“True Believers Chapter One”

"True Believers Chapter One" launches the Runaways with a sharp, urgent pulse: six teenagers, newly orphaned and on the run, step into the shadows of Los Angeles not as heroes, but as survivors. Written by Brian K. Vaughan and drawn with raw energy by Adrian Alphona, the issue plunges into a clash with the Wrecking Crew, a mysterious offer from the Excelsior group, and a chilling visit from a machine bearing a future Gertie—her message clear, her warning dire. Jo Chen’s striking cover captures the group’s uneasy unity, setting the tone for a story where trust is fragile and the past is already shaping the future.
