Rated T
Power Pack#1 strikes the coveted balance of being completely accessible to new readers while providing enough references to past lore to overjoy even the most seasoned fan. Read Full Review
This book is a blast of fresh air in the face of all the darker event type nonsense that the Big Two seem happy to produce. Power Pack is the sort of book that makes you remember why you got into comics in the first place. Take some time to look at the Marvel Universe through the eyes of the Power kids; you might just be amazed all over again. Read Full Review
Power Pack #1 gets off to a slightly slow start thanks to being very thorough in introducing (or re-introducing) the team to its readers. Make peace with that, though, and you'll also find it thoroughly entertaining. Witty writing and gorgeous art serve to make this a delightful first act. Read Full Review
If you've been following 'Outlawed,' this is a must read. If you haven't been following, this is a must read. Regardless of if you are a child or an adult or one of those man-children that exists only in Judd Apatow movies, this is still a must read. It's cute and cuddly while still packing one hell of a right hook. Read Full Review
Power Pack #1 (Ryan North, Nico Leon, & Rachelle Rosenberg) is a fun return to a fan-favorite team that leaves itself open to new readers. Though labeled as a part of Outlawed and influenced by the events spawning the event, the first issue stands strong on its own. Read Full Review
Power Pack #1 is a fun start to the series. There's a youthful energy about it befitting the characters and it's hard to not smile while reading it. There's so much to love about this first issue and it already has me hoping for more after this run is up. Power Pack #1 is exactly what comics should be, a hell of a lot of fun. Read Full Review
Fun and enjoyable re-introduction to these classic characters! Read Full Review
Power Pack #1 is strong for an introduction to a new series. The characters are easy to understand and like. They have them living a double life that they manage to keep under wraps pretty well. It also sets up for a strong second issue. Read Full Review
Whether you're a longtime fan of the Power Pack, or new to these characters. Power Pack #1 offers a wholesome superhero story which you don't see often enough these days. This is a family back together and one which enjoys the brighter side of saving the day. Read Full Review
While this is intended to be the first part of a limited series, the quality of this issue inspires the hope that we might see more of the Power Pack with this creative team in the future. It's not high art, but it is a fun read and those are rare enough these days to be nurtured. Highly recommended for the young at heart at any age. Read Full Review
POWER PACK #1 is a light and cheery start for the return of the super siblings. Despite Katie's bizarre characterization, the action is fun and the family interactions are amusing. The bright art pulls it all together. POWER PACK #1 is a recommended read. Read Full Review
Are you ready for four bright-faced kids to take on modern fascism? Spoiler: you're not. You really aren't. Read Full Review
Power Pack #1 continues Ryan North's pattern of taking whatever characters he's working with and using them to poke a little fun at not only the characters but the medium as a whole, just would've been nice to see more connection to the bigger event it ties into. Read Full Review
The return of the Power Pack from writer Ryan North and artist Nico Leon makes for a pretty painless debut issue, delivering the thesis of the series and an explainer on the character for newcomers in a fun fashion. Read Full Review
Ryan North and Nico Leon make a strong argument for these characters to have their own adventures, but they haven't yet given them one worth telling. Read Full Review
So cute and funny. Absolutely beautiful as well. Dialogue was a very tropey at times, specially Mass Master's, but it's kind of inevitable.
A thorough introduction to Power Pack precedes their latest adventure, which takes a decided swerve at the last minute. It's a well-drawn and well-written re-introduction, and it does a great job capturing the Powers's youth. It falls just shy of greatness; though: Full enjoyment does require the reader to lean into the "youthful superhero sibling team" premise just a bit. And heavy-duty fans who are already familiar with the Power Pack premise might be a bit bored with the "ground-up" approach.
So cute.
It's a perfectly adequate start, but I was expecting much more from Ryan North and Nico Leon. Hopefully once things get past Outlawed this book will find a voice of its own and something worth saying with it.
This was okay, but nothing special.
