Marvel's 'Runaways'
« on: August 07, 2008, 11:00:41 am »
Alright, I don't know how many people might know about this comic.

Marvel released Runaways somewhere around 2002.

This series is about a group of teenagers who find out their parents are villains and try to make up for it by becoming superheroes.  Starting with running away from home and thwarting their parents plans.  Throughout the series you get cameos from superhero groups such as The Avengers.

A lot of people like to talk down about Runaways because it's made more for the younger crowd.  But I kind of like the updeat, colorful design.  The new sort of inside look to teenage heroes.  Even their little teenage problems, marvel style.  I especially like how diverse the characters are.  You have characters from all around the world of all ethnicities.  And lesbians.  WTF, MARVEL?!  YES!  I'm just glad Marvel tried something like this out, although sadly it seems to be struggling with the light of day constantly.

Here's the Wiki for it, read more on it if you are mildly interested!
