I think this is about as great a Power Pack reunion as we could expect...Ryan North's sense of humor is an awesome fit for these characters (Julie's comment about the unusually thorough news broadcast made me LOL for real). While there are a few things I'd have changed (eg: I really miss June Brigman's unique designs for the kids' power effects, they're so generically drawn these days) it was overall a fun first issue!

I just handwaved the parents not knowing about their powers and Alex being so much older as that wacky Kymellian brainwashing thing they brought up in the final issues of the original series. It was an awful plot device, but it does let writers get away with just writing the story they want without too much convoluted backstory.
