Runaways: The Complete Collection, Vol. 1 by Adrian Alphona, David Newbold, Christina Strain, Craig Yeung, Brian Reber, Brian K. Vaughan, Takeshi Miyazawa

4.0

Man, it's been so long since I read Runaways. The premise (teens discover their parents are actually supervillains and they have superpowers/incredible hidden inheritances of their own, they run away from home) is still as rock-solid as ever. My biggest problem is the art - you can definitely tell that this is still the early days of the series as it seems like most of the characters have a case of the uglies, and to a lesser degree, the writing (there's a trap that Vaughan falls into like a lot of other people writing sassy characters where everyone is sassy in the same way, all the time). This is still a modern classic, though, for lack of a better term.
