I love how Vaughn used a single page to expose us to the main cast before grouping them all together.

Let me guess Typical BKV ending.

Also forgot a page.

>>90720447
I'll leave you to form your own impression of the ending. It's polarizing to say the least. Too many people get buttblasted while reading it though

Chase was one of the characters that I initially thought was a colossal douche but he and Gert ended up being some of my favorite characters.

You want to see what the "big deal" is while posting an image in a fucking storytime. Nice going, retard.

TO anyone reading, sorry for posting this series apparently too soon after someone else already did. I personally haven't read this series in a while and I thought it would be a fun set of issues to share. If not, it's only a one day detour from Spider-Man

>>90721468
I thought it was fine too, but it definitely could've been better.

>>90721468
YAY!

>>90722256
I agree to this too.

SPOILERS:
The biggest gripe I continuously saw was that everyone was buttblasted that Vaughn decided to make Alex the villain. Apparently having Alex be the big bad was incredibly racist when I simply see it as good character writing. I do wish Vaughn had hinted at it a little more but it still seemed like a logical progression from where he started (also considering that he knew about the Pride before his friends did which led to his fate).

>>90721043
Wow. That's dated.

>>90722506
What's funny is Alex's parents were named after his own he identified more with Alex.

I used to go to his forums back when the comic was still going and he talked about this stuff. Like the reason he chose characters to die was because he liked them more and especially the second one, wanted to be the one to off them before handing the book off.

>>90722825
wait is his walkie a no-hands model or something, or did he shout really loud?

Ugg....I'm getting old.

>>90723844
Gert's a fat, purple-haired leftist, yet she's infinitely more interesting and likable than Marvel's recent teen characters. Why doesn't Marvel tell new, up-and-coming writers of theirs to read Runaways to research how to write well?

Runaways storytime? sign me the fuck up

>>90724040
No idea. Seriously, no idea. Vaughn is one of the few writers that I actively look too for good dialog and genuine character interactions. You'd think doing "research" would be fun for these guys. Apparently not.

DUmb Question: If you were to write your own comic, which writers would you say would have the biggest impact on your style? It could be with regards to dialog, panel layout, or overall story construction.

Brian K. Vaughn.
>As stated above, I look to Vaughn when trying to create characters with unique voices and motivations. Also I love the upper and lowercase dialog and that's something I decided to incorporate into my own work.

Ellis
>His stories have a "bite" to them and he's fairly good with providing some degree of explanation for all the superheroics/sciency stuffy. His work on Fell was a push in the right direction because of his attitude that every issue should be worth the price of admission. A master of the "done in ones".

Joe Kelly
>From what I've gathered, almost all of his works for both the big two and his indie stuff have a geunuine heart to them. Amazing Spider-Man 617 & 625 brought me to tears and he managed to do it in two issues. That is master level writing (or at least it is in my book).

>>90724344
Glad to have you aboard!

>>90724391
Probably Gaiman, since when I first got into comics, I got some trades of Sandman to read through. And his ability to make these larger-than-life beings was eye opening.

I agree about Ellis, since even in his work-for-hire stuff where he admits he just uses to kill time until a creator-owned idea pops up in his head, there's still those layers of intrigue that make for at the very least a fun read.

I've actually never read Sandman. The only Gaiman I've been exposed to was his Miracleman work and his book American Gods (which I loved).

>>90725157
So, this is half the reason Alex turns evil?

>>90725213
I'd say at least a good third of the reason easy

>>90725014
You should definitely get on Sandman, then continue with Lucifer when you finish it. Lucifer is more of an action/adventure, but Sandman has some really great stories in it

I'll definitely get on that! Do you by chance happen to know if Eternals by Gaiman was any good?

>>90725492
I have never read it, so I will add it to the list. I would not recommend story-timing Sandman or Lucifer for a first read, because spoilers are actually super important in those books

How much Runaways do you plan on doing?

What, kids don't say things are "gay" anymore?

Granted, I graduated HS in 2009, so I don't know what kids are like, today.

I saw it coming the first time I read it because he just happened to be the only one who seemingly didn't get anything from his parents. It made me suspicious.
