Runaways #8

Part two of "Teenage Wasteland" arrives with a striking Jo Chen cover that perfectly captures the series' moody energy — a dark-clad young woman with wind-swept hair and glowing hands moves dynamically through a swirl of black feathers and startled birds. Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona continue their run on one of Marvel's most compelling teen ensemble books, and this 2004 installment shows the creative team firing on all cylinders.
