Eh. I'm sure people who worship the ground Whedon walks on will love this, but I found it to be the blandest volume of Runaways so far. A lot of inconsequential hogwash and overly-complicated plot threads that didn't seem to lead anywhere. Plus the increasing amount of in-character anti-trans* comments from a certain man's mouth is bothering me to the point that I could care less about his respective plot line and angsty man pain. Yawn. Also: could Whedon's name possible be any bigger on the cover? JFC. ( )

Despite the dreadful storytelling skills of artist Michael Ryan, Joss Whedon manages to eke out an enjoyable tale. ( )

this is a lovely little thing. joss's goes all fanwriter on Brian K Vaughan's Runaways, which is funny in itself. and time travels them all to 1907 London, which also has people with powers, and they aren't treated like teenagers there because teenage is a concept that hasn't been invented yet. so, some new characters, lots of steampunk, and street wars, and extravagant subplots and general mayhem and jossian wordplay ensues. and Michael Ryan's art is just as fabulous as it needs to be to carry the whole thing off. ( )

This volume was the reason I decided to read Runaways (although I started from the beginning, in part because I'm enjoying Vaughan's Saga).

I quite enjoyed reading this story, and my main complaint that it wasn't longer. It would have been nice to have more issues about 1907 and it's characters, and it would've been interesting to see what else Whedon would have done with the Runaways.

The characters felt the same as under Vaughan, and the artwork, while slightly different was similar enough (unlike some guest artists). The time-travel story back to 1907 was delightful, with all the characters it introduced. ( )

For no real reason, I blame Joss Whedon for my liking this book the least so far.

Sorry, Joss. ( )
