This is my favorite Marvel book.

Its kind of funny calling them the Runaways because its not like theyre the Avengers or the X-Men.

Marvel

They were not formed with a mission and a purpose.

At the beginning of this series they are scattered to the four winds and half of them are dead.

One of the challenges now is who are they when theyre apart?

They got thrown together, but now theyve been pulled apart.

Theyre trying to figure out who they really are without each other…

This arc is very much about them choosing to be together.

There is also an actual adversary in this story as well.

Although it might not seem that way from the get-go.

and then the parents got killed.

So thats one of the struggles to anyRunawaysstory.

Youll start seeing that but there are story elements that we dont want to give away.

This isnt Rowells first time dipping her toe into the medium.

ForRunaways, Rowells creative partner will be Anka something she and Lowe are very excited about.

Thats why Kris is so perfect.

One thing that is good about theRunawaysis that they have a short history.

Ive reread all of their appearances.

And thats the best comic book.

Why wouldnt you go back and read it?

Its so great, says Rowell.

Also the reason I wanted to write this book is because these characters feel related to my own.

They resonated with me because thats the kind of characterIlike to write.

Its the same kind of story.

Its kind of likeThe Force Awakens, says Rowell.

You want theStar Warsuniverse you love and then great stories inside of it.

Thats how I feel aboutRunaways.

I dont need to do anything to them other than telling great stories with them.

Rowell and AnkasRunawayswill make their debut this September.
