Collection: Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways – Marvel Comics – 2006 – Volume 1 – Limited Series – #1–4

📘 Series Summary

As the Superhuman Registration Act tears the veteran hero community apart, the next generation of Marvel icons finds itself in the crosshairs. In this 4-issue Limited Series written by Zeb Wells and illustrated by Stefano Caselli, the Los Angeles-based Runaways are forced into the conflict when the pro-registration forces of the Civil War expand their reach. When the Young Avengers travel to the West Coast to offer their assistance, the meeting is anything but friendly.

The story explores the deep-seated distrust between two teams of "rogue" heroes. The Runaways, whose lives are built on avoiding adult authority, struggle to trust the Young Avengers, who model themselves after the very heroes enforcing the new law. Trapped within a high-security penal colony and hunted by a lethal adolescent killing machine, both teams must overcome their mutual dislike to survive. This run is a cult-favorite crossover that highlights the unique voices of both casts while significantly impacting their future trajectories in the Marvel Universe.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• A complete 4-issue limited series that brings together two of the most popular teen teams of the 2000s.
• Features Stefano Caselli's energetic art, perfectly capturing the youthful spirit and kinetic action of both groups.
• Iconic cover art by Jim Cheung, the definitive artist for the original Young Avengers.
• Explores the generational impact of Civil War, showing how the registration law affects those too young to vote but old enough to fight.
• Introduces a major conflict at a superhuman penal colony, raising the stakes for the captured teen heroes.
• Essential reading for fans of Brian K. Vaughan's Runaways and Allan Heinberg's Young Avengers.
