Teen heroes hit different depending on the era they’re introduced and how they develop over time. Spider-Man was the bullied nerd turned power fantasy with a monkey’s paw. Kitty Pryde is your kid sister who’s better than you at everything. Ms. Marvel was a plucky can-do superhero for the Obama era. The New Mutants were students-turned-superheroes forged in the fires of Reaganomics.
And the Runaways? The Runaways are a millennial mess.
And we love mess.
Check out this exclusive first look at next month’s Runaways #2, a “One World Under Doom” tie-in, and keep scrolling for the cover and solicit info for issue #4.
