Add a CommentVery loosely linked to the Runaways series from years ago (which frankly isn't that missed), this tale set during the Secret Wars events follows several students at an academy on Battleworld finding out the truth about their school. The end result leaves one to shrug and wonder what the point is, aside from padding the event with yet one more tie in miniseries.
A decent little self-contained story, but for better Runaways stick to Brian K. Vaughn's initial run. For better high-school final exam deathmatches, check out Deadly Class by Rick Remender.
