[Micah Reese · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is different from other Power Pack digest (such as the X-Men twam up) as it has an overarching story over the 4 parts. The story revolves around the new friendship between Jack Powers and Franklin Richards and the trouble they get into. It's up to the rest of the power Pack and the Fantatic Four to come to the rescue in their times of need. I only gave this four stars as I felt the Fantastic Four was not in the story enough and would have liked to see the Power Pack fighting alongside and being mentored by the Four. Other than that, it is another soild installment in the 2000s Power Pack run.

I wanted more Power Pack and less Fantastic Four.
