"Runaways"
"Runaways" is the latest Marvel Comics book to get the big-screen treatment from Marvel Studios.

Brian K. Vaughan, who co-created the series with artist Adrian Alphona, is writing the adaptation, for which Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will act as producer. Vaughan is also a co-producer and writer on ABC's "Lost."

As opposed to other Marvel characters getting the silver screen treatment, such as the Hulk and Spider-Man -- who have been around since the 1960s and are pop-culture fixtures -- the heroes in "Runaways" are relatively new, with the comic series launching in 2002.

The title was critically praised for its honest portrayal of teens and their issues and in 2006 won a Harvey Award for best series.

"Runaways" follows a group of teenagers who find that some family secrets are bigger than others when they discover their parents are actually super-villains. Running away from their homes, the teens band together and begin a journey of discovery, both of their parents' origins and of their own inherited powers, while trying to make up for the evil done by their folks.

While Marvel has already scheduled its next four films through 2011, "Runaways," like the company's "Ant-Man" project, remains in the incubation stages.

Vaughan is well known in comic circles for his creator-owned works including "Y: The Last Man," which is in development at New Line, and "Pride of Baghdad."

Vaughan is repped by CAA.

You should seriously read up at least to the end of Vaughan's run (The Whedon run has been massively derailed mostly due to massive delays from the slow-ass artist. Seriously, 6 issues took an entire year for that guy. Boo). You can get like 12 issues in hardcover for like $25 and it is full of hot and nice huge glossy pages <3

What was the last issue of Vaughan's? Cause I read up to a little after Alex's whole turn and end and when the whole Chase/Gert thing started and that just seemed so contrived and guh that I was like, "WHAT? this isn't what I signed up for D:"

The first series went to #18 and then second series Brian/Adrian left at issue 24, for a total of 42.

The Gert/Chase actually started to work a lot better towards the end of that run more.

I was actually thinking the other day that they should make another superhero tv show, and brian k. vaughn should write it. and then i thought, well, why should he make up something new when Runaways would make a great tv show...
