The Power Fantasy

A six-issue miniseries that's a collaboration between IDW and Electronic Arts Comics, spun off from the popular role-playing game series , developed by Bioware. As in the game's mythos, it's a tale of high magic and fantasy focused on the two warring factions of Mages and Templars. Award-winning sci-fi writer Orson Scott Card () co-wrote this series with Aaron Johnston, Mark Robinson, Jason P. Martin did the artwork, and Humberto Ramos did the covers. Robinson and Martin's style are very similar to Ramos' covers, dynamic and expressive with an innate kinetic energy that fuels the writers' frenetic pace. Reading it is very reminiscent of playing a very fast-paced electronic game. All Minutemen scans by the one and only DTs.

An epic urban fantasy from Joe Benitez, the creator of Lady Mechanika!
Demons walk among us, fettered and unseen, but ever struggling to gain a foothold into the material world. A secret brotherhood of warriors guards an arcane power, the Wraithborn, the sole weapon which keeps the creatures at bay.
Valin is the young warrior trained from birth to inherit and safeguard the Wraithborn. But by chance - or possibly treachery - the power is bestowed instead upon Melanie, a shy high school girl with no knowledge of the supernatural. Together, the timid untrained teen and the proud but powerless warrior, must find a way to wield the Wraithborn and save humanity from
enslavement by the demonkind.

"The first piece of Amazing Spider-Man's "Gauntlet" storyline, featuring the return of Spidey's more notorious foes like Rhino and the Lizard, continues this week. This initial arc features Electro, and the presence of a more recognizable villain, coupled with a stellar creative team, results in one of the best issues of this series in some time." That's a quote from IGN editor Bryan Joel's review of issue #613. He immediately notes that one of the things he loves most for this issue is the artwork of Paul Azaceta, as having a palpably Silver Age influence to it. Don't look now but last ish I did mention it as strikingly reminiscent of vintage Jack Kirby with a dash of Steve Ditko going through a dark, moody phase--and I believe my description is the more accurate. Mark Waid also brings a rare credible core to Electro as he imbues this erstwhile two-dimensional villain with heretofore unrealized flesh and character, even as he manages to seamlessly introduce granularity and atmosphere from the very start of his work on the title. IGN gave this issue an "Impressive" 8.3 out of 10 rating. I disagree. You may say I'm biased, but, going by IGN's ratings system, it is at least a "Great" 8.9 for me.
