Oh god, I must look away!

"When you get to that last page of issue 2, you're going to want to pound Dennis Hopeless in the best way," Singh said, before quickly adding, "that maybe came out wrong."

Dead Hazmat...

God Damn you Hopeless.

Dead Hazmat...

God Damn you Hopeless.

You keep saying dead Hazmat, but I still have to see Mettle on covers or previous art past the first issue.

Read the solicit for issue 2.
Deathlockette vs. Hazmat, death that issue, and seeing how we are seeing this from her point of view, god, I fucking hate this book.

Oh, I don't say she won't get killed. But the fact that Mettle is not with her and doesn't appear in other sollicitations tells me that he may be the first to die. He's the black dude, after all.

I just hate this.

I HATE IT!!!!

This is one of the worst things to ever announce to people!!!

You know Songbird that I feel the same about Eric O'Grady's Ant Man/Black Ant. I'm worried after Remender's Secret Avengers that the guy's gonna be either killed off (again, I guess) or else slink into the shadows so Lang takes the spot light (which is fine because I do like him but O'Grady's my favourite).

[Songbird/Diamondback]

i hope Young Avengers bombs.

Dennis Hopeless was up next, talking "Avengers Arena." "Some of your favorite teenage heroes, 16 of them, wake up on an island and are told only one of you gets to leave alive," he said. "And they're told that by Arcade, of all people." The first two issues will show that Arcade "means business."

"When you get to that last page of issue 2, you're going to want to pound Dennis Hopeless in the best way," Singh said, before quickly adding, "that maybe came out wrong."

So 16 of our favourite teenage heroes wake up in Marvel's remake of Saw :S

Young Avengers is apparently about being a young superhero, Avengers Arena is apparently how pull them apart, litterally.

[Songbird/Diamondback]

i hope Young Avengers bombs.

That's what I thought before Gillen.

Just, God, this is literal torture!

Arena tells you that you shouldn't get too atached to Young Avengers characters, because they could very well be killed as soon as the series is cancelled.

good thing i didn't get too attached to any of them, then. But that reminds me- was it striker or reptil who was taken over by his future self? Did they ever resolve that plotline?
