FIRST SENTENCE: Escape to New York: Yes, flee in terror, Los Angelinos... lest you feel the sting of the mighty swarm!
Parental Guidance: Is she dead?
Live Fast: Should... should somebody say some words or whatever?

SUMMARY: Escape to New York: The team's lineup changes forever in the perfect jumping-on point for the series that Wizard said "could be the most original book to focus on teenaged super heroes since Spider-Man debuted all the way back in 1962!" When a dangerous alien invades Los Angeles, the Runaways' own Karolina Dean may be the only hero in the Marvel Universe who can stop him... but at what cost?

Parental Guidance: The villainous Pride returns, but this all-new group isn't made up of the Runaways' evil parents. Who are these shadowy players, and what do they want with the Marvel Universe's next generation of heroes?

Live Fast: The Runaways say good-bye to the past, and make hard decisions about their future. Plus: Still reeling from the events of Young Avengers/Runaways, the teenage heroes must now confront a horrific enemy who threatens to tear the team apart.

THOUGHTS: Teens being teens... except with superpowers. Awesome.

RATING: 6/10 [Good]
