Power Pack #3

• The Power Pack is in over their heads (metaphorically) as their powers are (literally) about to start misbehaving and shutting down!
• Only they don't know that yet, which is what's known to STUFFY OLD LITERATURE PROFESSORS as "dramatic irony" and known to everyone else as "oh dang, that's some exciting and suspenseful comic soliciting!" Sophocles used it! Shakespeare used it! Now it is our turn to experience dramatic irony.
• As if that weren't enough, the Power Pack faces ANOTHER threat they never saw coming, delivered to them by special guest...TASKMASTER!

Feb 10, 2021Power Pack #3 has a few things working for it, like Julie's narration and the family dynamic. Unfortunately these elements don't feel fitting for this series and everything else in the issue is disappointing. Read Full Review

This issue was a bit wordy, but that's Ryan North's writing in general. This was good though.

Julie frets through a "too good to be true" day now that working for Agent Aether is part of the Pack's routine. Sure enough, the other shoe slams down when the kids' superpowers desert them during a fight with guest-villain Taskmaster. (Excellent new streamlined Taskmaster design in the art; his voice in the script, though, ouch.) It's a smooth, fun read. The plot is awfully slow and simple. Fun as it is to dive deep in the Powers's thoughts, I think this series might be too introspective. I'm conflicted about the two panels that show Julie's thoughts drifting to her girlfriend. I like that they're there (I like it A LOT). But I think the risk of confusing people who haven't read Future Foundation (2019) #5 (and there are a LOT of them) more

This story is an amazing argument in favor of Kamala Law. 4 complete fools just threw themselves in front of a criminal who literally shot at them with bo regard for their lives. So irresponsible. The issue was fun until that point. Unfortunate.
