Episode 222 Power Pack Vol 1 #63: "Rarely Pure and Never Simple"
Episode 229
Sunday, 4 October, 2026
We have done it. After over 8 years, we have finally covered the entirety of the Power Pack series. Issues 1 to 63. Look at us, we are big boys now. Admit it, you did not think we would do it. You did not think we would get here. You thought that we would flake out or get so far offline that we would not get here...but here we are. Now that we are here, we should talk about this issue. And maybe we will. We don't know. Much like our protagonist, we may act like a disaffected teenage girl. You can't tell us what to do. First off, all, this is all written in the past, probably early in the morning before the author has metabolized his coffee. Deal with it. Good new, we can tell you that we see all of the Pack. All of the kids show up, and three-fourths of them are mostly themselves. Sure, it is a flashback to simpler times when bedrooms were shared, but it is a new story, a continuation of a plot, and fun little romp. So, let's talk about the possession in the room. I do not think a Jesuit priest or some Georgetown steps are going to help our boy Alex here. In fact, nine out of ten doctors all ran screaming from exam rooms when confronted with similar patients. The tenth was eaten. I will tell you one person who does not want to deal with possession problems; the possessed Alex. And can you blame him. New body, crushed soul, so many people to abuse or kill. Why would he want to give that up. Mayhem and chaos, baby!!! Some people like chaos, confusion and conflagration. They like the pretty lights and the shiny toys. They like to roast in the fire of their madness and bake in the sunshine of terror. That is the way they roll. Speaking of which, destruction and devastation are great D words. The descriptions of the demolishment of the downtown scene is delicious. I have lost the thread. I guess I want to say that Alex is on his own journey of self-discovery. It is good to express your devilish persona whenever you can. Bazinga my friend, bazinga. And now we shall continue to provide you all with more Power Pack content.
