Runaways #25 has everything a landmark issue should have: drama, comedy, and a nice twist ending that leads the Runaways to well"run away. It brings the series into a bold direction, while celebrating everything the creative team has done up to this point. Read Full Review
Runaways #25 is a roaring success, briskly throwing monkey wrenches into the family's status quo without losing a step when it comes to complex characterization. It's the team we love facing brand-new challenges, and it's written and illustrated, as usual, with notable and endearing skill. Read Full Review

A move opens up a lot of possibilities, like running into some cool Marvel characters. Love Rowell's use of Doombot but I could stand for a few more wild encounters. The crew could get into some high stakes battles, perhaps against an established villain? Can my guy Andres Genolet get the chance to draw some of these wild name drops that have been peppered into various issues? Runaways #25 is another good one but it works as more of a setup issue than a great standalone book. Regardless, it leaves you excited to read next issue. Read Full Review
Well, it seems like the book is finally doing something! The first problem I have with this issue is that the team was forced to leave their homes. It could have been just something simple and natural. Also, what's going on with Gib? He needs to go. Other than that, a thoroughly enjoyable issue! The art is very good. This issue actually now has me excited for whats to come. This may be the jumping on point that this book has been waiting for! Read Full Review
Chaos drives the Runaways out of the Hostel, right toward the ambiguously creepy new hero Doc Justice. Even if it is a bit of a railroad, the plot moves forward with impressive speed. And this issue shows that the creators have their priorities straight: The title's magnificent character work isn't shorted by the accelerating pace.
So good as always.
A good, quick read.
The stuffed toy sacrifice is priceless. I wasn't expecting the situation to change so quickly, but I like this direction.
