I'm a big fan of Power Pack, both old and new!<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure (from interviews, etc) that the new Power Pack (and X-Men/Power Pack) limited series is meant to be out of continuity, which might ease some of your continuity concerns that you expressed in your write up (Guest stars in current costumes, etc). <BR/><BR/>But even though some of the events in this new series may not directly reflect or refer to the original Power Pack series, I think the writer of the new series does a real good job of staying true to the characters and the overall vibe of the Power Pack we all remember and love. <BR/><BR/>To be honest, I'm kinda glad they did it this way. It's still true to the characters I care about, but it starts fresh for the new generation of readers it's aimed at. (After all, what 8-year-old wants to search for obscure back issues from 12 years before they were born?)<BR/><BR/>I love the original continuity, but I'll take my Pack however I can get it... and this version is the best in a long time! I hope it sticks around! <BR/><BR/>*Steve*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-1130515422948834542005-10-28T11:03:00.000-05:002005-10-28T11:03:00.000-05:00That's an excellent article in which you're discus...That's an excellent article in which you're discussing PP.<BR/><BR/>And excellent points you're made in regards to the original series' continuity. And as for both the Newest Minis {including the X-MEN/POWER PACK}; Mr. Sumerak made it clear that those Mini were intended to be a part of the MARVEL AGE/ADVENTURES {even though I do understand your confusion with the other MU Heroes in their "current" costumes within the Minis (as was the case with the F4 appearance in PP [Vol II..??] #3's Issue).<BR/><BR/>Also, thank you for mentioning both the 2000 PP Mini {in which I still believe that they did a fine job on showing the Pack's most recent status within the MU, as well as for Julie's/Lightspeed's recent appearance within RUNAWAYS [#1-#6 AKA TRUE BELIEVERS Storyarc, in which should be/already is out as the Fourth Digest]<BR/><BR/>And speaking of Runaways {and if you're a regular subscriber of WIZARD}; I hope you had a chance to get WIZARD #169, in which their BOOK OF THE MONTH's Focus is on said series, with a sidebar on Julie & her teammates in EXCELSIOR {as well as on the other of BKV'S Favorites... ;o)}......<BR/><BR/>And good points you've made in regards to your suggestions about Mr. Sumerak & having the PP as an Ongoing {again}.....<BR/><BR/>As for the PP's Minis Artwork {by Gurihiru }; at least is 10x {no make that 100x} better than the current Artwork for the NEW WARRRIORS Mini...!! :oP<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for letting the readers know about your opinions for both the Original PP & Sumerak's PP.....<BR/><BR/><BR/>PaxHouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
