Welcome to our slightly revamped format as we start to review some guest appearances in comics with our Power Pack members. That is right, we are doing full issue recaps of issues with our favorite kids. That means we are starting with Runaways.
So who are the Runaways? Well, they are the children of fine, upstanding citizens of our society who live happy lives with their wonderful parents. It is a story of a happy and kind group of children who strive to create a wonderful….ok….you know that I am lying.
They are really a group of children whose parents were super-villains. When they discovered this, they….get this….ran away. At this point, they each found out about their own special, happy fun time gifts. Does that sound like fun?
These kids are on their own, kicking rears, and taking names. They are making choices that are pretty special. Now that they are on their own, they are establishing their own mission statement. Save other children from other evil parents. Well, this should be fun.
But why are we talking about this? Sure, we like kids with superpowers, but why choose this book to cover? I have one word, Excelsior! That is right, Stan Lee…..wait….what…..?
No…not Stan Lee. The name is in honor of the man, but it is also the name of a support group of former child super-heroes. They meet to talk and support each other in their attempt at healing the damage done by wearing capes and tights when they were younger.
And one of those children who is part of this group is our favorite flier with a rainbow, Julie Power. She is hanging out in LA because she wants to be an actress, and she is networking. Sounds good…I guess. But what else should we know?
Oh, and don’t do drugs.

Not a problem. I always try to respond to anyone that writes to us, so I am glad to respond to you. Glad we can keep you company while you draw. I am curious about the comic that you are working on and also impressed that that is a thing that you do. Would love to see what you are working on if you are willing to share.
