I understand that you may be planning a Power Pack reunion, and I have a request to make of you. Jack Power was my number one favorite character in the Marvel Universe. I am not altogether happy with what Mark Sumerak has done with him. When Louise was writing, Jack could be grumpy and cocky, but he just was not as big a jerk as Mark makes him out to be. I would really appreciate it if you could find something more original to do with Jack than turn him into the bad apple of the bunch. Stereotypes might be okay for a book aimed at young readers, but a mainstream book deserves to be more complex.
I would also really love it if you could give Jack a real super-power! Turning into a cloud is okay for a little kid, but a young adult needs something with a little more muscle. Jack was a little kid when he got his powers. It stands to reason that his abilites would develop and grow as he matured. And I would also like to point out that Jack was usually the fastest thinker under pressure. (Remember how he K.O.ed Arclight in the Mutant Massacre?)
I also think it important to recognize that not all of the Pack would see (as Julie does) their powers as something that was done to them. Some of them might even see it as the best thing that ever happened to them.
One last thing. There was a Power Pack mini a few years ago in which Katie was suddenly a genius. I always thought that was dumb. Would you consider ignoring this?
I have enjoyed your portrayal of Julie in Loners so far. Take care.
