"A group of kids - including a witch, a robot, a mutant and a time-displaced little girl - living together in Los Angeles. What could possibly go wrong? After saying goodbye to one of their own during a conflict with some aggressive alien invaders, the Runaways are attempting to get back to normal - which for them means video games, camping trips and, of course, neutralizing potential violent threats to the City of Angels. Meanwhile, a popular radio DJ is concocting a devious scheme. With the help of a mysterious magician, Val Rhymin produces a song guaranteed to take Los Angeles by storm. Using a mystic chant layered in with the tune, the tune magically turns anyone who has undergone plastic surgery into an obedient zombie! And since it's in L.A., that means a lot of zombies."--Publisher's description.… (more)

Containing some of the more lackluster Runaways adventures, this volume wasn't very coherent and went through about 4 different filler plots after the Xavin saga. Really could have done better with this volume. (

Better than I remembered, and I liked the art a lot more than vol. 9’s. As much as I complain that characters crossing back and forth in each others’ series makes things confusing, it was fun to have the X-men in this one, especially with Wolverine as Molly’s babysitter.
I’m still missing some info, but I’m having fun revisiting this series. (

The only reason this doesn't have a single star is due to the chapter where they visit the X-Men, cause Wolverine is adorable with kids. Other than that, what a waste of a book. What was the point of these stories? Why is the girl from Whedon's run still here if no one is going to use her character in an actual story? I've never read a non-Runaways comic by Terry Moore - and at this rate, I never will. The art is abysmal; I couldn't recognize the regular cast at multiple points in the volume. At least there's only one more after this. (

This was a decent volume, although certainly not as good as Vaughan's or Whedon's ones. The Rock Zombie story idea was good, although it didn't go anywhere particularly interesting. The reappearance of the X-Men was fun. Unfortunately there's no overarching plot, and there's less character development than I'd like (and less Old Lace!).
The artwork, while better than the previous volume, still isn't as good as Alphona's. (

In my expert opinion, this was the lamest Runaways storyline yet. (
