Runaways is a Marvel Comics series Brian K. Vaughan created in 2003. The premise is simple and effective: a group of teenagers discovers their parents are supervillains. The kids decide to fight back, stealing their parents’ technology and powers. The series stands out in Marvel’s catalog for its fresh characters and its willingness to let teenagers actually reject adult authority.

Vaughan wrote the first major arcs of Runaways before handing it off to other writers. The series collected across 13 volumes and was adapted into a Hulu TV series in 2017. It remains one of the most original additions to the Marvel universe in the 2000s.
