Runaways, Vol. 1: Pride and Joy

Runaways Deluxe, Vol. 1Runaways Deluxe, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this story. The artwork was good, and the characterization was pretty strongly aligned. No weak characters, although like all comic books, the characters are bitingly logical when they need to be, and able to speak their mind plainly. I like that this story deals with how teenagers understand their parents. It has a kind of rag-tag feel but I think that’s appropriate for runaways. The twist in the end though, is a little heavy handed as it feels too forced. But I guess comic books like to wrap things together in a tight package.

The smattering of kids was very politically correct, which in some ways, is to be expected. All in all, a solid B comic. Reminds me of being a teenager and wanting to be part of a group… and finding yourself part a group that is well, put together through an odd way. But what groups aren’t oddly formed?
