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 bought the first volume on a whim and have to say I was a little dissapointed.
I've seen a lot of great scans from later appearances, so I'm still interested, but the interest is soured somewhat.

When you say 'first volume', do you mean the first six issues? Because the art and the writing improve so drastically as the series moves on, to the point where Vaughan and Alphona became one of my favourite creative teams by the end of their first run.

That was the impression I got too. Still, it's priority in the trade pull list is low at the moment.

Yeah, it definitely does get better. I think the first six issues or so set up the premise so it can seem like it's moving a bit slow, and you can lose interest, but it does get rather exciting later on.

The first six issues do have to dick around getting the kids set up with their powers and establishing the status quo. By the time we get to the two-parter featuring Cloak and Dagger, I think Vaughan had hit a pretty solid style of writing, and when Alphone rejoined him after said two-parter, it got even better. The Good Die Young is a classic story arc, frankly. Amazingly fast-paced and yet slow enough to give us all the details we need.
