Runaways Returns In February With Pandemic, Election, Tik-Tok & X-Men

Published Thu, 19 Nov 2020 11:05:15 -0600

Last month, after a pandemic hiatus, Marvel Comics surprised everyone by putting out the previously-printed-but-never-distributed Runaways #32 by Rainbow Rowell and Natacha Bustos with a story that was meant to appear in #33. Instead, Runaways #33 will now have series artist Andres Genolet's story with Wolverine and Pixie, originally solicited to take place in issue #34.

Because now Marvel Comics have resolicited Runaways #33 for February 2021, four months after #32. While #34 – which is meant to be Marvel's 100th issue of the series may now be coming out in March 2021 – potentially an over-sized final issue of the series. We'll get more information on that in a month – or a couple of months, depending if Marvel fess up or we have to wait until April solicitations to roll around and we make out judgements.

Here's the new solicitation for Runaways #33 from the new February 2021 solicitations…

But now there have been some changes, references to the pandemic, the election, Tik-Tok – and the X-Men revealed as that guest star. Wolverine maybe? Here's the new solicitation.
