Runaways
b'
To kick off book four, we\'re checking in on a Brenna fave with a doozy of a hook: Runaways, which features a group of kids who discover their parents are supervillains and set out to stop them.\\xa0
Joe isn\'t quite as enamoured, in part because the art doesn\'t sit right with him (leading to a discussion of comic sizing and who the intended audience for this imprint was). Still, there\'s something laudable about a book that presents a tragic backstory for its characters and then lets them move past it.
Less successful is Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage\'s TV series, which takes ages to get going and mistakenly spends too much time on the parents. While it has a sunny teen vibe and great music, and Rhenzy Feliz and Lyrica Okano are well cast, the show is simply too labourious to get into!
