Runaways #27 Preview

Comicbook Resources has 3 preview pages up for this issue. Quite aside from the coolest cover ever for this issue (which I've already posted), the blurb is interesting too


"Superstar scribe Joss Whedon and fan favorite penciller Michael Ryan continue their critically acclaimed "run" on Marvel's hottest teen team in Runaways # 27! Under their tenure, Whedon & Ryan have taken the Runaways to New York and introduced them to some very important people, such as the Kingpin and the Punisher. Now the team is taking a giant step backwards ... to 1907! So what's in 1907? Tons of new characters! Both friendly and unfriendly faces from Runaways issues past! Action! Love! All this and comedy to boot! Also, meet a new character that will become a Runaway!

Critics continue to praise Runaways, with Richard Renteria of Newsarama.com explaining, "Whedon and Ryan continue their successful run on the title and take no shortcuts in delivering a great story."

"Whedon presents some brilliant ideas that make me really excited for what's around the corner," gushed Richard George of IGN.Com.

You've already seen Whedon & Ryan take the Runaways where they've never been before ... and that's just the tip of the iceberg! Strap yourself in for the more surprising Runaways story yet, "Dead End Kids" continues in Runaways #27!"
