"Ever since learning that their parents were some of the most feared and despicable villains in the world, the Runaways' lives have been chaotic at best, tragic at worst. After rebelling against their evil parents and going on the run, the ragtag group -- including a witch, a robot, a mutant and even a young girl from the early 20th century -- has returned to their hometown: Los Angeles. But the Runaways couldn't avoid trouble even when returning to their roots, as soldiers hailing from Karolina Dean's home planet, Majesdane, attacked the kids. The alien interlopers had one goal in mind: the abduction of Karolina, whom they believed to have wronged their entire race. Though the Runaways did their best to repel the attackers, their quest for vengeance was only sated by the Skrull Xavin, who used his shapeshifting powers to take Karolina's place" -- inside cover.
