Runaway is a comic novel created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona. The lead characters are six kids whose parents have been best of friends and have stayed in touch despite their distance and difference in lifestyle. Yearly, the kids see each other during their parents' reunion. Unlike their parents, the kids don't like each other. Sick of being thrown at each other, they decided to spy on their parents in the last gathering. This is when they discovered a sickening truth - their parents aren't as ordinary as they thought they were. Their parents are actually super villains set out to destroy the world.
This is being published by Marvel Comics and has been hailed as the best comic novel that came out of the Marvel publication in thirty years. I agree.
The six kids decided that they cannot allow their parents to succeed in their plan and set out an elaborate plan to fight their parents. The six kids are later on discover that they inherited the powers of their parents:
• Alex Wilder, a prodigy, is considered the leader and tactician
• Nico Minoru is a powerful witch
• Karolina Dean is an alien
• Gertrude Yorkes has a telepathic link to a dinosaur
• Chase Stein takes possession of his father's powerful gloves
• Molly Hayes has an incredible strength
The kids runaway from their parents as they try and figure out a way on how to stop them. The problem is while they are getting used to their powers, they are also under pressure to know exactly what their parents are into and how to stop them.
The good thing about the comic novel is that it didn't veer away from the natural behavior of kids. They didn't act out or think like adults. The solution they offered when faced with a problems and their reactions to the whole thing remained very young. It is really a successful fusion of a youth story with a superhero one.
