Morning Glories

A few months ago Morning Glories premiered completely under my radar.  It came in and sold out, second issue came in and sold out. Then a dude who i think looks like a film guy, works at the Exchange, bearded, adorable, mentioned the book to me and i checked it out.  I bought second printing of those first two issues and was blown away.
One thing i should mention about myself is i have a weakness for teens, especially in comic book narrative.  I grew up reading Generation X and when i left comics for a few years it was the Runaways that reignited my love for serialized-illustrated storytelling.
ANYWAY.
This book is a little bit Battle Royal, school uniforms and it seems all the adults in the book are trying to kill them.  Kinda.  The adults keep telling them they're training them for what's to come.
A little bit Runaways, with a fun diverse group of kids that don't necessarily like each other but are bound by circumstance.
And the last comparison is LOST (I'm pretty sure in another year or so we'll have as many characters-main and secondary- as that photo), like the show the book is good at not really revealing what exactly is going on.
These kids show up at this prestigious school, but the academy seems to have ulterior motives for their students, they seems to be in search of someone specific, and in order to do that they've justified torture, kidnapping and murder. 
Oh, and theirs also this weird ghost thing that can phase through you and melt your brain and make your eye balls pop out.  Rad.
The last issue (7) centered around Zoe, the least likable character of the group and now the most fleshed out and turned what you thought you knew about her, slutty cheerleader, into something even more.  She may have more of understanding of what's going on then everyone else in the book. Gold.  Solid bloody gold.
I'm as excited for the next issue of Morning Glories as i was for the new episode of LOST. New nerd-session.
