Here's the little pencil sketch of Nico, Adrian Alphona did for me. I don't have a scanner these days so I had to cam the sketch.
Adrian mentioned that he hadn't really done any Cons but I believe he said he'd be in San Diego next year as well as doing some more local appearances in Toronto.
Of Cloak and Dagger, I always liked Dagger more. So, of course she's the one ususally unconscious or in the background. Cloak's interesting, too. I'm glad to see him getting this attention as a guest star, here. Wonder what Charlie was going to say when he got interrupted?
I liked the visual effect of Victor's 'breath'. I'd like to get to know this character better, he's interesting.
This really is one of the better titles out there.

#10's out-- featuring a guest turn by the NEW AVENGERS. The team splits up into pairs for various purposes. The interactions of those pairs are the fun and beauty of this issue.
In X-MEN: DEADLY GENESIS, a new mutant is introduced that would make a great addition, or at least guest star, in RUNAWAYS. Her name's Petra, and she has earth powers. Anyone else read XDG and think she'd be a natural fit?
Can't say I'm sorry to see this storyline end. Not my favorite. Cloak and Dagger sort of take over proceedings whenever they appear. Give 'em their own title, or at least another mini, Marvel.
What's up with Charlie? Is he able to instantly use any tool that comes to hand?
I like Victor. Which probably means he's about to become a huge villain. Sigh.
The new Pride needs to debut already

A band of teens done in the 'Oliver Twist' mode could've had staying power as an adversarial supporting group to the Runaways. Ah, well... it was nice to see Molly front and center. The last couple of pages were quite sad.

But since all the publicity for the death of one of our castmembers has been for issue 18, I'm hoping this is a swerve thrown at us by BKV. Not that I actually want any of them to die...
Longterm, who wants to see Karolina stay on, and her Skrull fiance/ee join up?

I'm a bit worried that neither Heinberg nor BKV are directly involved with the crossover mini, but am willing to give it a chance for that reason alone. Hope, hope, wish, wish...

If you follow the link at the bottom of this post, you can see the first three covers of RUNAWAYS/YOUNG AVENGERS set side by side, making one image.
Warning: this could very well spoil the next issue of RUNAWAYS (then again, maybe not...) It would *seem* to narrow the 'death-pool' down to three Runaways... four if the future Super-Skrull counts.

Well, sure, but they could also pull one of those "This story takes place before the events of Runaways#18 blah blah blah" deals.
I hate the idea that any of them are going to get offed. The interplay and chemistry between these characters has just been perfect.
Of course, I might have said that same thing before Alex turned traitor and got killed. I started reading with Vol.2 (I got the digests of Vol.1 later) and he was already dead and gone by then.

I hope the end of 17 is a red herring! Maybe they could do one of those 'they died but now they're a ghost member!' thingies. Apparently BKV and Heingberg are supposed to be editorially in the loop with the crossover miniseries so hopefully stuff will make sense. Also

Click Here For A Spoiler Nico lives, but Gert dies. A sad ending for a distinctive character. More individual than Nico, really. At least her sacrifice will apparently result in some additions to Charlie's arsenal. I'm glad Old Lace survived Gert's death.
I'm really liking Xavin. I hope he sticks around past CIVIL WAR.
