Molly Hayes responds to the X-Men's invitation for mutants in San Francisco and heads to the Headlands to investigate! But when she finds herself cornered back-to-back with Wolverine, she finds being an X-Man isn't all it's cracked up to be...
This issue is really charming, really funny, even touching, and does a great job of humanizing the larger-than-life X-Men, and a second tale gives us a really funny bit where the kids fight off monsters during a game of Truth or Dare. I haven't read Runaways regularly in a year or two, and it's nice to see that the interactions of these unique and fun characters are thriving, even under a new writer. Sara Pichelli's art is wonderful as well, with an animated feel but realistic expressions and wonderful perspective and framing. You can't go wrong with Runaways, apparently, and it's nice for a book to remind me of the things I really enjoy about the Wolverine character.

The story is only eleven pages and as such, much is left for the reader to fill in, like why the monster they are fighting is actually even there.
