    It's hard to find faults on books that were thoughtfully made, in which Rowell's and Anka's Runaways is part of. The creative team still managed to step up the game and improved their craft making it more fun, exciting and very entertaining! Not your typical superhero book, this series is a definite must-read. I suggest everyone to give this a try if you enjoy feel-good-comic series! Read Full Review

    Comicsverse - AJ Zender Apr 6, 2018

    RUNAWAYS #8 is a near-perfect success. While some of the plot-lines fall a bit to the wayside, the overarching story excites and the characterization goes really far. The dichotomy between Power Pack and the Runaways is explored really well, and Kris Anka's work on the ending fight scene is explosive. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Max Sisco Apr 4, 2018

    Runaways #8 kicks the action into high gear while threading the themes of the run into the fabric of the comic. Also Dr. Doom wears a ridiculous three piece suit. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Taylor Vessel Apr 9, 2018

    9's across the board for this one! I thought it was a great issue that served its purpose of driving the story forward. Its balance between multiple characters makes for a strong family dynamic amid some of Marvel's favorite teens. Read Full Review

    Anka and Rowell are a stellar tag team that is firing on all cylinders. Runaways is hitting their strideso all comic book readers and fans of the new Hulu show should dive into this run before they get left in the telepathic dinosaur dust. Read Full Review

    Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze Apr 4, 2018

    Runaways #8 took big steps forward when we are reminded that a quiet life is not the kind of life you live when you put these kids together. It did not take long at all for them to run into the next disaster, or better yet it didn't take long for this disaster to come knocking at their door. While we know this villain to be the big bad, the question at the same time is if this is who we think we are actually dealing with. That is something to keep in mind till the next issue.

    This issue continues what fans have been loving about the current Runaways run, but gets slightly bogged down by the fact that it's clearly a middle issue of an arc. Read Full Review

    The new issue of Runaways is simultaneously the best and worst it's been, depending on what style of comic you want to read. Read Full Review
