Runaways Vol. 2 #1-24 (Brian K. Vaughan/Adrian Alphona) (spoilers)

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

So...are we going to have another Runaway die?

If so...it will probably have greater ramifications then Gert...the Gibborim said that in the process of taking a soul, the soul's identity will be completely and totally erased from existence...including memories. No doubt Chase will be using that to his advantage.

Though...if one of the Runaways' soul does get taken, that means the new run will begin in some alternate reality or something like that.

Should be fun.:)
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

i love this, most of all the art work was wonderful.

in the Gibborim world i love the art work, so many hidden treasures. So many little things that went unnoticed until you looked at them.

*sigh*

why does this need to end? Isn't there anything we can work out BKV?
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

Apparently, Whedon's only on for 6 issues... :?
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

Not that I've heard, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Sean McKeever.

Though I'd think CB Cebulski could be a dark horse candidate.

LAME!

Any word on who's replacing him?

I thought Vaughn said he was only comfortable leaving because of the capable hands the characters were being put in. Now we're already talking about his replacement's replacement? This ****ing blows.
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

LALALALALALALALA! I refuse to believe that Vaughn is being replaced!

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

If it weren't for the fact that this is BKV and Runaways we're talking about here---I'd be all "meh".
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

BKV wasn't lying when he said that Live Fast was his and Alphona's best arc. This is owning me completely.
Chase's method of taking down Victor was brilliant. The Molly-isms are getting more hilarious with each issue. Scantily-clad Nico.

I wish BKV and Alphona were bound to this book by their souls.

#23

As seen in the preview Karolina is having a bad dream of her parents ripping her one way into space while her "unlit" half struggles towards Earth. She wakes up to jailbait JAILBAIT!! Nico who then reveals "herself" to be Xavin attempting to satisfy her needs.

Chase is telling Old Lace that he's in charge as the Dino seems to disagree with what's going down. Chase is still holding Nico hostage and explains that it's not Nico he's going to sacrafice but he's going to off himself to bring Gert back.

Molly is complaining about herself and life with out Gert infront of Gert's picture telling her she knows how immature she always comes off even though she tries to be more like Gert and tries to live how Gert taught her too. She then hears a voice in her head telling her to go find Chase and round up the others because of troubles though she has no idea who the voice is (neither do the readers).

Chase explains to Nico that he had a revealation that he's not a bad guy and made up stories to himself to justify why his father used to beat him. He sort of sidetracks the whole murder thing Nico questions him about but insists that he's more innocent than he's lead everyone to believe. Nico calls him out on bluffing to kill himself and his return to the hostel is a cry for help. Victor walks in and threatens Chase telling him to let go of his girlfriend. Nico says to take it easy on the girlfriend bit and Chase asks him why some sandwhiches are made to big to finish. Vic can't compute and shorts out. Chase then reveals why he came back. To give Nico three questions that the abstract gave him that would stop Vic based on logic. He doesn't want Vic to kill Gert when she returns and since Nico's the one Runaway Chase's parents told him to stay away from he's always trusted her the most.

The rest of the Runaways meet and discuss what's just happened. No one can pilot the leapfrog but Xavin accesses his "invisible woman" powers and takes them flying away in a bubble.

Two beat cops witnesses them leaving and as one suggests calling for backup the other one says he thinks it's better if they call in the "big guns".

5/5
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

Damn! Excellent summary, MwoF. Will be picking this up over the weekend. Sounds like yet another issue worth looking forward to.

Wonder who exactly the "big guns" refers to. Are there any pro-Reg forces already stationed in the West Coast? Scary. (Am generally not following Civil War.)

Sounds like a great book. I can't wait to read it. I seriously thought that they were going to kill off Nico this issue *shudders*.

Re: Runaways series discussion (spoilers)

I made myself a new poster, this time Marvel-themed. This is a close up of one of the three Nico pictures included. From issue #23, for those who don't know.

It's hanging on my wall, right above my computer. It's nice to look up and see that picture.
