A new bunch of 'Runaways'

Just so you can keep this straight in your head, there was already a movie this year called "The Runaways" that featured a lesbian. But Joan Jett is not involved with a new project that for now is also called "The Runaways." That's the job of Marvel Comics, since it's based on one of their titles. These particular runaways are a band of misfit teenagers - one alien, one witch, one mutant Hulk(ish) kid, one with telepathic talents, one supergenius and one mad scientist - who discover that their parents are supervillains. The alien teen also turns out to be a lesbian who becomes involved with a male alien who conveniently shape-shifts so that he can love her as a woman. Now "that" is a considerate boyfriend who puts his lady's needs above his own. There's not a cast yet, no release date, no nothing. Just a promise that this one will probably make a lot more money than its recent namesake.
