So, by sheer coincidence, today I read the "Finding out your parents are supervillains" idea turned into bland yet offensive dreck in "Wanted"(*) and turned into joy and sunshine in "Runaways"(**).

The latter was a little YA and Marvel for my tastes, but I still enjoyed it and will put the next one on reserve. It kind of reminded me of early Buffy, with metaphors about adolescence and it's difficult relationship with authority played large with epic evil and magic powers. I can see why Brain K Vaughan and Joss Whedon are writing for each others projects. You can download the first issue here (you may have to do a search).

(*)Which I have decided is much more amusing if you replace "The Fraternity" with "The Patriarchy" :)
(**)Looks up link. Sees that the planned run is Brian K Vaughan of "Y the Last Man", then Joss Whedon of "Buffy", then Terry Moore of "Strangers in Paradise".
Goes "Oooh".

Brain K Vaughan is cool, I intend to try to get my hands on a copy of his run on "Buffy Season 8" when it's done.
