I've read the first arc - twelve issues I think? I like it. I'm not exactly invested in most of the characters but the series is kind of adorable and I want to see what's going to happen next. And I like there is a canon gay couple. I, do, however, wonder why they haven't kissed yet. After the whole kidnapping by war hungry aliens, it really feels ( Read more... )

Yeah, ditto in the Billy/Teddy thing. At first I thought that I was just being impatient, and that they didn't need to kiss, but after showing us so many other kisses, I'm so annoyed with the series.

I love Eli so much, and I love it when he yells at Captain America, whom I just don't like for some reason.

If you're looking for recs, and if you have time, I suggest Runaways! It is chock full of wonderful female characters, which is why I like it best. :)

I'm interested in Runaways cos I'm reading the crossover thing. But man I want some Eli/Kate so much.

I don't even ship Billy/Teddy. They're adorable but don't push my buttons. But it's not about the ship it's more about queer representation.

kjsoidfjsld Me too. They're both so awesome! Have you ever seen this?

And I totally get that. At least Runaways is a bit better with the queer representation.

HAHA OH GOD I'M JUST MELTING OVER ELI.

Is there any lesbians/female gay couples? I like dudeslash and all but I've just been wanting more canon ladyslash.

I love how adorable all the characters are too <3

errr, well yes :(

Runaway is pretty damn awesome. I'm not perfectly happy with how the queer characters turned out actually, because I never found Xavin convincing as a genderqueer character rather than a male character who's okay with shapechanging into a girl for the express purpose of his fiancee.

I obviously can't comment since I haven't read it yet. Is Xavin the dino?

Xavin's the Skrull, thus a shapechanger. He features prominently in the second crossover they have with YA.
