Mephisticuffs is an awesome pun. Nico being freaked out by her anger and violence and pointing out that this is everything she'd fought against becoming is nice, it's Nico reflecting on her actions and how she's been forced to compromise her ideals since Runaways vol. 1.

Alex coming back so soon is awesome.

Soon its been what a decade almost since he died?

So soon in this series and this early in the issue. That page looks like it could be a cliffhanger.

There can be more of the issue dedicated to the reactions and interactions of Nico and Chase to this development now instead of waiting another month.

it hasn't been a decade in marvel time. Nico isn't in her mid/late 20s....she probably isn't even 20 yet.

Well duh I am talking real world time. Its been like 2 maybe 3 years.

I like that Hopeless is addressing how odd it is to make Nico a potential villain since the runaways started, and hopefully she doesn't fully join the dark side. As for Alex's return, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing given how this series portrays it's unique look on villainy and how it actually isn't all bad. All I can say is should be interesting to read for Runaways fans.

Someone clear something up, is that the real Hellstrom or one of those odd fragments he sent out in to the world?

Also, Alex returning, don't see that sticking

That reminded me that I wanted to ask Hopeless if he could clear up the kids' ages, even if only vaguely because of Marvel's unreliable timeline. Well, I did.

We try not to speak in specifics when it comes to age but as far as I’m concerned: Cammi is the youngest at around 13. I’d say Death-Locket and Cullen are both around 14-15 (Becca’s small frame makes her look a bit younger than she is). Chase is the oldest at around 19. The others are all somewhere in that nice vague 15-18 range.

Again, things only count as official (like Marvel Handbook Official) if they show up in the pages of the book. You’re unlikely to see any concrete ages spoken on panel.

Hope that helps.

Agree with everything here. Really hoping Hopeless nails their interaction.
