POWER FANTASY (2024)

Series Premiere. "Superpowered." You have certain preconceptions. They're incorrect. Here, that word has a specific technical definition. Namely, "any individual with the destructive capacity of the nuclear arsenal of the USA." There are six such people on Earth. The planet's survival relies on them never coming into conflict. Come dance to the ticking of the doomsday clock with Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + the Divine, Die) and Caspar Wijngaard (Home Sick Pilots, All Against All). The eternal fight against fighting starts now.

There are six people who can save the world. They save the world every day they don't use their powers. Yesterday, one used their gift. The world is still here. Have we been lucky, or has the fuse to end us all been lit?

On July 16, 1945 the world changed forever. Santa Valentina was born. There was also the Trinity test, but that's not as important. As the world hangs in the balance, we explore the life and times of the girl who fell... skipped... to Earth. Also: check out that cow!

Masumi's latest art exhibit opens tonight. Tokyo is petrified. Will any critic dare say what they think and risk unleashing her wrath? Meanwhile, Etienne discovers the dangers of long-haul flights when you've just murdered a world leader.

End of Story Arc. They call aging punk Jacky Magus a sellout, just because he's betrayed his principles. Jacky Magus rolls his eyes. Oh, you sweet naive things. He hasn't even begun to sell out yet. As the first arc of The Power Fantasy ends, we discover exactly what what the world's worth.

New Story Arc. We're back, and the doomsday clock is still ticking, tick-ticking. What's up? Everyone panickedly screams what have you done??! as Magus and Heavy's 18-years-in-the-making plans for world-domination are revealed. I'm sure it'll be okay and everyone won't die.

1989: a popular year with Taylor Swift fans. In The Power Fantasy, we have a different Queen, and she nearly killed us all. We finally reveal the horror of the Second Summer of Love.

Eliza Hellbound saved the world. When written like that, it sounds like a good thing. The Power Fantasy finally explores what makes the ultimate good girl gone bad tick-tick-tick.

Etienne knows Heavy is hiding a world-threatening son. What’s he going to do? Jacky Magus knows that Eliza Hellbound can stop his plan. Can he convince her to stay on his side? Isabella’s family are dead. Can she do anything about it? No. They’re dead. She’s just going to be sad.

Find out what happened when the Pyramid went to hell (complimentary) and how it makes the present day go to hell (derogatory). Come celebrate THE POWER FANTASY’s triumphant, celebratory tenth issue (issue 10 is issue 100 in old money).

We said this is a comic where fighting was the lose state. We’ve kept that promise. We didn’t say anything about murder.

NEW STORY ARC That Etienne Lux guy, eh? He’s an interesting fella. What’s going on with him? Also, %@$!ing chaos fallout from issue 11. Seriously, we’re just throwing handfuls at poop at every fan we see, then demanding more poop and more fans. More poop! More fans!

The truth will set us free. Alternatively, it'll kill us all. Let's find out.

This book really has gone to hell.

Wherein we discuss theoretical utilitarian arguments like, “Oh no! The kid in the Omelas hole has got a nuke! Runnnnn!”

END OF STORY ARC Okay, then. You win. Let’s do a fight.
