Runaways #25

The Runaways are heading somewhere new — this issue plants the team squarely in New York City, with the Statue of Liberty rising unmistakably behind the full ensemble: Nico, Karolina, Gert, Chase, Molly, their dinosaur Old Lace, and a skull-faced figure all rendered in Jo Chen's beautifully warm, painterly style. Writer Joss Whedon and artist Michael Ryan kick off the "Dead-End Kids" arc with a cover that feels both wistful and charged, the characters' expressions carrying the quiet tension of kids far from home. It's a striking chapter in one of Marvel's most heartfelt team books.
