Probably this is because in a superhero universe where all the other inhabitants seem to be variations on a theme, these guys truly seem to march to a completely different drummer. The "third season" starts off with a six-issue arc by Joss Whedon (Runaways: Dead End Kids Premiere HC (Runaways)) which I can only hope will someday be collected into an oversized hardcover. Vaugahn's last work on "Runaways," but the series is not over. 1 is called "Season One" by fans, then this book acts as the finale of the second season. Vaughan, penciller Adrian Alphona, colorist Christina Strain, and cover artist Jo Chen are forces of life in the world of comics, and they come together on this project with beautiful results. I won't bog this down by reviewing each arc, but I can safely say that you'd be hard pressed to find a better team: writer Brian K. This story is made of an astonishing one-shot Molly story (#13), "Parental Guidance" (#14-18) which is easily the best arc of the series, "Dead Means Dead" (#19-21), and "Live Fast" (#22-24). Vaughan's writing, please stop reading this review right now and buy "Runaways." The story is amazing, compromised of some of the best comic book writing-or just writing, period-that I've ever read. The binding is strong, the covers are awesome, and the page quality is top-notch.Īnd, for all of those who aren't familiar with Brian K. The sheer size of the pages really allows fans to appreciate the art (pencilled by Adrian Alphona, complimented by Christina Strain's lush colors) and the details that go into making each page.


Instead of buying "Runaways" in those tiny little digest books, treat yourself to this beautiful, over-sized hardcover edition. This book could not be more worthy of your cash.
