9. Runaways

For: Your Friend Looking for a New YA Series

With the newly debuted (and widely acclaimed) Hulu series on the air, it shouldn't be hard to convince a friend to give Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's masterpiece a chance.

The series follows a group of teenagers who are friends because their parents hang out all the time. But when they discover that their parents hang out all the time because they're a supervillain cabal, they run away. Because they're smart kids, they also steal a bunch of stuff and become superheroes. And along with the show, that entire original comic book series was recently released in some nice big collections for you to gift.

We all have friends who flit between YA series like moths darting through flames. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, whatever that Mortal Instruments thing is, they love it all.

And, well, Runaways is exactly that kind of thing in comic book form, but also in the Marvel Universe.
