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

4.0

Fun stuff, if not ultimately as interesting as Y: The Last Man or Saga. But then, it's not supposed to be, is it? It was designed by BK Vaughn to be for a younger readership during an era when comics are increasingly grappling with adult issues in more adult ways (more sex, violence, cursing, and so forth). So it makes sense that this would be less intense, less adult, the sort of thing that you could comfortably hand to an eleven-year-old without worrying over content.

So: A lot of fun. Though disappointing when superhero characters from the extended Marvel universe turn up in this world. Would much more prefer that this world stand alone. Ah well; won't stop me from checking out volume 2.
