One of the best comic series I've ever read. Bar none.

RTC. Such an interesting premise, great illustrations and creative twist.

This was so much fun! The characters, the relationships, the stakes, the powers, the action, the pacing, all of it. It was a totally entertaining and utterly additive read. My only disappointment came from some of the dialogue. Its use of ableist slurs and body shaming being just some examples how the languages used definitely didn’t pass the test of time. That being said, overall I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience but it was definitely tainted by the microagressions and dodgy language...

Runaways is not your average superhero graphic. Anytime I see a marvel character I usually run the other way, but this has me intrigued! It is just the right amount of action, drama, teen angst, "love", and just 1% Captain America.

Marvel collects the entire first series in this run. The Runaways are a group of kids who witness their parents murder someone. After they go on the run, they realize their parents are much more than they appear. As they discover more about their parents, they all power up as well, until they must take on the Pride once and for all. I like how self-contained this is. Vaughan answers every question he raises. It has this great new vs. old generation vibe to it. Vaughan's dialogue crackles and pop...

I always knew I'd like comic books (I really enjoy serialized entertainment; it's why I prefer TV to movies: the long story arcs, the fully developed characters, etc), but I have been hesitant to try them because comic book communities seem so daunting and insular. X-Men has always been a comic series that intrigued me, but at this point there are like six million issues. How do I know where to start? But, with this comic book being so recent and so handily packaged in bound volumes and being av...

I was expecting more action and them actually running away for a few days, but the only ¨action¨ that happen was them fighting their parents and everything took place in a day 1/2 😕 Im kinda disappointed.Update: I WILL NOW continue. So I´m just going to say it, for me I got offended with 2 lines in the book one said ¨yeah there gay¨ and ¨that´s so unladylike¨ um.. no. Now that I´m thinking about this no I will not continue. Overall score:2/5

This is great! It sort of makes me sad, since I've had it sitting on my to-read pile for over 9 weeks & I was planning on just letting it go without reading it for some reason, but it's so spectacular it makes me depressed to think of all the other stuff that just sits there & sits there that I never end up reading and even though I know the odds are against all of that stuff being equally as awesome - still. The never-ending quest to read All The Good Stuff.Anyway, this book sort of reaffirms B...

Good stuff! I like the way they came up with an entirely new group of superheroes and still managed to mix in a few cameo scenes with older Marvel characters like Captain America. Can't wait to read the next volume!

In the past ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been through movies, television and numerous streaming services, taking cue from the pages of Marvel Comics ranking from the iconic to the obscure. Amongst them, is Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, which is now adapted as a web television series created for Hulu. So, whilst the show is currently airing, about time I revisit the first Marvel comics run I ever collected.Centring on a group of six kids whose parents routinely

It was a "meh" in 2012 and it's a "meh" now. Not my favorite BKV by a country mile.

Vol 1 collects issues #1-18.I enjoyed this graphic novel way more than I expected to. 6 teens accidentally find out that their parents are bad guys. But wait, that's not all. Some of them might also have super powers! The story is violent and gritty, but also a tale of friendship, found family, and betrayal with lots of twists. A fun ride.

Great stuff. Love these kids -- I even came to like Chase, which shocked me. They're well-written and believable. (and I have to remember that their pop-culture references are 10 years old already!) Great moment when they get called "Power Pack", and it was lovely to see Cloak and Dagger again [damn, that little Molly is strong] -- and to see Dagger both get called out for her costume and to get pissed off when she is called "Dazzler" by one of the kids.Artwork was kind of crap in the first arc,...

An enjoyable (and surprisingly contained - the whole story is in this volume) story about six teens who discover that their parents are supervillains. I liked it a lot, even though quite a lot of the humour has aged badly, and there are a lot of moments that just wouldn't make it into a comic in 2018.

Okay, I loved this!Sure, every teenager thinks their parents are evil, but what if they actually are? Like, you just watched them perform a ritual where they sacrificed a girl evil? Well, that's exactly what Alex, Nico, Karolina, Gertrude, Chase, and Molly have to deal with now. So what do they do? What any teenager who can't go to the police would do in their situation. Get the hell out of dodge!And it just escalates from there. I absolutely adore Molly! Really appreciated that nod to "Arsenic

I absolutely loathed Y: The Last Man, but I'm a big believer in giving authors at least two chances. I'm so glad I do because Runaways is wonderful. Fun and fast-paced with fantastic art. All the best bits of superhero stories, but without the kitsch that is often present. Light yet not meaningless. A solid good time. Even better, it surprised me towards the end.

This book is so well-done! Worthy of the hype, though the art is a bit too “of its time” for me. Can’t wait to read the new rendition.

The deluxe edition has the complete first series of Runaways, 18 issues in all. It's a complete storyline, beginning to end. We start with six teens (and one preteen) discovering that they're parents are actually very powerful supervillains, and running away as an act of rebellion. Eventually, we get to the confrontation that we all knew was inevitable. The first six issues, which deal with the initial act of running away, was a really strong opening to the series. The last six issues, which cov...

Really enjoyed the story and the art.

What happens when you discover your parents are actually evil supervillains?Brian K Vaughan's PG Marvel comic is all kinds of fun! Starts off kind of average, but takes the time to properly develop each of the characters and really build an engrossing and action-packed story. Overtly set in the Marvel universe, the comic regularly references the heroes we all know and love, plus the X-Mansion gets a shout-out, and there is a great cameo of one of the better known Marvel heroes. Is it just me, or...
