Marvel to Celebrate Power Pack’s 40th Anniversary

Marvel announced that it will be celebrating Power Pack’s 40th anniversary with a special limited series from original co-creators, Louise Simonson and June Brigman! Power Pack: Into the Storm will be a five-part retro series bringing fans back to the timeline of the original run,

The debut issue will release January 24, 2024, but Marvel shared more on what fans can expect from this new story:

Up against factions of the Snark, the Brood, and more, it’s a mission with enormous stakes that threatens the very stability of the cosmos. Luckily, Power Pack never fights alone! Fondly remembered for their exciting team-ups with Marvel’s most legendary heroes, the series will also feature Power Pack’s most loyal companion, Franklin Richards, as well as their frequent allies, the Uncanny X-Men!

"It's funny how easy it is to slip back into Power Pack!" Simonson shared. "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," she continued. "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."

"I always love playing with the kids," Brigman added. "I hope everyone enjoys reading this great story as much as I loved drawing it!"
