- Joss writing for one of his favorite new Comics
I really enjoyed Joss Whedon's. I am both a fan of his and of Runaways. He really caputred these charaters, and you can tell who is favorites are(I kinda think Molly and Victor). The kids and their struggle and gave them some nice twists to play with. He did however gave the next writer even more loose ends to tie up. Not a bad thing at all, just gives the new writer something to finish up for him. I would suggest picking this up if you are a fan of the writer, or of the Runnaways in general. But if you are a fan you have probably already read it. The art is in the same style, as the books written by Vaughan. This hardcover is a nice book for a collection.

- an OK installment in a wonderful series
what we have here is an OK installment in a series that, up to this point, has been fantastic. runaways is brian k. vaughan's baby, and he and artist adrian alphona made it one of my favorite comics ever; a series marked by strong characterization, sharp dilaogue, and some of my favorite comic art of all time. when vaughan decided to step away from the book, joss whedon seemed like a perfect replacement, and he does the job you should expect. the characterization is still there, along with some nice dialogue bits and a decent adventure to send these kids on. this story has the runaways going back in time, and that's just about it, a relatively standard adventure with some fun moments and not much else. michael ryan handles art chores, and he does a good job. adrian alphona (like vaughan) left some big shoes to fill, and i suppose michael ryan is about as good a replacement as you could want. but adrian alphona is ...

- Joss Whedon Takes the Reigns
Joss Whedon is my favorite writer of all time. So when I say that I was wary about him taking over this series for an arc, understand that isn't because I was worried about where he'd take the story, because I know he'd do it justice. It was simply because the story came from Brian K. Vaughan's mind, and the mere fact of seeing anyone else carry it on was scary, because BKV did such a fantastic job. "Runaways" has always been one of my favorite comics, and I wanted to make sure it didn't just become one of those Marvel stories that they pass from writer to writer until it loses its feel. So basically, I was worried that my favorite writer wouldn't be a good fit for "Runaways."

THE STORY: Thankfully, I was wrong. The story itself is pretty perfect, in that it really picks up from the point where Brian K. Vaughan left them, while not just continuing the same story but giving us a new plot to get invested ... Read More

- A marvelous continuation of Brian K. Vaughan's wonderful creation
If you've been following comics lately it is pretty clear that Joss Whedon and Brian K. Vaughan have formed a mutual admiration society. Although THE RUNAWAYS was created in the post-House of M Marvel universe, it clearly owed its inspiration more to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER than to anything other source. It is almost impossible to read the adventures of the Runaways and not think of the Scoobies. And Molly, my favorite Runaway, is an utterly Whedonesque creation. Furthermore, it was hardly a surprise when Whedon invited Vaughan to take on the second major arc in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Season 8, the story dealing with Faith's attempt to rein in a rogue slayer. And at the party celebrating the final issue of Vaughan's great comic epic Y: THE LAST MAN, Vaughan was introduced by none other than Whedon. So, it just seems natural that Whedon would be the first person to continue Vaughan's baby (excepting a Runaways/Young ... Read More
