The Power Fantasy #14

Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard's The Power Fantasy reaches its fourteenth issue with a cover that crackles with quiet menace — a young woman with close-cropped pink hair stands resolute, her fingertips glowing with multicolored light while torn newspaper fragments (including pieces bearing the word "York") swirl through a fiery orange chaos around her. Wijngaard's artwork perfectly balances calm and catastrophe, her steady gaze suggesting someone in absolute control of forces that are very clearly not under anyone else's. "Publish and be Damned" promises the kind of charged, high-stakes storytelling this series does so well.
