If you haven’t been reading my book blog, then you haven’t seen me raving about how much I love Runaways.

I love Runaways.

So I was shocked to discover that Brian K Vaughn will no longer be writing Runaways but that Joss Whedon will be taking over. (For those who weren’t going to click through, that’s a link to an interview with both Brian K Vaughan and Joss Whedon talking about Runaways.)

That’s right. Joss Whedon.

(Pardon me while I squeal.)

Not that I don’t adore what Brian K Vaughan has been writing, but if he’s going to leave, maybe adding Joss Whedon will finally get Runaways some of the recognition it deserves.

Right now you can see a preview of Runaways #25, but I don’t recommend viewing it if you think you’d like to go back and read the entire series, because the first several pages recap much of the last seven graphic novels, giving away most of the big story points of the earlier stories (like who lives and who dies), but if you’re not sure if you’re interested, this is a great place to check out the series, as (previously mentioned) you get a recap of their previous history.

So many thanks to “Charles” at The War on Folly for making note of that. I can hardly wait for the next graphic novel to come out!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
