Thanks to the goodness of both jeanne_dark and teffers, I'm all caught up on Runaways now.

While it certainly is quite fresh and new, it could do with a lot of work. The characters are a bit to stereotypical, but for the most part, they're quite well developed (the exception being someone I rant about in the cut), and interesting. Still, the story's enthralling (I stayed up until 3AM last night because I had to finish it), and for the most part, the writing's decent.

The art goes from BRILLIANT to meh to decent to good, something that my inner manga-freak is still having trouble to accept. I do have to say that I LOVE the ways mouths are drawn in this. It creates quite a range of expressions, and it looks loooovely. Chase's my favorite Runaway, dunno why, maybe because he's the only one that doesn't really fit in the group, the only 'normal' one, and yet he doesn't let it get him down. Gert is awesome. Too awesome. And so is her pet. Karolina may be emo sometimes, but her flashy flashy looks make up for it XD Molly is a sweetheart.

( SPOILERS! ) I was quite tempted to buy both of the volumes today at the comic store, but I'd already gotten The Sandman's 8th volume, Stardust's graphic novel (I only had the book before), Fables vol 1 and xxxHolic's 7th tankubon, sooo. My budget was running kinda low already *g*
