Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Runaways

Thanks, AL... computer problems kept me from updating for some of this week's new releases.

I'll edit the title for #2.

And again for #3!

So... who's Vic's dady, huh?

anyone else get runaways #3?


who is victor's daddy? kang? magneto? or thanos?
any guesses

**blinks**

Thanos?

Where the HELL did that come from?

[FTR, I'm going for "none of the above"]

they said his dad was the greatest evil in the universe.who else but thanos? mephisto?

Duhbya.

that's not funny.


he's too evil. i couldn't read any comics with him in it.

Except that I doubt you could reach Thanos or Kang using a regular telephone. Or Magneto, for that matter, since I hear "technology" doesn't work in Genosha. Whoever it is seems to be rich and powerful, so I'm thinking Kingpin (unless he's dead), Silvermane, or Doom.

it's probably somebody from the cover of (2?)

but being thanos' son would be way cooler than dr. octopus'.

BATROC! No no, wait MODOK! Hells yeah! When he grows up he's gonna get a big head and floating chair of his own...

The Hypno Hustler!

The Ringer!

Mindworm!

Well, Vic seems to have electric powers of a sort so who would that point to?

Doesn't have to mean anything.

With that last page, it's either the Kingpin, or they're trying very hard to make you think it's the Kingpin as a red herring.

Re: the latest issue.

Wow, I’m glad I picked this series up! The characters are more likeable each and every issue it appears. I have *got* to get my hands on the first series. I think Karolina might be my favorite now, but I’m still too new a fan to be sure yet.

The best part of the issue for me had to be the dialogue of the Doom-Bot. Let’s face it: I was pretty certain that somehow Doom wouldn’t be his father. And I was further certain that it was a Doom-Bot and not Doom they were facing. BUT, the writing was so spot on and the dialogue was so funny, that I couldn’t help but keep forgetting this wasn’t the real Doom! Calling the girls his harem, throwing one girl into the other flawlessly, calling another a dwarf…not bad for a one-issue fake villain!

And then, I have to admit I was shocked: Ultron! And what an entrance! And then it clicked with me: parents so far have been time-travelers, sorcerers, mad-scientists, aliens, etc.—of course there’d be a robot one! It’s the next classic genre of comic book villain!

Each issue leaves me wanting more.

And it appears that the guy helping team “Excelsior” might not actually be bad, which would be very refreshing, since that idea has been done to death.

Does this mean that Victor isn't biologically human? Or is he some sort of 'hybrid'? And just how would *that* be accomplished?

This really makes a Hank Pym and Vision guest-appearance a must.

Karolina's great-- but I really like Old Lace... Molly's fun, too.

So you haven't read the first series yet? Do you know what happened? I have a couple of guesses who the shadowy 'Excelsior' advisor might be from that series' end...

No clue, just that they were betrayed by a boy in their group! (Stupid boys!)

Besides that, all I know is the basics on the Pride and that Cloak and Dagger appeared. When I finally buy/read it, it should be a pleasant surprise...

i think victor was just spliced together from human stock by ultron.

so...unless the others wake up gert and chase are going to have their hands full. chase is my new favorite.

i'm guessing who the shadow excelsior benefactor is. "he" better show up soon!

Runaways #7 preview: http://www.newsarama.com/forums/printthread.php?threadid=40284)

Right now, I'm laughing at SHIELD not being able to keep a frelling single bee locked up since Ben Reilly beat Swarm last time. I mean, all you'd need would be a tuppaware dish

Who the what now? Ben Reilly?!?!?!?!?!?!

I thought he was dead?

Just started reading the Runaway Trades and is in the dark...

big hard back of the first 18 issues came out today. it is booootiful. has some extra sketches and commentary. i want it but dont wanna pay that much since i already have the whole first series (i think)

No, Ben's not in the issue. But the last time Swarm appeared, Ben-as-Spider-Man beat him and grabbed Swarm's queen (which controlled the other bees) and handed it over to SHIELD.

Okay, just making sure that Marvel hadn't cracked the Internet in half....again.

Thanks Reboot.

I just picked up the 4 digests over the weekend...Id been wanting to get into this series for awhile but never got around to it. And can I just say...wowza! also Gadzooks...This is a Truly Truly cool comic. And the Art...Fantastic! Now my Sister has stolen the books and refuses to return them.

This series is beautiful. I've just picked up the first three digests myself. I also went to a little Saturday afternoon thing put on by the Toronto Public Libary and met Adrian Alphona. I got a quick sketch of Nico too.

The preliminary pencil work from the sketch book that he had with him blew me away. The inked art loses a lot.

Ohhh lucky! Can we see your sketch? I got a Nico sketch once by Takeshi Miyazawa (who did a couple of fill-in issues here and there):
