      Synopsis

      Rebellious teens Nico, Chase, Karolina, Molly, Victor, and Xavin are survivors. All children of super-villains, they turned against their evil elders to become amateur super heroes. But when the authorities chase them out of Los Angeles, the Runaways forge an uneasy alliance with East Coast crime boss Kingpin, placing them on a collision course with the killer vigilante Punisher. The ensuing disaster hurls the kids a century backward in time, trapping them in 1907 New York - home of child labor, quaint technology, and competing gangs of super-folk known as "Wonders." Can the Runaways get back to the future? Find out in this timeless tale of comedy, romance, and old-fashioned heroism!
      Collects Runaways #25-30.

      Whence The Folly Of Youth?by benjamin7373

      November 21, 2009: If you're a fan of Joss Whedon's "Firefly", of outsize characters straining against the myriad forces arrayed against them, of the group dynamic under your microscope with an extra helping of powers and futuristic weaponry thrown in for kicks, this series is for you. The writing and fully-drawn characters will open the door; the action, change-of-pace story and tight plotting will make sure you stay. "Runaways" is a series enjoyed as one-shots or in the aggregate. Make the leap.

      November 11, 2009: As a young budding historian, I am always interested in how one brings history to other people. And this book was perhaps one of the better ways to get others interested in history. The writers really did some homework for this one.
