Runaways
Runawayswas created in 2003 by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona with stunning cover artistry drawn by Jo Chen . The book was offset after a bare eighteen issues , but even that could n’t keep the young heroes down . Seriously , Marvel upraise the comic due to high swop sales agreement in 2005 and most of the characters are still live and well in the Marvel Universe . They can currently be seen in the most late comics , written by Rainbow Rowell and drawn by Kris Anka . The original tale follows a mathematical group of stripling who team up to face off against their parents who are actual supervillains .
It ’s worth noting that , while Hulu’sRunawayshas captured the essence of the comics , the serial publication has kept little beyond this premise . In fact , the show and the cartoon strip have diverged so completely that any arc showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage choose will probably be very loose adaptations . There are still plenty of awesomeRunawaysstories to assure and hopefully , and the series will have plenty of old age to over which to unfold them . Much like the first two seasons , the show ’s third outing should mostly pull back from Vaughan and Alphona ’s unbelievable run .
Lost and Found
IfRunawaysadapts one story from the funnies for its 3rd season , let ’s all trust that it ’s this one . write by Vaughan and drawn by Takeshi Miyazawa , “ Lost and Found ” features Cloak and Dagger , who presently have their own serial publication on Freeform . Although the shows are on dissimilar networks , both the showrunners and the stars have express interest in a crossover . Aside from that , the time of year stopping point ofCloak and Dagger ’s sophomore outing left plenty of room for the two to head to Los Angeles .
In this narration — which was the first risible appearance for Cloak and Dagger in quite some time — Tandy and Tyrone confront the Runaways because they ’d heard that the Thomas Kyd had kidnapped Molly . They wind up on the same side , but sadly , the Pride later wipes their memories of the entire skirmish .
The Good Die Young
Because the show has diverge so much from the beginning material , “ The Good Die Young ” would be render quite differently . However , with the nestling ramping up to crusade the Gibborum in season 3 , it would seem that the show could draw at least some aspiration from this arc .
This chronicle featured the shocking Book of Revelation that Alex was a double-crosser and theRunawaysseason 2 finale made it clear that one of the kids is host to an alien , unbeknownst to the residue of them . The last battle sees the end of the Pride and even features a Captain America cameo , which obviously could n’t come about in the show .
True Believers
This narrative kicked off the 2nd volume of Vaughan and Alphona ’s unforgettable run . After defeating the Pride , the team takes the fight to the streets superhero fashion . Their lifespan are hold further into chaos when a future version of Gert shows up . She promptly cash in one’s chips , but not before warning them that they need to kill Victor Mancha before he becomes the supervillain , Victorious .
The show explore Molly ’s brief go as a vigilante , but did n’t go too far beyond it . Plus , with time travel having been already inclose into the serial publication by Chase ’s pop , this story electric arc becomes a distinct possible action . However , it ’s unlikely that Ultron would be involved , though he is in the comic strip , sinceRunawayshas minuscule connection to the larger MCU . Victor has been a critical member of the squad for quite some time , so time of year 3 seems like a undecomposed time to get him in the game . Plus , an coming into court from former teen superhero documentation group , Excelsior , also introduced in this electric arc - would be an awing plus as well .
Star-Crossed
Some rendering of this story may already be in the works because the series did take to introduce Xavin towards the end of season 2 . Of of course , the character is not a Skrull , but was otherwise pretty similar to their amusing vis-a-vis . In the comics , Xavin first appeared as male , only shift into a distaff form after discovering that Karolina was attracted to woman . The trade union between the two was signify to unify their race , who had been at warfare for quite some time .
sure events of “ Star - Crossed ” have already been congeal in motion onRunaways , but the narrative will recreate out differently in the show due to the romance between Karolina and Nico ; the latter is straight in the comics . This will definitely make Karolina ’s decision of whether or not to be with Xavin a far more complex issue .
East Coast/West Coast
“ East Coast / West Coast ” is another arc that comprise Cloak and Dagger . After the former ’s memories were restored , he convinced the Runaways to accompany him to New York to help clear his name . Dagger had been snipe and he was the lead defendant . Thanks to the deficiency of connection between the Marvel Cinematic Universe television display and the movies , this arc could never meet out the path that it does in the strip . That being said , it would be amazing to see Nico knock out Spider - Man and Molly punch Wolverine through a wall . unhappily , we almost sure never will .
Parental Guidance
“ Parental Guidance ” could n’t really happen in the Hulu series until the Runaways successfully defeat their parents . The taradiddle feature a teenage version of Geoffrey Wilder who seem long after the grownup version of him , not to mention his Word , Alex , were already dead . He constitute a new loop of the Pride , bringing the fight to the Runaways and even accept mastery of Victor . This bow was both natural action - pack and full of twists and turns . However , it also include one of the most soul - crushing mo inRunawayshistory : the death of Gertrude Yorkes . lose the sports fan best-loved eccentric was devastating , not only for Chase , but for readers as well .
Dead Means Dead
This arc sees Chase struggling with the demise of Gert and doing everything he can to bestow her back . He had the help of Old Lace , whose telepathic link Gert had transferred to Chase before she died . Chase was n’t the only one wreck with grief . An elderly shopkeeper who ca n’t let go of his gone married woman determine himself in possession of a magic talisman , which goes about as well as it seems like it would . He transmute into a giant monster . Chase try on to give Lotus to the Gibborium in interchange for Gert ’s replication . Lotus was a part of Geoffrey Wilder ’s “ New Pride , " but she was n’t in on exactly what that mean — it ’s a long story . In the end , Chase could n’t go through with it .
Live Fast
The final arc from Vaughan and Alphona by all odds left reader want more . Chase attempted to sacrifice himself for revive Gert , only to have the Gibborim refuse his offer . They sample to consume Nico rather ; seemingly , Chase was n’t innocent enough . However , Victor and Molly enter for the win , and the rails finally defeat their long - clock time foes . Of course , the end of the story , which sees the Hostel breached not by only Iron Man , but an entire team of S.H.I.E.L.D. federal agent as well , would not make the cut . Vaughan wrapped up the story perfectly and his work on the book , as well as Alphona ’s , remains unparalleled .
Dead End Kids
With graphics by Michael Ryan , “ Dead End kidskin ” was written byRunawayssuperfan Joss Whedon . The auteur had antecedently sent a letter to Marvel begging them not to offset the serial with issue eighteen . When Vaughan stepped down , Whedon took his situation for a individual arc .
This story sees the team track paths with both the Punisher and Kingpin . Both actors are no longer appearing in their respective Netflix display , so who ’s to say they could n’t cameo on the Hulu series ? It ’s a recollective shot , but fans would be overjoyed to see either character rejoinder . The Runaways also go to 1907 NYC and wind up up bring home a souvenir ; new team fellow member Klara Prast .
Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways
Although the ship has certainly sailed on theCivil Waraspect of this report , a team - up between the Young Avengers and the Runaways would be a aspiration come true for fans . Of course , these adolescent heroes are too important to only be side characters inRunaways . This would only really work if the Young Avengers got a TV series of their own .
Kevin Feige has posit that seeds have been found for the team to go in the MCU , though whether their introduction will be on the big or small cover is unknown . ARunaways / Young Avengersstory plainly is n’t bechance , but it would be really cool if it could .
