Runaways, Vol. 8: Dead End Kids by Joss Whedon

2.0

I hate Joss Whedon. He ruins everything he touches. This plot didn't make any sense, it ignored the storyline that happened before it. It introduced new characters that were meaningless and had so much going on I had no idea what was happening. All the time travel (done incorrectly) and the different gangs with vaguely offensive names didn't help. The Runaways that Brian K. Vaughan created would NEVER work for the Kingpin. Victor wouldn't cheat on Nico and the girls wouldn't call another girl a hoe, like they did in this story. Joss proclaims to be a feminist, when this story has a vixen/siren character where her only appeal is her sex power, the girls attacking each other over who they're sleeping with and name calling/slut-shaming, and child abuse from the past with a child married to an older man. I hate this. Joss Whedon can suck my big toe.
