What If…? Runaways #1
Every year, a group of philanthropists gather for a charitable fundraiser… or so their children Alex Wilder, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Nico Minoru thought.
When they discover their parents form the Pride, a sinister, sacrificial group that answers to a godly race called the Gibborim , the teens are terrified, shocked and… intrigued? Their destiny awaits, and there’s no running away.
