Runaways, Volume 2: Best Friends Forever: 12/27/18

Runaways, Volume 2: Best Friends Forever

Runaways, Volume 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell collects issues 7-12. The Runways have set up home in a hostel / underground bunker and are trying to get back to normal. Molly especially, wants to get on with her life.

The title for this sequence is double edged. First there is Molly trying to be normal in middle school. She has a friend. She has classmates. She has clubs. She can for now forget about being a "D list Avenger."

But it's also a warning. It's the threat of immortality. It's being forever 13. When a gift that's meant for Molly gets into the wrong hands, the truth behind the offer is revealed.

There are other side plots too but it was Molly's arc that kept me reading. The next collection is That Was Yesterday and comes out in April.

Four stars
