It was about time this series picked up. Sad to see Arsenic is still a b*tch, though

Guys, this was hilarious! I don't usually laugh out loud with jokes and such but this one had me crackling!

I missed my favorite girl so much, she deserves all the happiness

It's extremely difficult to rate the individual chapters, therefore the following is a review of the first volume. In other words, chapters one through six.
I have read the first volume of Brian K. Vaughan’s contribution to the Runaways storyline and found it to be an okay read. It left me curious, but it did not suck me in quite as deep as I would have liked. Although I plan to continue with the Vaughan arc, I decided to give Rainbow Rowell’s storyline a read to see how it differed.
I’ll be honest and say that this is one of those cases where missing information made it difficult for me to enjoy this one. While details were provided to fill in gaps, it wasn’t quite enough for me. It felt too much like I jumped into the middle of a story, and it distracted me throughout. Add in the fact that this one did not wow me to the degree that the Vaughan arc did, and I’m unsure if I’ll continue. Maybe I’ll come back when I’ve read the other Runaways storylines and understand this one better, but it didn’t quite work for me.
All in all, I think this was a case where it was me, not the book.

"What would we even be going back to? We were never a team. We weren't the Avengers. We didn't have a mission -- other than staying alive and not becoming our parents."
"Still seems like a serviceable mission..."

Bueno, sigo sin soportar a Gert pero parece que ya se ha terminado ese arco de AAAAAH OOOH ODIOOOO QUÉ MAAAAL por fin. Y ha tenido más cosas que ella quejándose así que mucho mejor, con ganas de más.

3.5 stars.
Oh Karolina. I’m definitely going to have to reread the old issues and revisit my love for her.

Can't wait to read issue #4!

Loved it, can’t wait for the next one.

Read out of order, cause I'm an idiot.
But this makes so much of what happens in issue 4 mean so much more.

My Gert/Chase feels though! I missed them and love how Nico and Karolina have grown up. Bring on Molly!

Got to love Rainbow Rowell, and I'm hopeful for the direction of the series... just a bit of a lull before some thrills I suspect.

Honestly, this was my favorite installment so far! I'm so proud of Karolina for the choice she makes in this book. Also, the plot seems to be getting better!

I love that Karolina is somewhat happy but I'm pretty sure it won't last. I can't imagine the runaways without her.

The Runaways are really starting to grow on me. Rainbow Rowell’s subtle humorous moments are the best.
