I'm not normally much of a comics person, but this was AWESOME. Great art, great twisty plot, and the characters are just wonderful. I am definitely into this. ( )

Wow, okay, this was a lot of fun! Definitely a new series I'll have to keep reading: the overall feel and storyline was intriguing and fresh, and the characters felt fully realized and it was enjoyable seeing their ragtag crew come together. And that big twist near the end? THAT took me by surprise.
The only thing that didn't quite work for me was the fact that you could tell this was written by a man. There's a handful of moments where characters (both men and women) call women "sluts" or "skanks" because of how they're dressed or acting; there just seems to be this weird undercurrent of snarky attitudes towards women. Also, the issue with the, uh, vampire felt strangely random - it didn't fit in at all with the overall arc. ( )

I always wanted to run away as a kid, just for the adventure, so naturally, this graphic novel about a group of teenagers who run away from evil parents was right up my alley.

Some of the dialogue was unrealistic (11-year-old Molly, for example, uses some baby-talk, including calling her parents "mommy" and "daddy" - something no self-respecting 11-year-old I know would do!), the kids didn't seem terribly fazed for too long that their parents were evil, and some of the outfits are on the skanky side - but I suppose in a book about teenage superheroes, all of that is somewhat expected.

I really liked that 4 of the 6 main characters were female, since the norm is the other way around. ( )

2010 "Pride & Joy" (Issues 1-6)

I read this while I was interning at the local public library when it first came out, and I thought it was a pretty good. Seeing it and the second volume in the bookswap, I got them and my opinion stays the same. It sure as hell is more in-tune with kids and teens then the Power Pack ever were (remember them? ha!).

It is just because of that on-the-pulse touch that will date 'Runaways' in time, if it hasn't already. I will be the first to admit that what kids are into these days baffle me, one of my sister's friend's 8 year old daughter showed me her collection of Silly Bands and I couldn't help but think of myself solemnly explaining to my parents the Ninja Turtles.

'Runaways' is funny, sometimes cute and, as I've said a damn good try to attract kids to superhero comics when all they seem to care about is the latest issue of Shonen Jump. Apparently it's still going strong, so good on you Marvel.

2010 "Teenage Wasteland" (Issues 7-12)

Like all good sequels, Volume 2 uses the same formula, doubles the mix and answers some questions.

I've said it in my review of Volume 1, but 'Runaways' really does a good job of modernizing the Marvel superhero format to appeal to jaded youngsters strung out on Shonen Jump and what passes for Nickelodeon these days.

...When did I get so old? Pretty soon I just might convince myself that the NES was superior to modern game consoles and that nu-metal was a good idea.

2016 "The Good Die Young" (Issues 13-18)

'The Runaways' follows a group of teens and tweens who have known each other all their lives. Their parents were friends and for the most part they merely tolerated the annual get-togethers of their families. That is until they discovered their parents' secret identities as "The Pride", a super-powered criminal organization that all-but-rules Los Angeles.

In the first two volumes, the kids escape from their parents and discover their inheritance: one way or another, each one of them has skills, powers and access to materials that allow them to be as powerful as their parents.

'The Good Die Young' picks up as the team try to regroup after a failed attack on their parents, and on the news that one of them has been informing their parents of their whereabouts and plans. I've rated this one a little higher than previous issues, simply because I appreciated how it wrapped up many of the questions I had when I started the series. There is a significant amount of closure. I've heard there's a television show in the works, I look forward to it.

2022: The Complete Collection, Volume 1 (Issues 1-18)

As you can tell from the above reviews, I read most of these issues around when they first came out and reviewed them on a reread. Now, years more later, I guess it's gratifying to find I was right that 'The Runaways' became dated so fast. The story is still solid enough for superhero comics, but the approach was lacking in a lot of ways. I'm glad it got a reboot/rewrite from Rowell. I enjoyed my re-read, though, and was glad I got a chance to check out the next 36 or so issues.
