Victor's officially back!... Sort of.

Also, are they officially calling themselves "the Runaways" now? When did that happen?

[shadowpsykie]

it's more they were called that by others and it stuck. it had to eventually

[lordultimus]

Were they really called that so much? I remember "the Pride's kids" and "those kids in L.A." getting much more mileage.

[thehood]

is it weird that Chase is walking around with Victor's head? It's weird, right?

Especially since he doesn't know he's alive again yet.

[cyberghostface]

He's trying to repair him.

[thehood]

Still something you walk around with, certainly not when visiting a friend's grandmother.

[cyberghostface]

She wasn’t bothered, she even offered to help.

[thehood]

You're missing the point. A severed head is not a normal thing to walk around with.

[cyberghostface]

Neither is a dinosaur.

[deepspaceartist]

I mean, he really should at least put it inside of something. I don't imagine they want the sort of attention that a guy walking around with a severed head tied to his backpack tends to draw.

This looks like a big improvement over earlier scans.

Are they hinting that Chase has powers or is this just another hint that he's much smarter than he pretends to be?

[shadowpsykie]

well. it's possible, with his parents, he was genetically engineered to be smarter, or something. or that smarts are considered powers now (or he's at the level where they are). i would REALLY love to see his smarts be put to the test. and i kinda love how the show is showing his smarts early on.

[balbanes]

I think he has Forge-like abilities. Something along the lines of an intuitive understanding of technology.

Purple/pink glowy eyed cat: Molly's Parents?

[shadowpsykie]

i think the Granny is a telepath...

[shadowpsykie]

please don't let Molly's Granny be evil.... there are so few supportive grandparents in comics... you cabn't place all that burden on aunt may. her heart can't take it.

[balbanes]

So will they address Victor's actions in "The Vision," or just pretend like those issues never happened? Like Nico's suddenly regenerated arm.

[cyberghostface]

I’d have no problem with either being ignored but next issue is Nico-centric and Victor just woke up so they might still be explained.

[balbanes]

TBH, I don't care if Nico's arm is never explained. Avengers Arena was a steaming pile of horse poop and the sooner it gets retconned away, the better. But The Vision was great, so I'd like that to stay in continuity.

Victor's "whether to be" line hints that The Vision will be addressed. He was happy to die in that title, after all. Why else would he show hesitation in coming "back," if not because he was still processing those events?

[thehood]

I don't think they are retconning Avengers Arena though. They did acknowledge it as being part of the reason the Runaways aren't together.

But that's all it's getting.

[thehood]

I don't see why, The Vision series was really good.

[cyberghostface]

The treatment of Victor wasn’t.

[md84]

Yeah, making him a vibranium junkie who accidentally murders his nephew...yeesh.

[thehood]

Well they mentioned his death, so they aren't ignoring The Vision series.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

So are they from the Ultimate universe now, or...?

[stubbleupdate]

I think it's just a stylistic choice with the lettering.
