Since I came on to this title (#1 of 'Season Two') I've really liked each and every one of these characters.
Click Here For A SpoilerIt was tough to see Gert die! Even tougher to see Chase's reaction. I suspect we'll get great characterization for Chase and I'm glad Old Lace is gone.
This is very much in the tradition of Marvel's best stuff right now though, a constant character progression. Still though to see her go though
I'm thrilled Karolina is back though, as she's my second fave (behind Nico). I really like them all though.
Wondering where the book will go from here...

and Apparently Excelsior is getting its own book? retitled "The Loners" as Stan Lee owns the rights to Excelsior.
So Excited...though kinda over marvel on the whole these days.

OK, I'm glad "Loners" is gonna happen but I can't say I'm to optimistic about Joss coming on board considering how freaking blowful his Astonishing has been. Don't get me wrong I loved it at the start but after he brought back the Rusty Russian (who was creamated for Our Lord Magneto's sake!) it went downhill so fast you'd think it was in a soapbox race.

aorry actor lad, but i beg to differ, the return of colossus is one of my favorite moments of all comics history. tears came to my eyes and my mouth dropped open. Astonishing is the only X-men comic i buy...and i was a pretty devoted X-fan before the 90's.
but, does this mean joss is leaving astonishing? great....and where the hell are vaughan and alphona going. i'm feeling gypped. one of my two favorite titles is going to the crapper i'm sure?!?!?
besides vaughn does great dialogue!
btw: I am thinking of having a service for Gert, my favorite Runaway, you all are invited. Maybe Joss will bring back Gert like he did Colossus! we'll get a page with Chase with his mouth open instead of Kitty.

Wheddon's Astonishing started great and kinda plateaued, but I can't stand to read the individual issues. I really need to read it in TPB format to enjoy it.
Brubaker on Uncanny X-men, now that is a comic I can't wait to read. I haven't enjoyed X-Men like that since reading the Classic X-Men reprint series.
Wheddon on Runaways will probably be good in attracting a bunch of readers to the series. I just hope that it won't suffer from delays and such like AXM has.

Chase's definition of 'innocent' needs some explanation, I think.
Great title-- I wish more Legion Worlders would give this a try.
I'm really, really glad that Xavin the Skrull survived and is now officially a member. Yes, a Skrull is a member of a Marvel team of heroes, without fudging on his identity.
Would it attract more readers if I mention that he spends a bunch of his time in the shape-changed form of a girl so as to keep the attentions of his lesbian fiancee?

What shocking revelation does he learn about his past and what does this mean to the Marvel Universe?

This was announced months back, even if it's just solicited (it's set between Runaways v1 #17 & 18). See the Mystic Arcana thread (the title of which should really be despecified from the BK issue).
And it helps if you spell "Arcana" right
-------------------- My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I didn't realize Whedon was only on for six issues. Terry Moore should be a good fit, but Ramos? Just.... no. This isn't a book I want looking THAT cartoon-y; I wish they were keeping Mike Ryan on the title.
