Page 45 Review by Stephen

"Declarations of war are for the Victorians."

Cerebral superpowers, essentially. *strokes chin*

Continent-scale nuclear brinksmanship and poker games between those possessing the personal strike capacity of an entire country's atomic arsenal.

Conversational dexterity is the order of the day, with some cracking reveals, and art whose sudden storms are rendered all the more arresting by their preceding false-sense-of-security lulls.

From the writer of THE WICKED + THE DIVINE and DIE.

The publisher writes:

"Superpowered.' You have certain preconceptions. They're incorrect. Here, that word has a specific technical definition. Namely, 'any individual with the destructive capacity of the nuclear arsenal of the U.S.A.' There are six such people on Earth. The planet's survival relies on them never coming into conflict. Come dance to the ticking of the doomsday clock with Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard in the first collection of this new, critically adored, sell-out epic. Collects The Power Fantasy #1-5".
