The Power Fantasy #12 Review | Etienne’s "Resurrection" Changes Everything

Today we’re diving deep into The Power Fantasy #12, written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Caspar Wijngaard, a creative duo who have turned this book into one of the most cerebral, daring, and emotionally charged superhero sagas of the decade.

Across twelve issues, The Power Fantasy has evolved from a slow-burn character drama into a full-blown meditation on power, politics, ego, and empire — a story about what it means to be more than human and still deeply flawed.

In this new arc, “Let There Be Light” the fragile balance within The Atomics shatters. After the shocking events of Issue #11, Etienne’s survival reveals something terrifying — and deeply human — beneath the surface. From flashbacks to 1945 Paris to an underground base in modern-day New York, this issue explores rebirth, identity, and the weaponization of consciousness.

Join me as we break down how Gillen’s writing and Wijngaard’s haunting art bring this world to life — the brain tanks, psychic warfare, and broken alliances that make 'The Power Fantasy' one of Image Comics’ most powerful ongoing titles.

If you’re into intelligent, high concept superhero dramas (X-Men Fans I'm talking to you!!!!) then this one deserves your pull list.
