Those characters seem more fantastical to the Runaways than they do to us as readers, which in turn helps us to see them with new eyes. It’s surprising he did not, as Marvel was long since out of the game of creating new teams of characters wholesale without attaching them to another franchise.Īs a result, the Runaways cast offers something magical every time they do bump up against a Marvel stalwart. Vaughan could have just as easily penned them as a creator-owned title. Yet, part of the continuing gift of the Runaways – and part of why their new connections are so interesting – is that they never needed to be in the Marvel Universe in order to exist. Over time that initial direction has faded, new cast members have been added, and the Runaways have begun to make more connections across the Marvel Universe. Some of them discover inherent powers they were never aware of, while others inherit special artifacts or technology, but they are kids first and super-powered teens second. Instead, they are thrust together by the insane circumstance of their parent’s plotting.

They aren’t even friends with each other. They’re just kids – regular, average kids. The Runaways are are a team that are not a team and a heroes that don’t mean to be heroes. Vaughan, who would later write such modern classics of the medium as Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, and Saga. The Runaways are a unique gift to the Marvel Universe from author Brian K.
