Runaways issue #1

[dahlia_moon]

per weber_dubois22's request, who wanted to see Alex Wilder's introduction. These are the first six pages of issue #1.



















(Egads, how very much I want this comic to be continued. Or a movie would be nice. But that'd be asking for too much.)

I really hope they cast as close to age appropriate for all the characters, myself.

That's part of why I picked him -- aside from being a talented black geek -- he's pretty young. I guess 27 may be a little too old, but he's got a babyface so...

Glover tends to go for the really wild, whacky comedic roles, though. He was almost always the crazy guy in his comedy channel-thing - would he be able to do justice to Alex's more subdued, calculating qualities?

I love Donald Glover, but I would prefer the teens to be played by actual young people, very early 20s at the oldest (also, I really don't see him as Alex). The 30-year-olds-playing-teens thing is a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure there are enough talented younger actors around that there is no real need to cast adults who are approaching 30 to play teenagers. It's one thing if it's a guilty pleasure like Pretty Little Liars (where it's fun to laugh at the fact that some of the "teens" are older than the teachers), but I'd want to take a Runaways movie a little more seriously.

One of my favorite things in Glee was a teacher telling a 'teenager' with crow's feet that it would be illegal for him to be in a sex tape, since it would count as kiddie porn.
