After the loss and death of family and friends The Runaways or what is left of them disband. Everyone went in their own direction until Chase found a way to time travel and bring the one friend they lost that can bring them back together.
I haven't kept up with all the Runaways stories. I have read some written by Joss Whedon and watched some of the tv series. I enjoyed both and I do like the characters. This seems to take place after the tv series and the Whedon arc. My favorite character is Gert partly because she is plus-sized and partly because she has control of a dinosaur...duh! Gert is like the mom of the group. Like a good mom, she tries to keep everyone together. A Lot has changed since the start of The Runaways. They have lost friends, even some that were a part of the main group.
I knew some of the stories because of watching the series and reading some. I would say if the reader started here having not read anything about the runaways beforehand it may not be as interesting and probably more than a little confusing.
Like most Marvel comics I do really like The Runaways and will continue to read. Since The Runaways are teenagers I believe young adults 12 or 13+ years will enjoy the characters.
