Comic Report: Runaways: The Good Die Young


Wow -- a lot happened in this volume.

We learn the history of the Pride and their ultimate plans for the world, and boy, is it a doozy.

And the only hope for the planet is this bunch??

The team has a final, intense and emotional showdown with their parents in an underwater base. The mole is revealed, and I was caught *completely* by surprise -- that is *not* who I thought was betraying the team.

The motivations are believable, and the kids' being torn at having to fight their parents to the death was completely understandable. I would have liked to have had more pages of that final fight and the dialogue of the parents and the kids -- our mole got way too much space to explain what he/she'd done. But Molly got a great moment, as did Chase, and I loved it.

Now that their reason for being a superteam is gone, what now?
