the world ends.
The Power Fantasy is a pop culture-infused, superpowered, Cold War thriller about the spying, scheming, and violence these people will do to avoid coming into open conflict.
Come dance to the ticking of the doomsday clock with KIERON GILLEN (The Wicked + The Divine, DIE) and CASPAR WIJNGAARD (Homesick Pilots, All Against All).
The eternal fight against fighting starts now.

"There's a thing when someone kicks open a door, the way Alan Moore did with Watchmen. People kind of stand in the doorway, and then people go through...and the latest one to do that is. . . [the] Power Fantasy."
– Patton Oswalt
"A brilliant redefinition of the concept of 'superpowers' that illuminate how precarious great-power competition renders our lives. Watch a masterpiece take form."
– Spencer Ackerman (Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, writer of Iron Man)
“A perfect debut issue.”
– Graphic Policy
"A rich and rewarding story about existential questions when super-powered gods walk amongst us... In a world where nuclear war is still possible and war rages overseas, The Power Fantasy feels well-timed and apt."
– AIPT
"Thought-provoking and dynamic in equal measures, with outstanding art. 10/10"
– ComiCon.com
"If you like your comics full of big ideas, laced with dark humor and the unnerving sense that the end of the world is just one family squabble away, this one's for you."
– GamesRadar
“It's intense, yet understated, and gripping. Ripe with the potential for drama, intrigue, nuance, depth, and meaning, The Power Fantasy is primed to explode superhero comics.”
– ComicBook.com
"An absolute must-read comic by two of the absolute best in the business."
– James Tynion IV, The Departmen
“A book constructed with artfulness and nuance and a care that borders on being obsessive. This is a good one, folks, and it has my highest recommendation.”
