The Power Fantasy Volume 1

IGN, Best Comics of 2024 NEWSARAMA, Best Comics of 2024 REDDIT r/comics, Best Ongoing Series of 2024 THE BEAT, Best 50 Comics of 2024“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.” –Jonathan Hickman, X-Men, The B“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”“An absolute must-read comic by two of the absolute best in the business.”–James Tynion IV, The Departmen“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”“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“Thought-provoking and dynamic in equal measures, with outstanding art. 10⁄10” – “ComiCon.com”
