If a power fantasy proves something with its run, it means that in this world, the battle has not won a victory. Questions #9 and #10 reaffirmed it for the readers and now #11 is raising interest. This time they never promised that they wouldn’t kill them. I won’t say it anymore, but it seems that all of the Cold Wars have been hot all along.
Power Fantasy #11 begins with a handy guide that Etienne can influence with the power of his mind. The three categories reveal who is completely controlled, who can read or simply speak. It’s a handy guide and a great reminder when entering a story where a kind of robbery takes place. It is Dev and Eliza who lead this “robbery”, which is a very high interest and with target assassination in mind, you will be on the edge of your seat for most issues.
The sequential story begins in Melbourne in 1999. Etienne enjoys coffee in the empty soccer arena where Valentina meets him as a birthday present. The supermarket convenes will be held soon, but before they do so, Story will be cut down three days ago, with Dev and Valentina convened.
Everything is fine…Is that so?

This issue is well plotted, and plans are grasped during the scene three days ago in 1999, and eventually hatched. The dark visuals by Caspar wijngaard in the past often juxtaposed with brightly lit soccer stadiums. We don’t know what will happen with the 1999 Heroes, but we do and build delicious levels of expectations. All tensions build well in shocking, yet satisfying moments. If you enjoy this series and fell, now might be the right time to jump in as soon as you return.
When it comes to cliffhangers, readers don’t take a break from tension. You can imagine things going to get really bad in the future.
My only complaint is that the conversation between Dev and Valentina can feel a bit slow and boring. Maybe it’s because they have nothing to do and it’s drawn in close-up shots from the middle.
The art continues to be impressive, with Wijngaard’s color choices and textures added to the mood and tone. The splatters and white stripes in the developer/Valentina scene are eye-catching like punk rock. Meanwhile, the soccer stadium scene is warmly colored, with fewer ongoing and more space. The double page splash shocker is excellent, so Wijngaard for drawing X-Men books became pine.
Power Fantasy #11 offers a tense, closely-built chapter that greatly increases the series’ stakes, combining Caspar Wijngaard’s stunning visual contrast with high-wire plots. Even with some slow conversation beats, the payoff is worth it.
