    The world's end will eventually come despite our best efforts to prevent it. Peace can only last so long until it breaks down, and we are forced to see the full face of death that we hide away from ourselves. Gillen and Wijngaard prove that it does not start with a bang but with a small flame that lights up the powder keg. The doomsday clock has begun to speed up, but the characters do not even realize it. The future will arrive one way or another. Read Full Review

    The Power Fantasy #2 continues to keep you locked into the story with it's extremely compelling characters. Each one is so different from the other but they really do have the dynamic of a family. I really enjoy how well Kieron Gillen is able to absolutely nail the character building at the same time as world building, and still everything feels so fluid and well put together. I'm looking forward to continuing to follow this run as it's been an exciting ride so far. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Sep 17, 2024

    The Power Fantasy#2 continues to deal with super-powered people in a purposeful and thought-provoking way. These characters aren't blasting holes through walls but talking, yet the tension is greater than most fight comics. The Power Fantasy manages to handle superpowers in an accessible, pulpy way, making you think while not detracting from the gravity of the material. Read Full Review
