2.331 (696) Power Pack vol 1 #23 ... #Marvel ... @Marvelcomics

[This review is made on 23rd Nov 2017

SPOILER ALERT ... NOT!

The Snarks are back!

Yes, the villains from the Pack's origin arc is back and it is only to be expected and the reason is logical. They are lizard like aliens who depend on technology and weaponry to wage war and conquer lands/ planets/ other races. Along the way they met the horse aliens called Kymaellians. The horse aliens are gifted with super power but all these while the Snarks thought the gifts are part of the Ky's DNA

When in the first origin tale the powers transferred from one Ky to 4 humans and each inherit a different ability, the Snarks wanted to know if it can be transferred to them safely. Hence their current journey to planet Earth and as the cover clearly tells all, they mean business

So one fine day, from out of the skies came the aliens and the Pack was caught unawares of their return. There is a mad scramble but if you have ever read comics, you just know that this is a tale that will not end well, not at this stage of the series as it is 23 just 1 issue shy of the usual anniversary and 25th special. Hence this is a build up issue and for such an issue, there is certainly a lot going on with scenes of charming domesticity to the ambush by the Snark and some of the Pack's capture

So this is a good jumping on point as well for what is to come

For those not aware, the Power Pack are 4 earth children named Alex/ Julie/ Jack/ Katie Power (yes their surname hahahaha) And they obtained their special powers from aliens. Later on in this series we see baby Franklin joining them when his powers were in "dream" stages ... Franklin of the Fantastic Four, that is! Alex has power over gravity, Julie can fly fast, Jack can shift his body mass and Katie can power up into glow baby and shoot bolts of energy

Ratings: 6/10
