2008-03-14 13:55:14

KATIE: Fa la la la la la la la la la la

NATE: Katie.

KATIE: la be la la la la la

NATE: Katie.

KATIE: bum bee la be fa lum be lum lum

NATE: Jordan, get Katie.

JORDAN: Hm. Er, ok… ahem. “Say, Nate. What would you say is the best thing about ponies?”

KATIE: Gah!
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

JORDAN: DAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEE!

NATE: Katie!

KATIE: Guh-guh-guh…

NATE: Why’d you zap Jordan THIS time?

KATIE: He said “ponies.”
My Pony-Sense started tingling.

NATE: Ah.
Katie, I wanted you to talk to Jim Nausedas. He does Marketing stuff for Marvel.
Hey Jim!

JIM: Why does it smell like burnt hair and bologna in here?

NATE: Katie zapped Jordan again.
Jordan, you ok?

JORDAN: Nghuuuuuhn…

NATE: He’s fine.

JIM: This is worse than the time that raccoon got caught in the copier.

NATE: I’m gonna leave you and Katie to chat.

JIM: Hey Katie, looking at our upcoming announcements, I see you and the rest of Power Pack have a new series called SKRULLS VS. POWER PACK coming up. Is this going to be a Secret Invasion tie-in?

KATIE: What’s a Invasion?

JIM: I'll take that as this is not a Secret Invasion tie-in.
Well, pretty soon you and the rest of Power Pack are going to have to take on the Skrulls, a group of shape-changing aliens that can take the identity of anybody...your mom...your brother Jack...even a pony.

KATIE: Aliens are pretending to be ponies?

JIM: Well, they pretended to be cows once, so why not ponies?

KATIE: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I dunno.
Hey, wanna hear a joke?

JIM: Sure.

KATIE: Ok. Say knock-knock.

JIM: Knock, knock.

KATIE: Who’s there?

JIM: Jim Nausedas.

KATIE: Jim Nuseediss who?

JIM: Jim Nausedas Jr.

KATIE: I don’t get it.

JIM: Do you know how to tell a knock knock joke, Katie?

KATIE: I guess not.
Hey, what’s the Secret Invasion thingy?

JIM: JIM: It's Marvel's BIG summer crossover where all the Marvel heroes don't know who to trust because anybody could be an alien looking to take over the Earth. There will be explosions, death and suprises courtesty of Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Yu. I just read the first issue and boy, there are about a dozen jaw-dropping moments.

KATIE: I don’t wanna drop my jaw.

JIM: It's a figure of speech. Like when you say something "stinks on ice," there's really no ice involved...or stinking usually. Unless you're talking about the NY Rangers. Then it is literal.

KATIE: Ok, so me and the rest of the Power Pack gotta fight Skrulls? But we don’t gotta be in other books, right?
(I don’t have enough time to be in too many books. I have school.)

JIM: Yup, you'll be fighting Skrulls, but you won't be teaming up with any of other heroes as you have several times in the past. Just you and the rest of Power Pack defending the Earth from ugly green monsters from another planet.

KATIE: That’s easy. My brother Alex is really good at telling me what to zap at, so we’ll win.
Can I go now? Jordan’s really startin’ to smell bad.

JIM: Yeah, it's starting to smell like Nate when he comes into the office after his morning jog.


WHICH	ONE'S	YOUR
FAVORITE?

Katie is in need of some SPIN tech and "which" is my favorite.

"YOUR" is my favorite.

One's is my favorite.

"ONE'S" my fave.... here's a thought for you.

Power Pack Super-Skrull. The classic Super-Skull featured the powers of all four members of the FF. How about a Young Super-Skrull with all the powers of Power Pack???

I'll take
"WHICH"

SPIN Tech
Oh, Nate- SPIN tech is what Tony Stark uses to take away heroes' powers.
