• Having purple hair used to be an act of rebellion, but now Gert is just one of many. Which doesn't sit well with Ms. Yorkes.
• And she's not the only one wrestling with who they are and what they want as Nico, Chase, Karolina and Victor all wrestle with their own identity crises...
Rated T+
It's always a scary proposition for both creators and readers when an established and well-loved property like the Runaways gets handed over to a new set of hands. With this latest issue, Rowell and Anka prove that they are worthy of the honor to continue telling our Runaways' stories. Read Full Review
A strong issue coming from one of the industries top creative team. The story might not have a lot of action compared to the previous arcs, but at least the strong foreshadowing and character exploration gave a strong potential to look forward to the upcoming stories/arcs. Read Full Review
Runaways #11 hit a lot of key plot points here and that was a big accomplishment in such a short amount of time. With that said, there is still one more to get to, and I have my fingers crossed they will not delay with the next issue. Read Full Review
Runaways packs a lot of fun, heart, and feels into this latest issue. Read Full Review
Runaways remains a cut above the rest of pretty much all other comic books out there. You're not going to find a more character-focused, well-thought-out comic when it comes to superheroes. Read Full Review
Well-drawn, luscious colors and a lot of important character moments make for a good reading experience. Read Full Review
Runaways continues to bear the fruit of Kris Anka and Rainbow Rowell's labor. You can tell each runaway and every panel is genuinely appreciated and worked on until just right. Read Full Review
The identity crisis issue brings a little humor and a lot of great character work. Stellar art, as usual, and more confident stretches where the writer clams up and trusts the artist to handle all the storytelling work. I particularly liked the way the backup story tied into the overall theme and gave the whole team a sobering "are we sure being a Runaway is so terrific?" bit of collective soul-searching. It's a quiet episode, but the way the characters interact and the way the creators tell the tale is supremely satisfying.
I wonder what pocket dimension Gert stumbles in t find this many people with purple hair in one place. I do get what the creators are going for though and it is otherwise communicated eloquently. Doombot is amazing as usual, I'm so glad he's still in the book.
