Livewires & Runaways

[Hobgoblin]

Anybody know anything about these two titles starting up next year? I've heard of Runaways, but don't know anything about it. And Livewires I'm assuming is all-new, but looks more like a Manga book, which I'm not a fan of.

Runaways (v.1) was a great book! Easily one of my favorite titles of last year. You can pick up the originals for cheap (I would think), or you can get the "digest-sized" versions for $8.

 

I'm completely stoked about v.2!

Runaways rocked. I definitely reccomend it and I picked up the whole run (1-18) for $17 shipped off ebay. It'd be worth it at twice that price.

Both books are in the February 2005 Marvel Previews.

 

Livewires (#1 of 6)

- "Hollowpoint Ninja. Gothic Lolita. Cornfed. Stem Cell. Social Butterfly. They’re nanobuilt humanform combat mecha, with "smartware" bodies specialized for covert ops and Artificially Intelligent minds programmed for suicidal loyalty. They’re the superhuman products of a top-secret, quasi-governmental R&D program with a unique agenda: namely, to seek out and destroy OTHER top-secret, quasi-governmental R&D programs. And in the ultratech underbelly of a Marvel Universe infested with mad suprageniuses, homebrewed WMDs, and bootlegged alien technologies, they have a lot of work to do…"

Yeah, I read those previews, but it doesn't really sell it to me. The Livewires sounds 100% retarded.

Actually Vaughn has confirmed that this will become an ongoing series after the first six issues.

I'm willing to bet there aren't any big hitters on "Excelsior." It's obviously an X-team, so probably some 2nd string X-Men.

You missed the heavy sarcasm...

[Hobgoblin]

Sorry I do that sometimes. New to these boards and haven't figured out the sarcasm level just yet

Hrm so Im assuming livewires is part of continuity since the guy is in an AIM uniform.
