The way Rainbow writes Gert (and Chase!)! I am permanently here for it!

I'm still fairly new the the runaways but Rainbow Rowell has portrayed them in such a way that I just can't stop digging deeper. This is a great introduction to this 'What If' series and I can't wait to see how this "constant" The Watcher speaks of impacts their actions throughout the rest of the story.

Runaways was one of the first series I read way back when, and wish there was more Runaways to read.
This was fun. The characters felt right voice wise, and the art for this was gorgeous. This would have been cool as a series, and the end was abrupt, but I feel like that is pretty normal for a What if.

Some things are universal constants. Like the Runaways are morally good, and I’ll always love Rainbow Rowell’s Runaways. Their designs in this book are amazing. I’m so obsessed with Molly’s Princess Powerful costume. Also Victorious? Rainbow Rowell you’re the best for that

It was a story. I’m not familiar with the Runaways, but this gave me a good introduction to them.

Ngl, I wanted to see what a future where the Gibborim succeeded would look like.

Really lacklustre.
So much exposition.
Dull.
