Comic Runaways For The Big Screen

Brian K. Vaughan, who co-created the series with artist Adrian Alphona, is
writing the adaptation. Vaughan is also noted as a co-producer and writer on TV
hit ‘Lost’.

As opposed to other Marvel characters getting the silver screen treatment, such
as the Hulk and Spider-Man — who have been around since the 1960s and are
pop-culture fixtures — the heroes in “Runaways” are relatively new,
with the comic series launching in 2002.

‘Runaways’ follows a group of teenagers who find that some family
secrets are bigger than others when they discover their parents are actually
super-villains. 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.
