Power Pack: Grow Up! #1

Power Pack: Grow Up! #1 reunites the original creative team of Louise Simonson and June Brigman (with inks by Roy Richardson) for what promises to be a heartfelt return to Marvel's beloved kid-hero siblings. The cover shows two older-looking Pack members leaping forward in their checkered costumes, flanked by ghostly impressions of a glowing energy form and a blue-swirled face behind them — suggesting the weight of youth and powers past — while Wolverine and a small figure in yellow-and-black charge alongside them below, all facing a swarm of menacing winged insectoid creatures. It's a wonderfully layered image that balances nostalgia with real stakes, and "Growing Pains!" sounds like exactly the kind of story these characters deserve in 2019.
