And here I thought they were getting together to re-record their lost single "It's Not Evil, Bein' Green". Disappointment abounds.

[cainofdreaming]

They can't do that without Kermit, now can they?

Love the page with Wyatt and Johnny.

There's an odd rhythm to the speech patterns with the sort of minimalist replies to questions, which sound oddly mechanical rather than natural.

[shadowpsykie]

....it's hard not to notice Wyatt's bike in that forty panel..

[icon_uk]

Ummm.... his what in where?

[shadowpsykie]

Um heh... When I WANT it to I won't post sexual comments.... I meant his CROTCH.... In the FOURTH panel.

[cainofdreaming]

And here I was sure this was going to end with an invisible bike sketch.

What about that thing (in this issue) where Darla was wearing only a towel, in public, looking up at Antman who held her face, thumb touching lips, for entire three panels. I thought I was suddenly in fanfic-dimension.

[auggie18]

Huh. Like the shout-out to Shulkie and Wyatt's old relationship there.

Also, Alex Power continues to be awesome.

[dewinged]

I agree. Is there any more stuff about Alex?

[ex_cherrybomb869]

Back in the 80s, Alex and his siblings were part of a superhero team called Power Pack. It is surprisingly AWESOME for a kids comic (at least until around the Inferno crossover, but then everything started to suck after Inferno). Power Pack usually focused on fun aliens and superhero battles, but occasionally dealt with some heavy themes, like drug use and bullies. Also, everybody guest starred in Power Pack and when I say everybody, I mean EVERYBODY.

Now, there's an all-ages Power Pack series (not officially part of Marvel 616), which is a bunch of miniseries where Power Pack teams up with superheroes and it is adorable.

As for Alex himself, I know he was in the New Warriors for a bit in the 1990s, but I never read that so I don't know that much about it. Most of Power Pack hasn't been in that much from their old series to now, with the exception of Julie.

[dewinged]

Oh, I know all that. I'm a fan since the original series. I meant were they any more scenes/scans about him from the current issue? :)

[sinisterlink]

I love how Medusa's hair is pointing at them in the last panel.

[leoboiko]

I gotta say, even if I didn't like the story, I'd read this just for how happily comicbooky the art is.

[ex_cherrybomb869]

So if Alex is 19, then that makes Julie 17 (though possibly 18, as she was confirmed to be 17 during the Loners miniseries), Jack is 14 and Katie is 12.

I also love Old-Johnny's ridiculous Cable leg.

[silverhammerman]

That reminds me, we're seeing Alex Power in this, and Julie Power was over in Avenger's Academy for a bit before it got cancelled, but what's going on with Jack and Katie? Have they appeared in the mainstream Marvel U recently?

[long_silence]

I think Jack and Katie had a guest appearance in FF for Franklin's birthday

And then the whole pack reunited for one issue of FF during that War of Four Cities thing. Of course Julie looked 12 there.

[chieflewal]

Julie's legal in my state now...

Sadly, Jack is legal in Arkansas.

" The Trio of the Terrible, GO! "

[violetclm.livejournal.com]

Ohshi, it's Wyatt! I just kinda subconsciously assumed he was dead or something, I hadn't heard about him in so long!

[chieflewal]

Yeah if he's been on staff this whole time... I'mmmm gonna say he's been slacking off.

[jlroberson]

THE GREEN AND PURPLE LEAGUE STRIKES AGAIN.

[featheredserpent]

Lex Luthor, the Joker, and the Riddler approve.

[chieflewal]

Doom may be arrogant enough to think that he could remain in control while binded to an other-dimensional being and a time-traveling conquerer, but I think he's also smart enough to know better... it seems like a lazily crafted alternate future.

[donnblake]

I don't know. Maybe it's just because Johnny has more experience with Doom than the other two, but I think it's telling that he didn't say "No other word for it- except Annihilation" or "Except Conquest."

[pyrrhocorax]

Why is the child next to Medusa in the second panel looking so evilly gleeful to hear of the Fantastic Four's deaths?
