Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
This unusually clever, fun teen comic is based on the novel premise that parents don't just seem evil, they actually are evil supervillains. Or so some kids find out one night while eavesdropping on a dastardly meeting they take to be a cocktail party. Although the children are each a "type" right out of sitcom land-the goth girl, the brain, the jock, the dreamboat, the shy one-they're also fairly empathetic characters. Vaughan's closely observed dialogue lends them authenticity and pathos as they go through the disturbing realization that their parents aren't just jerks but actually mass-murderers. The plot builds from this initial discovery, as the kids band together, discover they, too, have superhuman powers and engage their parents in good, old-fashioned superhuman fisticuffs. The group goes on the run and discovers their parents have all of Los Angeles in their pockets-it's enough to make a teenager feel more alienated than ever. Alphona's dynamic, manga-influenced artwork agreeably complements Vaughan's crisp writing. They tell the story with clarity, a dollop of drama and just enough pizzazz to hook video game-obsessed readers. Packaged in a manga-size paperback, Marvel's attempt to tap both the manga and the young adult market nicely succeeds. (June) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
"Marvel Age" is a line of manga-sized, full-color paperbacks aimed at manga fans. This, the best of the line's initial releases (which also include the worthwhile Sentinel and Spider-Girl and the inferior Marvel Age Spider-Man), is the story of six kids, aged 11 to 16, who discover that their parents are part of a villainous secret society called the Pride. After witnessing a Pride ritual involving human sacrifice, the kids decide to investigate, and they discover many secrets that their parents have been hiding. One of the kids is actually an alien, one's a mutant, one's a witch--and one gains a dinosaur from the future as a protector. The smart script by Vaughan (Y the Last Man) gives the kids believably natural dialog and distinct personalities. Adrian Alphona's cartoonlike, manga-inflected art looks good despite being shrunk down from its original larger size. In a departure, Marvel gives this book a specific age rating, 12 and up. Excellent for teens, but adult superhero fans will also enjoy. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    Vaughan is AWESOME!!!

    This has got to be one of the greatest comic ever made!!! I haven't read a lot of american-made comics, and truly I never thought I could enjoy them as much as I enjoy manga (Japanese graphic novels for those who don't know), but I'm glad I found Runaways early on to utterly shatter that preconception! This series is amazing! I truly love the characters' personalities and how they all relate to one another. Drama, comedy, teenage superheroes and evil parents--what more could you ask for in life? I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series!!!

    Great plot

    Every one thinks there parents are evil but for these kids they are. They have to run if they want to survive and control developing powers. This book is for teens who love Marvel and Sci-Fi.

    A great book for young and old

    This graphic novel was great. The basis is six teens find out that their parents are super villians. The teens run away from home and plan out how they are going to kill their parents. Their parents are part of a secret society called the PRIDE. This comic takes place in the Marvel Universel, that means that all the big time comic charicters are in the series like Spiderman, Wolverine, Dr. Doom and so many more. You realy should buy this graphic novel.

    A surprisingly good book

    I don't usually read graphic novels, but this book was really good. I got it from the library, and I'm seriously considering buying it. I can't wait to read the other two books.

    Runaways Rocks

    This is one of my favorite new comics. I haven't been into comics for long,a nd I don't own many, but that's mostly because I find it hard to get into a comic in which the characters are cheesy (not in the good way) or unrealistic. Runaways really takes the cake on characters. All of the children are vividly depicted through the fantastic dialogue. Theore personalities really shine out in the way they talk, and do they ever talk! Highly character and dialogue driven, this is a fantastic piece of work that will make teenagers feel that, maybe, they're not so alone int he way they feel about their families.
