Runaways, Vol. 3: That Was Yesterday by Rainbow Rowell
2.0
This was definitely my least favorite volume of [a:Rainbow Rowell|4208569|Rainbow Rowell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1342324527p2/4208569.jpg]'s take on The Runaways. Ordinarily, I'm pretty big on Rowell's writing style and humor. It usually makes up for any issues I have with the plot. However, that was not the case for this. I didn't enjoy the art in the first half. I thought the story was a little convoluted, hard to follow, and boring at times. Having Alex make a reappearance was such a great idea. I was excited for it. But now, having read it, I think there were better ways to go about it.
I am such a huge fan of [a:Brian K. Vaughan|24514|Brian K. Vaughan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1557530189p2/24514.jpg] and what he did with those characters. I was so excited when Rowell was picking up where he left off. But the magic hasn't really translated (for me, at least). I've been moderately happy with the first two volumes; this was just kind of a disappointment.
I did give it two stars, though, because I really enjoyed the Old Lace issue!
