It wasn't great, but it ultimately proved to be better than I expected it to be from the first issue. Oct 09, Venus Maneater rated it did not like it Shelves: comics. Hysterical, over-the-top, ridiculous. Hate the rubber faces, hate the ridiculous dialogue. Wanted to dip myself in Runaways again, but this isn't scratching that itch. Dec 30, Murphy rated it it was amazing Shelves: five-stars , marvel , reviewed. After seeing how many of my favorite characters were in this comic I immediately purchased it and thankfully it lived up to my hopes. Since it's part of the Secret Wars the events that happen in this short series aren't really in line with the rest of the Marvel universe and the characters may not be the same versions as the ones we're familiar with, but it's the dynamics between them that cause reading each issue to be enjoyable. If you don't mind disconnecting from typical canon and you aren't After seeing how many of my favorite characters were in this comic I immediately purchased it and thankfully it lived up to my hopes. If you don't mind disconnecting from typical canon and you aren't a person usually annoyed by teenage characters, you'll probably have a good time reading this, I definitely did. Nov 28, Cassie-la rated it liked it Shelves: reads. Much like Thors, the new Runaways series really has nothing on the original Runaways, dreamed up by Brian K. Vaughan and later helmed by Joss Whedon. While I appreciated that Noelle Stevenson and crew continued to bring diversity into the series, it fell sort of flat. Dec 15, Tiferet rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics. Queer girls! Bloody battles! More queer girls! Mar 09, Blythe Penland rated it it was amazing. I thought this graphic novel was an amazing Secret War. I wish there was more because only four issues was not nearly enough, but maybe their brevity is what made them so good. I'll be honest, the only reason I read Battleworld was because I was under the impression that it was part of the Runawa I thought this graphic novel was an amazing Secret War. I'll be honest, the only reason I read Battleworld was because I was under the impression that it was part of the Runaways series. And it sort of is since it's got Molly and the plotline is a group of teenagers finding out their authority figures were evil and then running away. Basically the same premise, but still extremely well-written. Not sure what exactly who Doom was or why the world is in the crapper, but context wasn't necessarily needed because the characters defined the story. I liked that each new character we were introduced to was given a little green placard to explain who they were and what they could do. I hadn't seen the pairing of Jubilee and Sanna coming, but after all the tension between them, it kind of put me at ease. I was sad to see Pixie killed, but now Molly can be a Night Witch, at least. It was weird to see Ty and Tandy's powers switched, and also them being siblings. Kind of threw me off, but they were still awesome per usual. I'm not clear on why you would have a Final Exam for students every year where they have to kill each other. I'm not sure that that roots out the weakest or the disobedient. I thought the addition of the Supervision Unit, Emily, was nice. It was sad to see Sanna stay behind, but that's what made her reunion with Jubilee all the more sweet. I shipped Delphyne and Amadeus. Valeria Von Doom was an interesting character. She's the headmaster of the school and is somehow a genius and the daughter of Lord Doom, but she still is obviously a child. She was bragging to Bucky about how she lost a tooth. I mean, what the heck? I was proud of Tandy for teleporting most of the Runaways. She was stronger than she thought, even if she had Cloak's powers. I felt bad for Amadeus when they found out that his parents had been killed by Lord Doom. Delphyne sacrificing her arm for Amadeus was crazy brave, but kind of ironic that Bucky was the one who did it. Fortunately, she had the power to grow it back. Tandy and Ty broadcasting to the whole school was brilliant and hilarious. I was glad to see that some of the kids had been saved from a life or a death at the institute. I love that Molly appointed Ty as general. He's good at giving orders. Bucky letting the Runaways go was the best thing ever. In that moment, I was so proud of the Winter Soldier from knowing right and wrong. The worst part, however, was his death that resulted from his disobedience. And the scene with Valeria trying to stop the units from killing Bucky was heartbreaking. She obviously cared for him a lot and, after all, she is just a little girl. Molly is always a great comic relief. When all the Runaways start to pair up, Molly asks Skaar if he's going to get gooshy and they fistbump. And I am living. Molly has a new bestie that will protect her and I couldn't be happier. So, overall, one of my favorite comics and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

When a fight breaks out in the halls before the exams a group of students find themselves thrust together as a team…and are about to uncover a big secret about the Institute and what passing their test really means. The issues feature art by Sanford Greene and Noelle Stevenson. I read a lot of the Runaways on their first run. The series was fun, funny, and even shocking at points. Battleworld: Runaways goes more along the lines of fun despite having deaths , and it features a hodgepodge of characters pulled from multiple areas. The comic book moves at a lightning pace. With so much going on, the character relationships seem left behind and that was always a joy of the Runaways and teen books in general. Like a lot of weird team books, there are good characters in this book. It is a good combo that seems a bit wasted. The back-up issue of Secret Wars: Secret Love is kind of fun. It is a anthology issue with a bunch of short stories which tie in to some of the other Secret Wars books and parts of it were reprinted in other collections. It is working under a tight schedule being a limited series that has to be finished by the time Secret Wars is finished. I like books with teens since teens build natural drama, but if you enjoy Runaways, you should probably stick to the originals. Nov 06, Eli rated it really liked it Shelves: , marvel-comics. I didn't expect this to be that good because the average rating is about a 3. I haven't read Secret Wars yet but I'm slightly familiar with the plot and I understand for the most part what kind of world Battleworld is, so I thankfully didn't go in blind. But this is only my second time reading about the Runaways. And judging from some of the other reviews, these aren't the original Runaways either. But they're still likable in that shallow, "there are a lot of I didn't expect this to be that good because the average rating is about a 3.
