Best possible outcome as far as writers. I don't read New Excalibur so I can't really say about the art. It looks decent though, I can see Ryan's style on Runaways.
Ryan also drew some stuff for New X-Men Academy that was pretty good.
All-in-all this is good news, although I never imagined that Marvel would put a "superstar" writer on such a small book.

Expect your back issues to be more valuable as scores of Whedon fans start looking for copies.

I love Joss Whedon, but I hate, hate, hate, most of his fans.
This hatred is based off of the last few years of comic conventions where I was forced to put up with those fucking "browncoats."

I think that they're actually whedon's private militia, and when he get sick enough of george bush, he's going to let it slip that the white house is responsible for firefly's cancellation.
it's unfair to characterize newsarama posters like that.
i mean, look at this one:
CHUCK AUSTEN ALSO TURNED ICEMAN INTO A CLOSET HOMO, MADE 1980'S GERMANY INTO SOME GOTHIC VICTORIAN SCENE, AND HAD THE X-MEN FIGHT WOLVES AND PRIESTS WITH DISINTEGRATING COMMUNION WAFERS....
BUT HE GAVE US SAMMY THE SQID-BOY AND SLUTTY NURSE, SO I LOVE HIM DEARLY!!!!!!!

In his defense, Sammy Pare really was awesome.
Golly gee Mr. Juggernaut... it would be ever so magical if you were a good guy... doesn't my fishy-face just melt your cold heart?

man, I liked Squid Boy. and Juggernaut is awesome.
Actually, I did too... but it WAS a little hackney the way that whole thing came about... it was a good though, I do admit that.

the annie plot was pretty lame, though. except for her and northstar's catty friendship.
Annie: I gave you a sponge bath.
Havok: I was the nexus of all realities and I fought the Beyonder, the Goblin Queen and Dracula at the same time just like five minutes ago. And despite the fact that I've spent most of my life being all about either Polaris or my douchebag brother's castoffs, let's get married.

That, and they never touched on the last scene with Annie's son in the car... what was that about?

I'm intrigued by this 'baseball bat wielding molly on planet hulk' thing...it has potential.
One thing I hope to get out of Whedon's run is a bit more interaction with other Marvel Universe characters.
While I don't want them spending every issue teaming up with the X-Men, I do find that some of my favorite arcs are the ones dealing with other superfolk. (Both Cloak and Dagger arcs come to mind).

Unfortunately, they're all going to be pretty one-note unless the gang gets over it's 'fuck you, old people' thing.
'guys, spider-man is an adult, so he obviously wants to screw us over.'

As much as I like seeing team-ups, I don't know about this. I liked the Cloak and Dagger + Runaways in NY thing, but I think I like the Runaways on their own underground stuff more. We don't really get to see them pro-actively take on the baddies as a group. They get thrown into a lot of shit, rather than saying "lets go right some wrongs" which I'd kind of like to see. They did the whole Victor thing, but that was somewhat as a result of them getting info from the future.

I dunno, it hasn't been a problem thus far, and really, if you were those kids would you trust any adult?

What number is Runaway's up to, anyway? I collected the first arc of the series, then stopped... if Whedon is coming on I should probably fill in the gaps...

Due to it's connections to The Runaways, I bring you what appears to be the cover for The Loners' first issue, shown in this week's Joe Fridays at Newsarama.

I really liked the free comic book day book, art and all.

If any of you ever posts something like that on this forum I will personally ban you.

But then, he's probably a great deal more grim now.

I think it's issue 19.
I say "not completely on-topic" because he's there to talk about Pride of Baghdad (which by an astonishing coincidence comes out tomorrow!).
I recommend starting a new thread for it.
I really don't feel comfortable making a thread over something so small.
I guess it's from spending so much time in G&T.
Make the thread.
This isn't G&T. We like threads here.
What's that, now?

Though after that horrible artist on YA/Runaways, almost anything looks good.
They went through this in the free comic book day special, which was a Runaways/X-Men crossover.
Basically, she's all "no I don't wanna" and then they fight each other and Emma tells everyone to back the hell off and then the X-Men leave.
