Blech, Alex looks retarded in that picture.

And as for the article, I don't think it matters. Half of it is in jumbled letters anyway. :roll:
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

I think Alex -did- come back to life when Nico used her magic, and somehow he made her forget...

The other guys are probably his friends from before...

But I'd like to point out that there only seems to be five of them...

So I'd say its pretty damn possible that Nico is still loyal to Alex.

Or Alex still wants Nico to join him in the end.

I agree that he is also came back to life, whether or not he is the leader of this Nu Pride remains to be seen. I don't think she forgot, she doesn't know if he's alive, as she hasn't seen him yet.

Agreed.
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

If Alex has returned, perhaps he's like a zombie - hence the 'no reveal'.

Princess Powerful!!! :rockon:


Yeah...the next issue seems to be pretty good. But aren't they all? :D




Chase is my favorite because he doesn't have any real powers....he just makes due with what he has....and that's called badassness. [/fanboy] :lol:

The ring on the cover of the previous page is the Deans' decoder ring that Alex used to unravel the Abstract (from Vol 1). Hence why one of Karolina's parent was featured in the foreground of the picture next to Alex. Nevertheless, I do think this is one of the ugliest covers I've ever seen... other than the April!Victor one.

Anyway, not EVERY black kid in the Runaways is Alex Wilder. What? Is there only one Afro-American in the whole Marvel universe? When the cover of #8 came out, with Karolina blasting a black adversary, everyone screamed "ALEX!", but it wasn't (of course). So, I do think BKV has something bigger up his sleeve - or he'd better have. I'd hate to think him as predictable.

You're right. The black kid is not Alex because this is a perfect oppurtunity for Marvel to fill it's quota of african american characters. I love that reasoning. "It can't be Alex because we need more black characters." lame.

Speaking of which, there's a new arc beginning with issue #14. It's a great jumping on point as the Runaways arch nemesis The Pride return as well as a character returning from the dead!

For all of you doubters, For ****'s sake, deal with it. And go ahead and add, "Joe Q. might be pulling a fast one on us. :roll:

Welcome back Alex. Glad to see your return.

Thank GOD. Someone finally agrees with me! I've said it before and I'll say it again. While this could still be Alex, there is something extremely fishy in hiding this fellows face, when all of fandom not only suspects, but apparently 'knows' who it is. What would be the point of the eventual reveal? We all know already who it is, so the moment when Alex shows his face will lose a lot of the drama and tension that it would have otherwise had. I would expect it from other writers, but Vaughan has proven himself to be an accomplished writer, beyond insulting our intelligence with all too obvious teases and an anti-climactic reveal. You think Vaughan didn't know we'd immediately jump to the conclusion of Alex?

You have a ridiculous habit of putting words in peoples mouths. You know that's not what she said. Do you actually read other peoples posts or do just pick up on a couple words and decide for yourself what they said?

Yeeaaaaah. Because Joe Q has never ever ever purposely mislead or even blatantly lied to us in the past. It's called marketing MWoF.

Hi. I don't believe we've met. You can call me Ice.

Though I'm with MWF saying it's Alex returning, I won't ballistic like he does. :wink:

So welcome to UC!

I was gonna apologize but then I looked over what was said again.

She's not the only one who thinks so. On everyboard people are saying more black characters. We need more African Americans. Personally, it's an insult. I don't think there's "only one black character" in Marvel. I didn't think the guy getting blasted by Karolina was by any means Alex.

Yeah, because fanboys across the net never take anything Joe Q. says and twists it for their own purposes.

Oh, and welcome Anya. My bark is worse than my bite.

I didn't say that did I? Once again, putting words in others' mouths to suit your own argument.

And what? Have double bluffs officially been made illegal in the land of MWoF?

That makes absolutely no sense. Anya said that just because this mystery character is black, doesn't automatically make it Alex. While I realise there are more factors than that (connections to a new Pride; hatred of the Runaways etc), I agree with her.

And did Anya personally make an attack on you about thinking there was 'only one black character'? The world doesn't revolve around you.

I do not attack specific members Fuzzy. Stop making this one on one. I said the Natasha thing because it's another example, a big one, where people simply aren't satisfied with simple revealations but have to take things so far off road just to make things seem like they'd be upgraded and better.

Yeah, and no one said that we want it to be Alex for the reason that we saw a "black" kid. Which is what she thinks is the only reason we're pulling for Alex.

You have a issue with me or something? I'm not defending myself. I'm defending my perspective. And I'm doing so by attacking the anti-Alex claims, not Anya.

YOU SAID THAT JOE Q. MISLEADS PEOPLE AND THE OTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THAT IS THAT PEOPLE WANT HIM TO BE MISLEADING WHEN HE IS REALLY NOT. IT'S LIKE CRYING WOLF. MARVEL SAYS SOMETHING MISLEADING ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. MOST OF THE TIME IF THERE'S SOMETHING BIG COMING, THEY JUST KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT ABOUT IT. BUT SINCE THEY DO OCCASIONALLY SAY SOMETHING MISLEADING, PEOPLE THINK THAT'S THEIR SCHTICK.

Is there anyone who is not clear of what I'm on about now?

One on one? Ha. I'm not making things 'one on one'. This is an internet message board for christ's sake, not a personal vendetta.

And I'm completely satisfied with simple revelations. There's nothing worse than a drawn out, overly confusing mess of a plot twist. What I'm talking about is something completely different, to do with Vaughans presentation of said twist.

That's not the way I read it. Suppose only she knows what she meant though, so let's both leave that one.

I'm in love with you and living in denial.


But seriously, I hold no vendettas on this board. Life's far too short to be so pathetic.

Attacking? Good god man, this is just a friendly debate.

Ah right, now that you put it in capitals it makes much more sense. I said that Joe Q has been known to mislead, not that he does it on a regular basis. He's simply marketing the product, which often consists of misleading and gentle manipulation. Besides which, going back to the original text, couldn't this revival just be a member of the Pride? Seems fitting seeing as the arc concerns them (or their namesake).

Now let's put the capitals away and have a hug.
