Etienne Lux Is In The Spotlight In ‘The Power Fantasy’ #12

by Olly MacNamee

The Power Fantasy by writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, We Called Them Giants) and artist Caspar Wijngaard (Home Sick Pilots, All Against All) returns next month from Image Comics with an all-new story arc centering around the mysterious Etienne Lux character.

“In The Power Fantasy #12, readers are drawn deeper into the chaos of Etienne Lux’s world—where the stakes are high and the consequences unimaginable. The issue opens with a gripping new development, brought on by the fallout of previous betrayals and power plays, and sets the stage for unpredictable confrontations to come.”

Gillen waxes lyrical about this new narrative:

“This is a book that’s run on tension. Eventually, tension sparks an explosion. The end of the last arc was the match striking, and the the end of history is as big as it sounds. Basically, this is everything I love about ongoing comics, and every month is going to be a hammer blow. It’s a concentrated burst of the reason why people read comics monthly.”

Wijngaard added:

“Excited to be back with our third story arc! The ticking bomb is nearing zero with each issue ramping up the tension in exciting ways as our Atomics brace for an unavoidable fallout.”

The Power Fantasy #12 Cover A by Wijngaard and The Power Fantasy #12 Cover B by Chloe Brailsford will be both be out on Wednesday, October 8th from Image Comics.
