The Power is YOURS

Okay, so I warned you this would be later. We left home just after eight and got home around 00:30 - after a roughly ten hour trip. But I got to spend the day with my mum and dad, moaning and whinning and generally being treated like a spoiled little kid and talking about stupid stuff.

So once again, you get treated to a bit of Powerpack fanart.

Yesterday I went on about Gurihiru's art work and how much I love it but I don't think I got to truly espouse the awesomness of I think it's Mark Sumerak writing style.

I first came across powerpack when looking into the back history of Franklin Richards (as mentioned yesterday). And I picked up, without hesitation, Sumerak's 'Franklin Richards - Son of a Genius' one shots.

They're a lot of fun (if you live in Canberra and haven't read them, you can borrow mine if you promise to give them back) and thats what Sumerak does well, fun. He rights fun comic books, and I know they're called 'all age comic books' and thats probably enough to turn you off them (it's enough to make me too embaressed to buy some comics at times), but there's nothing wrong with a bit of lighthearted fun. Powepack and Franklin: SOG is good for that.

I loved in one of the SOG's (I think it was the summer special?) Franklin was all panicky because a class mate was coming over for a project and he wasn't happy. It turned out it was a little girl called Katie with blonde piggy-tails. It was never said that she was powerpack Katie but it was obvious she was, and it was a nice little nod at comic cannon.

I think they're a super-cute couple from what I've read (all though I love the AOA? Franklin and Rachel coupling so much I think I might burst)

Anyway, I'm tired and I'm rambling, so I'll end now.

There was something important I wanted to say, but it can wait until later today.

On a random note, we went to a tavern for lunch today (had a hamburger that wasn't really a hamburger but some exotic sandwich with a meatpattie on it). It had an outdoor family section with this really awesome play equipment, but set up in all these little cranny's about the place were playstation2's and gamecubes. I had a geekgasim on the spot. Seriously, if I had kids, I'd take them there so they could keem me amused for a few house. The few games I saw were 'Pokemon Colosseum', 'Harry Potter, Goblet of fire' 'Generic Football Game #36' :D, "Jack and Dax' and a few other cool titles that have fled my mind in this sleep needing state.

Then we went to the Harvey Norman for a half hour or so while waiting for my Dad and we found Guitar Hero 2 set up, so I rocked out to a few sets (on medium - I'm still learning the way of the frets) and then my mum rocked out to a few songs on easy. She really enjoys Guitar Hero which is nice to see, she hasn't really enjoyed a game since 'Robotnicks Mean Bean Machine'

Yeah, thats me, that's Nat, geeking it up around Australia.

Signing off until next time,
