Comics - Runaways #1 - Even Joss Whedon is a fan

eurys · 08-27-2006, 02:30 AM

Is this thread dead? I can't believe it!
There's so many things to discuss about in Runaways! Like how hot is Victor? And when will Victor be shirtless again?

Seriously, it pains me this comic is not as popular as it should be, yet, most people who read it actually praise it a lot.

So, Runaways' fans, don't leave me alone! Where's the wanderer?

I'm here. I can't belive someone is one the Runaways thread with me.

Victor is hot.

I like Chase too, although I'm pretty sad for him right now.

I just picked up volume4 but I think I skipped 3. I can't remember.

wanderer78 · 08-29-2006, 08:39 AM

I read the issues, so I'm not sure about the volumes. I want to pick up the hardcover sometime though.

There's a hardcover? Too cool. When I buy, I'll look for it.

The last thing I remember in the last volume I read was when the kids found out who the traitor was and Cloak and Dagger(?) I can't remember the names off the top of my head appear.

I've only read a couple of issues of this one, but I liked them. I haven't been able to fit them into my rotation yet, but I plan to in the future.

The hardcover is of the first 18 issues. And the plot you're describing was in the first run.

There's been a second one since then. A lot has happened.

Wow, I guess I'm really behind then.

I'll definitely have to look the series up and find out exactly where I am.

I might check eBay for the hardcover. You can usually find good deals there on stuff like that.

Wow, glad the thread isn't dead!

So, here's a preview of the Civil war: Young avengers and Runaways crossover. Sadly, not a picture of the Runaways...
Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways #2 Preview ? PopCultureShock

And what did you guys think of issue's #19 art? Personnaly, I wasn't really bothered by the new artist, it's close to Alphonsa (I think it's the name of the official artist).
But I'm not fond of the art in the Civil War crossover.

Speaking of issue #19,

Spoiler:

I did not expect what happened between Nico and Victor at all. I'm sorry but, when was Victor attracted to Nico? Not that it's a bad thing, but it was not developed at all, just like Chase and Gert's relation when I think about it...

The code for spoilers is [sp*][/sp*]. Just take out the *

I guess with pairings, I think any combo is possible. The are teenagers in a pretty high stress situation. I actually loved Chase and Gert, I shipped them before they got together.

As for Nico, I think she did genuinely loved Alex, which is why she's doing the things she's doing.

I think I bought my original run of Runaways on eBay.

That how I've bought most comics I want to try out.

I like doing that too, rather than getting trades. I started collecting Y: The Last Man, and starting reading Runaways mostly b/c Brian K. Vaughn created it.

I bought #2 of the Young Avengers/Runaways crossover. But I haven't read it yet.

Hi, I recently got into Runaways. I've been buying the tpbs and need to catch up some. I know about a lot of the plot points though because of spoilers and reading post at Daily scans (which got me interested to begin with.) My favorite characters have to be Victor and Molly though, what about you guys?

wanderer78 · 08-31-2006, 06:18 PM

Hi, welcome to the board!

It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I guess it's Gert or Victor for now. But it's hard to say. I also like Karolina a lot.
