    That was a typo, and I honestly don't know the difference between the two anyway.

    I always figured she had a kind of tactile telekinesis thing going on, like Superboy used to.

    Um, psion is psychic. Psion is just short for psionic, which is a sci-fi synonym for psychic. Usually psionic has the connotation of a broader range of mental powers whereas psychic is often read as just referring to telepathy or presience.

    In other words, telepaths and telekinetics are just two variations of psionics.

    Her parents were both psychic, she mentally activates her abilities, she pulled Cloak's cloak off (which shouldn't be possible by strength alone), and there are a few examples of her knowing things she shouldn't have known (Chamber wasn't Chamber, how Chase survived the first issue of the Whedon run).

    She also knew, or guessed or whatever, that Chase would bring back some cool weapons when they were in the 1920s.

    I always liked Alex, he did a good job at keeping the team together in the first volume, and even later on when he's not there the other Runaways acknowledge that they things don't go as well as when he was around. I hope they bring him back in some capacity in this next run of the series.
    I was happy to see that he existed still, even if it was in that white empty space.

    Something I always liked is how you'd get snippets on how Molly wasn't really the stereotypical teeny bopper, even though she portrays that persona when she's around the others. Every once in awhile she would say something and you'd know she was way smarter than she let on.

    I love the part where she's slaughtering Xavin at Risk and he's shouting abuse at the country she's controlling.

    So I met Jo Chen at an Udon signing and she had some prints of a few Runaways covers, I ended up buying 2. She wasn't doing commissions that day so there went my chance to get her to draw Nico for me. She told me she'd be at AnimeUSA which will be a few blocks from my new place so I might get a chance then.

    Is there a trade out collecting Whedon's run? I ended up losing track of which issues I have and I can't check now since they're in a different state and I'd rather not re-buy stuff I already own.

    I have the other 3 hardcovers so I'll probably get the hc so they look uniform on my shelf.

    I think it's a premiere HC though, cause it's only 6 issues.

    So it's not oversized like the others.

    it's okay, i can see deleted posts, so i know what you're saying.

    i think that cover artists must have a "no fat chicks" clause in their contracts, with exceptions for amanda waller

    Of course Waller can go sit on a food processor. Fuck that bitch.

    That preview was pretty cool. The art style looks pretty cool, and Molly as always was freaking adorable.

    I have a feeling that he's just saying it to somehow connect with Chase. Considering that there still perhaps is some underlining animosity towards Xavin from the others, I think he's doing whatever he can to fit in, which includes being in male form when with the other guys. Also he could be just saying it to be in character with his current form.

    He has been running around with the others for a while now. It doesn't really take long for a person to pick up on colloquialisms of those around them.

    For instance, I call all males "Sir" when I address them, not sure where I picked it up. But soon after I did all my friends started doing it too.

    Brian K. Vaughn sucked me into his world with Y. I had nothing else to read as Y had just ended, and I was all caught up on my monthlys so I needed something new to read. I found the digest versions of Runaways, and noticed that Vaughn was the creative master behind this little bit of pirate gold too. within a month I've bought issues 1-5, and I haven't looked back. I wish I were a Runaway!

    I'm pretty sure he was making fun of Chase, you guys.
