The Remarkable Runaways
31 May 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have the other three volumes that Vaughan wrote and was a bit let down by this volume. It still has the wit and craft of the others, but the story feels a bit perfunctory. Regardless, this is one of the best series written and Vaughan with his collaborators more than made me a fan with the first two volumes. I love Nico and Gertrude most of all because of their passion and personality. It's about time someone wrote a book with strong female leads. I recommend this to anyone and if you want to get a sibling into comics I'd say that this series is a great place to start. By the way, it's unfortunate that the cover pictured above is not the actual cover for the book because I think it's one of the best I've seen on a book. The one that actually appears on the book is much less effective. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and read this series.

Ran away with my heart
6 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
Runaways is one of my top three favorite comic book series. This hardcover trade is a must-have for collectors.
This hardcover trade collects Runaways Volume 2 issues #13-24
The Story Arcs:
Dead Ringers (issue 13)
Parental Guidance (issues 14-18)
Dead Means Dead (issues 19-21)
Live Fast (issues 22-24)
I suggest you pick up Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways as well. This trade, written by Zeb Wells with art by Stefano Caselli, occurs between issues 21 and 22 of Runaways. If you like the characters in Runaways, read the Young Avengers and Runaways crossover. You won't regret it.
This trade concludes Brian K. Vaughan's run as writer of Runaways. Issues 25 - 30 will be written by Joss Whedon. After Joss' brief run, Terry Moore will take over as writer of Runaways.

Your Hard Earned Money Deserves To Be Spent On Something This Great
8 Dec 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book could not be more worthy of your cash. Instead of buying "Runaways" in those tiny little digest books, treat yourself to this beautiful, over-sized hardcover edition. The sheer size of the pages really allows fans to appreciate the art (pencilled by Adrian Alphona, complimented by Christina Strain's lush colors) and the details that go into making each page. The binding is strong, the covers are awesome, and the page quality is top-notch.
And, for all of those who aren't familiar with Brian K. Vaughan's writing, please stop reading this review right now and buy "Runaways." The story is amazing, compromised of some of the best comic book writing--or just writing, period--that I've ever read. This story is made of an astonishing one-shot Molly story (#13), "Parental Guidance" (#14-18) which is easily the best arc of the series, "Dead Means Dead" (#19-21), and "Live Fast" (#22-24). I won't bog this down by reviewing each arc [for my review of #12-18, click here:Runaways, Vol. 6: Parental Guidance/ for my review for #19-24, click here: Runaways Vol. 7: Live Fast ], but I can safely say that you'd be hard pressed to find a better team: writer Brian K. Vaughan, penciller Adrian Alphona, colorist Christina Strain, and cover artist Jo Chen are forces of life in the world of comics, and they come together on this project with beautiful results.
If Runaways, Vol. 1 is called "Season One" by fans, then this book acts as the finale of the second season. This is Brian K. Vaugahn's last work on "Runaways," but the series is not over. The "third season" starts off with a six-issue arc by Joss Whedon (Runaways: Dead End Kids Premiere HC (Runaways)) which I can only hope will someday be collected into an oversized hardcover. But until that day, we have this. Marvelous buy.
9/10
