9. Runaways Oh my god. I'm just happy to see the picture. I love Ramos' art! The Victorian arc is making me so happy, because it's all gorgeous! But the love scenes aren't so good, so I guess I know what you mean.

25. I love that movie. I don't care if it isn't accurate to history or 'the Odyssey'. It's just awesome.

28. I. LOVE. YOU.

that is all.

I wish this had been posted. It could totally be a secret.

Ramos isn't doing the art right now. He's picking it up with the next arc, IIRC. (Michael Ryan is on art right now.)

heh. Whoops. And I was so close to sounding like I knew what I was talking about XD Thanks for the correction.

No worries. Sometimes it's hard to keep everyone straight. I'm just counting down the issues until Whedon gets the hell off my book, so he my eye on it.

Is he leaving it too?

Yes. I think he has two issues left (until the end of the arc-- if he ever puts out another issue). Then Terry Moore, of "Strangers in Paradise," is picking it up. Which could be either really good or really bad, depending on how much you like his tendency to ramble.

Either way, it's going to be a totally different comic. I can't imagine that'll end up so nicely for fans. Big changes in staff don't usually play out so well for comics.

I like Whedon, but if he has anything in his hands long enough, he starts to mess around with it too much. So maybe it's good that he's moving on. Just changing both artist and writer at the same time seems a little drastic.

Well, they already did the big turn-over when BKV and Alphona handed it to Whedon and Ryan. So it's not such a huge deal. I'm hoping they'll bump up the quality a little, though. I'm not a huge fan of Whedon's comic writing. I liked the Victorian idea, I like what's going on with Chase, the rest of it is sort of meh.

Don't worry too much about not knowing this stuff. I'm just a big ol' nerd and will keep on talking until someone tells me to shut up. XD

I wish there was a little more going on with Nico than her relatioships. It seems like those are pretty much what define her character in any arc, and that bugs me.

I love the Victorian stuff. I'm a huge history dork, so it was pretty much the most exciting thing ever. All the situations are fantastic, but sometimes I feel like the characters get a little less attention because of it. Eh. I'm too picky with stuff I love XD

I want to be less ignorant and read more comics, but I'm so bad at keeping up with everything! and there's so much to read! I need to get really really rich so I can buy up all the anthologies for everything and get caught up and educated XD

WOW. I'm being ignorant again, because I for some reason thought Whedon was the original creator.

hurr hurr hurr. I should just look at the pretty pictures and maybe stop talking XD Sorry.

ryuutchi said, it's Michael Ryan who did the art for the Victorian arc, not Ramos. Ramos hasn't started yet (I think). This (http://humbertoramos.com/blog/?p=103) is his first piece of official Runaways art; he's already said there are going to be some changes to what's pictured there, but most people don't like his style, period.

I actually like him (though I don't necessarily think he's the best choice for Runaways). But I do understand why so many people are upset about him coming on board after an artist like Ryan, since it is such a different style.

Even worse than coming on after Michael Ryan-- coming on after Michael Ryan and Adrian Alphona. D: I miss Alphona.

Yeah - as far as I'm concerned, Alphona is easily the best artist the book's seen yet. I feel like he set up such a nice tone for the book, both stylized and realistic. Ryan seems to be closer to one extreme (realistic) and Ramos is nearer the other (stylized), so I can see why the transition from Ryan to Ramos seems to jarring for most people, while the transition from Alphona to Ryan was a bit smoother.

If only Runaways could steal Stuart Immonen from Ultimate Spider-man, all would be right with the world. He would be so awesome at drawing them.

I love Immonen-- I'm not sure he'd be the best artist for the title though. Pasqual Ferry's a better fit, IMO.

But really, I'd take Michael Ryan over Ramos any day. Ramos' eyes are so WEIRD.

heheh. Whoops.

I can see why people are upset. It's a totally different style. I think I like it, but the older styles were so much more realistic and beautiful, they really made the comic seem cinematic. It looks like Ramos' going a little more cartoony with the characters, which would be a little more okay if the style for the series hadn't already been so firmly established.

I just noticed that karoline is wearing crocs. I can't decide if I think that's hilarious or horrible. I think it depends what color the crocs are XDDDD
