Avengers Academy versus New X-Men

[salinea]

The Avengers land on Avengers Academy, bringing the X-Men students recruits (along with the X-Club and Sebastian Shaw) with them for safe keeping while everyone tries to find Hope. There is much awkwardness on the topic of how to deal with them. Laura isn't very happy with the position Logan put her in.

Laura and Sooraya re-aquaint themselves with one another.







Hercules to the rescue!



Oh, Laurie, you're not fooling anyone.

Then Loa and Mettle bond over surfing



d'awww.

And Finesse and Laura do some bonding as well:





Very nice issue overall. Looking forward to its development. Gage seems to be at his best in events tie in it seems, last time I enjoyed this title as much was during Fear, Itself.

welcome to the comm!!

I've no idea if Laurie knows about the Runaway, but any super team that is around has at least some sort of fame, so perhaps she has heard of them like this (and from the other X-kids).

Thanks for the warm welcome. :)

I think the Runaways are likely the least famous super team there is, since they actively try to stay below the radar. Avengers, X men, Fantastic four and such have press conferences and deal with authorities, the Runaways not so much.
But it is true that everybody knows about them by now. The Avengers tried to deal with them, the young avengers and Cloak and Dagger worked with them, and the X men are aware of them because they have one of the remaining mutants with them.
Anyway, as you said, it makes sense the other X kids talked about them.

It's really sad how much I miss the Runaways that their mere mention makes me intrigued.
