7/1/2023 0 Comments Runaways volume 3Rowell sets this up really well – we’re introduced to the Gibborim kids and Alex in the first issue, the Runaways have seven months to figure out a “sacrifice,” allowing for other stories, and that deadline arrives in the final issues. (The cover is a sweet callback to the Pride, with the kids in their parents’ costumes.) Now in this volume – picking up immediately where the second ended – Alex has returned and so are the Gibborim’s children, who seem less interested in avenging their parents, and more in the Pride's incomplete human sacrifice. All of them died in the process, including the Runaways’ first leader, Alex, who also betrayed his friends. The Runaways really became a family when they stopped their villain parents ("The Pride") from sacrificing the world to the Gibborim, giant alien creatures. But more importantly, Chase wearing pigtails! An Old Lace issue! Gert and Victor blushing at each other! Rowell and Anka continue their fantastic Runaways reboot, this time bringing back major plot elements from the original run, including the Runaways leader, Alex, who’s back from the dead! Sort of.
