5.0 out of 5 stars A Blast of a Tie In with Gorgeous Art
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018
Verified Purchase
Civil War's tie ins definitely vary in quality and thankfully this is one of the event's winners, perhaps mainly due to the fact that story is rather self contained. When the Young Avengers hear about the Runaways on the West Coast, the super team decides to track down their fellow teenage heroes and protect them from Iron Man's pro-registration forces. The Runaways don't know who to trust (the last time they met the Avengers Captain America tried to put them all in foster care), but when half of both teams are captured by SHIELD and turned over the mad scientists at the Cube holding facility (who have designs of their own on the super powered aliens of the groups like Hulking and Karolina Dean) the two teams have to work together to save their friends. Again, the fact that the book is self contained really helps out in the long run as you don't need to know every bit of Civil War trivia to enjoy the story. Even better, the story is solid and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous. Seeing the two young teams interact is a blast and makes this a must read for any Young Avenger/Runaways fans.

A great edition to any Young Avenger or Runaways collection. The illustrations are a little funny, but the visuals are what one would come to expect from an action packed series from Marvel.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable crossover between two of Marvel's young superteams.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2008
The Young Avengers and the Runaways are two of Marvel's more prominent teenaged superhero teams, and the many similarities between them prompted calls for a crossover. In the midst of Marvel's "Civil War" event, those calls were answered; the purpose of this miniseries is twofold: first, two plug "Runaways", a perpetually low-selling title; and second, to bridge the gap between the first and second volumes of "Young Avengers" (in this later task it was a failure, through no fault of the creative team, because of the protracted delays that have bedevilled the Young Avengers since the summer of 2006; as I write this, we are only now getting new material, and even that is another miniseries designed to further bridge the gap). The creative team is Zeb Wells and Stefano Caselli, who are generally speaking adequate; Wells has the feel of both teams down quite well, and Caselli's art, while it takes some getting used to (and isn't especially youthful), is enjoyable.

Storywise, the Civil War is basically a shoestring to have the teams meet and interact, before they rescue their kidnapped members from the dastardly clutches of SHIELD. Wells is one of many writers who doesn't give the pro-Reg side a fair shake, although he does come up with some quite hilarious bits, such as SHIELD's "adjusted public sympathy rating" which governs the level of force they employ against unregistered heroes (robots are okay to trash, but not kids). The two series have a huge cast, well over a dozen characters, so Wells focusses in on a few of the characters who have logical connections; the two Skrull characters, Teddy and Xavin; the two robots, Vision and Victor; and Chase, Molly, and Speed, in a plot that follows up on the death of a Runaway in the preceding story in that title. There are bits and pieces for most others, with only Patriot and Hawkeye II (especially the latter) really not having much at all. A particular favourite subplot/running joke was Stature's interest/concern for Victor, and the Vision's annoyance at this; Wells presumably has read the various fan observances of Cassie's taste in men. There is also the introduction into the Marvel Universe proper of Marvel Boy, from Grant Morrison's miniseries of the same name, and Wells handles him quite well too.

If there is a real complaint about this, it is that, while enjoyable, the Young Avengers ultimately turned out to have far more important status quo changes forced upon them by the Civil War, changes that were not really addressed in any concerted fashion for a year and a half or more, and, looking back, it might have been preferable to get something that examined their status with their parents, and (especially) their reaction to Cassie's defection later on. All the same, this is a very enjoyable, isolated adventure for both teams, well worth getting for fans of either or both.

Love the Civil War series and this book fits nicely into it. Not necessary for the ongoing storyline of the Young Avengers but definetly a good read nonetheless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the main series
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a decent tie in for Civil War, but it isn't really as good as the first two volumes (8 books of trades) of the main series. That said, it was better than the third volume (last three trades) of the main series, so it has that going for it. Worth picking up if you either want all of Civil War's tie-ins or really enjoyed the main Runaways series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crossover at last
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2008
Verified Purchase
It was inevitable that Runaways and Young Avengers would get their own Civil war stance (as I write this, another Runaways/Young Avengers crossover is on the comic book shelf), so naturally these two teams team up--one the generic teen superheroes who are pretty comfortable in their marvel-ness and the other the un-generic teen Runaways who are trying to make up for their evil super-parents crimes who are at odds with the marvel universe.

The problem? The story feels more GEARED towards the Young Avengers, its firmly set in marvel-dom, with a familar superhero plotline yet the backstory feels alien and half-explained--this isn't bad per say, I'm not a reader of reader of Young Avengers myself so I was unfamilar with the characters and their world--so great of Young Avenger fans. But the reason this does not work is because--simply put, the Runways easily STEAL THE SHOW in character drama issues and in comedy yet don't hog the limelight as much as the young avengers.

Another annoyence was the humour of the Runways was done half-heartadly--the werid dialogue that makes the Runaways unique was noteably turned down a tad. Which didn't fit--it was still there, but not as much as I'd have liked it to be.

Also, Xavin seems to remain in her male form for a great deal of the story (she is confused by her gender roles at this point--but noteably spends most of her time in her female form), whether this was done with intent or not--it somehow felt as if the story was marking down on Karolina's overt homosexuality. Which made the story seem uncomfortable.

HOWEVER:

This is not as epic as the other Civil War issues out there, but a notebale great addition to the collection--Runaway fans and Young Avenger fans will appreciate it more--and its nice to see Runaways included in the Civil War stances.

The new crossover comic has Young Avengers and Runaways again, but this time wisely FOCUSES more on the Runaways this time and makes the Young Avengers take the backseat (hopefully this doesn't sound favorist of me!) But the story is also more fleshed out and formal introductions have already been made.

Overall, its worth buying this book for collections sake.
