COMIC BOOK PICK OF THE WEEK



I can't believe that I have waited this long to pick up this book. I have been hooked on "Y the Last Man" since the day it came out. Brian Vaughan's writing makes for such a fun read that when his newer series the "Runaways" came out, I should have been the first to give that one a try.

Today, I read Runaways vol 1 for the first time, and now have a new addiction. When 6 teenagers accidentally find out that their parents are actually super villains in an evil organization called the Pride, they initially call the police. Unfortunately, everyone in LA seems to be on the "Prides" payroll so the teenagers runaway. Before doing this however, they learn that they have inherited their parents special abilities. Now they must confront their evil parents. This fresh fun new series also takes place in the Marvel Universe, so Spider-Man, X-men, and the Avengers are all "real" to them.

The best part of having waited awhile to start reading this great series, is that I now have 4 more volumes to read without the wait.
