No killing any of the kids. You hear me Mr. Yost!!

[CaptainCanada]

That shot of the Initiative kids has Stature in it, so apparently she is in this (though not reunited with the team at the opening).

Man I SO cannot wait for this! I love Yosts writing and both teams!

The preview art looks amazing. I didn't like it much on the earlier Runways runs ([pity anyone who follows Alphona!) But this looks SO good. That shot of the Runways sprawled across the pavement...wow. I hope the inker and colorist do it justice! No sign of any new/extra members from those pages...I wonder how Whedons end will work out...

That would suck beyond belief and be the biggest FAIL of the year!!

The X symbol and goggles are very Prodigy-esque indeed...I can't really see him rushing into action against the Skrulls though...and two Prodigy's in the Initiative?

In the highly unlikely event that that happened, it wouldn't be his call, it would be Terry Moore (in the case of Runaways) and editorial's (in the case of both, but particularly YA).

As I've already mentioned in your post on the X-board, look at the villainous Crusader in that pic. It is the wrong Prodigy, it is meant to be the Slingers Prodigy, not David. Gauntlet is missing his gauntlet, the artist was probably given little or incorrect reference materials.

But our Mr Yost has a murderous streak in him! You ask Wallflower, Icarus or Tag! Well, ask their ghosts that is. Their fictional, comic book ghosts. lol

But I'm just sayin, if it happened, whoever calls the shots. FAIL.

Yes, but he was their regular writer; here he's basically a fill-in writer to two different franchises.

Why did Yost describe Karolina as Xavin's wife? I thought the ceremony was interrupted.

Also I still refuse to believe that Teddy made a mistake by not going with either the Skrull or Kree empires. He would have been drawn into Annihilation with either empire, and then Conquest if he was in Kree space at the time.

And he wouldn't have been able to stop the Secret Invasion no matter what, the Skrull have been planning this for too long and he would have just become a puppet, a figurehead, most of them wouldn't respect him as Emperor. They would have still invaded Earth and this time the entire Skrull empire would be united against it.

[Toboe]

I think Xavin is pretending to be an ally of the skrulls and attacking the Runaways in order to protect them, since (s)he's said time and time again that Karolina is everything (s)he has left. Maybe infiltrating the skrull invasion would provide Xavin with the means to have the lives of the Runaways spared.

He seems to remain with the team for Moore's run after all. I'm curious that we're not seeing anyone new with the kids there...

[Brett P]

The great thing about this is that technically we have Runaways monthly again from June, since Moores run starts the month after this mini ends

Didn't the Three-In-One eventually unlock all the knowledge and non-superpower skillsets he had acquired from before he lost his powers? He's still got enough in the noggin to be an asset.

Yeah, but he can't learn anything new at all. So... he's pretty much boned.

[Peter F.]

I'm not sure they meant that it's impossible for him to learn new things. They may have only meant that it doesn't work the same way his powers did, being able to learn new things from the people around him.
