Avengers Arena: Setting Up a New Team?

[gregyo]

Deathlocket is dead.
-Comic con panel said the ending of issue 2 will get you mad.
-Cammi isn't dying, X-23 isn't dying, and Hazmat lives til the 29th day.
-She's made to cute and adorable.

She's dead. Don't even bother crying for her.

I don't know who the girl pointing the gun at Deathlocket is, but I kind of got the impression that the sweet-girl routine was a ruse, and that she is probably going to be a psycho.

Is that a popular opinion?

What makes anybody think Chris is coming out of that armor?

And if he does, Marvel better not open any mail for the duration (i kid,..... but seriously)

And who is this Chase?

He's the older guy, and, barring the hogworts kids, looks like he might be the most powerful person in the arena (Nico is technically more powerful, if she can use the right spell, but also squishier). Its hard to imagine that Arcade could pose any threat to darkhawk.

In short, he's an ideal choice for the "$#!t just got real" death.

Pretty sure that Cammi is pointing the gun at Deathlocket.

The girl with the gun is Cammi.
The fact taht the comic con panel stressed that "You are going to want to pound Hopeless at the end of issue 2 highly suggest she's a sweet girl who will be killed.

1) Do you think a team could emerge from this event? Could they support an ongoing?

2) If you had to pick a few of these characters to be on a team, who would you pick?

1) I really hope so, maybe form Arena Royales

2) X-23 and Reptil hands down, and add Noriko just for sake of keeping true to the source ;) But really as long as Laura makes it out alive I'll be happy

No. Your speculation is almost certainly wrong. There are more ways to provoke readers than to kill characters. Especially in a book largely about death, death isn't enough. Corruption, moral degredation, treachery and things like that are things that will provoke readers, because it reveals the fallibility of a 'hero'.

Welcome back. You were greatly missed in the many Arena threads. No one was satisfied with the feeble rants on show.

I still think Arcade will be playing with kids' minds. Hazmat might die but not in those page given to us.

It was hinted that 10 of 17 will die,9 existing characters and rest are basically fodder to be killed except maybe one or two.So by my guess if they use seven then

-X-23
-Nico
-Mettle
-Reptil
-Chase/Juston/New person as the New Darkhawk muahaha
-New person
-New Person

I think a X-23,Nico lead team book would do well enough.Young Avengers looks bright and happy this could be the emo edgy teen book if that happens

My bets:

- X-23
- Nico
- Mettle
- Reptil
- Cammi
- New Person
- Hazmat / New Person (I'm almost sure that if Hazmat is diying , her death is one of the last 2-3 deaths in the book)
