They're Back! Marvel Is Bringing Back One of Its Best Teams to Take On Doctor Doom
They're finally back! After a nearly 5-year break, the beloved Runaways are returning to Marvel Comics in a new 5-issue limited series that ties into the current One World Under Doom event. Forced on the run once again after Doctor Doom targets the young heroes, Runaways will see the iconic team fighting for their lives once again.
When we last saw the Runaways several major characters had left the team, with Karolina Dean going into space to heal her wounds with the Light Brigade, Chase kidnaped into the future by an older Gert, and the villainous Alex taking over the mantle of Doc Justice.
Runaways will be written by Rainbow Rowell, the best-selling author whose work on Runaways from 2017 to 2021 was critically acclaimed, with gorgeous art from Elena Casagrande, whose new take on the epic heroes can be seen in a lovely wraparound variant cover for the new series. Stephanie Hans' main cover for Runaways #1 features the series' main characters - Nico, Gert, Molly, Victor, Gib, and Doombot - while variant covers by Ejikure and Peach Momoko highlight the missing Karolina Dean as well as Nico and Molly.
