The Runaways Thread

[Specter313]

Runaways #28 will arrive in stores on Oct. 3 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Joss Whedon, with art by Michael Ryan and a cover by Jo Chen.

Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"'Dead End Kids,' part 4 of 6. Love is in the air as the Runaways try and run back from 1907"

Runaways #28 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Informative.....

Aw, freckly redheaded girl is adorable. Ryan's art actually looks interesting now that he's doing the period piece thing. He was definitely not too great at kids in a modern setting.

 

[CaptainCanada]

What is this "Runaways" that you speak of? I vaguely remember reading a series like that.

 

[PhotoJones]

Ryan is decent, but he's no Alphona.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not in the synergy between style and subject, no. But the series has felt a little more active with Ryan drawing, at least. Apparently Alphona hated drawing action. Why he's working as a comic book artist at one of the big 2 if that's the case is beyond me, but Vaughan said that was one of his quirks.

 

[PhotoJones]

He may have hated drawing action, but he wasn't bad at it. Ryan may love drawing these kids and action packed scripts, but none of that matters if he's not doing a good job.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's not doing a bad job, either. Just a plain job. There's really no one out there among the superhero artist set who's going to bring quite the pizzazz that Alphona did, except maybe Josh Middleton.

Scottie Young could bring the energy, but his style isn't right for the title. An early Gen X-era Bachalo would rock socks.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd drop Runaways in a heartbeat if Young came on. I agree on Bachalo, but unfortunately he seems to have left that style behind.

 

[PhotoJones]

I wouldn't drop the book if Young came aboard, but I wouldn't be tickled pink, either.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That expression has always sounded dirty to me.

 

[PhotoJones]

It makes me think of those nasty, pink pickled eggs you see in dive bars.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thankfully, I've managed to avoid dive bars well enough to not know what you're talking about.

 

[PhotoJones]

Dive bars are the best places to do homework.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Bikers scare me.

 

[PhotoJones]

Those are bikers bars. I'm talking about dive bars. Get out more, Corp.

I think Corp was referring to VAGINA.

There's nothing wrong with those. Well, most of the time...

Bikers frequent dive bars if they can't find an official biker bar.

That's the second post of the day that's made me cringe. I can't decide if that's a or a .

Not these days. These days they just go Tumbleweed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Tumbleweed"? Is that some kind of urban youth drug reference? I'm afraid I'm a skosh out of the loop on you young kids and your hippity-hoppity "ghetto" allusions.

It all comes down to how much you like bread relative to *****, I guess.

Tumbleweed is a nationwide chain of steak houses. It's the same as the Long Horn or Outback.

I can't believe you used the "p" word. I would have thought better of you than that, Mr. Educated.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You're right. I should've said "poon" or "snatch." I apologize for my impropriety.

Ah, I get it now.

Now I want some steak...

Corp! Wash your mouth out right this instant, young man!
