Reviews

[Siobhan · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's extremely difficult to rate the individual chapters, therefore the following is a review of the first volume. In other words, chapters one through six.


I am a big fan of Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga series and have been meaning to dive into more of his work for a while. Finally, I have picked up the first volume of Runaways: Pride and Joy and found it to be an okay read.

I can certainly see why many enjoy this one, as there are lots of things I am interested to see more of. While I did find it enjoyable, it was clear that this was an introduction to the series. Lots was introduced and questions were raised, ensuring I wanted more, but there was nothing that made me go ‘this is such a unique concept’ in the way parts of Saga do. Although it did not blow my mind, I am curious enough to read the next volume.

All in all, this has not earned a spot on my must-read list of graphic novel series, but it has left me willing to read more.

¡Por fin más acción! No son escenas tan complejas pero me gusta como se va desarrollando la trama. Ahora sí creo que sea una historia muy intensa, pero al parecer cambiará al final todo lo que uno cree desde el principio.

The runaways have no more doubts about their parents' true natures when they are forced to face them and they attack them! They manage to get away, but they might have to surrender when the parents threaten the youngest of them, Molly.

Things are getting interesting!
