Runaways 6: Parental Guidance, by Vaughan & Alphona by cdm72 Pros: Great story and dialogue, still great art.
Cons: Still isn't the best series for younger readers. So I just finished volume 5 of the RUNAWAYS trade paperback collection (issues 13-18), called PARENTAL GUIDANCE, and I have to say this is probably my favorite of the 3 I’ve read so far. To recap, the RUNAWAYS are the children of a group of ...

Pet on Duty -- Watch Out For the Cat! by rmthunter Pros: Delightful romantic comedy, beautifully presented.
Cons: The "pet" thing gets a little out of control. The work of Nase Yamato was recommended to me by a colleague who is much more knowledgeable about manga and yaoi than I -- you know, the sort who's always running off to Tokyo for a convention and knows what's coming out before the license is ...

Runaways 5: Escape to New York, by Vaughan and Alphona by cdm72 Pros: Great dialogue, great art, love the interactions with the other Marvel characters.
Cons: This particular story just didn't do it for me. It’s been going on 12 years since I’ve read comic on a regular, monthly basis. In that time, there’ve been dozens of new titles come and go, probably some really great stuff I’ve missed--but probably even more rotten tripe. One title I’ve only recently ...
