Suggested tags: char: thor/thor odinson/donald blake, char: beta ray bill, group: power pack, creator: alex zalben, creator: gurihiru, publisher: marvel comics.



The Power Pack are on the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard when they meet a mysterious stranger who helps them hide their Midgard origins with enchanted clothes in exchange for a golden apple for his ailing wife.




Koli? Hmmmm.....

The pack gain fame in Asgard as the butt-kickin' Warriors Four. They run into Thor and Bill at a tavern and swap adventures and tales.




Adorable!

They swap adventure stories and the kids tell Thor of their ailing grandmother. Then the pack defeats a Frost Giant and impress Thor with their bravery, he agrees to speak to Odin on their behalf. (The giant threw the fight on the orders of Loki.)

Then...






Baby Bill! Baby Odin! Baby Thor! Let the adventure begin!

Thor is so pretty.

[From: skalja]

Loki is weirdly buff and attractive as well. It kind of worries me.

[From: sherkahn]

He's supposed to be similar in physique to Peter Parker, just taller. With Thor around he looks skinnier than he is.

[From: afghanant.wordpress.com]

Where did you get that Peter Parker reference from?

[From: psychopathicus_rex]

Well, he's SUPPOSED to have a certain odd glamour about him - otherwise, how could he openly call himself 'Loki the Deceiver', and still get people to go along with what he says?

[From: arilou_skiff]

He's supposed to be pretty. Snorri says (IIRC, and I paraphrase) that Loki was "Beautiful, like fire, the gods played with him for a long time but they eventually got burned..."

this must happen.

[From: cainofdreaming]

If Marvel is not putting one out as we speak then their marketing department doesn't deserve its name.

Those things would sell like... things that sell really well.

FOURTHED!

OMG look at the eyes!

[From: darklorelei]

DO WANT.

[From: joasakura]

yessssss... oh so very much YES

[From: autumn_lily]

Baby Bill makes me want to cuddle him so bad. Which might end up being very awkward once he turns back into an adult.

[From: pyrotwilight]

Bill: I say thee NEIGHHHH.

[From: autumn_lily]

::groan::

"Kid Stuff":

Etrigan: Mommy.
Wonder Woman: *scowls, drops him*

[From: autumn_lily]

Ehehheheheheheh.

[From: blake_reitz]

I only just noticed babyOdin's baby ravens!

[From: cmdr_zoom]

FOR PONY!

[From: goggle_kid]

I would buy a monthly Jim Henson's Asgard Babies title.

[From: former_callixte]

OMG! The thought of that is brain breakingly cute! *_*

Did someone say Baby!Thor?

[From: uadlika]

Whenever I think of Thor I think of this awesome webcomic: Brat-Halla

Re: Did someone say Baby!Thor?

[From: grazzt]

Wow, that's amazing. I'll have to dive into the archives.

[From: nagaoka]

This is SO CUTE!


Wait...looking at that last frame there...does that mean Odin was already wearing diapers? I'll just pretend the answer is yes.

[From: tacobob]

He's really really really old.

[From: psychopathicus_rex]

No, but he wasn't wearing an eyepatch, either, and he wasn't naked, despite the fact that, unlike Thor and Bill, his adult clothes are no longer there, and Bill wasn't wearing a baby-sized version of his adult outfit, so I think we'll just have to go with the Rule of Funny here.

[From: mcity]

"I'm a rhinoceroses!"

And now I ded of cute.

"Thor! Quick, tell them a story!"

Beta Ray Bill; hero of Asgard! Able to face armies without quail or faint-heartedness! Discomfited by an eight year-old with pigtails!

[From: silverzeo]

Anyone else felt a TeamFourStar joke with "Can I ride you." bit?

And how come Thor doesn't have clothes to fit him, but baby Odin has a diaper and Bill still has his?

[From: cmdr_zoom]

Because it's funny?

[From: robo_kai]

...Are you a Yoshi?

[From: shale]

I would gladly pay my entire life's savings for the original art of that last page.

[From: neuhallidae]

ITTY BITTY BILL. MUST HAVE.

[From: jkcarrier]

The Pack in Asgardian garb are totally giving me Dungeons & Dragons flashbacks.

[From: polarisnorth]

I love this so hard.

[From: selke]

*giggles* "Thorse."

[From: pyrotwilight]

Throg finds this name scheme hilarious.

[From: psychopathicus_rex]

"PONY!" Heh heh.
Seriously, though, he doesn't even LOOK that much like a horse. If I ever saw a horse with a face like that, I'd run screaming.
And why is the chronal energy, or whatever it is, manifesting around all seven people, but only Bill and the Asgardians are affected? I mean, I know the others are kids already, but none of them are BABIES, and that's what the other three were turned into.

[From: moodring54]

I think the enchantment or whatever is being channeled through the stuff "Koil" gave them, as the green light is coming from specific parts of their disguises.

[From: psychopathicus_rex]

Quite possibly - it doesn't explain why they're not affected, though. You'd think that if they were wearing clothing given to them by the bad guy, his spells (well, the Enchantress's spells, but same diff) would definitely and specifically affect them.

[From: perletwo]

I dunno; Katie phrased it as ineptly as only an eight-year-old can, but it doesn't seem totally out there for her to wonder if Bill and Whitey are the same kind of alien....

[From: digicom]

Technically, Bill should be in his humanoid/noseless form, but as said above, Rule of Funny,

[From: angelophile]

Oh, god, that cover.

[From: goodfellow-puck.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD, this is adorable and gorgeously done. And yes, Thor is looking pretty hot. I never buy Marvel books, but I'm totally adding the Power Pack books these guys have done before to my list--and hopefully this one when it's collected!
