The Power Fantasy #9 earns its Eisner-nominated reputation with a tightly crafted, emotionally resonant installment that juggles multiple characters and timelines without losing sight of the larger philosophical questions at its core. It's a visually stunning, narratively ambitious chapter that sets the stage for what promises to be a climactic reckoning. Read Full Review

Kieron Gillen continues to build these lives and personalities of the characters, that give so much depth to the story. The characters keep you locked into the comic, and leave you wanting to know more by the last page. Read Full Review
The Power Fantasy continues to be really, really captivating as it moves through its eighth issue. Its a very sharp and clever progression from some of the more genius super-powered dramas of the past few decades. Its been great fun seeing it emerge even if it hasnt always been totally coherent or all that interested in letting the reader-in on the intricacies of the world its presenting to the page. So its kind of weird, but it continues to be a lot of fun. Read Full Review
This is likely my fault rather than Gillen's but Etienne is the only character whose power set I feel like I understand. This may be a series that will be much more enjoyable when it's collected in an omnibus.
