The Power Fantasy Volume 1: The Superpowers

The Power Fantasy Volume 1: The Superpowers is the first collected edition of the comic series written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Caspar Wijngaard, gathering issues 1 to 5. The story is set in 1999, in a world where six people each hold destructive power equal to the entire nuclear arsenal of the United States. If any of them ever came to open blows, the world would end. Rather than a story about heroes saving the day, the series is a Cold War style political thriller, focused on the spying, scheming and violence these figures use to avoid the one fight no one can survive. The book is rated for mature readers and was a 2026 Hugo Award finalist.
