I'm intrigued. I'm also reminded that I need to go back and finish reading the original Runaways.

I love this series So. Much! Yes, it’s Marvel. Yes, it’s the brilliant Brian K. Vaughan characters you remember. But it’s also just a Rainbow Rowell book, with all the heart and angst and kissing that get you right in the teenaged feels the way all of her books do. Because nobody ever really outgrows those teenage feels, right? We just bury them under other layers as we grow. Anybody who tells you otherwise has fed themselves a line.

My favorite installment so far of this series. With Rainbow Rowell at the helm, everything is funnier, angstier, and the plot is more satisfying. I love how victor was reintroduced.

Finally picking up this series and I liked this first volume! Kris Anka's art is great, as expected, and I'm liking the build-up. We'll have to wait to see what the greater shape of the story is to really judge it, but this is a good set-up volume.

I love the Runaways characters, and I particularly love how they’re conceptualized in this revamp. This volume does an awesome job covering how the characters are handling their respective traumas and emotions, how their lives have changed, and how they’re trying to cope. It brings the characters together in a way that feels natural and lays groundwork for future stories, not sacrificing characterization for flashy plot moments. That being said, it does mean that not a ton happens in this volume, but I’m looking forward to seeing more of the characters and the story as it progresses. Overall just a fun story that’s a bit different from a lot of the Marvel comics out there.
