Now...I know what you are thinking. You are sitting there, reading about this podcast, and wondering if you left your stove on. I do not want you to worry about this, so I will assure you that I have no idea. But in order to distract you even further, we are going to discuss not one, not two, not four...but three....THREE issues. That's a lot of reading! With so many pages, comes so many characters. One could even say, there are so many characters, that they are falling out of the sky! Get

Greetings from the Pack-Men (trademark pending....yeah right)! We are back with another tale of four kids with powers doing that New York thing.....wait a minute, my esteemed partner in chat has just thrown a wadded up piece of paper at my head....oh...yeah....right. I meant to say FIVE kids with powers doing that New York thing. And we ain't talking about Franklin Power! But what is this New York thing that I am talking about? Honestly, being from the west coast, I have no idea, and it just sounded

You can listen to the episode by clicking: Episode 46. An issue featuring Jon Bogdanove's first crack at writing the kids and the plot line of Franklin Richards as one of the infamous 12!!!! Man, we are going to need some help on this one! We need Matt Matt Lazorwitz from WMQ Comics! I was sitting around cleaning the bathroom the other day, thinking about how awesome this issue was, and it occurred to me that this really is a game changer for this series. This was the first issue that Jon Bogdonav,

Back before crossovers got out of control, there were simpler and more contained Summer events, such as Fall of the Mutants. Luckily for us, but unlucky for the Power kids, Louise Simonson was writing Power Pack and X-Factor. So guess who gets to play with the adults for an issue! So what are we talking about here? Well, some yahoo named Apocalypse decided to drive into New York for the evening with some of his buddies.....you know, the Four Horseman. And when they drive in, they drive in in

Put down that picket sign and make sure you grab an air horn, 'cause Hub from Titan up the Defense is in DA HOUSE!!!! You read that correctly dear listener! In our ever growing quest to invite all of the Portland area comic book pod-casters to Rick's house to spill beer on the carpet, we have managed to capture another one! And if these sentences smell funny to you, that is because we are reviewing a strange little tale. Guest staring... Madcap?!?! So I am assuming that you have never heard about

Do you know what one of my favorite mini-series was? The Fallen Angels from the 1980's. And, it seems appropriate that we are releasing this episodes which features the wrap up of Sunspot and Warlock's adventures with that group. Ya see, they are kinda on their way home, and they meet up with Power Pack and wackiness ensues. What kind of wackiness, and how much wackiness......? Well, if we were to tell you that, then you would not listen to the show. And you know you want to listen to it. I

Would you believe, we covered another comic, one that just guest stars Power Pack?...And we are not just goofing on Elvis..... OK, Andy Kaufman allusions aside....let's talk about this inconsequential little Giant-Sized book. I say that because it really does not further any Power Pack story-line...or any real story-line about Franklin Richards. It does not really affect X-Factor, or is at least never referred back to, to my knowledge. So why are we covering this. Why, to make you cry! Well...Why

Remember last year when Mephisto took over our podcasts......well guess what....He is back!! And this time, Slim Hadey is not messing around! This time he wants to attack us in our dreams. So, he threw us into the Sandman books, and he sent us Sean from the Secret Wars and Beyond podcast to "suffer". He also cursed us with bad audio problems. What a jerk. No really...that was his master plan. Corrupt us through quality. I really do not think he is playing with a full deck. It is like he is just

As we crack (see what I did there) into this final episode of the Power Pack Crack Saga, we realized we needed help. So, we called a doctor! We are pleased to have Dr. Osvaldo Oyola from The Middle Spaces website. And boy are we glad he is on hand to untangle this comic with us. This is it, the final issue of the Crack Saga. Alex and his family have finally made it to the top of this food chain. And the powerful pints are powered up on pancakes and ready to to be pugilistic. So we have pancakes,

All the way from the deep dark stories of cosmic Marvel, we are proud to welcome Al Sedano from the Resurrections- An Adam Warlock and Thanos Podcast. And we welcome him to this weeks edition of the adventures of Furious Boy. He hates drugs, he is a teenager, and he has super powers. Oh Boy....What trouble can he get into now! Short answer....a lot. But luckily he has brought along his family for back up....right....right? Okay, wait a minute. I am getting confused. Isn't Alex supposed to be on a

Why through his new bestest (and possibly only) friend Johnny Rival and his gang. What a nice group of boys. I would like to tell you that this is a sunny tale, full of rainbows and unicorns, but there is not one equine looking creature around, and even the rainbow quota is low..which is impressive since one

IT'S A-LIVE!! Live.....LIVE?....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! Yup, we did a live show! It was in front of a small audience of friends at Champoeg State Park, in the middle of a 4 day, semi-annual camping trip we go on. The theme was Sci-Fi/Aliens. We felt that this fit. It was really wonderful to do this in front of a group of friends. And it was very special to have my daughter join us "on stage"...even though she thought it would be very scary. She did great. But what could we possibly be talking about

We had the opportunity to talk about a number of topics including Weezie's inspiration for the crack story-line in Power Pack, June's awesome work on Captain Ginger and the changing world of the comics marketplace.

Tim, a serial podcast listener, fried chicken eater, and commentator, has been a long time Power Pack fan and a great supporter of our show. He flew in and asked us really nicely if he could cover this episode with us....that should have been a sign. What to say about this issue...well, first of all, most of what you need to

Instead of returning home, they have gone to the Avengers Mansion. Why you might ask, 'cause Franklin is sad and wants his parents.

We have the most awesome and excellent Miles on our show…..because it is about time we did! Ok...to be fair, that may not have worked as well as I wanted it to. Moving on, don’t look back!

And is a good thing too. I mean, the Power Parents are worried, Cloak and Dagger are getting all fidgity…..and the Fantastic Four even noticed….I mean, look, they left a note! There is not much action in this comic, but that is ok. Instead, we have some really good character beats and moments, and a scene where Jack

We have Jakal brimming with power, Katie brimming with defeat, Maraud brimming with overconfidence and Bhadsha brimming with poison. There is just a lot of brimming going on around here...and we do not like it... OK, we like Katie brimming with power, but not Jakal. We actually like a lot n this book. This is a fantastic issue

I would like to apologize for the low energy in this episode. Rick was not feeling well, so we can just blame it on him. And it is a shame too, because this is a pretty good issue. Sure, it starts off in a dark cave with Katie drowning in a pool of water, and the other Power kids are still captured, and Franklin runs away from home, and Kofi is shot at…… Hang on…..this sounds horrible! Why would anyone do this to a bunch of kids! I thought this was supposed to be a happy, silly, kids book!?!? What
