“The great joy of an ongoing like this, as it’s only ever going to be gaining in power. It’s a machine designed to accelerate. I just had my editor mail frankly amazing levels of swearing when she read the end of issue #8. We really can’t wait to share this with folks. Don’t miss it. It really may be the end of the world,” said Gillen. “We also cooked up a living comic magazine to introduce folks to The Power Fantasy. Want to know more? It’s there, waiting for you.”
Gillen will be signing at Waterstones Piccadilly on Tuesday, February 18 in celebration of the collected edition of the first story arc and to share details of what’s to come for the series.
The Power Fantasy series follows 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?
