Superpowers under a doomsday clock

Set in 1999, the opening volume frames six people with nuclear-arsenal-level destructive power as a global deterrence problem: open conflict among them could end the world. Its Cold War thriller premise centers on the spying, scheming, and violence used to prevent that confrontation, turning restraint itself into the central struggle. Pop-culture elements accompany the high-stakes question of how power can be managed when no clash is survivable. This paperback collects issues #1–5 of Kieron Gillen’s series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in superpowered fiction with global stakes
  • Readers drawn to Cold War thriller premises involving espionage and political tension
  • Comics readers curious about stories focused on deterrence and the risks of open conflict

If they come into conflict, the world ends.

The Power Fantasy is a pop culture-infused, superpowered, Cold War thriller about the spying, scheming, and violence these people will do to avoid coming into open conflict.

Come dance to the ticking of the doomsday clock with KIERON GILLEN (The Wicked + The Divine, DIE) and CASPAR WIJNGAARD (Homesick Pilots, All Against All).

The eternal fight against fighting starts now.
