I've only seen scattered scans of this issue and I already love it to pieces.

*pokes slow college internet* download, damn you!

Ramos' art is looking especially exceptional, aside from some odd panels.

Hey, I just remembered, a while back someone brought up that technically this was the 50th issue of Runaways. Cool

I suggested that there should be a commemorative cover that could read, "(Technically) 50th issue extravaganza!" It could be drawn by Adrian Alphona, or perhaps Alex Ross.

Sadly, my suggestion fell on deaf ears.

I would have LOVED that Alphona cover like a SON. super_heroine September 26 2008, 16:32:11 UTC
And that's what's wrong with the world. :(

This issue rocked. (Though the DJ story is still pretty meh.) I got so unbelievably unhappy (almost upset really) when deVanti when he called K and X's relationship perverted. (I wanted to slaaaaaaaaaap him. D:< )
girl!Skrull!Xavin.....oh lord, I was absolutely floored by that, MOAR MOAR MOAR please. (BTW, anybody else get an issue with a picture of some little girls eating ice cream, and one of them is a skrull!child? I laughed SO hard at that.)
Also, Ramos's girl!Xavin has won my heart. (S-So pretty. *3* )

I agree on the art improvement, what the hell! Halfway through I was like "...w-wait I like this, waaaaaaaat"

Female!Skrull Xavin was DEFINITELY a surprise; I think Xavin, in the end, is still just that magic extra Skrull that got fucked up by all the various Runaways writers' knowledge (or lack thereof) of Skrull physiology.

Evil DJ storyline...I am waiting for it to pick up? I liked that he killed Bob, thought it took balls and so I find him interesting.

I...the past couple of pages killed me, because I love Karol/Xavin and I worry for them now. I'm definitely interested to see how that plays out.

I just noticed. When Nico was casting the "Oceanview" spell, she wasn't holding the Staff of One. She used magic without her Staff. Cool.

I wondered about that too. I guess it's stuff her great granny taught her? I hope it's that playing out and not just lazy penciling...

Yeah, she's already done that before. Like when they were cleaning up the house, she was using a magical broom without the Staff.

I really need to pay more attention to details like that.

But still this was a pretty big spell in comparison, she was practically warping reality around herself.
