Runaways, Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home
by Rainbow Rowell
Runaways is finally back!
So I'll be honest. After the first arc of Runaways, nothing ever reached the same heights. I kind of accepted that. However, when Rainbow Rowell came on the scene she said she really loved the original and wanted her series to fit in no problem. Did she succeed? Well you can see my ratings.
So the runaways have gone their own ways. Two years later since the tragic events the team is begining to come back together. This mostly because Chase makes a insane choice to go back in time and save Gerts. Once she's back everyone begins to slowly come back together. However, some people are happy where they are. So the drama begins, and of course, not all is what it seems.
Good: Loved the hell out of the art. It's vibrant and really captures the spirit of the runaways. The story and pacing is well done and I really dug the characters. The dialog is playful and works the way it needed to feel like runaways. This is a family comic, which I love.
Bad: Some of the build up took awhile to get used to, and of course a different feel to the characters at first.
This is great reintroduction to our favorite characters. Wasn't blown away like the first time I read runaways but I was smiling everything I read another page in this. That's a easy 4 out of 5 for this one then.
