In this, the second volume of the Runaways series, the Runaways are still functioning basically in crisis mode, as they try to figure out how to stay out of the reach of The Pride and generally keep themselves alive. Life is further complicated by the arrival of Cloak and Dagger, who have been hired by the L.A. Police to hunt the kids down.

I am really looking forward to reading the third volume of this series. It's basically candy, but it's very tasty candy.

Vaughn (and colleagues) have introduced a group of characters in a unique storyline which will drawn in novice graphic novel readers - young and old alike. With powerful images and appropriate language usage and settings, Vaughn, etc. will entrance readers from beginning to end. I highly recommend this series!
