1. The Good Die Young

Runaways #13-17 (2003)

It's kind of fitting that this is the best Runaways arc. It's the full culmination of the entire 2003 series, and a great one at that. After a year of build-up, we finally get the Runaways vs The Pride showdown. And we finally get to see who the traitor is. And it's"¦HUGE SPOILERS, SO DON'T KEEP READING THIS SENTENCE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT THE MOLE IN THE RUNAWAYS IS…Alex Wilder. Honestly, the best mole choice they could have possibly made.

Alex was the first issue's POV character, and seeing him reveal himself as the big bad is a really great moment. And it’s exciting to see the rest of the team beat his ass. Also, the Gibborim are so friggin' Marvel Comics. They’re giant biblical monsters that want to destroy the earth. And I love them. Plus, The Pride get a bit more character development here, as they’re depicted as the backbiting sociopaths they are. It’s a satisfying conclusion to a wonderful series.

The comics that follow are all good, but this is the height they reached. The Best Runaways story of all time.
