About the series
In a world where the detonation of a single super-powered individual could end civilization, Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard’s The Power Fantasy (2024–present, Image) reimagines the Cold War as a tense, intimate drama between godlike beings. This 16-issue series strips away capes and costumes to focus on the fragile, paranoid diplomacy of a handful of people who hold the fate of humanity in their hands. With Wijngaard’s moody, expressive art grounding the high-concept premise, it’s a smart, character-driven take on power, consequence, and the terrifying weight of being a living weapon.
