"Asgard Babies," in Thor and the Warriors Four #3, by Alex Zalben (writer), Gurihiru (artists), Dave Sharpe (letterer)

I reviewed this mini-series 3 months ago, so I'm gonna keep this short.

The Power kids, spurred on by the story of Idunn's Golden Apples that Julie reads in a book of Norse myths a convenient nurse so kindly offers, find their way to Asgard to try and save their sick grandmother. It's all a plot by Loki, which almost backfires spectacularly by ending everything, but the Power Pack and Thor save the day.

This was the last of the all-ages Power Pack mini-series Marvel put out, but they wrapped up with a bang. Gurihiru get to draw a bunch of Thor characters as babies and Beta Ray Bill with a magnificent afro. Plus, there's a back-up story running across the four issues of Hercules babysitting the Power kids so the Human Torch can go on a date, written and drawn by Colleen Coover.
