Runaways Guest Appearance in Avengers Academy

[long_silence]

Okay so the Daken guest appearance didn't really go so great, but it's a new month and our Runaways are going to show up in Avengers Academy next in a two part story. Hopefully this next story is better.

Here's a link to the preview

I'm sorry, but the art is horrible

Did you read it? I got the issue today and I want to like it but it's awkward.

Spoilers?

I'm glad Old Lace is back at least. But K saying she's single was a little.. ugh. It couldn't have been that long.

I read it, did not enjoy it. I don't really think the Runaways were really in character,

Molly wet herself. And Karolina just forgetting about Xavin so she can flirt with Julie pisses me off to no end.

Molly wet herself
Please tell me you're joking.

No. It's in the preview.

I was just complaining about the lack of Runaways on tumblr yesterday.

This is not the reality that I wanted.

So yeah, it was a little rushed. But all in all I didn't hate it. I have been trying to get into Avengers Academy cause X-23 just got moved there (after her terrific solo series got cancel, am fucking livid about that one) and the kids are so contrived. But other than Molly being more immature than usual, I think most of the others were in character.

And at least they didn't call themselves 'The Runaways' like they did in Daken. Argh, seriously.

Wow, am I the only one who just got a flood of hostel posts that looked like they were posted days/weeks ago, all in one go?

Anyway, glad Old Lace is back, thought it was a bit silly how they did it, but good enough and I'm still glad that they did... which means that except for Xavin leaving, we can move the entire third volume into 'Schrodinger's continuity' status, where you can ignore it or allow it to have happened depending on your preferences.

That might not sound like much, but if they ever bring it back as an ongoing, that will be important to me continuing to be able to enjoy it. I won't have to mentally grumble about Old Lace being dead or the other things that happened, I can just put my fingers in my ears and say 'lalalala never happened'.

Also felt most of the characters felt a little off, particularly Molly, but as a guest appearance it's not critical.

I think livejournal recently automatically put all community submissions into moderation queue, so mods have to approve all posts. It's been kinda dead here at the_hostel for a while, so I'm not surprised that the mods didn't notice until now.

I think I can safely say that if the Runaways ever get another chance at an ongoing I don't think I want Gage on it.
