ALEX?!?!

Even being dead doesn't save Runaways from piss-poor treatment now, apparently.

The writer's rationale makes sense.

" Part of [having Alex Wilder as a villain] is my love of the character from the “Runaways.” I’m an old school fan of that book from when it was first coming out, and — I can’t remember exactly what story arc it was from, but there was a story where a voice was guiding the Runaways from some other realm. It turned out it was Alex in a sort of limbo/purgatory state. I latched on to that. It was a really powerful image.

Then Dennis Hopeless brought Alex back in “Avengers Undercover,” and I was like “Oh, great! Alex is back!” He had a bit of a fling with Nico in the series, but that was it. I really like Dennis’ writing, but this was one of those moments where as a writer I went, “There’s so much more you could do with that character.”

Things started coming into place with “Power Man and Iron Fist,” where I wanted a villain that we could really reinvent, could pose a serious threat, and was recognizable to people, but wasn’t clearly defined as a villain, yet. "

So umm why is Felicia in her old costume when she is clearly her evil crime boss self >_>

[speedingtortoise]

Her new costume is at the dry cleaners.

I thought Marvel was purging the remaining Runaways.

Well, I hope you have better luck that then rest of your old team, Alex.

Considering that I'm certain Cottonmouth being a nickname/Stokes the surname is a retcon...

Was Mariah surnamed Dillard before this issue?

[aperturedreams]

Yes, she was, ever since the beginning, I believe.

Thanks! Hadn't seen it mentioned before, hence my curiosity, especially considering the rather different relation between Cornell and the name Cottonmouth until this issue.

"Back from the dead" is just another line in the comics world. You could put it on your resume to show how bad-ass you were: "I survived Hell and the Devil gave me a good recommendation, y'know what I'm sayin'?"
