The Runaways

*Anarky* · 04-03-2006, 08:29 AM

If you're a rich kid, you don't have many big worries. I mean, you're never broke, you can be spoilt all you want and the most annoying thing is that you have to go to fundraiser-stuff with your parents. And that's just the problem Nico, Alex, Molly, Gertrud, Karolina and Chase have, they're parents are filthy rich and every year, they host a private fundraiser at Alex' place.

But... the parents have a different idea of what a fundraiser is. According to them, dressing up in costumes and praying to some weird deity and killing a girl is fundraising. Now, either the parents lied to the kids or they're just whacked. Whatever the parent's problem is, the kids decide to run away and take their parents down. And it gets worse, they find out that each of them has a special ability or a gift. Gertrud soon has her own dinosaur she names "Old Lace" and Chase gets gauntlets called "Fistigons". Every teen would find that weird, right? And so do the runaways... but at the moment, they have bigger problems, since their parents are worried about the kids telling someone what they saw and so they hunt the kids.

This is the comic book's premise. And the comic book is one of Marvel's best titles lately. Volume one was really, really good and volume two isn't too bad, but it's nowhere near as good as V1. Especially the last couple of issues with Molly being in that Oliver Twist-thing was pretty lame. But the return of "The Pride" looks promising.

So, who read it, who knows it, what are your thoughts? We can't let this section just die, you know...
