Every teenager thinks their parents are villains, but what if you found out they were really super villains? thus goes the premise of Runaways, created by Brian K Vaughan and Adrian Alphona for Marvel.

They all fizzled, except for Runaways, which had started to garner critical success. 8 years and 62 issues later, Runaways is widely considered one of the freshest ideas in mainstream comics.
