Episode 158 Avengers Academy #32: What the Heart Wants - Part 1

April 21, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 81.3 MB

Here we are at Part 1 of a two-parter focused on Juston and his Sentinel. A boy and his bot. A man and his machine. A guy and his Gundon. A kid and his kit. Well, you get the idea, right? This is a love story, or an indictment against capitalism. Either one of those things. So let's talk big robots. We know them and we love them, and we want to destroy monsters with them. What is your favorite? I don't care, I am going to tell you about my favorites. I love Voltron. C'mon, five lions that...

April 07, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 65 MB

Final part of the Protective Services arc. This is the issue where we are finally brought the big old fight that we have been promised. That's right, the biggest slobber knocker, big show, extravaganza that will shake the trees and roll the stones. Yee Haw Cowboy. Speaking of which, do you remember back on June 23, 1996, there was a King of the Ring tournament. Before the match, Jake "The Snake" Roberts was proselytizing in the locker room. But, at the end of the match, Stone Cold Steve Aus...

Episode 156 Avengers Academy #30 - Protective Services - Part2

March 24, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 87.4 MB

It is part two of this little three parter, and that can mean a number of things. It could be Empire Strikes Back or Godfather Part 2. Or it could be Temple of Doom.....or even Showgirls 2. Or it could be worse. This is not any of those. This is s solid book with a series of fights and the possibility of manslaughter. So, enjoy.   Let's start off by talking about the big guy....the god on the team. Hercules...the lion of Olympus. He is the puncher of the team. He is the bruiser. He should ...

Episode 155 Avengers Academy #29 - Protective Services - Part 1

March 10, 2024 16:15 - 1 hour - 84.5 MB

It is time for a three part storyline, part of the AvX crossover. Are you ready for this? No really...Are you ready? Because if you are looking at us to provide you with some context or guidance, you have forgotten that we are a Power Pack podcast. We have a few points that we want to hit here, and first we should emphasize that this series is awesome. I mean, if for no other reason than a guy with metal skin states so as he is surfing on land. But that is neither here nor there. Actually,...

Episode 154 Avengers Academy #28 - Homecoming - Part2

February 25, 2024 19:20 - 1 hour - 78.8 MB

Part two of the Avengers Academy and the Runaways. We left on a cliffhanger where betrayal was afoot, and they were in a dinosaur dimension. What will happen? What will occur? Will Rick decide that he should somehow talk about something completely different. So last night I was in a local poker tournament. This was the final game between our club and one from across town. We had the top nine winners from both clubs playing for a little bit of money, and a whole lot of bragging rights. Gues...

Episode 153 Avengers Academy #27 - Homecoming - Part 1

February 11, 2024 20:45 - 1 hour - 81.5 MB

Hey, guess what. The Runaways are back! And it is Super Bowl Sunday! Let's see what happens when I try to explain this comic book and what we talk about with just references to Super Bowls Greatest moments. First, let's talk about the Apple in the room. That's right, the giant sentinel helping to guard the Avengers compound from riff-raff like that Runaways. Not unlike a sledgehammer wielding woman, breaking down the barriers....or wait...Are the Runaways the ones with the hammer? Not unl...

Episode 152 Avengers: Solo #1-5: Extra Credit

January 28, 2024 21:39 - 1 hour - 86 MB

Let's take a tiny backtrack to a backup story in Avengers: Solo and see how Finesse and Striker handle a little test created by Giant Man and Tygra. How is Power Pack involved...? Good question. Listen to the episode to find out.  First of all, let's define Solo. Solo does not mean that you have a partner or are in a smaller team from you original group. Which makes me always wonder about Han Solo. I mean, he is never really SOLO. And when he is, he get's stuck in carbonite or killed. He i...

Episode 151 Avengers Academy #26: Career Day

January 14, 2024 21:11 - 1 hour - 86.6 MB

Let's talk about a book full of talking. It is a talking book and we are talking people. So, what are we going to talk about here? I don't know. Probably something to do with the pictures we are showing which will make no sense if you are looking at this text on the episode. Why would you pull someone's hair like Quicksilver does. It is rude and annoying and he should be slapped for doing it. What an absolute punk. I do not care that he was potentially saving Avengers IP from being taken. ...

Episode 150 Avengers Academy #25: Class Reunion

December 31, 2023 21:28 - 1 hour - 86.8 MB

You can listen to the episode by clicking: Episode 150 Can you believe we made it to 150 episodes! Nope...neither can I...or we....or us....Whatever. Anyway, since this issue is called Class Reunion, I thought we should revisit some of the things we have said in the past. Recently, we covered FF#1, The Club on episode 125, and we said this: And new colleges and friends and places to go. It must be pretty cool to get to go to such wonderful locations and kick booty with new peeps….especial...

Episode 149 Avengers Academy #24: Family

December 17, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 86.2 MB

Sometimes, you have to turn on your friends. After years of friendship and partnership and other kinds of ships, you just have to tell your friend, enough is enough. Sometimes you may be paid to do it, sometimes you have just grown tired of them, and sometimes it is because you have a new knife and you want to see how well it fits in that guys back. With that said....let me tell you about Jeff. We need to talk about his breath first. You may not know this, but today's high-tech microphones...

Well Jeff might, he did visit their when he was much younger and had 100% less children than he does n...

Episode 147.666 Amazing Adventures V2 #16:  ...And the Juggernaut Will Get You... If You Don’t Watch Out!

November 23, 2023 16:20 - 1 hour - 99 MB

It is that time of the year again, but it is not, cause it is Thanksgiving...cause SOMEONE got us lost on the way to the Rutland Vermont Halloween Party. Still, we know why we are all here this year....again. It is all because of Mephisto and his evil ways. So, what madness are we subjected to this year? According to Wikipedia: Rutland is the only city in and the seat of the county of the same name in Vermont, United States. As of the 2020 census, the city had a total population of 15,807....

Episode 147 Avengers Academy #22: Disappointments

November 19, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 102 MB

Do you want to meet your idols? Do you want to meet your terrorist idols? Do you want to meet your terrorist idol while they show up at their son's workplace, a son who also happens to be training you? Well, then do we have a book for you to read! So why should you read this book? Well first, it is a book, so it exists for you to read. That is its purpose, its function. If you do not read it, then it has failed. But I have digressed into a philosophical tangent that nobody got time for on ...

Episode 146 Avengers Academy #21: Welcome, Students

November 05, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 98 MB

If you are going to open a new educational institution, and you want it to compete, especially against those insane California schools, you have to make some choices. You also have to show you are willing to do it all to get the best of the best. First, let's talk about your campus. Do you have all of the amenities that your students want and or need. Do you have nice buildings and cool sporting spaces? Do you have a view of the ocean? If you cannot provide your students with a killer vist...

Episode 144 FF #16: One Step Beyond

October 08, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 88.9 MB

The clean-up phase. After any project, there is usually a mess. This is true from everything, be it home remodeling or battling giant space gods. People have done something in the place where you live any you have to clean it up. The first step in cleaning thing up is to make sure everyone is done messing things up. No sense starting to clean while the Thing is still breaking bar stools. But after that, you need to make sure you keep everyone focused on their jobs. You do not need their he...

Episode 143 Fantastic Four #604: Forever: Part 5

September 24, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 80.7 MB

Culmination: the highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time. That is what we are talking about today. And because I waited till the last minute to type up this page, and it is comic con weekend, the other definition we will use her is procrastination: the action of delaying or postponing something. Creepy: causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease. Weird: suggesting something supernatural; uncanny. Demanding: making others work hard or meet hi...

Episode 141 FF #14: 27 Minutes

August 27, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 81.5 MB

I like to do a variety of gimmicks on these pages, especially since I run out of ideas on what to talk about. So, for this one, I am going to give myself 27 minutes to write content for this page. After 27 minutes, I am going to stop....cold. This is actually a good idea since I waited till the night before to put this together. So here it goes. Ok...all of the pictures are loaded and it is 9:41PM. I am going to write until exactly 10:07PM. Hopefully I did my math right. It was a long day ...

Episode 140 FF #13: The Bridge

August 13, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 88.9 MB

Let's talk about bridges. Being based in Portland, Jeff and Rick see them a lot. To give you an idea, there is a bridge pedal that occurs in the city and you can travel over nine different bridges over the Willamette river...and that is not all of them. We are talking 23 miles of biking awesomeness. Rick has a special love for three types of bridges. The Ribbon Flotation Bridge, the Bailey Bridge, and the MGB Bridge. He learned to construct these bridges when he was in the Army. It was neat...

June 18, 2023 16:06 - 1 hour - 75.8 MB

Part two of our two part dive into this two clawed lady where she is teamed with the FF, who are made up of two pairs of heroes. This is just too exciting. So I am sitting here, attempting to write up some words to describe the pictures and general story of this book, but I am also watching A Clockwork Orange. So, my question to you, my dear reader, is how much will the movie reflect what I am writing. Laura and her friends are out one night, looking for some fun, causing mischief and may...

June 04, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 80.6 MB

What has six claws, a painful past, and a crop top? No, not Britney Spears carrying a six pack of White Claw....it is X-23! And what does she have to do with Power Pack......not too much, but here we are. So how did we come to this moment? We are supposed to be a Power Pack podcast, but we had been steadily rocking the Fantastic Four vibe. Why are we caring about the stabby girl with knife hands? Well, it is for the kids. OK, maybe it is not really for the kids. Let's face it, there is so...

Episode 134 Amazing Spider-Man V1 #666: Spider-Island - Prologue: The One and Only

May 21, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 90.8 MB

It is Spidey time!!! We have a costumed crusader, we have an island, and we have a LOT of spiders....They are everywhere. So let's take some time and talk about spider stuff. The Spider Flip is apparently part of a course redesign in an American Ninja Warrior show. It was an obstacle that was used, but was incredibly tough. They should have had Agent Venom do it. Boom. All done. Spider Kick is a gym that emphasizes health And well being. They use martial arts philosophy and training to ac...

Episode 133 FF #5: ...The Sound of War

May 07, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 89.8 MB

We are in the party zone now. We have a bunch of Reeds and a bunch of villains and a bunch of kids.....and don't forget the mistakes and regrets. What else can POSSIBLY go wrong. First of all, we probably should talk about underestimating the problem. You make plans and you estimate the size of the opposition and then you head out to fight. Now, what could be the worse that can happen during this step...well, bad intelligence and low balling the threat. You can end up out there all alone. ...

Episode 132 FF #4: The Beating of Drums...

So Reed has a big plan that he has developed with his less than trustworthy father, his over-intelligent and under-age daughter, and his mortal enemy. And he has invited his teams evilest villains into his house. What could possibly go wrong? Let us talk about all of the things that go wrong. The first thing is food. You always think you have enough food in the house before guests arrive, and then you realize that you forgot to make head-cheese. It is even worse when villains are involved....

Episode 131 FF #3: Whatever happened to all those Reeds?

April 09, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MB

  Reed is reed...in a world of Reeds, you should probably not be a Reed, but maybe be Reed. If you know Reed, you know Reed....ya know? But I may be just talking a bunch of Reed, who knows? Reed is an American-style pale lager, part of Belgian company RE edRIch. Introduced in 1876 by Nathaniel, Reed has become a large selling beer company in the United States. Reed (from Arabic: al-kīmiyā; from Ancient Greek: χυμεία, khumeía) is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and...

March 26, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MB

Dr. Doom is hosting a field trip to Latveria, and Rick is going to be posting this from Korea. So lets see if we can't get global with our particular brand of nonsense. According to Wikipedia, the national alcoholic drink of Germany is beer. German beer consumption per person stands at 110 liters (24 imp gal; 29 US gal) in 2013 and remains among the highest in the world. German beer purity regulations date back to the 16th century. Wine has become popular in many parts of the country, espe...

Class...class....it is time for you all to pay attention. Now, I know you all were expecting Rick to be writing this post relating to this comic book...podcast...thing, but he could not be bothered to do that. So, I am here in his place. According to these notes, you were supposed to be discussing how to engage in battle. I would be shocked to discover that you were all this advanced. Doubt that you have the knowledge or experience to deal with this much sophistication, but I will try to im...

February 26, 2023 16:16 - 1 hour - 47.3 MB

We are back with more pirates, more sinister, more foundation, but less Beastie. Hope you stick around anyway, because we do have almost an inappropriate placed tattoo. We are going to talk movies this time. I am not really sure who reads these, so it kind of does not matter if it has to be about the book. If you want to hear about listen to the episode. For now, I am going to look at the pictures we chose and talk about the movies they remind me of and if I have showed them to my daughter...

Episode 127 Amazing Spider-Man #659: Fantastic Voyage, Part I

February 12, 2023 17:43 - 1 hour - 47.8 MB

Don't you wish you could go back in time and experience something for the first time. That you could now what it was like to feel the terror of aliens attacking when War of the Worlds was playing. That you could watch the crackling image of a man walking on the moon. That you could laugh at the insanity of Groundhogs Day....Yeah....this book and run would have been fun to experience first hand. Well, hindsight is 20/20, or something like that. We cannot go back in time, or relive things. W...

Episode 122 Fantastic Four #586: World-Eater

December 04, 2022 23:06 - 1 hour - 44.8 MB

Can we talk about about robots please....Are we pro or anti sentient machines sent to kill us. Or are we just hoping that they will help us in case our home is attacked by something worse. I am going to go with the later in order to sleep better at night. According to Wikipedia, an Infestation is "the state of being invaded or overrun by pests or parasites. It can also refer to the actual organisms living on or within a host. I bring this up because we will be looking at three different in...

  You can listen to the episode by clicking: Episode 121   In honor of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, we are bringing you this special issue of Fantastic Four with Namor on the cover. It has nothing to do with random chance and luck that we just happened to have this cover out at the same time as that movie. Completely planned......yup.     Can we be real for a moment here? Let's be honest about the Fantastic Four. On the whole, their stories hit a plateau a while ago. But like the Fa...

Happy Halloween!!!! Would you believe that Mephisto showed up again? Unfortunately we were all way too lazy to provide him with any sport this year.

This episode features our favorite toe-headed kid, his best friend, and a guy made of fire, invading a toy store owned by a guy with a bow tie and featuring an alien who pops. In honor of that, I would like to review some of the excellent offerings in this years Amazon Holiday Kids Gift Book: Share the Adventure. I was surprised to get a toy catalog in the mail this year. It moved me back to my childhood at the same time as shocking me to see something so analog in the digital age. But my ...

Episode 116 New Warriors Annual #1 & Wolverine #37

September 11, 2022 15:11 - 1 hour - 59 MB

Two stories for the price of one! Why are we doing this? Because we can do ever we want! We are not playing by your strict rules dealing with time and space! So let's bounce into it. Let me tell you what I like about comic book conventions. At con's, people can and are allowed to let their freak flag fly. And they do. And people can find all that makes there heart sing. And they can dress themselves with as many spikey bits as they want. Sure, at times you will see someone in a creepy cos...

It is time to do the hawk....do the Darkhawk that is! You know what it is like, you want to do a dance but your only partner has a ruby stuck in his chest. We have all been there. So this is what it is like to read a Darkhawk-centric issue in the 2000's. A lot of fire, a bit of brimstone, and some serious close-ups. This is just a lot of a lot. Of course people say that about us too. Chris has a bit going on in his life, and for the most part, it is good. Loving mother and brothers, a goo...

July 31, 2022 14:09 - 1 hour - 51.3 MB
