Runaways Forum

It's one of those books I never looked at monthly, just picked up the little paperback volumes. I stopped shortly after Victor came on the scene, for no other reason except time restraints, and I stopped working at the library I was getting them from. For what I read, especially the first volume, were pretty cool.

and the way you described it, with the warm tinglies, is spot on. that's how I felt when the first arc was over. That, and a little bit of sadness. Weird, huh?

The reason we like Runaways so much: Jailbait!

Just kidding.

Anyway, it is a fine comicbook. And Vaughan is quickly becoming one of my favorite writters, though I need to read more of him. I liked what he did in UXM.

Well, Vaughan is doing a heck of a job. I'm not sure if anyone could replace him... But considering Joss Whedon has a thing for overpowered teenage girls, this might be just the job for him.

I think that Runaways is the best team book in the Marvel U right now. Vaughan does a great job at dialog, and that's what makes the book so good. They might not be the most original characters, they may not fight the coolest villains, but at the end of the day you love all of them and wait for their next adventure.

The book is in good hands once Whedon takes over. Just look at Astonishing X-Men for proof that he can write a superhero team book

As for the original points the first poster brought up, here's my opinion

1) Yes, I agree. A Nico/Karolina romance would not only be very hot :), but it would also probably complicate the team dynamic, which would be a good thing. Nico's the leader, and if she started playing favorites with Karolina, who knows what would happen?

Vaughan did use Xavin as a cop-out, and the whole Skrull shape-shifting thing allowed him to make a lesbian character without her actually being a lesbian. I think Xavin has gotten better in the past few issues, but his/her presence is somewhat unneeded

2.) I can't agree with you on the Victor point. Although he's not the most interesting character, I think he has a lot more long-term implications for the team.

I absolutely love this series! I've been collecting the comics for awhile now, and I recently got the Hardcover Vol.1 for Christmas (No one's touching it but me! Haha). So far I think the series is going pretty well. It's definately a great fresh series for Marvel to have. I'm looking for to seeing how things are going to turn out after Joss Whedon takes over, which I believe is in issue 23 that's coming out in the next week or so.

Hey he lent it to me this weekend too! I also thought it rocked. I also read his copy of Ex Machina and thought it was excellent.

This has to be one of the best comics I have read in awhile, the art fits perfectly and the mix of characters is cool, Chase is the bomb (wont spoil it for anyone) but Gret wow and Nico is far to messed up and best of all little Molly wow wow.

This comic has it all and later Molly sucker punches the Punisher one of the best things I have seen, Best teen team since the titans.

It's definitely a great book, which a tasty mix of humor, action and spunk. Nico is my favorite, but all the characters (except maybe Xavin) are very well-developped and add something to the team. I only read Runaways in TPBs, though, so I still haven't read the new Whedon issues, but I certainly hope he did well.

For anyone who isn't reading this.... well, do! You won't regret it!

Am finally up to date with Runaways now. i had time to read them for a while but forgot i had them. but i read 24 issues yesterday. My favourite character was and is Chase, i thought it would change but it never. glad the writer kept him to be a laid back character, who helps his friends in a drop of a hat or frog thinking of the machine. am gutted that the team has now left and went on to other projects but this will get them into good stuff now. BUT the colourist is still there which am glad because she is amazing.

I love the scene after that, when wolverine walks back in as cap falls on his face, "I wont tell anyone if you dont" Classic

I agree with you. I still can't believe that they killed off gert. I also don't like this new arc. I heard that they are getting a new character this arc. Is it true? I f it is then they will probably add the rose girl from the new arc because Karolina seems very interested in talking to her

I generally like the book but the current story isn't blowing me away.

Posted 1 year, 1 month ago

I've only read bits and pieces; but I do like it a lot. The characters and all are amazing.
