The Power Fantasy

Kieron Gillen, Caspar Wijngaard

Set in 1999, this superpowered Cold War thriller follows six near-omnipotent individuals whose combined destructive potential could bring about the end of the world. Rather than risk open conflict, they navigate a tense web of espionage, alliances, manipulation, and carefully measured violence as every decision brings humanity closer to catastrophe. Blending superhero spectacle with sharp pop-cultural wit and political intrigue, the story explores power, deterrence, responsibility, and the impossible challenge of preventing those capable of everything from using it. This volume collects issues #1–5.
