With Scott Pilgrim hitting theaters this August, up next in the “Marty’s favorite comics get filmed” list is an adaptation of Bryan K. Vaughan’s Runaways.

Runaways, a story about what happens when a group of teens discover that their parents are a group of supervillans, has long been a favorite comic of mine, and they’re starting right at the top with a quality director.

The question is - which scoop is right?

The main one, which I’m running with, is that Peter Sollett, best known for directing Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist will be helming the film.  I think he’s an inspired choice, who’d nail the proper tone for the film.

This hasn’t stopped a second scoop from appearing, however, stating that Runaways will be handled by a comic fan favorite, who even did some writing on the comic in the past…Joss Whedon.

Either way, I’m excited. We’ll find out which is right soon enough, I’m sure.
