Runaways #30 Review

RUNAWAYS #30

Much like my glee over Kirkman's days on Ultimate X-Men being over, I can finally look forward to actual good issues of Runaways again, assuming Whedon's horrible, delay ladden run hasn't killed all fan interest in the relatively low selling, niche series.

This issue wrapped up the whole time travel plot. Not sure what happened, honestly. The winged guy flies the bomb into the air, it explodes without really doing any damage and there's a brawl still going on between the random super powered people, all of whom I have long since forgotten about.

From there, Nico shows up (not sure if it was even shown how or if she escaped since it's been so long since the last issue), the team leaves with the red head dancer in tow, run into Gert's time travelling parents, Chase shows up from the future where he did...stuff...and they all head back to the future.

However, because no one demanded it, the red head stays behind and the little girl that was married to some pedophile joins the team and goes back to the future with them as the new member.

And, to wrap up the random old lady plot from a year or two ago, back when this story began, she's revealed as the red head dancing girl Vic loved and she cries over how she didn't come to the future with him.

Verdict - Avoid It. Go back to Buffy, Whedon, and never touch the Runaways again. PLEASE.
