Children of the Damned
7 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
Finally, I've just gotten around to reading Vol. 2 of Brian K. Vaughan's teenage superhero team. Still trying to elude their super-villain parents, the kids befriend a boy who's not what he seems. As if that's not enough, members of the secret society known only as the Pride enlist the help of B-list heroes Cloak and Dagger to find the kids. They're so-so stories like those in Vol. 1; nothing to brag about to the neighbors. And I'm not too crazy about the artwork, either. Maybe I'm just outgrowing these kinds of stories. . .
Nah, I just need to read more.
This comic is unrated: Violence.

Amazing book.
This book along with the first one are really awesome.
In this book the runaways end up in a cave, but inside the cave is a enormous big house. They stay there a longtime till they know where to go to get away from they're parents, that they think are villains. In this book there are six runaways. 5 of them are in high school, and one of the girls is in middle school. The only really serious person in this book is Alex who still doesn't know his powers. untill almost the end of the book. This book would be desirable for people that adore graphic novels. I truly like how the author describes everything. I also adore the pictures and drawings. The writer is Brain K. Vaughan.
There are eight volumes, so far I'm only on volume 2. I wish to read all the volumes, and maybe they will make a volume nine some day. The only thing that didn't really please me about this book is that there is a vampire in the middle of the book. That is the only bad part of the book. Right now I'm just checking the books out from the library, but I feel like buying them to keep them. I really recommend this book if you are looking to buy a graphic novel.

Volume Two - Deeper and Better Than Volume One
27 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
"The Runaways" are an eclectic set of young heroes - multi-cultural and edgy - a younger, sexier version of the Fantastic Four. Vaughan even writes some self-parody when the kids say, "These disguises make us look like those politically correct, multi-ethnic gangs that only rob people in bad TV shows." At this point, we know that their parents may be super-villains or they may be super-heroes. The dialogue is the sometimes witty, sometimes indulgent. Vaughan sprinkles his dialogue with allusions to pop culture, art, music, TV and movies.
In Volume 1, the drawings were flat and character development was thin, but in Volume 2, Vaughan and Alphona have started to hit their stride. The story is much more interesting and the characters are starting to fill out. Not only do we get our fair share of comic book action, but Vaughan starts to address deeper issues that all teenagers deal with, such as love, jealousy and identity. Even the artwork is better than the first volume. For the first time in this series, I find myself lingering on the page, enjoying the scene. The "kids" are starting to feel real.
Besides all this, the drama is starting to pick up as the kids are discovering what the Pride's strange backstory.
On to Volume 3!
