It looks like Marvel studios is planning a film for the fairly fresh team comic Runaways. We get this heroic update from the Ice Fortress Of Yahoo:
Marvel Studios, riding high at the box office with “Iron Man,” is bringing the relatively new comic-book saga “Runaways” to the big screen.
“Runaways” follows a group of teenagers who find that some family secrets are bigger than others when they discover their parents are actually super-villains. After fleeing their homes, they band together and begin a journey of discovery, both of their parents’ origins and of their own inherited powers, while trying to make up for the evil done by their folks.
This comic book series began in 2002 and I have not read it, nor am I familiar with it. I must admit, the children of villains trying to redeem their bloodline through heroism – is a fantastic idea. I am currently reading (slowly) the Watchmen and I am enjoying it very much. Perhaps I will give this series a shot next (if you dudes say it is worth it).
I would appreciate any feedback that you guys would have about this series. It sounds cool and I would very much like to know your thoughts.
