Just as a minor point on Runaways... it certainly looks grim, I could be mistaken, I believe the TPB sales, like the comic sales figures, are direct-market, comic-stores only, which means it leaves out things like bookstores and alternative markets, and those were the areas where the Runaways digest supposedly had its strength. Although with such a long lag between the last digest and the latest, I can't imagine it will have made significant _gains_, and so if I had to bet, I'd wager it's probably in trouble there, too, it's just hard to judge specifically from the lists.

My own gut feeling is that it'll be cancelled as an ongoing by issue 18, maybe resurrected occasionally for crossover and limited run events, much like Young Avengers has been since its original run (although at this point, well, I'd miss it, but I wouldn't be wrecked anymore, I'm enjoying the stories in my head more than the ones Marvel's put out, and one of the things I always loved about Runaways before BKV's run was that I couldn't say that).
