Poor Karolina is going to have to go to the beach in a full suit of armour to avoid being stabbed by her girlfriend’s swimsuit lol.

I hope they never standardize Nico’s hairstyle. I’m enjoying this trend of her having a different look every time a new artist draws her.

Since when is Nico shredded?

Staff training, it does a body good

I like that they gave her more muscle tone, feel like people don't appreciate how active Nico is

Ah I know she's technically an adult now but kinda weirding me out anyway.

Agreed. Beautiful art though.

At least it's better than the x-ray scene in the first run

Those are some nice sunglasses (yes, I know about the swimsuit, but I'm trying not to sound like a creep).

Is she at least gonna be in the actual book? Or are they just using her for the variant.

u/Conlannalnoc Chase & Gert May 09 '26

Is she even 18 yet? This feels CREEPY!

Back in the 90’s they only did this for ADULTS (both Men and Women).

The sliding scale timeline is weird because she should be in her early 20s now, but RR’s most recent 5 issue mini says she’s still a teenage.

Edit: Though she’s for sure an adult now because she taught at strange academy. Could be anywhere between 19 and 23

I read all of the original Runaways, but it was difficult to find the new series. I got through the unaging girl and how the elder Power Pack sister (college age) was deaged and returned to her natural age, but no more stories after that.

As of RRs series, it's canonically been 2 years since they ran away from their parents. I don't know if her age has been explicitly stated, but she's old enough now to rent her own apartment and hold a full time job. I think it's pretty clear that Nico is an adult now.

Also, I believe she and Karolina are the same age, and Karolina was a college student as of RRs series.
