Seems like Marvel hasn't forgotten about the kids after all.

Since the most recent Runaways series ended in 2009, fans have wondered — and asked at about every Marvel convention panel — where the cult-favorite characters would pop up next.

With news from this past July's Comic-Con International: San Diego that the cast of Avengers Academy was moving to Los Angeles and that the book would include more of Marvel's teen heroes, it seemed like an appearance from the west coast-based Runaways was only a matter of time.

I'm really psyched to hear this. I am enjoying Avengers Academy, and Gage is one of the more underappreciated writers at Marvel (I challenge anyone not to get a little choked up by the "The Ballad of Johnny Guitar" in Avengers Initiative.)

...Gage: They’ll be pretty much as they were in the final issues of their own book. They ain’t broke, so I’m not gonna fix ‘em. Well, there’s one thing I think is not quite right, and that’ll be addressed in the story...

Any guesses? Gert can't return because Dead Is Dead, but how about Old Lace (whose potential as a character I got since I'd already read Raptor Red and get even more now that I've seen How to Train Your Dragon)? OTOH, it's less of a stretch for the already-still-alive Xavin to return.

...And for a bit of a link to the past, David Lafuente, who used to be the RUNAWAYS cover artist, is doing our covers for these two issues!...

Cool!

Does this look like a costume-wearers vs. casual-clothing-wearers showdown to anyone else?
