I thought that, given that this is labeled Vol 1 and is the start of Rainbow Rowell’s writing for Runways, this would be a good place to jump back into the series. I was wrong - most of the content was referencing events from the previous run that I hadn’t read and the whole collection just felt like background/setup with very little original story. But I’m guessing it would be much more enjoyable read in sequence with the other previous comics.

I don't think its fair to give this a rating. I didn't know anything about Runaways going into this and I don't know anything about these characters or their history or their relationships with each other.
That said, I'm interested enough to read the originals!

La verdad es que se nota bastante el cambio a Los primeros cómics que leí , pero debo decir que Rainbow Rowell hace un buen trabajo , me gusta que este primer volumen sea algo como una reunión de todos los personajes que ya conocía , aunque debo decir que si no has leído los anteriores no podrás adentrarte del todo en esta historia , me quede un poco sorprendida por el inicio, y ya estoy deseando leer lo que siga.

I loved almost everything about Find Your Way Home. But it's got Rowell at the helm. Can't be objective. Liked the writing and I liked the art, too.
I haven't read any previous Runaways titles, but I have seen two seasons of the show on Hulu, so I had enough knowledge to follow most of the story. I don't think anything in this volume was ground-breaking, and it felt like it was almost all set-up for the rest of the series, but I enjoyed it enough that I started reading the second volume as soon as I was done with the first.

Rainbow Rowell revived the Runaways and made them better than they have been in a long time! I can’t wait to keep reading!!

Great re-introduction to this story. I enjoyed the summing up of old storylines (especially as I never finished the original run, shhh) but I am looking to the plot moving forward a bit more. Liked most of the art, except some of the facial expressions.

The visual dissonance between my mental image of the Runaways and their new designs is a) not a negative per se, just weird, and b) more than made up for by Rowell's excellent treatment of the characters. It's clear with every frame that this is a writer who loves her subjects dearly, and the book hearkens back to the Runaways I know and love. I read volumes 1 and 2 back to back, so I'll leave the rest of my review on the page for volume 2.

Read as individual issues.
The band is back together. I'm a huge fan of the original BKV series, Rainbow Rowell and the art of Kris Anka, so this book was a dream come true.
This is a great introductory arc. Each character is introduced with their own stakes woven into a final issue with the characters reunited and battling an unexpected enemy. A fun book.
Great character work, wonderful humor and heartbreaking moments.
If you've enjoyed Rowell's prior work or the original BKV series, you should read this book.
