A Man With An Agenda

I read this while I was interning at the local public library when it first came out, and I thought it was a pretty good. Seeing it and the second volume in the bookswap, I got them and my opinion stays the same. It sure as hell is more in-tune with kids and teens then the Power Pack ever were (remember them? ha!).

It is just because of that on-the-pulse touch that will date 'Runaways' in time, if it hasn't already. I will be the first to admit that what kids are into these days baffle me, one of my sister's friend's 8 year old daughter showed me her collection of Silly Bands and I couldn't help but think of myself solemnly explaining to my parents the Ninja Turtles.

'Runaways' is funny, sometimes cute and, as I've said a damn good try to attract kids to superhero comics when all they seem to care about is the latest issue of Shonen Jump. Apparently it's still going strong, so good on you Marvel.
