  The title of the series continues to make clever reference to the stuffy, old criticism of superhero fiction: that its all escapist male power fantasy. I remember thinking about how bizarre that was as a kid. I grew-up on Marvel comics in the 1980s. These people DO have great power, but they are suffering like you would NOT believe. With The Power Fantasy, Gillen takes that danger of power dynamic to the absolute extreme with gods who are born as humans who are reacting to everything the way that Earthbound gods WOULD. Its horror. Above all its horror. And thats something that begins to feel all the more overwhelming with every issue. Read Full Review
