Hey /co/ we are doing a teen capes in comics thing for March! We read Sentinel yesterday and today we are starting my favorite comic of all time today! Runaways!
>>90522028
How is everyone doing today? I hope you are excited for the ride, I maintain that Runaways Volume 1 is incredible.
>>90522057
I love this series, one of the few I managed to collect in a completion.
Have an enjoyable storytime, this is going to be a fun ride.
>>90522154
I have all the volume 1 hard covers, I really have no interest in the rest, Volume 2 was fair enough but honestly Runaways doesn't work as anything other than Volume 1 becausethey don't have anything to run AWAY fromI even got Vaughan and Alphona to sign it at TCAF last year. God this series really got me into the notion of buying comics.
>>90522222
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This comic deserves that.
>>90522066
Man, this is weird, but I totally missed seeing 'retarded' in comics.
>>90522028
>my favorite comic of all time
Dan's lust for Molly can't be contained
>>90522324
BKV managed to decently write them as teens and Molly as an 11 year old. Compare when they show up in Academy and she says things like "you made me wet myself" and other kiddie shit, it's silly.
>>90522341
WHOA! That is not appropriate, Molly is not for sexual.
>>90522120
Jesus, I forgot how frightening old Alphona art can be
>>90522378
He's greatly improved, I give it a pass since it's never like comic ruining but if he went back and did it like he was doing Ms. Marvel I'd love to see it.
Does the art make anyone else think Molly is constantly yelling?
>>90522447
I picture she IS loud more often than not, she is 11 after all.
>>90522447
One artist gave her breast.
(Takeshi Miyazawa)
>Dude let's just turn on our parents!
dropped
>>90522531
Yeah but Miyazawa is used to Anime where all 11 year olds have breasts unless they are an immortal dragon vampire demon that just LOOKS 11
>>90522576
They murdered someone and dressed like super villains in a world where super villains exist, it's reasonable
>>90522450
>Vice City
This comic is so quaintly dated
>>90522480
>S...E...X
But Dan you told me molly wasn't for sexual
I trusted you
>>90522825
She isn't anon.
I thought it would be a good idea to draw every roster change for the team in separate images (7 total). I'm on the first original team. There is no end in sight.
>>90522846
It's amazing how little tumblr talks about Runaways, one of the characters is Literally a queer rainbow.
>>90522897
I've seen Xavin show up, but to be frank? No one remembers these kids and most don't care. Tehy have their small core fanbase until their Netflix show drops.
>>90522912
>he's a prodigy when it comes to logic and strategy
i thought you said this was good
>>90522897
Wasn't the last bit of the series so awful that literally everyone would rather pretend that it does not exist? Anyway, I never read it because the torrent I found conviently left that part out
>>90522960
It is good.
>>90522981
The big problem was the last arc was killed literally in the middle. There was no resolution to what happened an issue before let alone resolution to the hanging plot lines like what happened to Xavin.
I personally don't hate the stuff in V3, other than killing Old Lace being the worst idea.
Everything after that scattered around other books has been terrible.
>>90523029
Them showing up for 2 issues in Academy wasn't the worst idea ever, I just didn't care for how Molly was written but Nico and Hazmat broing out was worth it.
>>90523057
I thought that whole thing was, for lack of a better word, cringey. Other than bringing back Old Lace. At least they recognized it was a bad move and fixed it.
>>90523096
It was kinda dumb at some points but compared to other things the Runaways have showed up to in small bits it might be the best.
>>90522939
Call me co/umblr if you would like, but it bothered me a bit that Xavin seemed to be in man-mode more than woman-mode, despite Karolina being a lesbian. I admit not to know a lot about skrulls, but do they have any difference in strength based on what they look like?
>>90522028
THANKS DAN DASHLY
>>90523136
Well you're right there. It's the best.
>>90523137
Well Xavin admitted that he didn't really like being a woman and did it only because it's what his wife wanted, then people kinda convinced him that he preferred being a woman, it was really kinda weird in retrospect.
>>90523160
Us Runaways fans always gotta have that big picture perspective you know? These kids are in a constant state of getting shit on.
>>90523142
No need to thank me, I just post other people's work on 4chan.
Fun Fact, in terms of brute lifting and punching strength Marvel put Molly at #4 on their list of strongest ladies, Shulk, Rogue and MM beat her. That was before Red Shulk though so she might be 5 now.
Hey Dan, can you give us a hint as to what to expect this month? I would assume at least a TT mini, even though they are cursed
>>90523403
Top of my head Runaways, Academy, TTGO (the comic based off the first show), New Mutants, Some sort of normal TT (Judas Contract maybe?) I'd like to do Spider-man and the X-Men though I've never read it. I might do Marvel Adventures Spidey or Mary Jane Loves Spider-Man
I'm basically winging it desu
>>90523533
Spoilers anonalso it wasn't a bad idea he didn't plan on a volume 2 but Marvel wanted it
>Only the black kids parents have a bit of common sense
>>90523533
But anon... one did.
>>90523564
Spoilers!
>>90523581
I think I passed that point a while ago.
>>90523544
>>90523564
Sorry! I deleted the post butyeah you mean Alex's dad from the 80s right? I don't know I kind of wish that some of the adults made it out but I did like that after their deaths there was this power vacuum in L.A../spoiler]
Also we never figured out whichkid had that darkness or whatever that Cloak kept bringing up did we?
>>90523640They meant Alex
>>90523183
>Well Xavin admitted that he didn't really like being a woman and did it only because it's what his wife wanted, then people kinda convinced him that he preferred being a woman, it was really kinda weird in retrospect.
That always bothered me. I wish they would have addressed how fucked up that whole situation was. Have them break up because Xavin finally admits that, as much as he loves Karolina, he's a man and can't live his life like that.
>>90523732
It was incredibly awkward and I am as liberal as they come and I think it was kind of a little gross, to basically guilt trip and manipulate him into being a woman most of the time, if they addressed the weirdness it would have been a lot better.
>>90523706
I love this parental dick measuring contest with their kid's weapons and how much Nico wins that contest hands down, I mean the Staff of One is fucking insane.
>>90523919
What a gosh darn coincidence!
>>90523783

I'm sure at least BKV was going somewhere with it maybe he didn't want to go all in right away and sorta play out the idea of a trans person but not the way a lot of tumblr fans seem to think. Not that Xavin was genderfluid, but that he really was more comfortable as a dude. Kinda like how Karolina coming to terms with being a lesbian got a long arc.
Even though Whedon had the "You really are a girl" moment it still could be read as Xavin just doing it to get Karolina to shut up, as it's something he already did before.
In that way I like that it was gross. I want it to be ugly. It makes it really human. LGBT stories can be ugly too.
>>90524067
>Real World
This book really is dated in a wholesome way
>>90524089
Real World is still on to be fair.
>>90524121
Speaking of that, what is mr. Winick up to these days....
>>90524225
Nico has literally 0 chill. How could Karol have known about the kiss earlier?
>>90524249
Cute, they're mud-wrestling
>>90524299
Thats all we have room for so we will finish tomorrow!
>>90524349
You blue balls'd me Dan....See you tomorrow
>>90524370
Always leave them wanting more
>>90523734
>Gertrude is my slave name
Says the white liberal to the black man.
Was that intentional?
I never got why Molly's parents both have the same power. Feels almost incestuous.
>>90522317
First time reading this. Not to harp on anyone's favorite series, but holy shit that face. It's so tiny and scrunched. Might be the lack of eyebrows that makes him look so hilarious.
>>90525185
Alphona's art definitely has its flaws no fan of the series will deny that.
Reading this after just reading avengers arena isn't doing my mental health any good.
>>90523706
I want to know more about the backstory of the Staff of One. A Runaways x Doctor Strange crossover vs Dormammu would be perfect for that.
>>90524247
Women aren't logical.
>>90525123
I always thought that was the implication.
