Acclaimed writer Rainbow Rowell returns to the Runaways in a world under Doom!

Marvel’s best and scrappiest found family has seen better days! Nico Minoru has lost her girlfriend, her best friend and her magic. With Karolina, Chase and Alex all out of the picture, Gert’s doing her best to shake the remaining Runaways out of running on autopilot. But when Earth’s new emperor, Doctor Doom, tries to reclaim one of their own, it’s time to start running again. With perfect timing, Chase returns from the future — looking more dangerous and broodier than ever! But what happened there that’s got him so suspicious of Gert? And how long can even the Runaways evade the will of Doom?
