Marvel's Runaways making a surprise return to comic books in just six days

Marvel's Runaways comic book series has been on hiatus since the onset of the COVD-19 pandemic, but good news is here: the book will be resuming schedule in just six days.

"The Runaways have always been full of surprises," says editor Nick Lowe. "So we're following in their footsteps and surprising you with Runaways #32 at comic shops next week. Gert, Chase, Nico, Karolina, Molly, Victor, Old Lace, and Gib barely survived a stint as Doc Justice's J-Team. What they do to pick up the pieces will shock you and the new arc 'Come Away With Me' is the most devastating yet!”

In a bit of luck, the Runaways series went on hiatus just after it finished the 'Cannon Fodder' arc.

Here's a preview of Runaways #32:

"After the events of last issue, the Runaways are in a dark and scary place," reads Marvel's synopsis for Runaways #32. "There are so many pieces to pick up and choices to be made and if the Runaways are good at anything it's making bad choices."

Natacha Bustos draws Runaways #32, with regular series artist Andres Genolet returning next issue - with guest stars Wolverine and Pixie.

Runaways #33 doesn't have a release date yet, but Marvel has begun teasing a "milestone 100th issue" for the series. Counting up all the issues between the five volumes of Runaways so far, that would end up being this volume's #34 (not counting any annuals, specials, or other side material).
