Also, speaking of non-sequiturs, THE TWIST in the first Runaways series totally floored me, so that earned BKV 10 years in my book where he can do whatever he wants.

but really the ditko issues are still seriously creepo otherwordly visionary and totally ESSENTIAL and you cld colour em in YRSELF
i have fond memories of the 80s run by Roger Stern, Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin - typically tight Stern plotting, Marshall Rogers pissing around w/ crude colour overlays, lots of insane detail and porno 'tash

I'm sure they talk that way. The reference feels wrong, though, and that's the third time a character uses the "I'm/they're gonna go all [cultural, political, or historical reference] on them/us" within a dozen or so pages, which makes the entire line just annoying as hell. I don't know, Vaughan needs to learn some new slang, or colloquialisms, or whatever.

I read the last issue yesterday, which prompted the thread revive. I think it's reasonably solid -- I remember being occasionally confused by the time travel plotting when reading it a month at a time, but I imagine it would be clear on reread. From the first issue I thought 'well this is obviously going to be a movie someday,' but I see Amazon is going to make a tv series out of it.
