Just finished Runaways volume II.
Like it, but not nearly as much as the 1st one.
Cons first
-Annoying art style changes confused the hell out of me.
-Cloak and Dagger... They really need to stop popping up.
-Alex the badass black kid with no actual powers didn't return from the dead at any point... Lame!
-Finally, and most importantly, the Avengers got the shaft. For no reason too. Spiderman takes 2 of them out for sushi, and how is he repaid? The asian gothic chick knocks him out. That alone makes no sense, since Spiderman would never allow himself to be owned by an inexperienced child, but he was also being really nice to them. It pissed me off. Then, Wolverine gets punched out the window by a little girl (albeit one with a lot of strength) but even so, it was just stupid.
The kid's distrust of adults simply because they are adults really started annoying me, especially since half the time the adults were freaking superheroes.
Pros
-Victor Mancha: Best character addition since the Green Ranger in Power Rangers.
- Chase got some screen time and it didn't even involve him acting like a tool. Yes!
- "What if his dad is Voldemort!?"
- A kiss involving a white dude and an asian chick. The guy was even my favorite character. So what if he immediately rejected her, displaying his incredible badassery, it still happened! I win again!
-Spiderman was in it and he acted like a badass the entire time. I call shenanigans on Nico knocking him out. That was completely retarded.
-Captain America and Iron Man are both in it. Too bad they got completely shafted for no reason-_-
-Two words: Pimp. Hands.
-Katerina is gone. And apparently a lesbian. Hurray!
-Nico being on her period lets her summon the staff of one without cutting herself? Hilarious.
-Someone is gonna die in the next volume. I am really hoping its Gert or Nico. Gert because she puts a damper on my hopes of Chase becoming the Albert Wesker of the series and Nico because she knocked out Spiderman for absolutely no reason. Bitch. On the other hand, she did give Chase some lovin', but Gert's his actual girlfriend, therefore negating it.... Yeah...
In the end, it was still solid, and the foreshadowing makes it seem like Volume III will be awesome. I really hope the Avengers appear again though, and Spiderman kicks Niko in the face. That whole part just completely pissed me off. Spiderman was like the nicest guy ever. Captain America, Iron Man and just about every other super hero I liked were given the shaft. I'm kind of impressed, actually, at just how incompetent they made them look, considering they're not only superheroes, they're by far the most competent ones out there short of the upper tier DC ones. I shudder when I think about how out of character they would've made Batman (who surely would have used his anti magic spray and then promptly given Niko a bat-bitch slap for even trying to knock out the goddamn Batman if they were going for realism... Or as realistic as you can be in comic books.)
