New Runaways Writer
Sep. 6th, 2006 09:30 pmSo, I was thinking about possible new writers for Runaways after BKV leaves, and how things might change in the Runaways dynamic...
Brian Michael Bendis:
Luke Cage: We need to talk.
Nico: How'd you find us?
Luke: Wolverine.
Nico: Wolverine?
Luke: Smelled you.
Chase: Smelled us?
Luke: Well, your dinosaur. We need to...
Molly: Where is he?
Luke: Where is who?
Molly: Wolverine. If he helped find us.
Luke: He had a thing.
Molly: A thing?
Luke: A thing. Now will you listen? We found out something big's brewing. A few years ago, your parents...
Victor: Our parents?
Luke: Well, not your parents.
Xavin: Nor mine, I suspect.
Luke: I don't even know who you are.
Xavin: I'm Xavin. I'm a skrull.
Luke: A skrull?
Xavin: Yes.
Karolina: He's also my girlfriend.
Luke: He.
Xavin: Yes.
Luke: Your Girlfriend.
Karolina: Yes.
Xavin: I change my shape.
Luke: Right, because you're a skrull.
Nico: Can we get back to our parents?
Luke: Right. The Pride. They had a backup plan.
Chase: Back up.
Luke: That's what I said.
Chase: No, I mean, back up. How'd you find out about this?
Luke: I'm an Avenger now.
Chase: Yeah, but you guys never knew a thing about The Pride when they controlled the city for years. So how do you know they've got a backup plan?
...
(14 pages later)
Nico: So about this back-up plan...?
Luke: Oh, yeah. It's a huge monster. It's already killed some
C-list heroes off-panel. And you're the only ones who can stop it.
TO BE CONTINUED IN PART TWO OF TWELVE!
Joe Quesada:
The issue has still yet to ship, one year after the solicitation, which promised Kiden would join the Runaways, paving the way for a New X-Men/Runaways crossover mini which has already occured, written by somebody else.
Chris Claremont:
In the first story arc, The Hellfire Club attempts to take over the Pride's old business in LA, lead by a new character.
Nico: Oh no, somehow this character (who seems an awful lot like the Shadow King except he can't be, because the Shadow King is unavailable) has reflected my hypnotism spell back on us! I must resist!... and yet part of me craves to just let go!
Xavin: By Kl'rt! As the mind control progresses, I'm gradually changing my clothes into what you Earthlings would call 'bondage gear'.
Victor: I'm a robot, and I think we need to all pull together. Fight it, rookie!
Molly: Don't worry, we'll defeat it, because we're Runaways, and
Runaways find a way to win! No Matter What!
Karolina: For some unexplained reason probably due to my alien
heritage, I'm completely immune to mind control. Which leads me,
Lucy in the Sky, with a free hand to use my Solar Beam, the focused
totality of my alien heritage, to blast this miscreant!
Narration Box: The two titans clash, one of light, one of dark.
Karolina fights like a true warrior, knowing that if she loses, she
will pay the price in the blood of her friends. The battle is joined. No quarter asked, none given!
Victor: I'm a robot. Nice shot, Karolina! You've driven him away... for now!
Gert: Hi guys, I'm back. Oh yeah, and I have phenomenal cosmic power.
Chase: Oh, , and I just started dating a girl who looks exactly like you! Whatever will I do?
Victor: I'm a robot.
(All of this is done with affection for the people involved)
Feel free to add your own!
