    The point would be that the animated series would at the very least be more open for younger viewers. Now the TV series itself is aimed at teenagers just as the comic was, but if you look at the Avengers, X-Men or any other popular superheroes the key is to get that recognition in as early as possible. There would probably have to be some massaging of the material somewhat, but if Static Shock could have a relatively true to the material, and well received animated adaptation I don't see why the Runaways couldn't at some point. Or even just an appearance in another series.

    Not that every comic has to last forever or spawn a massive multi-media franchise in itself, but an animated series might do some good for future longevity. Historically animated adaptations are more fondly remembered than a lot of live-action superhero series.

    Rowell claims to have not watched anything of the show, and there hasn't been a lot to suggest otherwise. Likely she decided that Gert coming back was worthwhile, but only if there were consequences. Those being that the others had moved on to an extent, and the already broken up relationship wouldn't have a chance.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    Granted I'm not sure they'd fit well in the current Marvel Animation climate. Maybe on Marvel Rising or a guest appearance on the Hulu cartoons. Maybe they'd bring in the show actors to voice their animated selves.

    Looks like the book is getting a new logo

    That's not a new logo, it's a variation of the usual one. It's just straightened out and had the left arrow on the R removed. They did something similar on a couple of issues of Miles Morales's book, the usually 3D logo appeared flat. In this case, it's been done to make room for that Eisner Award promo. Issue 22 promoted the fact the book was Eisner nominated, and had that lower down, below the logo. But doing that this time would've covered part of Nico's head.

    It's a significant alteration to the trade-dress if it stays for more than an issue or two. As is if you remove the skew, and the arrows it's always been fairly basic lettering. You can replicate it with highway gothic pretty quickly if you know what you're doing.

    Speaking of the trade dress, why are they still not using the Fresh Start issue numbering style? With the legacy numbering on it?

    My guess they are waiting for a big number issue or a relaunch, this, Squirrel Girl and Moon Girl all in the same boat but the latter two are ending by November and will likely relaunch. This, I assume is waiting for a big anniversary number. Likely 100.

    It's strange, but audiences tend to react to high/low numbers in inconsistent ways. Someone with the say-so probably just thinks higher numbers will turn some portion of the audience/potential audiences off. Maybe they think a large number would show the book's age too much? It probably isn't ideal to have the "hip book 4 teenz" remind readers that it has been around for over Sixteen years.

    It's doubtful that it plays a measurable factor in sales naturally, but that could be their reasoning.

    As much as I hope we manage to hit what would be the Legacy 100, I don't know how much the book would benefit from building up to it or making it into a special issue.

    Squirrel Girl (as of issue 43) and Moon Girl (as of issue 32) both adopted the Fresh Start trade dress already. Runaways is the last Marvel ongoing not using it.

    I thought you meant legacy numbering. Ah, I do wonder what gives then. Has anyone asked Rowell or the editors?

    Well, both really. But while it usually has the legacy numbering on it, it doesn't always. Squirrel Girl for some reason doesn't. The legacy numbering for that book is eight issues more than the current - the same as Unstoppable Wasp which did carry legacy numbering. Of course, any book on it's first ever volume (like Moon Girl) doesn't have a LGY number.

    Damn, I mean why not? Weird as heck with an even worse name, but that's definitely a change up.
