For many years, I've heard rumors of this series and how awesome it is. So I came into this with high expectations. Also, I managed to pick up the first three volumes for $20 last week. It was a ridiculous deal for these large hardcover editions. I think the first two have about 30 issues of the comic between them (haven't looked at the third one yet). I'm not overly thrilled with the peach color used on the spine of the books though, that could be better, I think. 
 But all that is beside the point. The point is, this is the best procrastinationary thing I could have hoped for. Yes, while I avoid doing the thing that is stressing me out so much, I can open this up and enjoy and issue, or two, or six, before I go on to work on other things. The story is about a bunch of well-to-do teens in the Malibu area of California are forced to hang out together one night each year while their parents do this charity fundraiser thing together. 
 Well, the bored kids discover a secret passageway in the house that lets them go spy on what their parents are doing. Turns out, there in the middle of some occult ritual where they sacrifice a girl. 
 The kids, it turns out, run away. They also discover that their parents just aren't evil... their SUPER evil. Like, supervillians of the highest order. So much so that LA has kinda been off limits to super powered baddies because they don't let folks just show up and be evil without their permission. And they're so angry that their kids... they might just be willing to kill them. 
 I loved it. It's a great story of kids learning to be adults, and of the one time when teen rebellion is actually a good thing, and not just a sign of teens being jerks for jerkiness sake. 
 Really good. I highly recommend.
