05/23/08 - The Marvel Comics series Runaways is getting the
big-screen treatment from Marvel Studios, with Brian K. Vaughan, who
co-created the series with artist Adrian Alphona, writing the
adaptation. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will act as producer.
Runaways launched in 2002 and won critical praise for its honest
portrayal of teens and their issues; in 2006, it won a Harvey Award for
best series. Runaways follows a group of teenagers who find that
some family secrets are bigger than others when they discover their
parents are actually supervillains. Running away from their homes, the
teens band together and begin a journey of discovery, both of their
parents' origins and of their own inherited powers, while trying to make
up for the evil done by their folks.
