The series gets a little odd from time to time, but for the most part I think it could be a pretty great movie. I just wonder how much of the "comic book" type stuff they'd have to lose (crossovers with random Marvel characters including X-Men, Skrull randomly showing up, etc).

One of the best trade paperbacks you can buy. IMO I’ve only read the initial run, but it was pretty amazing. One of the best trade paperbacks you can buy. IMO

Vaughn did an excellent job on the book and I did my best to keep up with the series. Its hard work to maintain constant money flow into comics. As for Joey's comment I think this series has a good storyline to be a movie. I don't mind comic book movies just don't make them horrible or on lesser known characters. And don't make SpiderMan EMO! DAMN YOU SAM RAIMI! Runaways is a great series, Brian K. Vaughn did an excellent job on the book and I did my best to keep up with the series.

I already had the entire series in monthlies and still shelled out for all the hardcover editions. It's that good. Runaways is definitely a series to read.

I'd put it up as my favorite comic book. Ever. While I love Neil Gaiman, and Alan Moore.. their is a level of intentional grandiosity there which is completely absent in the tongue-and cheekness of this series. I've once heard Runaways described as Freaks and Geeks with superpowers. Basically it collects a group of teenagers with different origins within the marvel universe - i.e. a X-men-like mutant girl, a sorceress, an alien, a gadgetry guy, a girl psychically connected to a dinosaur from the 87th century (seriously.) Of course thematically its about growing up, separating from your parents, the future generation fixing the others mistakes... And it has the marvel universe (and ours) as a backdrop (i.e. one of the kids plays a MMORPG where he gets a naked invisible woman skin, and faces off against Spider-man, the Daily Bugle is compared to Foxnews. It's superbly written with "What-the-Hell-just-happened" plot twists up the ying-yang Brian K. Vaughan of Lost, and Y the Last Man wrote the first 40 issues or so. Joss Whedon, of Firefly and Buffy fame, then took over for the next 6, but I actually prefer Brian K. Vaughan's run. Wizard magazine calls it "the best original concept from Marvel in thirty years." I'd Agree. Doug,
