• ALEX WILDER: No one led the Runaways better. No one hurt them more.
• Will he help them overcome the worst threat they've faced since their reunion, or is another betrayal, and the end of the world, on the horizon?
• It's time for the biggest battle you've seen in seventeen issues, and the family will never be the same!
Rated T+
Rowell and Anka really have a grasp on how to make this group shine, and tell a narrative with quite a lot of twists and turns (like this issue's major cliffhanger) in the process. Read Full Review
A great new issue of Runaways delivers shocking twists, exciting action, touching drama and a solid cliffhanger. Read Full Review
(Author's note: Apologies for the late review. I'm in the middle of switching jobs, and the process has been long and arduous. But I hope to be more up to speed and quicker with reviews in the future.) Read Full Review
I wish there was more that we could have gotten out of Runaways #17, but it did get us where we needed to be for this final confrontation. It all comes down to what these kids are willing to do in order to save the world and their lives. From the look of the next issue, what they do might be groundbreaking. Read Full Review
In the end of it all, everyone's true character is revealed and the team is left in another painful predicament, thanks to you-know-who. Rainbow Rowell certainly knows how to finesse the comic book cliffhanger because I find myself itching for the next Runaways issue to drop every time I finish the one in my hands. Check back in February to see how the gang makes it out of this one alive. Read Full Review
Man, this series is really great and I never expected it. The characters are all written extremely well and I really can't wait to see where this all leads. I don't know how this series is doing sales wise but I hope it lasts for a long time because it never overstays its welcome and it's clear that the creators really care about the story they're telling.
The much-anticipated confrontation between the Runaways and the Gibborim explodes in messy furball of quickly-shifting allegiances. It's eminently satisfying even with a big ole cliffhanger instead of a resolution. This issue dials back the character work a bit to concentrate on plot, and it works well. There are fascinating decisions and consequences throughout, and I couldn't be more excited to press on and find out how it all resolves.
Man, these characters are just so great, and this story is great.
Do or die time, love it.
