Runaways #25 Review

Writer: Rainbow Rowell / Artist: Andres Genolet / Marvel Rainbow Rowell really decided to flex her writing skills and interconnectivity to kick off this new arc titled, “Canon Fodder.” We find out who the guardian angel in tights and helmet is, while the team grapples with the revelation of a crime-fighting duo operating right under their noses! Rowell and Genolet also decide to give themselves some new material to work with as the Runaways are forced to assume their group name once again. Canon Fodder First off, let me sound like a parrot as I repeat what seems to be the most obvious fact when reading anything by this author. Rainbow Rowell is so damn good at getting character relationships and dynamics right. The phone call between Nico and Chase alone tells you everything you need to know about their sibling-esque shared leadership flow. The reactions to Nico and Karolina’s skin tight and full on shinobi costumes are a look into everyone’s genuine feelings. Molly is beyond hype that some of the big sister figures in her life are out there kicking ass and figuring themselves out. Gert’s takes one look at Karolina’s body suit and drops the most severe eye roll west of the Mississippi. Victor couldn’t see the superhero costumes if they slapped him in the face because of Chase’s Gert tattoo burning holes in his circuitry. It was quite comical.
