While I liked the story for the second half of this volume, I'm still at odds with the arranged marriage plot and how Xavin's gender-fluidity has always been treated in general.

When I was younger I was ecstatic that a transgender character existed in popular media but now I realize it's definitely less than great representation. Believing gender-fluid people should drastically change their appearance to be more attractive to potential partners is really unfair to them. It's already difficult enough growing up and having to realize your real gender and ways you want to present without being expected to alter yourself to appeal to others as well.

Other than that problem I don't have strong opinions about any of these issues. I wouldn't call them boring, but there aren't many specific scenes or development that really stand out to me. The Runaways are great characters though and as long they're being written decently I don't mind reading anything that features them.
