Hulk and Power Pack #1 Review by (July 20, 2022)

Review: Cute all-ages stories are a lot of fun for those who haven’t lost a sense of joy in the simple stuff. A lot of action too as the fight between Hulk and Creel goes on a lot longer than usual, with large pictures and everything. Cool! And the Mini-Marvels story adds just the right note of absurdity.

Comments: First story: Part one of two parts. Stories set on Earth-5631. Stories take place immediately after SPIDER-MAN AND POWER PACK (2007 series). Colors credited to Naoko Kawano and GurihiruSecond story: Mini-Marvels come from Earth-99062.






 

Synopsis / Summary / Plot

Hulk and Power Pack #1 Synopsis by Peter Silvestro

While three of the Power Pack kids are fighting villains led by Boomerang, Mass Master/Jack is ten blocks away playing a Hulk handheld video game. Lightspeed/Julie, Energizer/Katie, and Zero-G/Alex are dealing with the last one; Alex sends a boomerang flying into the distance where it hits Jack’s game console, damaging it. Angry, Jack joins the others and flattens Boomerang….

Later, the kids take the subway to their dad’s lab where he is unveiling a new discovery in partnership with Bruce Banner. On the train the kids run into Bruce who chats with them and fixes Jack’s console. Then the train is stopped by an angry Absorbing Man so they suit up to battle him; he is not impressed….until he sees the Hulk behind them. A-Man turns to stone and mixes it up with Hulk ; Power Pack intervenes allowing Hulk to smash the baddie’s ball and chain. A-Man turns to steel and Hulk smashes….

As the police take away Absorbing Man, Bruce Banner returns, claiming he was trying to get passengers to safety but the kids have figured out his secret….

“Lo, There Shall Come…a Go-Kart”
Writer: Paul Tobin. Everything else: Chris Giarrusso.
Synopsis: The Power Pack kids want to watch “Hawkeye, M.D.” on television but Hulk would rather see “Clobberin’ Time” so they decide on a go-kart race to decide the matter. The Powers go to Reed Richards for a car but the one he offers is way too high-tech for their needs. Fortunately, Human Torch has an ideal kart, made of wood. The kids fly it back toward home but it falls apart in mid-air. The pieces and the kids crash through the TV studio where they interrupt Thing on his show. Hulk, watching from home, laughs at the calamity.
