God yes.
Hm. I dunno about Julie, but I could see Jack absorbing Thor power. He'd be a storm cloud, that'd be all right. Julie, I guess, would be super-fast rainbow lightning, which at least sounds like it could've been in a Dio song.

They'd turn Julie into some sort of Bifrost reference. Come on, man!

Bifrost? The rainbow bridge in space that leads to the home of the warrior gods? Yeah, that still sounds like it would fit right into a Dio song.
Shit, Power Pack/Punisher isn't my dream book anymore. Now it's Power Pack/Dio.

Energizer!
You've been gone too long in the six-sixteen!
Oh don't you see what I meeeeeaaaaan?!
Spent some time house-sitting this weekend. And, as it wrapped up a skip week at the store, I figured I would read more random comics from my pile of unread stuff.
Iceman and Angel (one shot):
I am not sure if this is a back-written story or if it is intended to be set in the "Marvel Adventures" timeline. Either way, Angel and Iceman stop an alien attack. Buncha stuff happens, and there is some annoying whimsy.
Grade: C/D
Hulk v/s Fin Fang Foom (one shot):
More or less the same as above, though more clearly set in the 616 timeline and with a more coherent plot. There is also a reprint of an early Fin Fang Foom story, but I skipped that as I had no desire to read actual 60s Marvel after reading two one shots that more or less duped that style.
Grade: C
Marvel Apes #1-4:
Better than one might expect, though that is a low bar to clear. For the most part, this is a "stranger in a strange alternate world" story with some uninspired ape-themed puns tossed in. There are a few chuckle-worthy moments. But, this would have been much better as a one-shot, rather than a 4 issue series. A sequel is hinted at, but I am not sure if it ever happened. Honestly, I am not even interested in hitting wikipedia and finding out.
Grade: C/D

There was a sequel of sorts. It happened in four one-shots with increasingly bad pun names. I think the first one was just "Marvel Apes: Speedball", then you get "Gruntline", "The Prime Eight" and finally "Evil Evoloution", in which a rumble with the Marvel Zombies went down. They were okay, but I liked the original a lot more than the sequels. Honestly, though, I'd take either Marvel Apes story over the first couple of Marvel Zombies stories any day of the week.
