Runaways #10: Party Time in San Francisco

[ficticons]

This is for ravenous_raven, who requested the page of the young X-Men and the Runaways partying together. Here it is with a little bit of context.

From the story 'Mollifest Destiny' in Runaways #10.

Molly Hayes has answered a telepathic message for all mutants to come to San Francisco.



"Where do mutants come from?"
"Angstville."
XD I love that.

While Molly's with the X-Men, being given a tour of their headquarters, the other Runaways decide to check out the city.





How does it end? Not how Molly first thought it might (a fight).

Such pretty colouring here! Thanks, Christina Strain :). I hope the image quality does it justice, though.

But while the others were clubbing, Molly and Wolverine - her Cyclops-appointed tour guide/chaperone for the day - fall into the hands of someone who wants Molly dead. He's the only survivor of another group - soldiers? mercenaries? anyway, a highly-armed group of men - that "made a play for some of the Pride's territory" eight years ago. The results were disasterous - all of the guy's team were killed except for him, and he was forced to watch because of something that had been done to his eyes; afterwards he couldn't close them, nor could he move or talk. He'd been in that state - for which Molly's parents were apparently responsible - for seven years. Once he'd recovered, he went looking for revenge.

Molly and Logan manage to make it out of the situation alive. However the whole experience - particularly Molly's discovery that while her parents had told her that they loved her, they were also capable of being "cruel and sadistic muderers" who liked killing "[a]nyone who stood in their way. Anyone who crossed them. Sometimes just for being human" (families and children included) - left her feeling uneasy and upset.

Which leads to this:


And that's it for the Runaways' experience(s) with the X-Men.

Hope you liked the scene you asked for, ravenous_raven! :)


For the mods, this is six pages from a 32-page book and a 22-page story.

OKAY LADIES, OKAY

You have breasts. We see them.

Otherwise, pretty art!! And hurray for crossovers that lead to parties.

[sinisterlink]

I find it weird that the one scan has Pixie with quite the rack but in the club scene where she is flying, her chest looks normal.

[greenmask]

She made us hallucinate them!

[sinisterlink]

Well that probably explains why I keep seeing unicorns everywhere.

[lieut_kettch]

She's folded her arms under her breasts, which helps push 'em up.

I can haz No-Prize?

[espanolbot]

Yarr, it be Welsh trickery it be!

[randyripoff]

Funnily enough, I hadn't even noticed them.

[salinea]

I had. But I wasn't complaining :3

[randyripoff]

As I saw them, they didn't really seem out of place. Sure, it's a bit of cheesecake, but it's not Ed Benes inappropriate.

Omg Courtney Crumrin avatar! :D

[turtlefu]

Art is by Sara Pichelli, someone who actually has breasts, so, y'know, exaggerated female body types is not exclusive to males and Ed Benes.

[greenmask]

..Who said they were?

We all made a fuss about Sana Takeda's Heroes for Hire cover, after all.

[badficwriter]

Some of us like her art...

[greenmask]

Okay okay SOME of us made a fuss about that tentacle cover.

[strannik01]

Just because you like her art doesn't mean you can't voice objections about a dubious cover.

[auggie18]

Who ever said it was? Amanda Conners did some wonderfully misproportioned art when she did Power Girl. (Not that it wasn't cute, mind you. Just pretty impossible.)

[strannik01]

Hey, at least those breasts look like they are bound by the laws of gravity. It's sad, but that already counts as better than usual in my book.
