A major theme in the early years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the rejection of adult authority figures. Buffy and the Scooby Gang were constantly in conflict with symbols of authority. Principal Snyder was a perpetual thorn in the side of our heroes, a disciplinarian goon who took pleasure in berating the students of Sunnydale High. The Watcher's Council turned out to be a corrupt organization, arrogantly treating Buffy like a disposable weapon. This theme was best demonstrated by (...) - Reviews

Marvel's Runaways: A Great Beginning that Needs a Great Ending
I like to encourage my kids to read comics but can't always get them to read the stuff I like. (Annoying when they have minds of their own.)
However, the eldest daughter found exactly what she was looking for in Marvel's Runaways series.
That is might soon become a major motion picture thrills her to no end. Except she's worried that it might be based on the inferior later issues and not the earlier (...) - Reviews

Runaways: Dead End Kids, by Joss Whedon and Michael Ryan, hardcover, 152 pages, Marvel Comics, list price: $19.99
Five years ago, this group of super-powered children defeated their supervillain parents and headed out on their own. Though they'd prefer to be superheroes, they're too frightened by the war raging in the Marvel universe over meta-human registration to announce themselves publicly. The Japanese witch Minoru leads her spunky crew of outcasts — Karolina, a girl made of (...) - Reviews

Let's just get this out of the way right off the bat: you would struggle to find a bigger Joss Whedon fan than me. I own the DVDs for every season of Buffy and Angel, along with Firefly and Serenity. If I see his name on a comic, I buy it - and I am rarely (...) - Reviews

Plot: "Dead End Kids" wraps up.
Comments: Time travel stories can get tricky in their internal logic and execution. Most people have a blind spot when it comes to flipping around the time line in a story. As my friend Lou Anders would say "most folks still can't figure out the 'note to self' tricks Bill and Ted did." A time travel story demands a particular form of structural trickery. A good writer gets to twist the rules of cause and effect inside out or just make it seem that way. Joss (...) - Reviews

I went through an honest, semi-serious bout of depression when “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Angel”, and “Firefly” all disappeared from my television screen. I had felt rather “close” to many of the characters on these shows, and it saddened me that I wouldn't be able to follow them any longer. But wow - if I had known what the cancellation of his TV shows would do to Joss Whedon in terms of comics production, I would've started my (...) - Reviews

Advance Review - Runaways #28 - Writer: Joss Whedon - Pencils: Michael Ryan - Inker: Rick Ketcham
Joss Whedon is something of a big name. After creating hit TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, he has turned his hand to comics. Unsurprisingly his strong voice and great characterization has carried over to this new medium, with only pacing being an occasional issue.
Runaways is a book created by Brian K Vaughan (Ex Machina, Ultimate X-Men, Y the Last Man) about a group of kids who (...) - Reviews

Another big hardback full o' fun from Marvel: Runaways Vol. 3, the latest glossy, oversized prestige collection of Brian K. Vaughan's ongoing series about a little superhero team comprising the disaffected children of supervillains.
As the series has continued, the novelty and impact of the first story arc have faded, but Vaughan's smart writing and brutal willingness to reconfigure his team with death or radical relationship changes have kept things fresh.
Joss Whedon has been scripting (...) - Reviews
