Runaways is an award-winning comic book series published Marvel Comics. The series features a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are part of an evil crime group called the Pride. Created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, the series debuted in April of 2003.[1] Despite debuting in 2003, the actual series itself was launched in 2002 as part of Marvel Comics' "Tsunami" imprint. The series had been cancelled in September 2004 at issue eighteen, but due to high numbers of trade collection sales, Marvel revived the series in February of 2005 and it has continued ever since.

Originally, the series featured a group of six kids whose parents routinely met every year for a charity event. One year, the kids spy on their parents and learn they are "the Pride", a criminal group of mob bosses, time-travelers, dark wizards, mad scientists, alien invaders and telepathic mutants. The kids steal weapons and resources from their parents, and learn they themselves inherited their parents' powers; Alex Wilder, a prodigy, leads the team while Nico Minoru learns she is a powerful witch, Karolina Dean discovers she is an alien, Gertrude Yorkes learns of her telepathic link to a dinosaur, Chase Stein steals his father's futuristic gloves, while young Molly Hayes learns she is a mutant with incredible strength. The kids band together and defeat their parents, and atone for the sins of their parents by fighting the new threats trying to fill in the Pride's void. With the deaths of Alex and Gertrude, they are later joined by cyborg Victor Mancha, plant-manipulator Klara Prast, and shape-shifting Skrull, Xavin.

Ever since the original groups' introduction, the Runaways have been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family. Series creators Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona left the series at issue twenty-four of the title's second volume. The second volume was continued by Joss Whedon and Michael Ryan until they departed at issue thirty. Terry Moore, creator of Strangers in Paradise currently writes the series with Humberto Ramos on art. Scheduled to write after Moore (for one issue) is Christopher Yost and James Asmus, while Kathryn Immonen and Sara Pichelli become the new permanent writers.[2][3][4]

[edit] Publication history

Series creator Brian K. Vaughan pitched Runaways in 2003 as a part of Marvel's Tsunami imprint, the goal of which was to attract new readers, particularly young readers and the manga audience.[5] Marvel editorial staff agreed to it immediately,[6] prompting Wizard Magazine to name the series as "one of the best original concept from Marvel in thirty years."[7] The Tsunami imprint turned out to be unsuccessful, and the series ended at issue #18. After the series' sales in digests,[8] Vaughan pitched the idea again to Marvel, who accepted it.[6] As of 2009, the series has been in continuous publication since its relaunch - though Volume 2 was ended with issue 30, with the following month seeing the first issue of Volume 3.

Writer Brian K. Vaughan has claimed that he had only planned to create Runaways for six months (six issues), but because of the popularity of the series and new ideas from Vaughan, Marvel decided to continue issuing it on for a monthly basis.[6] In 2007, Brian K. Vaughan announced his departure from Runaways, deciding to leave the series at the top of its game.[9] Longtime Runaways-fan Joss Whedon was hand-picked by Vaughan to write an arc; although Whedon had declined at first, he later accepted.[9]

Marvel revealed to viewers of the cable television station G4 show Attack of the Show that Kathryn Immonen and Sarah Pichelli were the new creative team in host Blair Butler's "Fresh Ink" segment.[10] They will start with issue #11, which will "start with a prom and end with a death"; Marvel editor Nick Lowe quotes that "It feels so right and so wrong at the same time? To be honest, and no offense to Joss or Terry, I hadn't felt this way since Gert died."[2]

[edit] Main series

[edit] Plot

When Alex, Chase, Gert, Karolina, Molly and Nico witness their parents ("the Pride") sacrifice a girl in an occult ceremony, the group runs off.[11] As the story progresses, the children learn of their heritage and abilities, and steal resources from their parents, including futuristic gauntlets, a dinosaur, and a mystical Staff. Using these resources, they manage to remove their parents from their criminal hold of Los Angeles, but they lose Alex in the final battle, due to Alex's true loyalty to his parents.[12] With the Pride defeated, the Runaways now vow to prevent other villains from filling in the void left by their parents.[13] They eventually meet cyborg Victor Mancha and shape-shifting alien Xavin, and invite them to join the team.[14] Right before the Runaways defeat a new incarnation of the Pride and Alex's resurrected father, Gertrude is fatally wounded.[15]

In the Marvel Comics' 2006 crossover "Civil War", the Young Avengers travel to Los Angeles to help the Runaways fight off the government. The two teams encounter Noh-Varr, who works for S.H.I.E.L.D. and attempts to capture the teenagers.[16] When the Runaways are accidentally time-displaced in 1907, they encounter the deceased Runaway Gertrude Yorke's parents.[17] After defeating the Yorkes and deadly gang war, plant-manipulator Klara Prast joins the Runaways' return back to the present.[18] Upon returning from 1907, the Runaways find themselves in New York, where the Skrull Armada has invaded, seeking Hulkling. After being attacked, with Xavin pretending to be loyal to the Skrulls to protect her friends, they retreat away from the battle while Xavin helps Hulkling escape his pursuers. This was part of Marvel Comics' 2008 crossover, "Secret Invasion".[19]

The series is currently being written by Terry Moore, and drawn by Humberto Ramos.[20] The Runaways are hunted by several remaining Majesdanian soldiers with the desire to capture Karolina for the problems caused on their planet; in a twisted turn of events, however, Xavin shape-shifts into Karolina and leaves with the Majesdanians. Moore's stint on Runaways is to end with the upcoming issue, issue #9.[21]

[edit] Style

The series is unusual in its own way, as it does away with the concepts of regular superhero behaviour, such as aliases, uniforms, and team names. All the characters in volume 1, (except Alex) adopt codenames,[22] but they soon start dropping their names by the end of volume 1.[23][24] Unlike other super hero teams, the runaways are featured with more girls than guys.[11] At one point, there was only one male on the team with four other females, prompting other groups to refer to him as "the girl's getaway man".[25] At another point, the team has two males, four females and one non-gendered shape-shifter, Xavin.[26]

Early in the series, Molly is the only character who makes a costume but creates it from old bed sheets and clothes,[27] not the traditional spandex of superhero costumes; she never wears the costume again.[28] During battle, the runaways mainly fight in their street clothes and call each other by their given names.[29] Furthermore, the children almost never refer to themselves as "the Runaways" as the series' title might suggest; their team simply goes unnamed, except for one brief instance, when Nico calls them "the Runaways", and tells them to "run away".[30] Other Marvel characters in the Marvel Universe usually refer to the nameless team as "the Pride's kids" or "those kids in L.A."[31] Vaughan even mocks the notion of superhero catchphrases such as "Hulk smash!", "It's Clobberin' Time", or "Avengers assemble!".[32] During a battle with Swarm, Nico semi-sarcastically tells Victor the team's rallying call is "Try not to die".[32] However, despite Vaughan's efforts to break down the superhero clichés within Runaways, Marvel's handbooks and website still refer to the characters by their codenames.[1] The Marvel miniseries Mystic Arcana features Nico Minoru under her superhero alias "Sister Grimm," a name she has not answered to since Runaways volume two began.[33]

[edit] Spin-off

Excelsior was a support group consisting of former teenage superheroes from defunct Marvel comic series (though one of their members - Lightspeed - was and remains a cast member of a financially and critically-successful series of Power Pack books aimed at younger readers). Excelsior was founded by Mickey Musashi (Turbo of the New Warriors) and Phil Urich (the heroic former Green Goblin), and the group's stated goals were to help fellow/former teenage superheroes to adjust to normal lives and dissuade other super-powered teenagers from becoming heroes, though this rationale (and by extension the team themselves) was made redundant by the events of Civil War (in which it became a legal requirement for all U.S. resident superheroes in the Marvel universe to register with the United States government for training, or face imprisonment). Though they originally debuted under the name "Excelsior", the title of the spin-off series was changed from Excelsior to Loners, due to copyright issues, as Stan Lee holds a trademark on the term "Excelsior!".[34][35] The team do not refer to themselves as 'The Loners', however, as this is not the name of the group within their story (in such a context it would be an oxymoron), and the group is simply not named directly by characters.

[edit] Characters

Originally, the team featured six main Runaways.

Later members include:

[edit] Alternate versions

[edit] Heroine

At one point, Gertrude's future self travels back in time.[29] She is in her thirties, and without Old Lace, and her superhero name is Heroine at this time.[29] Nico reveals, with the aid of magic, that this version of Gertrude is the leader of the Avengers of her time line.[25] Superheroes in her time includes characters to yet make an official appearance in the regular Marvel Universe, including an "Iron Woman", a heroic Scorpion, the "Fantastic Fourteen", and multiple "Captain Americas" (Or possibly one Captain representing both Americas) [25] She, the rest of her team, the X-Men (led by Armor), and the Fantastic Fourteen are killed by Victor's future self, a villain called Victorious.[25]

[edit] House of M

In the House of M reality warp, the Pride is mentioned in ruling not only Los Angeles, but all of Southern California. Unlike the normal reality, their children stay with their parents.[38] Karolina is mentioned as being a "go-to" girl for the Wolfpack.[38] When the Scarlet Witch takes majority of the mutants populations' powers, Molly is one of the handful that keeps her powers.[39]

In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Brian K. Vaughan revealed that Runaways (despite being in the main Marvel Universe) will not refer to the House of M reality warp. Vaughan's reason for not wanting Runaways to refer to the Scarlet Witch's attack was because he did not want the readers of Runaways to be confused about the complex House of M storyline.[39] He did, however say there would be a brief one-line reference, which happened in the following issue: after Molly angrily punches Wolverine out of a church, he lands in the snow and bitterly says, "Only 198 mutants left on the planet... and that girl had to be one of them."[40]

[edit] Marvel Zombies

In Marvel Zombies/Army of Darkness #2, the Blob is chased by various zombie super heroes. Behind him, in the background, zombie versions of the Runaways are shown feeding upon Old Lace.[41]

[edit] Wha.. Huh?

Goofy versions of the original team, including Alex Wilder, are seen in the What, Huh? one shot as part of a joke about Wolverine appearing in every comic including Archie, Yu-gi-oh, and Pokémon.[42]

[edit] What If?

In December 2008, all five issues of What If? featured the Runaways becoming the Young Avengers as back-up stories.[43] The five-part back-up feature (entitled What If Runaways became Young Avengers?) illustrates how Iron Lad recruits the Runaways as the next new wave of the Avengers[44], forcing them to be an actual super-hero team with costumes.[44] Written by C.B. Cebulski and drawn by Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante, the story had originally been called What If the Runaways didn't run away?, but it was not until Cebulski accidentally came upon on the Young Avengers storyline that he decide to merge the two stories.[44] Joe Quesada, editor in chief of Marvel Comics revealed early in his online interview feature, "MyCup o' Joe", that the main villain in the What if? storyline is Victorious, though Kang the Conqueror makes an appearance.[45] A reviewer, Jesse Schedeen of IGN cited What If? itself as "a let down", although the Runaways back-up story was positively received.[46]

[edit] Film

As of May 2008, a film version of the comic is in the scripting state, with Brian K. Vaughan writing and Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios President of Production, producing.[62] Feige has said "In our discussions with Brian, we wanted him to be the person to bring it to life. I think it won't be a precise story line of any [of his comics], but certainly it will be most similar to the tone or origins of his structure in its initial run".[63] A 2011 release is tentative,[62] and Fiege expects a finished script early 2009.[64]
