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

3.0

This volume does not pick up where the last left off. Instead, the Runaways are in NYC trying to make a deal with Kingpin. He requests a job from them, which leads to tech that their parents had made, which leads to them going back in time. They find themselves in 1907 New York City and in the midst of a turf war between various groups of special powered people from that time period. They also find themselves up against Gert's parents. Will they make it back to their own time? Will they all make it alive? And what of their new friends they made in the past?

Man, there was a lot of plot shoved into this one volume, and while it's interesting, it gets convoluted at points. Nevermind that's there is a severe jump in continuity from the end of the last volume. If it had been a stand-alone series & fleshed out a little bit so that it was less jumpy, it might have been better.
