Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Oct 30, 2019In the finely-crafted Runaways #26, the family absorbs enough information about Doc Justice and his ongoing war against the Pride to sign themselves up. The changes are so swift that they're overlooking all the red flags along the way. Thanks to the creators' hard work, those flags are glaringly obvious to us, building breathless anticipation for dramatic and possibly tragic twists coming up soon. Read Full Review

Oct 30, 2019Not much action happened here, just a good amount of dialogue. If this book is actually planning what I think they are planning then I am so looking forward to more of what is to come. This is a book that for the longest time has gone nowhere. But if we are setting up something new and adventures for our Runaways, then this could be the saving grace that the book has been waiting for. The art is very good! Dialogue, on the other hand, is a mix. It has some great parts and others felt forced and out of the blue. Read Full Review

Nov 01, 2019Andres Genolet continued to work wonders on the panels. He even manages to give Doc Justice in civilian form a suave look I'm sure people will go nuts for. Victor dons a new monicker for the time being, starts the rallying cry and we're ready for some action in the next issue! Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Tyson Yurai
Nov 16, 2019This issue is a take it or leave it. It moves forward the story to show exactly how and why the Runaways are going to become part of the new J-Team, but a next issue recap could do just the same. If youre a die hard Runaways fan, then this issue wont be any different than any other exposition dumps that have been written over their years. Its a good, solid effort, but not exactly necessary.

This issue is mostly setup, but it provides ample space for Rowell to do the sort of character work she excels at, and the book feels like it has more motion in a while. Everything feels exciting and intriguing, the Runaways' naivete feels real and relatable, and Genolet's strong work sells every character moment. Also, while the resolution (?) of Gib's plot in no way justifies the months spent on it, it's a cute scene. This book really feels like it's getting back on track.

Old Lace presenting an injured puppy to Gib so he can eat its soul, and then eating the puppy, is something I didn't know I needed.

Doc Justice's heroic enthusiasm infects the Runaways, who eagerly sign up to fight crime with him. They are missing a ton of red flags as they do so. It's a clean, simple story that reaches greatness by being consistently, perfectly believable every step of the way.

Hmm, I don't trust someone so nice and upstanding! What's he hiding? The last couple pages are adorable by the way.
