“EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG” SOMETIME IN THE MID 90’S THE (THEN) WACHOWSKI BROTHERS READ GRANT MORRISONS THE INVISIBLES GRAPHIC NOVELS, THEY WERE SO MOVED BY THE WORKS, THEY DECIDED TO LIFT 75% OF THE IDEAS, VISUALS, AND CONCEPTS, & PASS IT OFF AS THEIR OWN BRAINCHILD. THE REST IS FILM HISTORYTHE INVISIBLES ARE A COUNTERCULTURE CELL LEAD BY KING MOB (MORPHEUS) AND RAGGED ROBIN (TRINITY) INSTEAD OF OCCURRING IN A COMPUTER SIMULATED DREAM WORLD THE MATRIX IS HAPPENING IN MULTIPLE PLANES AND TIMES, EACH INVISIBLE GAINING ACCESS TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF PSYCHIC ATTUNEMENTJACK FROST (NEO) IS SET TO BE THE NEXT ENLIGHTENED MASTER, HE IS THE KEY TO THE INVISIBLES WINNING THEIR PSYCHIC WAR AGAINST THE OUTER CHURCH, HE GREW UP AS A FOSTER YOUTH IN LIVERPOOL.ROBIN IS THE HEROIN OF THE INVISIBLES, TIME TRAVELING TO ENSURE THE MISSION SUCCEEDS, BECOMING THE TEAMS LEADERLORD FANNY IS A POWERFUL BRAZILIAN SHAMAN. S/HE IS A GIFTED MEDIUM, & CONJURER (THE MATRIX/ MIRROR SCENE IS BASICALLY STOLEN FROM LORD FANNYS SHAMANIC INITIATION AT AGE ELEVEN). TOGETHER THIS UNLIKELY GROUP OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS, GO ON A MIND BENDING, TRANS-DIMENSIONAL, TIME- HOPPING ROLLER COASTER RIDE TO SAVE EXISTENCE, & CREATE A NEW PARADIGM FOR 2012. BUT YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT DID YOU? THE MATRIX HAD YOUTHE INVISIBLE BECAME A HYPERSIGIL FOR GRANT MORRISON, AS THE TRIALS HE PUT KING MOB THROUGH IN THE SERIES, HE PHYSICALLY UNDERWENT ALSO, MANIFESTING GIRLFRIEND AFTER GIRLFRIEND, ALL ASPECTS OF RAGGED ROBIN.  SO MUCH OF THE MATRIX WAS LIFTED FROM THE PAGES OF HIS MASTERWORK, BUT HE ISN’T BITTER ABOUT IT.  HE IS GLAD A PART OF THE “PERSONAL AWAKENING” MESSAGE GOT OUT.  EVEN IF IT WAS CONVOLUTED AND WITH MOST DUPLICATED CONCEPTS, THE STRUCTURE CAN BE MIRRORED, BUT NEVER THE ESSENCE OR ENERGY THAT CREATED IT.  ALL IN ALL THE INVISIBLES IS ONE BIG MIND BENDING TRIP. WELCOME TO THE REAL

GETTING LOST INSIDE A GOOD STORY IS LIKE GETTING LOST INSIDE THE BELLY OF THE BEAST.  IN OUR LAST POST WE INTRODUCED THE BASIC PREMISE OF THE RUNAWAYS, BUT AS WE REFLECTED, AND REVISITED THE SERIES WE HAD TO GIVE EACH CAST MEMBER THEIR DUE.  BESIDES THE STORY, BRIAN K VAUGHAN BREATHES YOUTH, COMPLEXITY, WIT, AND EXUBERANCE INTO HIS DIVERSE CAST OF POSTMODERN ANTI-HEROES. WE FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH RUNAWAY, NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY SET THE MARK FOR A RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY, AND PHILOSOPHICALLY POSTMODERN TAKE ON THE HERO GENRE.ALEX WILDER IS THE SERIES P.O.V CHARACTER, AN AFRICAN AMERICAN TEENAGER IMMERSED IN THE ONLINE WORLD OF M.M.O.R.P.G.S,. ITS IN HIS MALIBU MANSION WHICH HE DISCOVERS HIS PARENTS HIDDEN LAIR. HIS RATIONAL THINKING AND NATURAL AFFINITY FOR STRATEGY AND TACTICS MAKE ALEX THE DE FACTO LEADER OF THE RUNAWAYSGERTRUDE YORKES IS THE PHILOSOPHER, THE VOICE OF REASON, THE MOST SAVVY OF THE GROUP.  EARLY IN THE SERIES WE SEE HER ARGUING THE FINER POINTS OF CAPITALIST VS SOCIALIST MINDSETS AGAINST HER PARENTS, (WHO HAPPEN TO TIME TRAVEL FOR “WORK”) IMAGE A GENETICALLY ENGINEERED TELEPATHIC VELOCIRAPTOR FROM THE 87TH CENTURY FOR HER B’NOT MITZVAH GIFT. NO JOKEKAROLINA DEAN IS THE STARCHILD OF THE CAST. HER PARENTS ARE FRANK AND LESLIE DEAN, HOLLYWOOD MOVIE STARS.  KAROLINA IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE GROUP.  THE OPENHEARTED, SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS, MUSIC LOVING VEGAN, IS AN EXILED ALIEN PRINCESS. SHE GLOWS, SHE CAN FLY, HER GROOVY CODENAME IS “LUCY IN THE SKY”NICO MINORU IS THE MORAL COMPASS OF THE RUNAWAYS, IT WOULD BE FITTING THAT HER STRICT CHRISTIAN UPBRINGING WAS USED TO CONCEAL THE FACT THAT SHE COULD POSSIBLY BE THE MOST POWERFUL SORCERESS ON THE PLANET.  HER MOTHERS STAFF OF ONE, AN ARTIFACT OF HER JAPANESE ANCESTRY CHOSE HER AS ITS TRUE OWNER, THE CATCH IS NICO CAN ONLY CAST EACH SPELL ONCE!CHASE STEIN IS THE JOCK OF THE RUNAWAYS, THE OLDEST AND MOST STREET SMART OF THE CAST.  HIS VARSITY LEVEL LACROSSE SKILLS DON’T EARN HIM ANY BROWNIE POINTS WHEN BOTH OF HIS PARENTS ARE GENIUS LEVEL SCIENTISTS AND INVENTORS.  AT EIGHTEEN HE HIDES THE DARK SECRET THAT HIS FATHER IS ABUSIVE TOWARDS HIM FROM HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS.  TIME AND TIME AGAIN, WHEN YOUR BACK IS AGAINST THE WALL, CHASE WILL ALWAYS PULL YOU OUT.MOLLY HAYES IS THE YOUNGEST OF THE CHILDREN, AT ELEVEN YEARS OLD. THE OLDER RUNAWAYS ACT AS A SHIELD, TO PROTECT MOLLYS INNOCENCE FROM THE HORRIFIC EVENTS THEY FIND THEMSELVES CAUGHT UP IN.  ALTHOUGH THE SMALLEST AMONG THEM, THE ONSET OF HER NEW MUTANT POWERS REVEAL SHE PACKS ONE MEAN PUNCH.THE MOLE.  A SUBPLOT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SERIES.  SOMEONE IN PLAYING BOTH SIDES, AND FEEDING THE PRIDE BREADCRUMBS OF INFORMATION. ITS NOT WHO YOU THINK IT IS.  BUT RE-VISITING THIS EPIC SERIES. WE STARTED TO SEE TOO MANY PLOT SIMILARITIES ANOTHER STORY THAT CAME DOWN THE LINE, FROM A RIVAL COMPANY.  YOUNG JUSTICE TAKES A MAJORITY OF THE SAME PLOT BEATS, AND THEMES FROM RUNAWAYS, SEE SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS.  THE PRIDE, CONVENIENTLY BECOMES THE LIGHT, AND INSTEAD OF BRINGING DOWN THE ORGANIZATION FROM WITHIN.  THE YOUNG JUSTICE TEAM “INFILTRATE” THE LIGHT, INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE MOLE ON THEIR TEAM, THEY USE THREE. “HOMAGE” BORDERING ON PLAGIARISM IS NOTHING NEW IN THE INDUSTRY.  THE MATIX 1999 WAS FAMOUSLY “LIFTED” FROM GRANT MORRISONS INVISIBLES 1994 GRAPHIC NOVEL.  IT’S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT COPIES OF THE GRAPHIC NOVELS WERE LITTERED AROUND THE MOVIES WRITERS ROOM, AND THE SERIES WAS REQUIRED READING.  IT’S OBVIOUS THAT THAT RUNWAYS (2003) WAS THE MAIN INSPIRATION FOR DCS (VERY WELL PRODUCED) YOUNG JUSTICE(2011). SORRY BRO, JUST SAYINGWITH LONG HEARD WHISPERS IN HOLLYWOOD, OF A BIG SCREEN ADAPTATION OF THE RUNAWAYS BY MARVEL STUDIOS, WE HAVE OUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT THIS GRAPHIC MASTERPIECE ISN’T LOST IN TRANSLATION, BECAUSE OF OUR MONEY YOU CANT BEAT SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY PERFECT. THE RUNAWAYS ARE THAT SPECIAL X X

AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES, ALL YOUNG PEOPLE THINK THEIR PARENTS ARE EVIL. . . BUT WHAT IF THEY REALLY ARE?THE PREMISE IS INTRIGUING, BUT IT IS THE EXECUTION THAT IS TRULY BREATHTAKING.  THE RUNAWAYS TAKES THE CONCEPT AND HITS THE GROUND RUNNING.  IN OUR ADVENTURES IN CULTURE AND COUNTERCULTURE, IT HAS ALWAYS SEEMED EVIDENT THAT THE ONLY WAY THESE MULTI-NATIONAL CONGLOMERATES WILL BE TAKEN DOWN, IS FROM WITHIN.  BY THE INHERITORS OF THOSE EMPIRES.ALEX WILDER, GERTRUDE YORKES, KAROLINA DEAN, CHASE STEIN, AND MOLLY HAYES APPEAR TO BE THE PRIVILEGED, SOMEWHAT SHELTERED ONLY CHILDREN OF SIX OF LOS ANGELES MOST ELITE FAMILIES.  BUT THESE TEENAGERS SOON FIND OUT THAT A LIFE OF PRIVILEGE COMES A PRICE. TRUE HEROISM IS AN EGOLESS ACTAT THE CORE OF RUNAWAYS BRIAN K VAUGHAN DELVES DEEPLY INTO THE SINS OF THE FATHER AS IT’S CENTRAL CONCEPT.  “PRIDE & JOY” “TEENAGE WASTELAND” & “THE GOOD DIE YOUNG” ACTS I , II, & III DELIVER READERS A TRUE GRAPHIC MASTERPIECE.  OPENING A GRAPHIC NOVEL WITH A RITUAL MURDER WITHIN LOS ANGELES HIGH SOCIETY IS ONE BALLSY PLAY. WE WERE IMMEDIATELY HOOKEDPREMIERING OVER A DECADE AGO, THE RUNAWAYS RE-DEFINED WHAT A COMIC COULD DO, WITH AMAZING WRITING, EQUALLY BRILLIANT ART (ADRIAN ALPHONA) AND EXCEPTIONAL COLORING (CHRISTINA STRAIN)  LOOKING BACK NOW THE PRIDE, IS THE TEMPLATE THAT WAS LIFTED LATER BY DC COMICS FOR THEIR “YOUNG JUSTICE” SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON VENTURE.  WHEN WE WATCHED SOLSTICE, THE VIDEO BLACK CHILD WAS BLACKLISTED FROM YOUTUBE FOR. THIS GATHERING BECOMES THE MORE OMINOUS. THIS SHIT IS FOR REALRITUAL SACRIFICE IS A REAL THING, IF YOU WERE TO BELIEVE WIKIPEDIA (ILLUMINATI SMOKESCREEN) HUMAN SACRIFICE In modern times, even the practice of animal sacrifice has virtually disappeared from all major religions (or has been re-cast in terms of ritual slaughter), and human sacrifice has become extremely rare. Most religions condemn the practice, and present-day secular laws treat it as murder. In a society which condemns human sacrifice, the term ritual murder is used. COUGH COUGH SMELLS DISINFOFOR FALLING DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, THESE TEENS ARE IN OVER THEIR HEADS, BUT NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A RESOURCEFUL MIND, THESE TEENAGERS MAY HAVE BEEN SHELTERED, BUT GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES THESE RUNAWAYS HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH SAVVY TO THINK ON THEIR FEET.  IF WE HAD TO THROW AWAY ALL OUR COMICS, WE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP OUR RUNAWAYS RUN.  A CODEX DISGUISED AS A GRAPHIC NOVEL.  IN MANY WAYS THE RUNAWAYS PRESENTS A REAL WORLD GLIMPSE INTO THE MINDS OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
