Runaways #10

This Runaways issue was so filled with characters that you might have missed the big dramatic “BUH-Buh-BUUUUHHH!” toward the end of the comic. Then again, you may have been too confused by all of the ads in this one, I mean there is a heapin’ helping.

No matter what you think of Runaways (and I really don’t care what you think at all about anything) you have to know two things: 1. Brian K Vaughan is cooler than any other living pop-writer [note the usage of the term ‘pop’ - meaning he writes stuff like Ultimate X-Men and Runaways (I know he writes Y the Last Man and Ex Machina, and they are not exactly pop, though they are pop-ular) and uses characters like the Avengers and Doctor Doom]; 2. Adrian Alphona is a badass artist who is not afraid to go light and touchy on the lines. This, I believe in anthropological terms would be seen as a sign of a trusting person because Adrian relies on his inker and colorist to not destroy his brilliant and open work.

I think that I should receive an award for the punctuation in the above sentence.
