But when Earth's new emperor, Doctor Doom, tries to reclaim one of their own, it's time to start running again. With perfect timing, Chase returns from the future -- looking more dangerous and broodier than ever! But what happened there that's got him so suspicious of Gert? And how long can even the Runaways evade the will of Doom? COLLECTING: Runaways (2025) #1-5
