Looks very cool. Skottie Young's art really works for the Runaways.

[Sentinel K]

Looks very cool. Shame we probably wont have this in the UK. :(

[riotgear]

Wow, he actually makes cat-Beast look decent. I would totally love to see an X-Men cartoon in that format.

[Kal]

Only eleven pages? Looks cool.

[Doom Hammer]

Wow, nifty.

[Hi-Fi]

Wow! Looks awesome. The Runaways look so cool!

[The Lucky One]

Whoa... Kitty's totally stuffing! Quick, I've gotta blow my nose, somebody get me her bra! No wonder Lockheed looks so intent!

Seriously, looks awesome. Was hoping it'd be a more diverse cast, not just the Astonishing gang, but with art like that, I can't complain. Except for the fact that it's only 11 pages. But I'm betting those 11 will tell a more complete story than some 14-issue crossovers, so it's all good.

-D

[Beast]

Good Lord. Why is Beast making that goofy 'Durrrrrrrrr' face. :eek:

[Vegetarian Goat]

:eek: :eek: :eek:
I'm In Love.

Are these two variant covers? If so, i might need them both.

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

It's looking like Kitty's pressing herself against Scott! Like her and Emma need any more reason to hate each other.

[Doom Hammer]

Good Lord. Why is Beast making that goofy 'Durrrrrrrrr' face. :eek:

He's discussing continuity and the adaptation of science, both real and fictional, to the books springing out of HoM.

I think it's the only appropriate response, really.

[The Lucky One]

Good Lord. Why is Beast making that goofy 'Durrrrrrrrr' face. :eek:

He's imitating Chase, to general hilarity.

-D

[Beast]

He's imitating Chase, to general hilarity.

Chase? :confused:

[Doom Hammer]

Chase? :confused:

Loveably dumb Runaway with genius mad scientist parents.

[Hi-Fi]

Chase? :confused:

Read Runaways! :evilangry

[Faded]

Looks great!

Molly's not cute enough, but still great!

[Beast]

Read Runaways! :evilangry
I plan to. I'm gonna get the HC when I get paid. :)

[Jellobay]

That is awsome. It make me want a cartoon of it. :)

[Hi-Fi]

I plan to. I'm gonna get the HC when I get paid. :)

Now we're talking. :)

[Hi-Fi]

I miss Karolina. :(

[Jellobay]

I miss Karolina. :(

You read the last one right?

[Vegetarian Goat]

Did i mention that i love it? Because i love it.

[LoneWolf21]

That is mondo super keen.

I totally love it.

[Hi-Fi]

You read the last one right?

I did! It was just a slap in the face!! "Yeah, she still exists, she's lonely even with the cute girfrend". :o I loved that scene!


I want her back on the team. She can even bring the nice fiancee. ;)

[The Lucky One]

Loveably dumb Runaway with genius mad scientist parents.

You can't tell because there's no captions, but what Hank's saying on that cover is, quote, "Ah-duuuuuuuuuhhh...?"

To which Chase's response is, "Dude, the Blue Panther! Wait, no, I mean... uh, Lion-O? Thundercats, hoooooooo!!! Heh heh... hey guys, I said 'ho.' Heh."

-D

[LoneWolf21]

I hope Old Lace is in this. Then we can get jewish girls and their odd lizard pets doing battle.

[Faded]

I miss Karolina. :(

Which reminds me--is this in continuity?

(Just asking to see how this ties into current events)

[Jellobay]

I want her back on the team. She can even bring the nice fiancee. ;)

I wish she was back too. But with her popping up in the last issue, maybe that is the plan.

[superhornet34]

their heads are shaped funny. What artist is this?

[Hi-Fi]

(Just asking to see how this ties into current events)

I think it is. Brian is usually aware of the events in continuity. I guess it takes place before this current arc?? :confused:

[Hi-Fi]

I sure hope so. :)

[Faded]

Awwww...I guess Karolina isn't rejoining the team after all then. :(

[Hi-Fi]

Awwww...I guess Karolina isn't rejoining the team after all then. :(

No, if it take places before this current arc, then she wouldn't be in the team for the crossover. ;)

If it takes place after, that means she wont return to the team in this new arc. :(

[jawbreaker]

I want the version with the Runaways cover...they look better in this style than the X-Men...


according to Newsarama, Skottie Young is a big Generation X fan & would love to try to bring the title back.

Oh Skottie, I wish you mucho luck, but Marvel's more likely to prematurely break your contract then put out a new Gen X book...

[Faded]

If he's a BIG Gen X fan and wants to bring them back, what's not to love?!?! Seriously, I think I could join his fan club now. :D

Personally, as much as I love the Runaways kids, I like the X-Men cover better (aside from overbulked Wolverine and Colossus).

[The Lucky One]

If he's a BIG Gen X fan and wants to bring them back, what's not to love?!?!

That he's not a big New Mutants fan instead? :D Seriously, Gen X was cool and all, but man, they couldn't touch the Muties in their prime... wish they could get the band back together for an ongoing.

-D

[Young Avenger]

Skottie Young's style doesn't suit the X-Men too well. Piter looks as big as the Thing, he draws Wolverine like Samos does and I don't like Beast's goofy face. Though he does make his cat look look decent. The Runaway fit his style well.

[Will.S]

That Colossus scares me but otherwise I love the style.

It's so weird seeing someone else other than Adrian Alphona draw the Runaways though, Takeshi Miyazawa included.

[Cayman]

Heh, I didn't think I'd like Young's art but it looks quite cool.

Cay

[Twigglet]

This is frickin awesome.

I love this, I'll order it off the interenet, because there is no way my shop will get these in,

[Affinity]

Looks great!

[Sharcque]

Try as I might, I just can't get myself to like Skottie's art.

[Owens 23]

Lots of positive comments on Skottie Young's art for the young kids on the Runaways team. He got slammed for his style of drawing the young kids on the New Warriors team????? What gives? And his art is great here as usual.

[jawbreaker]

^ probably cuz the Runaways are still new characters but the Warriors are considered more classic comic characters. A lot of posters dont like the way he drew the X-Men here either...

btw, I should have asked this before-when is free comic book day?

[Nobbel]

That is not cool art at all, my God every kid of 11 or older and draw this.

[milhouse123321]

Arts okay, would suit a cartoon, except Colossus looks ridiculous

[steve2275]

at least he has size :)

Yeah, they so need to get her back and bring in Xavin the Somewhat-Super Skrull.

[yeoman]

Oh, and I can't be the only one that wants a scene between Lockheed and Old Lace. Comedy gold!

[Hi-Fi]

Right on!!

Old Lacey should totally eat Lockheed!! :eek:

[The Lucky One]

Dude, then Lockheed would have to burn his way out of her stomach, and then she'd be dead. Nobody wants that.

-D

[yeoman]

-D

Exactly. The Brood were scared of Lockheed. He considered them lunch. If it came down to a fight my money's on the dragon.

Which is why it would be far more amusing to see them together in the background.

Or...he could just live there. :eek:

[StarsAndGarters]

Is Scottie Young a pseudonym for Veggie Goat? Looks an awful lot like his style. :D

hahaha... i wish.

Have i mentioned that i love those pictures? :D

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

Did you see the wallpaper in the Marvel resources thread?

[Vegetarian Goat]

Did you see the wallpaper in the Marvel resources thread?

nope! But i'm there!

[Tre Styles]

Cool images but Beast's face is really goofy. :) But sometimes he can be goofy, so I'll forgive it. :p

Scarfing down on doughnuts.

[adamthered]

Looks like Chase shops at the same store as Kaneda. Check out the stickers on the Leap Frog :D

[yeoman]

Scarfing down on doughnuts.


Ha! Yeah, that'd work.

[The Fury]

*Looks at covers only*

Why is it always that friggin' team?

[Beast]

*Looks at covers only*

Why is it always that friggin' team?
Because it's Whedon's team, and that means they're more recognizable. :)

[Twigglet]

*Looks at covers only*

Why is it always that friggin' team?

Because they're the coolest, and more people would likely jump on to AXM then #549 or Uncanny X-men or #190 off X-men, plus the fact that the other is generally conisdered the flagship X-book, and Joss Whedon wrote Buffy and Angel.

....

Is he writing this? No, BKV is.

I hope that BKV recognises (Like Milligan and Claremont) that there are more then that team and feature more then just them.

After all, technically, Rogue can touch Victor.

Also, it'll be cooler if mroe then them featured. Get get them everywhere.

If a new reader comes in the shop, for the first time after say watching the movie (Which they probably would have) a team of:

Collosus, Wolverine, Emma Frost, Shadowcat, Cyclops and Beast and Professor X (in previous trades)

would be more recognisable than the other teams I think.

Where's Jean and Storm? ;)

But I don't mean just that team. I don;t mind if they are in it (except Wolverine), but I'd like a few more then that.

Look at recent Gen M #5. Jenkins chose a group of X-men that was quite random to feature in the alst issue, not just that team.

Bendis is guilty of doing what I don;y like. In the Sentry story, they get that team and only that team. Yet wouldn't you prefer, Rachel and Iceman at your side instead of Beast and Kitty?

[sharkerbob]

Ugh. *smacks forhead* The art's terrible.

Maybe if it was animated, I could accept it.

And personally, I think Whedon could have chosen a better team, but I don't really have an idea for any good replacements.

I don't know, his team is pretty strong and diverse, at least character wise. Besides, you know he was going for the buffy feel with having an interesting cross-section of various personalities, many who grate on each other.

Cyclops - The Leader
Emma Frost - The Bitch
Beast - The Brains
Shadowcat - Cute and Spunky
Colossus - Strong and Sensative
Wolverine - The Non-Conformast

[sharkerbob]

I think that's what irritates me about it. Look, no offense to Whedon, he's a good writer, but after 7 seasons of Buffy, I'm not eager to read anything resembling it.

Cor Blimey! That's what the problem is! I'm sensing Buffy-ness in the script. But maybe that's just a perspective issue. Well, I suppose its just a matter of taste.

As far as powers and dynamic go, yeah, it's a pretty well rounded team. And at least they're fixing Emma.

[Deathstroke]

Well now that I've read the book I'm sorry to say that the halfway decent story was ruined by this artwork.

Not my thing.
