Want to know what folk are saying about the book? The linked thread includes a whole bunch. I'll include the big Hickman Quote in the image, as otherwise it's insufficiently pretty and enticing. Click for more. bsky.app/profile/kier...

THE POWER FANTASY's teaser best explains the core concept, and hopefully will be enough to get you interested. It's an alternate history drama about six people who have the power to destroy the Earth, trying not to come into conflict. "Superpowers" as in "Nuclear Superpowers."

I think we're shifting into a new era of what superhero comics look & feel like, & books like @kierongillen.bsky.social & @casparw.bsky.social's THE POWER FANTASY are leading the way. A truly incredible first issue, paranoid & sweeping & beautiful to look at. FOCs Monday @imagecomics.bsky.social.

@kierongillen.bsky.social sent over issue #1 of THE POWER FANTASY, and it's incredible as expected. There's a quiet confidence to this, the first chapter of what is clearly meant to be a novel in comics. And @casparw.bsky.social's ascension to comics godhood continues apace.

This includes the first unlettered pages from THE POWER FANTASY's oversized normal-priced first issues. Have a taste of @casparw.bsky.social starting to tear it up.

The second of the Power Fantasy cast is revealed over at Screen Rant. This time it's Valentina, our angel. Don't worry She's a total sweetheart. Article includes quotes from Caspar and me and some unlettered pages from issue 1 of her in 1966. #thepowerfantasy screenrant.com/image-comics...
