The Power Fantasy #13

Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard's The Power Fantasy reaches its thirteenth issue with a cover that commands attention: a bare-chested, battle-worn figure stands clenched-fisted with glowing white eyes, his hands wrapped and his expression one of barely contained fury, all set against a swirling bullseye of coral, teal, and pink. The design — Wijngaard's bold use of concentric rings as a backdrop, with fragments of debris floating through the palette — gives the whole thing an eerie, pressurized calm before something gives way. "Saint Etienne" is a story title that only adds to the intrigue, and this Image series continues to pair thoughtful craft with genuinely striking visual work.
