Mobius if they are to have any chance of setting things straight. Now Alex, Jack and little sis Katie have to enter the creepy mansion of Dr. Soon the object begins taking its toll on the Power's kids with an ominous storm overhead, and the phantom of Dr. There Jack and his friends are soon startled and leave, but not before Jack picks up a medallion lying on the floor. A typical day at school soon finds Jack accepting a challenge to go into the abandoned spooky mansion of former circus owner Dr. They each subtly use their powers to get by, but not with the approval of their parents who wish for the children to act normal enough so as to not attract undue attention. Alex still needs to find his science book for class, Jack loses his retainer down the drain, Julie's room is a mess, and the youngest Katie just wants to be invited to play with the neighborhood kids. "The Power's kids have been given superhuman abilities, but that doesn't necessarily mean that adjusting to a new home will be any easier. But hey, we can agree on this next fact I'm sure, at least it's not Catwoman from 2004. It would air infrequently on the Fox Kids network during their off season, but for the most part became one of many hidden "gems" that Marvel would probably like to forget about. Various changes were made from the original source material, such as some details about their powers, the fact that their parents know they have powers and they don't wear costumes. It starred such actors and actresses as Nathaniel Moreau, Margot Finley, Bradley Machry, Jacelyn Holmes, Jonathan Whittaker and Cheryl Wilson. It was distributed by New World Pictures who owned most Marvel related properties at the time, yet the pilot was also developed by the Paragon Entertainment Corporation and of course Marvel Entertainment. The television pilot was made for the Fox Kids network, and it first aired September 28, 1991. Till next time… nope, not saying it.Power Pack is a 1991 television pilot directed by Rick Bennett, based on the comic book series of the same name that was created by Louise Simonson and June Brigman in August of 1984 for Marvel comics. Boy howdy! So when you do a special podcast episode covering that issue, I can be on the show for that, right? Right? … Please? (only a freaking 50-year-old man crying about a 35-year-old comic book and it’s awesome creators STOP IT!)Īs for PP: Grow Up, yes I also was just smiling reading it. This time, they both say it, and I’m seriously breaking out the hanky! What the freak?! I really can’t explain it! It triggers something beyond just fandom. June’s first interview, she says “Costumes off!”, and I start tearing up. I’ve heard of the mayo version, and probably eaten it without realizing. I truly hope I’ll get to make Macaroni and Cheese for June and Weezie someday! (To dream, the impossible dream) But I’d also like to try June’s recipe. The big news: squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thank you, guys, for letting me join in with my silliness. I wish I had rephrased my question about Jack and Katie, but whatever, there was lots of great discussion. It was such a joy to hear Weezie and June together, sharing their love for this series, characters, and working together. Like Jeff reading PP: Grow Up, I was smiling the whole time listening to this interview. So sit back and enjoy a trip down memory lane! And it was our pleasure to talk to them about this great book.Īnd in this book….Power Pack is back! The feel and the look of this comic is like falling back in time. These two friends and co-workers have worked on many projects together and have nothing but respect for each other. Also, we should warn you that this episode contains heaps of praise, a ton of respect, and an Infinity Stone’s amount of love. If you have not read the comic yet, beware: Of course the majority of conversation was on Power Pack: Grow Up #1. Trust me, listen to the episode, you will want to know the surprises. We also found out a few surprises……and if you want to know what they are, you are going to have to listen to the episode. We had the opportunity to talk about a number of topics including Weezie’s inspiration for the crack story-line in Power Pack, June’s awesome work on Captain Ginger and the changing world of the comics marketplace. ![]() These two wonderful ladies were gracious enough to join us for an extended talk. In celebration of the newest addition to Power Pack cannon, Grow Up #1, we are proud to present our interview with June Brigman and Louise Simonson.
