Do you ever wake up and realize that life is just not going your way.... You were taking a nice nap, frozen in the ice, and then you get yanked back into the real world... Yeah, I just got back from vacation, and I realized that I had not prepped this synopsis. And that just makes me cranky. Kinda like this. Ya see, when the Fantastic Four vacation, they do not mess around. They pack everything. And they have to, I mean, how else can they show their powers. Power Pack just packs Jack. Ok, time

This week, we are pleased to present a fantastic interview with Marc Sumerak. This gentleman has an amazing list of writing credits, but we are only really interested in his work on Power Pack.

Our first full length Patreon Episode. And all thanks to the lovely people who donated to us. Thank you so much for your help, assistance, and patience. We will try to upload one of these a month, in between our regular programming. These Patreon episodes will focus on the all ages mini-series that started showing up in 2005. They are a lot of fun, but different than the regular continuity, and so we have changed some of the format. In this alternate universe setting, we find slightly older Power

I hate to tell you guys…..but we've got one more issue with the Beyonder. And he doesn’t even have the decency to drive around his friend's dad’s Ferrari or go to an art museum. But, we also get two Thor’s…. Which is only fitting because it is a Thor book. Walt Simonson invites over Power Pack to play in his sandbox as Thor and Beta Ray Bill battle the Beyonder for all of the hammers.

Good news and bad news time kids. The good news is that we have another excellent edition of our (soon to be) award winning podcast. The bad news is that this is a Secret Wars II tie in episode. The other good news is that the comic is still really really good despite being tied to an inferior product. The other bad news is that The Beyonder makes an appearance and something really bad happens to a member of the Power family. The other other good news is that the cover is done by Walt Simonson……
