Runaways News!!

[sdelmonte]

Last week, Brian Vaughan announced he was leaving Runaways, saying that as much as he loved his creation, it was time to go. I was surprised, and said that most likely, I would drop it after he left. There were almost no writers in the MArvel stable )or even not esclusinve to DC and thus available) I could see taking it over and doing a good job.

Well, Marvel found the one writer I do trust...

JOSS WHEDON!!!

Wow. I guess I won't be dropping it after all.

And those sales that were once so low that the book wasd cancelled? That might be a thing of the past for a while.

Interesting. I'm not sure if that'll be enough to get me buying the book again, however. I read the beginning of Whedon's X-Men book and it just didn't grab me. I bought the first run of Runaways but never found myself that grabbed either.

Oh well, YMMV and all that.

The second series of Runaways hasn't been as good as the first, but it's still the only Marvel comic that interests me these days.

I enjoyed the first year of X-Joss, and will get his second year in TPBs since there was much I liked. But I think that he's a much better fit for Runaways than for X-Men (which is pretty much played out by now despite his skills).
