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

Awesome preview... !!! Swarm!?.... like what other writer would use these kinds of characters only the best BKV!!

What's really crazy is I find the art really appropriate for this title... I wasn't crazy about the previous art because it looked like everyone had "long faces" but I consider this a book that's associated more with a younger generation (My cousins love this title) and think the art is fitting. I can't wait for more Runaways.
 
i like the story, but im not digging the art at all. i've gotten use to alp, they just look to cartooney for me.
 
I'm going to try talk my sister into Runaways again...

I had the first trade borrowed and thought she'd enjoy it. I think she read some of it and then got bored.

BORED!!!!!, oh well its one of those, you either love the brats and are with them all the way, or you think there just being dumb and stupid until the very last arc of 1 where you love them again.
 
Alex returns,

Anybody got any theories on how Alex made it out. after re-reading i noticed how Big V writes, something along the lines of 'im a game master, i've pulling the stings since day 1' and when his dad tries to take the hit he takes it instead. but.....did he really take the hit?

heres the things Alex was the only one that was reading the book of the pride. with the ring and decoding it. and didn't the book of the pride also tell of the past, present and future? so, if it did tell the future then that's what he was reading and knew what would happen and how to solve it. and if he could get a call out to the crocked cop (clock and dagger), then why not his net 'buddies' and tell them what was going down. and those that is how he survived, and the other parents might have made it out alive as well. why did he relase Nico, he knew she would wake up the others and do what she did, he knew it all along.

any comments?
 
I'm sure since there's a great deal of emphasis on Alex's strategic intelligence that he saved himself somehow. The reason Nico's spell didn't work was because he wasn't dead. How Alex did it is in the hands of Vaughn but I can't wait to read it. I don't want to see the rest of the Pride revived though.

i can't wait either, but knowing V, hes gonna make us wait for a while. and i think it would be cool to see some of the dead pride members come back. not all of them, but some of them.
 
Runaways #7 Discussion (Spoilers)

Swarm was cool as seen in the preview.

We then go to the runaways spending some cash and time together.

Chase and Gert are going bargain shopping and Chase is threatened by Vic and Gert's feeling's for him. Gert assures Chase she only likes him and they make out in a changing room... very cool.

Vic and Molly are food shopping and Vic wants to know if the rest of the team is scared he's going to go "hay-wire" again. Molly just wants Cereal.

Karolina and Nico are walking through a park where they're checking out the stars. Karolina makes a move and Nico's taken back. Personally, I really don't think Nico should go for it. We already know she's into guys... Alex and the Vampire. But Karolina's whining about how she doesn't belong is inturrupted when a Skrull (?) comes to Earth and announces that he's Karolina's fiancee.

Never a fan of Runaways Art in the first place so the change is welcomed but it is a bit cartoony.
4/5

Nope. But I'm not really too upset about that. Vaughan's probably going to hit us with those storylines when we're not expecting it. Actually when the Skrull ship lands Nico asks if it's one of Excelsior's ships.
 
have they said how long V. 2 is slated for? like V. 1 was 18 issues (i think). at least that way we know who long we have to wait. guess i'll find out the rest when i pick it this weekend
 
Alrighty, im taking this one by the numbers...



1.) It's a Super Skrull. Regular Skrulls dont have powers like the one that showed up. The regulars only shapeshift.

2.) Alphona's art has ALWAYS been awesome. Can't really see why people wouldn't be into it. It's great. Makes the characters look more interesting. The art I don't like.

3.) We JUST got something about Alex. You guys really think we would get something the VERY NEXT ISSUE? Come on! Gotta live up the suspense. Nothing will be dropped ALL the time. The person that was secretly with Emma, nothing was mentioned on that someone EVERY issue or anything.

4.) This volume is going to keep on going, non-stop. Full ride all the way!



Overall, a cool issue. Liked having them relax for a bit from action, before coming right back to action. A little break always does good once in a while.
 
Guess what I picked up today? Runaways #7!

It was good. I'm looking forward to my copy of the V4 Digest shipping so I can get more of Victor's backstory, but this issue made me smile more than most of "Season 1" did. And it was The Swarm man! Nazi radioactive bug man! He's one of my favorite marvel villians!

...dude, we need Ultimate Swarm!
 
I have to say, although Alphonas art is great great great, Miyazawa is one fill in artist who I'm always happy to see. Very nice and simple, but energetic too. In particular, the attempted kiss scene looked great, Karolina looked really sweet and clumsy.

And Ice, who says that was Alex last issue? Personally I don't think it is. Although it would be great to see him as a recurring 'enemy', I really doubt Vaughan would bring him back, at least so early.

By the way, if you guys are interested, if you head over to Marvel.com before Sep 8th you can submit a question to Mr Vaughan himself. I just did, so why don't you? Eh?
