Runaways #1
This volume collects the first story arc of the 2005 relaunch of Runaways, following a group of Los Angeles teenagers who discover their parents are part of a secret supervillain cabal. The team, including Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Molly Hayes, and Alex Wilder, must rely on their newfound abilities and a genetically engineered dinosaur named Old Lace to survive. The collection also introduces a crossover with Cloak and Dagger, tying the Runaways into the larger Marvel Universe.
The Runaways #1 (2005) kicks off a gripping six-part saga with "Pride and Joy, Part 1 of 6," as the teens confront the dark origins of their parents' secret organization. Written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Adrian Alphona, with inks by Craig Yeung, colors by Christina Strain, and letters by Randy Gentile, the story unfolds with tense revelations and shifting loyalties—especially as one of their own may be feeding secrets to The Pride. The cover, by Adrian Alphona and David Newbold, captures the group's fractured unity in a moment of quiet dread.
