In a twist of fate, four children gained incredible powers. And in a universe full of war-hungry aliens and terrorizing gangsters, they would need them. Thus Power Pack was born! But when an enemy from the past rears its head again, the youngest Power finds herself in a body-snatching nightmare! Big brother Alex better come around - or Katie is toast!
A never-before-told adventure comes to light as Katie Power revisits family history!
Rated T
A very solid, single, issue that has me wanting more! I hope people pick up this well-crafted book! Read Full Review
Power Pack #63 is a fun trip down memory lane that stands on its own. The Marvel Legacy one-shots are off to a wonderful start. Read Full Review
This was an issue I was really intrigued to read and the results are fun and entertaining. The “voice” captured by Grayson is impressive and the series has me wanting to see more of the team in the future. YA is all the rage now and if played smart, the Power Pack could find a whole new audience and life within that genre. Read Full Review
As a potential catalyst to an ongoing title, Power Pack #63 is a solid issue that is a nice throwback to the original series, but if the team doesn't get an ongoing it will be disappointing to look back at how we didn't get a chance to see the other Power Pack members in the present. This makes Power Pack #63 a bit of a mixed bag, but hopefully this one-shot is just the start to something even greater. Read Full Review
Overall, Power Pack #63 was a fun, if insubstantial, issue. There's not much too it, but for those that crave more adventures with the Powers' kids, then this will be a good one for you. Read Full Review
Katie spins a storytelling assignment at school into a Power Pack tale. It's all in good fun, but there's a definite bittersweet overtone thanks to Alex's current "MIA with the Fantastic Four" status. Also perhaps Devin Grayson's script drills in too deep to the Katie/Alex relationship, shortchanging the team as a whole. It's a good choice to make for the integrity of the story at hand even if it might not satisfy die-hard Power Pack fans. The Rashomon effect used to parallel Katie's memories with her teacher's impressions was notably great.
Disappointing.
I am a big fan of Louise Simonson so I read all the Power Pack stories. I had hoped that this issue would pick up where all the characters left off because I had been a fan of the Powers kids. It does give you a little bit with the revelation of where Alex Powers has been hiding. This is just a recap issue that tells the story of the Powers and some of their more memorable tales. It is told in a creative way, having Katie tell it all in a story that she had written for a collage course. The story is all we get though. There is nothing here to really promise a future for the characters which is disappointing. As hard as it is for me to say, this is a fun issue, but pointless. Even for Power Pack fans this is an issue you can skip. If you are more
