Runaways #1 – Halloween Comic Fest 2017 is a special edition that gives readers a fantastic entry point into one of Marvel’s most beloved, yet often overlooked, teams of young heroes. This issue, released as part of the Halloween Comic Fest, brings together a perfect blend of teenage angst, supernatural mystery, and sharp-witted humour, all wrapped up in a story that’s ideal for both new fans and long-time followers of the series.
Written by Brian K. Vaughan, with art by Adrian Alphona, this issue reintroduces the Runaways, a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are secretly supervillains. After the shocking revelation, they band together to fight back against the corruption of their families and the dangerous secrets that are unfolding around them. This Halloween Comic Fest special, while rooted in the series' ongoing themes of betrayal, rebellion, and friendship, has an extra layer of Halloween charm, offering just the right mix of spooky vibes without losing the series' signature charm and wit.
The writing by Vaughan captures the emotional highs and lows of being a teenager caught between saving the world and navigating family drama. Her handling of the characters’ voices feels authentic and relatable, making them feel like real teenagers with problems that resonate with anyone — comic fan or not. The balance of humour and drama creates a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the issue, perfectly suited for the Runaways' unique tone.
Alphona’s artwork enhances the narrative with his clean, expressive style, blending dynamic action sequences with quieter, more personal moments. His ability to capture the emotional depth of the characters, along with their wild adventures, makes this an exciting and visually engaging read.
As a Halloween Comic Fest release, this issue holds a bit of extra charm with its seasonal nods, but it’s still fully rooted in the heart of the Runaways saga, making it a must-have for fans of the series or anyone looking to dive into Marvel’s young adult world.
