Runaways #24

A blonde teenager stands cool and composed beside a massive, red-eyed dinosaur with a pierced nose and a jaw full of sharp teeth — a striking duo that captures everything distinctive about Runaways in a single image. Jo Chen's painted cover for this February 2007 installment gives the pair a moody, cinematic quality that feels genuinely electric. With Brian K. Vaughan writing, Adrian Alphona on interior art, and Christina Strain's colors, "Live Fast, The End" promises the kind of sharp character work that made this series a standout in Marvel's 2007 lineup.
