Runaways 30
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I love Joss Whedon, but this has been so long in coming that I’ve lost any real sense of anticipation. I’m sure this arc will kick ass as a trade paperback though.

Runaways goes Hollywood
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Marvel Studios isn’t taking any time off to rest on their Iron laurels. In addition to their recent announcement of big screen adaptions of Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man and the Avengers, they’ve just told the Hollywood Reporter that the next Marvel property added to the production queue is Runaways (created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona). Recently promoted Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige will be reprising his role as producer.
Like Ant-Man, Runaways is only in the incubation stages with no release scheduled, but it is significant in that although critically acclaimed (winner of 2006 Harvey Award for best continuing/limited series), the Runaways are far from a tried and true Marvel legend. They are a band of ragtag superpowered teenagers who discover their parents are super villains known as “the Pride” (alien conquerers, time traveling thieves, dark mages and mad scientists etc) and then take them down. Also unusual is that none of these young heroes (or their parents) have preexisting ties to any other characters in the Marvel Universe prior to their debut in 2002 (though I’m sure some writer will retcon some history one of these days).
Secret Invasion: Runaways / Young Avengers 3 issue miniseries starts in June
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008It’s good to know the Young Avengers will be more visible this year… Between the mini spotlighting the individual members of the team and this upcoming crossover dealing with the Skrulls on both of Marvels premiere teen teams. Coincidentally both Skrulls are involved in homosexual relationships. I do hope that neither Skrull is exposed as a duplicitous betrayer worming their way into the hearts of their intended. But if it has to be one, it better be Xavin.
