highly recommended

This deluxe hardcover collects Runaways Volume 6: Parental Guidance and Runaways Volume 7: Live Fast, plus extras. In Parental Guidance, the secret super-villain society is back, but this all-new group isn't made up of the Runaways' evil parents. Who are these shadowy players, and what do they want with the Marvel Universe's next generation of heroes? Plus: When the youngest member of the Runaways is separated from her teammates, Molly Hayes must survive a night alone on the mean streets of Los Angeles! The 11-year-old mutant girl soon hooks up with a new group of runaways, but is their mysterious leader a hero or a villain? And in Live Fast, the Runaways say good-bye to the past, and make hard decisions about their future. Plus: Still reeling from the events of Young Avengers/Runaways, the teenage heroes must now confront a horrific enemy who threatens to tear the team apart. Collects Runaways #13-24.

Ran away with my heart

Runaways is one of my top three favorite comic book series. This hardcover trade is a must-have for collectors.

This hardcover trade collects Runaways Volume 2 issues #13-24
The Story Arcs:
Dead Ringers (issue 13)
Parental Guidance (issues 14-18)
Dead Means Dead (issues 19-21)
Live Fast (issues 22-24)

I suggest you pick up Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways as well. This trade, written by Zeb Wells with art by Stefano Caselli, occurs between issues 21 and 22 of Runaways. If you like the characters in Runaways, read the Young Avengers and Runaways crossover. You won't regret it.

This trade concludes Brian K. Vaughan's run as writer of Runaways. Issues 25 - 30 will be written by Joss Whedon. After Joss' brief run, Terry Moore will take over as writer of Runaways.

Collection of Runaways comic books in a hard cover book

Like new condition. Less expensive to buy this than all the comics individually. Haven't read yet; but I did read a Young Avengers comic book in which the Runaways were featured- and they were a pretty cool group of kids/outcasts/heroes.

Your Hard Earned Money Deserves To Be Spent On Something This Great

This book could not be more worthy of your cash. Instead of buying "Runaways" in those tiny little digest books, treat yourself to this beautiful, over-sized hardcover edition. The sheer size of the pages really allows fans to appreciate the art (pencilled by Adrian Alphona, complimented by Christina Strain's lush colors) and the details that go into making each page. The binding is strong, the covers are awesome, and the page quality is top-notch.

And, for all of those who aren't familiar with Brian K. Vaughan's writing, please stop reading this review right now and buy "Runaways." The story is amazing, compromised of some of the best comic book writing--or just writing, period--that I've ever read. This story is made of an astonishing one-shot Molly story (#13), "Parental Guidance" (#14-18) which is easily the best arc of the series, "Dead Means Dead" (#19-21), and "Live Fast" (#22-24). I won't bog this down by reviewing each arc [for my review of #12-18, click here:Runaways, Vol. 6: Parental Guidance/ for my review for #19-24, click here: Runaways Vol. 7: Live Fast ], but I can safely say that you'd be hard pressed to find a better team: writer Brian K. Vaughan, penciller Adrian Alphona, colorist Christina Strain, and cover artist Jo Chen are forces of life in the world of comics, and they come together on this project with beautiful results.

If Runaways, Vol. 1 is called "Season One" by fans, then this book acts as the finale of the second season. This is Brian K. Vaugahn's last work on "Runaways," but the series is not over. The "third season" starts off with a six-issue arc by Joss Whedon (Runaways: Dead End Kids Premiere HC (Runaways)) which I can only hope will someday be collected into an oversized hardcover. But until that day, we have this. Marvelous buy.

9/10

I loved it!!!

What a great book I didn't think I would like it but then I heard great ythings about the writer and like i said I enjoyed it very much!!!!

Fun book, still a good read

This sure is a fun book... Consistently engaging and playful, written with a light touch that makes it a breath of fresh air in the current crop of comics. It helps to know that there's stuff that happens in the "Young Avengers/Runaways" crossover that is referenced in the start of this book... Nothing that really has an effect on your ability to enjoy this volume, but you might scratch your head at a couple of references... Otherwise: kick back and enjoy! (Axton)
