Victor being an absolute superhero super nerd is my favorite.
Another great installment. It was fun seeing the group become a super hero team.
I really like Rainbow Rowell's Runaways. The stories are fun and the art is great. Can't wait for more.
This run of the Runaways is my first foray into the world of comic books. Mostly because I have yet to read anything by Rainbow Rowell that I didn't like so I trusted her on this one. And let me tell you, she did not disappoint. The stories are captivating and the illustrations only further add to the storytelling. I hadn't read the first run of Runaways and didn't feel behind or confused in the slightest. If you have or haven't read comic books, please read this run!
My favorite volume of the last 3 I read--seemed like the story was really cohesive throughout and interesting as well, if a little predictable.
Rainbow Rowell's heartfelt Runaways continues here with an unfortunate over-long and heavy-handed plot. It was so on the nose and obvious that it made it less fun than intended. The outcome was perfect but getting there was kind of a slog. The dialogue is still wonderful. I'm incredibly interested in how the next and final volume ends this run. Andres Genolet does some really nice work on the art side especially with the kids' heroic looks. Overall, the obvious drug on and held this back from a higher rating.
This arch was great. I'm so glad that this series came back. This may be my favorite bunch of the new books. A lot more action heavy than Runaways tends to be but it was well done!

This was by far my favorite volume of Runaways from Rainbow Rowell. The story was a lot easier to follow and had a good villain. It was fun to see a new version of the gang, but I’m glad they inevitably found their way back to their core in the end (good job Gert!). Looking forward to the next volume since I feel I’m finally getting a sense of the characters’ personalities and histories having never read/watched anything Runaways-related before
fast-paced
gibby quietly becoming my favorite character. FEED HIM. HE HUNGERS.
if the last volume gradually made me love the characters more this one just reversed all that. How many "the teens are seduced by charismatic adult" storylines are we gonna get until someone (besides Gert) starts asking questions!! Alex idc if you're evil at this point the group needs your discerning eye. wait no shit you were going to kill Gibby. Stay away!!
