runaways the complete collection volume 1 brian k vaughan

If i could have one gripe though, the big twist in the end is the only thing I felt was done in just the most laziest ways. Its like older power rangers if they were written in a way that explored each character and the relationships they have with one another in this war for balance between good and evil. Teenagers with attitude being granted the powers and chances to do the right thing. By the end of the first volume you'll be dying to get your hands on book 2, as well as the rest that are coming out next year.Īt some points the series reminded me of the older seasons of power rangers in a way. Where Runaways shines is the chemistry between each character. The story is simple, evil parents having their children rebel and become heroes. It is definitely one of the best series i've ever found. Runaways is the literal s#!t, as one of the team members would say. I have been wanting to read something fresh and new besides the standard marvel work that i've been reading recently, rather than complex and epic i've been wanting something more simple and small scaled.

Partially out of 'research' and partially out of curiosity.

So with christmas money to spend i bought the first two volumes of the complete collection to see what was up with them. It wasn't until recently when I was reading an article on line for the M.C.U that said that this bunch would be a possible show. I've never heard of this team in all of the M.U. This is a great bargain of a book and is just beautiful in it's full glossy magnificence.

The art is amazing as I believe I have mentioned before and feel compelled to mention again for those who may be on the fence. Lots of action packed fight sequences as well as some of those inevitable twists, not too predictable but not too overly dramatic. This volume takes you through the whole thing so no worries about an annoying cliffhanger ending while you wait for the next deluxe volume. Said runaways wage the fight against their parents while exploring their own budding powers and uncovering the motivations of The Pride. Lots of teenage angst and awkward encounters and dialogue that is witty and humorous though any curse words are censored out to make this a decent choice for older teens (or adults!). Teenagers find out their parents are evil super villains and run away. If you aren't familiar with the story it is pretty simple. There are full page prints of each of the kids in an action pose as well as about a dozen sketches and extras. Having only experienced the mass market volume of the first one I was blown away by the how much better this looks. The paper is heavy duty glossy that is a perfect medium to reprint the story.

It may not be a hardcover volume but it is heavy. If you are a fan of Runaways this edition collects the single volumes #1-18.
