"Basically, 'The Avengers' came along and everything else at Marvel got put on hold for a year," said Pearce. "But the script is there and we're good to go. They're very happy with it..."
Marvel Comics' "Runaways" was created by "Lost" writer Brian K. Vaughan and illustrator Adrian Alphona.
The story follows a group of five rebellious, LA teenagers who discover that their parents are actually part of a secret 'supervillain cabal' that controls the West.
But the teens plan to stop their parents, using a variety of their inherited super-abilities and tough street smarts to try and save the day.
