YMMV / Runaways (2015)

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Premise: The premise of a Runaways series with almost no Runaways alienated a lot of the fans of the old series, and the Anyone Can Die nature of the miniseries makes it hard to get too attached to the new team.
  • Broken Base: Fans of the original "Runaways" balked at the announcement of a new In Name Only version of the series that again involves no input from original creator Brian K. Vaughan and features only one of the original members in its main cast. Other fans liked the miniseries because it featured minor characters with large fanbases (such as Bucky and Jubilee) and because they wanted to support writer ND Stevenson due to their previous works.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Show this comic book to fans of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and they're likely gonna have a chuckle at how many ideas that would be later fleshed out in the show ND Stevenson was giving a try here. Some even call it She-Ra Test Run.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: This miniseries has a bisexual version of Pixie who used to date Jubilee and may have an interest in Dagger. Unfortunately, she dies in the second issue.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: There were people who thought that Sanna is a guy. Comic books really need more body types if a heavier build and short hair can cause this.
