This felt like a huge step backwards for Runaways as a book. Chase's character growth? Thrown out the window. I can't be the only one who thinks that his character regressed to something like the second or third issue of the original series. That alone is very disappointing. But the central story, about a group of Majesdane soldiers come to collect Karolina, just wasn't very good. That Karolina is going to be put on trial for her parents' actions (which lead to the destruction of their homeworld...

Except for an issue or two that I’ve read of Joss Whedon’s arc on the characters, this is the first time that I’ve read Runaways not written by Brian K. Vaughan. Terry Moore is an eminently capable writer whose work on his own characters in Strangers In Paradise is critically acclaimed. The artist on the art, Humberto Ramos, whose expressive art and affinity for depicting teenagers (Crimson, Impulse) makes him a perfect fit for these characters, so much that I wished he could have with Vaughan o...

I didn't really enjoy this volume for several reasons. First and foremost, the story doesn't feel that strong. It's not really tried to any of the firsthand events that have occurred nor is it the result of the Pride's or their children's actions. The story, along with it's antagonists, appear completely out of left field and by volume's climax disappear just as quickly. Military personnel from Kar0lina's home world arrive on Earth with the intent to bring her back to her Majesdrane and put her

This was quite a change, and really noticeable in the art and I honestly didn't like it as much... it wasn't bad, it just didn't fit my personal style as much. But it did fit with what this comic set out to be, since the sypnosis centered around Molly and the art felt more childishI really like the new character - she's sweet, fun and excitable :) Everyone else is still good, but yeah, things have changed and the characters have changed - which makes sense, they've grown up and been so much... b...

Karolina Dean is being hunted by the Majesdanian race, who blame her for her parents betrayal that led to the destruction of their home planet.So Terry Moore pens this iteration of the team, and he brings an energy that tends to steer the book toward a more action oriented direction. I did notice a difference between him and other writers, where the other writers would have the interpersonal relationships of the team be almost the main focus, and whatever adventure they were on almost like the b...

It's the 3rd season of Runaways and the creative team is now Terry Moore and one of the artists whose style I can stand, Humberto Ramos. The homeless Runaways find a new home only to be attacked by a group of aliens who want to arrest one of them! The Brian K Vaughan created series, is rapidly becoming something else, it's losing it's heart. A lot of this volume felt like filler! 5 out of 12.Ramos' art:

3.5 maybe? Since Brian K. Vaughan is not part of the comics anymore they have been not as good as before. I still liked them, of course, but they were better before. Also, I didn't like the art of this volume, I miss the old one.

It’s been a while since I spent some time with the Runaways, so I felt a little lost at first. Once I got a ways in, I could follow OK, but I’m still going to have to go look up why a few characters are missing in this volume. And I could swear Chase already worked for that horrible radio guy in a different arc. That aside, it was a fun to be back with the gang. I especially loved Molly and Clara’s scenes together and Clara’s rejection of “Tower of Flower” as her superhero name. I wasn’t too thr...

It ticks me off when a good series suddenly changes things up. Sadly this volume not only changes up the art style, but it takes all the character development and stomps on it, and basically flips readers the bird. Chase is basically back to being an idiot jock. Even more brainless then when he first came into the series, and really mouthy. Talk about slapping Gert fans in the face. Overall the plot bored me. The resolution was sad and broke up the best thing about Runaways. Who knows if it will...

Reread.The story was okay, but I wasn't a fan of the artwork on this one.

This one was a bit of a chore for me. Though I recognize its quality, I am personally not a fan of the artwork in this part of the series. The exaggerated facial expressions don't work for me, mostly because I'm more impressed by realistic art (like that of Alex Ross) than cartoon-y drawings. Couple that with some slapstick-y action near the end of the volume and "comedy" that was misplaced and simply unfunny, and I found myself just wanting to get through the book and move on. Even the characte...

3.5Art was good, but I feel like a lot of character development took a big step backwards in this one

Spent last night and some of this morning catching up on several volumes of Runaways, the Marvel comic about a bunch of modern-day super-Boxcar Children battling evil in the streets and skies of Los Angeles. Unless they're in New York, or in the past, or dealing with the complications left by their dead villain parents, or all three of the above. Nothing deep here, just some good characters and storylines. I have to wonder if at this point they're making the series and assuming it'll be mostly r...

You know, I didn't like the art so much on this one. Maybe I'd just gotten used to the other style, so that a new artist is a little jarring.What I really love is how successive writers have stuck with the idea of a team that is not just teen, but also primarily composed of girls. It's so rare, it deserves comment.Anyway, aliens attack and Chase takes a job. Trouble ensues, battles are fought. So much fun.Library copy.

Though I didn't like the artwork in this volume, I enjoyed the story overall. (Even if I predicted several of the twists.)

Art work grated on me and story felt too different to everything that preceded it. Just a bit disjointed all round and just didn't grab me at all

One of the things I was most excited about, getting Marvel Unlimited, was catching up on the Runaways volumes I hadn't read yet.But whoa boy, was this a disappointment.

Man.. the art. Ugh, ugh, ugh! I thought it looked bad on the cover, but that it was just the cover, and maybe I could get over it. Then the introduction is from the youngest member of the group, so I thought maybe the whole thing was her point of view and I could handle perhaps the more childish style. But.. no, that didn't seem to be the case.And just when I thought I was finally getting used... well, ignoring it fairly well, it would get even more horrid. UGH!! Chins, and noses particularly, b...

The feel of the series becomes lighter at this point. The characters become whinier and I felt like I'm reading an entirely different series. Molly seems to be acting even younger and has become bratty. I didn't find the Karolina story to be that interesting and it was a cheap way to lose Xavin. Nico is still weak as a leader and has poor control over her powers. Overall the characters feel stagnant and exaggerated. They've been on the run for awhile now, I would've liked to see the characters'

I didn't like the art in this one very much. The story was still good, and like with all the other volumes, the ending was epic and made me desperate for the next one. But yeah, the art was meh. Definitely reading the next one though. There's only two more volumes in this series (I think), so I will probably just go ahead and order both at once.
