The Power Fantasy #17 to launch new arc in December 2026
Kieron Gillen and Casper Wijngaard return for a new story arc at Image Comics, following the series' hiatus after issue #16.
Image Comics will publish The Power Fantasy #17 in December 2026, the opening chapter of the series' next arc, according to screenrant.com. The issue is written by Kieron Gillen with art by Casper Wijngaard.
The synopsis for issue #17 poses a question for the title's cast: after the attempt to avoid conflict among six superpowered beings failed, is taking over the world the only ethical option left?
The first sixteen issues of The Power Fantasy form a complete story. Issue #16, the finale of that run, was released in February 2026 and was followed by a hiatus before the December 2026 return.
Earlier teases for the series
In 2024, ahead of the release of The Power Fantasy #1, Image Comics teased the series with a synopsis about six people on Earth whose survival depends on never coming into conflict.
