7. X-Men/Runaways
X-Men/Runaways FCBD #1
I wish more people would read this.
It's written by Brian K. Vaughan. It's drawn by Skottie Young. It's great! And it was free!
Officially titled We Don't Need No Education, the story seemingly takes place between East Coast/West Coast and Parental Guidance, and it features the X-Men fighting the Runaways. That’s really all it is. It's an 11-page Free Comic Book Day special, so there's not much room for much else. But it turns out incredibly well!
The team from the X-Men side is the Astonishing Squad, which is also perfect. Astonishing X-Men is the X-Men's return to being straight-up superheroes after the Morrison years and their influence. The whole thing reads like the fight comic you would want from these characters. Old Lace is missing, and the Runaways are looking for her. They run into the X-Men, who want to "save" Molly from this band of troublesome teens. A fight ensues and is resolved. Ta-dah!
