Louise Simonson and June Brigman reunite for POWER PACK 40th anniversary miniseries

Back in 1984, author Louise Simonson and artist June Brigman launched the Power Pack, a superhero group consisting of 4 younger siblings, with the debut of their ongoing collection. The title lasted 62 points and the characters have develop into fan favorites, showing in varied corners of the Marvel Universe over time. In celebration of the group’s 40th anniversary, Marvel has introduced that Simonson and Brigman are reuniting for Power Pack: Into the Storm, a brand new 5-issue miniseries this January. No further members of the artistic group had been talked about within the press launch, although inker and frequent Brigman collaborator Roy Richardson and colorist Matt Wilson‘s signatures seem on the duvet included with the announcement.

Here’s how Marvel describes the miniseries:

This five-issue retro collection takes readers again to Simonson and Brigman’s unique run, a beloved period when Power Pack had been Marvel’s A-List group of child tremendous heroes! Although they had been mere kids, their powers made them courageous past their years and the threats they confronted had been removed from infantile! This new collection will seize that very same spirit because the group faces a cosmic risk tied to certainly one of their fiercest foes. Up towards factions of the Snark, the Brood, and extra, it’s a mission with monumental stakes that threatens the very stability of the cosmos. Luckily, Power Pack by no means fights alone! Fondly remembered for their thrilling team-ups with Marvel’s most legendary heroes, the collection may even function Power Pack’s most loyal companion, Franklin Richards, in addition to their frequent allies, the Uncanny X-Men!

Alex, Julie, Jack and Katie Power are tremendous hero siblings decided to do their half to guard the world regardless of their younger age. The downside is that their mother and father don’t need them to have powers — and can’t discover out that they do! But when their good friend Franklin Richards has a premonition of a galactic risk hurtling their approach, the Power siblings must resolve what sort of heroes they wish to be — and what they’re keen to surrender alongside the best way!

Simonson expressed nice pleasure about returning to put in writing the Power siblings:

“It’s funny how easy it is to slip back into Power Pack! This story explores the looming question: Should Power Pack tell their parents about their powers? I loved hinting at Franklin’s nascent abilities, one blocked by his parents, but too powerful for even them to contain completely. Loved introducing a couple of Snark princesses–good and tragic– and delving a bit deeper into Snark culture. And I loved writing Alex, Julie, Jack, and Katie one more time. The X-Man Storm, who shares this adventure, also added to the fun. And, of course, June Brigman’s art is evocative and lovely.”

Brigman added.

“I always love playing with the kids.I hope everyone enjoys reading this great story as much as I loved drawing it!”
