Yes! I love the Power Pack and it warms my heart to know there's still a place for them.

I wish June Brigman would give everybody lessons in how to draw children as children, and not small adults. Still amazing after all these years.

Gumbercules!

Yeah, especially cool how she only half dresses Julie Power. USB it great the outpouring of rage from this blog and it's commenters when an adult character is depicted in adult situations. Or the indignance towards power girl wearing a costume that she feels accentuates her figure, but everyone is okay with a low rider wearing more than midriff showing 15 year old girl...

Where is the outrage over showing a minor with more skin showing than most other female characters in the marvel u???

Also kudos to CA for selling out!!! A paltry pathetic sellout to top cow and the darkness II in some cheap attempt to make money.

And according to many posters here at CA any attempt at selling out to make money should be lambasted, that's what everyone does to larger publishers... Double standard much????

Yay a PP reunion! Now all I have to do to read this stand-alone issue is buy Runaways, Loners, three years of FF, and Avengers Academy.

Won't lie. I've been waiting for the re-edited re-releases of Sailor Moon for a while. And yes, even though I owned the awful Tokyo Pop versions and all of the Japanese ones, and even some Chinese ones, I'm buying each one again.

It's not really a return, since Lightspeed and Alex Power have been around intermittently.
