Summary: Excellent, fun book
Comment: This is not only one of the best books being published by Marvel, but one of the best reads in the comic industry, heck it's one of the best stories in the entire entertainment industry right now. Although it has great dialogue, characterization, and plotting, it is far from realistic--it's a SUPERHERO book; it's not supposed to be realistic. And it is about teenagers; it is not dark and serious like a lot of comics published today. But it is a ton of fun, from start to finish, if you want an entertaining read, you won't regret reading RUNAWAYS. So, realize what kind of an audience the book is trying to reach; if this does not sound like you, still buy it; it did not sound like a book for me, but I am now hooked. Help keep the series alive and buy it!
Rating: 5
Summary: Action, comedy, and drama for all ages!
Comment: God, what else is there to say?
Alex Wilder, Nico Minoru, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, and Molly Hayes are all children of privelege. Unbeknownst to them however, this privelege comes from the fact that their parents are all members of a secret criminal organization called the Pride that has its hands in everything dirty to be had in LA. When they discover this, the kids must go on the run, discover the truth about their parents, and decide what to do with the new knowledge and abilities the journey grants them.
The kicker of this book is the wonderful storytelling and characterization. Brian Vaughan, writer of the acclaimed Y: The Last Man, turns in taut and suspenseful scripts; reading this story in single issues, I couldn't wait for the next chapter to come out. The ideas come at a fast pace, but the story is kept manageable by the great cast. Each of the kids is a unique, believable individual, and cliched like so many teens written by adults these days. Very few can pull of writing young characters in a way that will appeal to young readers, but Vaughan is one of them. Kids and adults alike will fall in love with these characters. If nothing else, there's a dinosaur.
So, in closing, buy this trade, and then rush down to your local comic store to seek out the following issues. 14 have been published to date; the first six are reprinted in this volume.
