Runaways
I often go on a comic book binge around exam time, and this year my obsession is with Runaways. Yes, it's Marvel. Yes, it was made after 1992. Yes, they have done the coloring on a computer so it's full of gradations. But I do not care, I love it madly, especially because after the first few issues they start in with all the references to 80's-era Marvel, which is great - they make fun of Cloak and Dagger (one of the characters calls Dagger out on her ludicrously skanky outfit, which was great) and Power Pack (Julie Power is now living in LA, apparently, trying to break into show business). Plus, it's currently being written by Joss Whedon. What's not to love?

Have you seen any Next Wave: Agents of H.A.T.E.? It was pretty much just a short series featuring Marvel cast-offs, but it was hilarious.
