Runaways Appreciation 2021

[Personamanx]

New year, new thread;

Created by Brian K. Vaughan, and Adrian Alphona in 2003 for Marvel's short lived "Tsunami" imprint, Runaways was an interesting book based on a simple idea. "Everyone at some point thinks their parents are evil. What if they actually are?"

Six upper-class teenagers whose families have known each other their entire lives discover one evening that their parents were supervillains, and a part of an apocalyptic cult called "The Pride." Using tools, and abilities inherited from their families the teenagers go on the run to take their parents down, being framed for murder/kidnapping in the process.

While they eventually succeed, they ultimately choose to continue their truant lifestyles, and protect Los Angeles from evil doers as nameless vigilantes. They would later be known more formally as the...

2020 was a mixed year for the team. With no longer having a TV series, and a global pandemic reducing the number of published issues significantly; The future looked grim for a while, but by all appearances we're still on the road to legacy issue #100. It's about damn time.

The previous thread can be found here for now.

I'm just happy Runaways us coming back. I really didn't think it would after the extended break. Here's hoping it stays in print for a long while.

Runaways seems to have some kind of protective ward cast upon it. At least long enough for it to hit the Legacy issue #100. Can't complain after a dry spell that lasted nearly a decade.

Shouldn’t Molly be at Gert’s original age by now?

She's definitely at least a year too young, considering how much Miles and Kamala must've aged up recently (both had relatives go through full term pregnancies, thus pretty much aging them up a year). And bear in mind how long the Runaways were around before those two even debuted. I'm pretty sure that both Kate Bishop and X-23 have aged up about four years since their debuts, which were around the same time as the Runaways.
