I miss really good movies about the teen experience... but now I have manga.

I've yet to read an issue (but my partner does) and we both picked up on the "teen movie poster" theme, but couldn't identify all the films. I think it's a brilliant visual concept for a story about legacy hero kids struggling with their powers, and for a title that spun out of the equally clever Runaways.

(And the only thing wrong with that is they would sell that many more books if it wasn't just the covers.) Why do Lightspeed and Turbo keep ending up in romantic triangles in these reworkings?
