Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

Ok, I just bought and read the first four volumes of Runaways. And I really like this book a lot. Molly is the best, Chase is the most entertaining dumb*** ever, Vic is cool (although I kinda wish Doom really was his daddy), and I like Karolina and Nico. Gert kind of grates, but Old Lace is cool. I liked that the Pride wasn't just a 2-demensional group of boring evildoers.

I already ordered vol.5.


And that better damn well be Alex with the new Pride.


Molly: Chase! Did you see who we got to beat up tonight? Their costumes were really pretty!
Chase: What did we talk about, Mol? Costumes are gay.

:lol:

You should just go to the comic shop and grab all the issues after Vol4. Otherwise you'll be waiting a while to catch up with the rest of the story.

I used to be a trade only kinda guy......but I found that you're way behind when it comes to discussions.

So now I just buy the issue and when the trade comes out...I toss the single issues.

That's a good idea. I might try it.

Too bad I'm so poor.

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

Meh....less Karolina and more Molly and Victor

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

but you have to admit, that was needed though, it lets you know that Karolina is still part of the group, still part of the story line. what can i say, Karolina was/is my Fav before she left, now....its gott'a be molly though. for some reason this issue is alot like ?#6? where they all give each other names, and the references are all there. (so far at least) and you have victor like alex that just wants to renew his current name.

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

I just read the one with molley and the street rats. I realize now that I've been sleeping on a really good book. I think I'm going to have to get the trades now.

If you liked this one, You'll love the rest. I thought this was one of the weaker issues.

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

Yeah... I agree with TheManWithoutFear. #13 didn't do anything for me.

From the preview pages of #14, the art looks fabulous... although I have NO IDEA who dressed the boys up! Eww.

Love Karolina though. Those first few pages would make the amount I have to pay for my comic worth every cent.

#14

Karolina, in space, says she missed her friends. Her Skrull fiance says he loves her and is going to play "Lucy in the Sky..." at their wedding.

The Runaways are fixing The Leapfrog. Chase is busy making his birthday list (that issue is gonna rock). Nico grounds Molly and accuses her of running away from the last battle. Chase makes an Alex refrence and Nico gets angry. Gert and Victor walk off and Gert tells Victor who Alex was.

about a year earlier

Alex Wilder is playing his online games with his internet pals. They think he's like 40 because he's more mature and takes the games seriously. Good scene showing the players and the characters. It was funny. Alex's parents come in and his dad yells at him to get off.

months later Alex's online friends wonder where he is. One of them tell them what happens. He found out through hacking into Alex's gaming account and reading the police reports on The Pride. Alex left instructions on how to bring him back. They also consider The Pride "good guys" because the crime rate was down while they were around.

They try to bring Alex back useing different resources from all of the Pride. The plan is to take Alex out of time a split second before he died.

One guy gets shocked and disintegrated. The smoke clears and they messed up and accidently brought back a young Geoffry Wilder.

5/5

I have issues with no Alex though. Alex was completely different from his father. The Nu Pride should not get along with his dad. If they took his dad into the future how does that mean the Pride survived to begin with without The Wilders? Isn't the space/time continnum and issue here? That's a rhetorical question.

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

the molly issue:

it was great, i liked to see all molly justing being a total brat, and at the end the thing about her parents....shows she really does miss them.

Issue 14:
did you guys get a chance to read the list that chase had:

1) buy a monkey
2) buy some beer
3) train monkey to mix beer
4) buy ammo

:lol: :lol:

Chase "Don't turn me into a fish again....":twisted: also nice to seee that Nico has a little bit more control over her powers.

other than that still waiting to see how this turns out, but a pretty good issue. artwork was a lot better.

Actually it was:

2) buy alcohol
3) train monkey to mix alcohol
4) "wask/mask or something" vote on 3rd party
5) buy rifle ammo

but this is just me being picky

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

Geoffrey Wilder was my favorite of the original pride, and i can't wait to see what they do with him...

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

Just picked this up today, and I would like to take a moment to say something to all who doubted me and stuck sheepishly to their 'Alex-is-coming-back' hopes:

I FRIGGIN' KNEW IT!!!

Yeah, that's all. Good issue.

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

BKV gets a gold star!!! Way to bring it back to the beginning!!!

I too have some question on the time travel problems...but I'll wait to see how they're gonna fix all that.
