Vaughan eases his work load a bit

When I interviewed Brian K. Vaughan for Sunday’s Comics Fan column on his graphic novel “Pride of Baghdad,” we talked about his pretty impressive work load, which includes two regular Vertigo titles, a miniseries for Dark Horse and a Dr. Strange miniseries and the ongoing “Runaways” for Marvel. Now Vaughan has announced that he’s leaving “Runaways” with issue No. 24, along with co-creator and penciler Adrian Alphona. Marvel says it will announce the new creative team for “Runaways” soon at the Baltimore Summit, a gathering of comic-shop retailers.
