Power Pack: The Powers That Be by Ryan North, Ryan North, Nico Leon

adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

I've been revisiting 1980s "Power Pack" from my childhood in 3 collected editions (see my other reviews) in the lead-up to reading this revival graphic novel from 2020.

It's a very different beast - irreverent where it was once sincere, but with a similar underlying sense of fun. It's written by Ryan North, so that's to be expected (in the best possible way).

While it sadly doesn't go too deeply into exploring childhood issues (which is what Power Pack was perfectly designed for) I guess it's conversely nice to see they have grown to be more self confident, less anxious, with more banter and less bicker.

Slight but fun.
