Avengers Arena #1 *Advance Review*

[Time_to_Zap]

This is all the validation I need.
The book is garbage. I hope it flops and I am ashamed at all of you interested in it.

Calm down, people. It's a sassy blurb. Roll with it.

I don't think "people" need to calm down. There's only really one person overreacting about this.

Besides, Cannon fodder are always the best characters, those are they ones with any depth to them, development and that suffer consequences. The rest with out exception suffer from the circular nature of American comic books.

I don't know about that. Even the characters that are pretty much safe get put through hell on a regular basis.

And while characters where there's no guarantee they'll survive can be compelling to follow... it depends on the story and how it's handled.

For example: The New X-Men Kids who's death by missile launcher was handled so poorly. At least these kids have a fighting chance.

Actually i think they were greatly handled, you grew to know them, they were developed, and they were ended (some) and others further developed out of it. The dead are not coming back (not those), this is exactly what makes them grate, their deaths mattered, unlike Xavier who we all know will be back after a little "sabbatical".

this sounds like the kind of book i want to read

Somewhere a Songbird loses her wings.

Read the book and find out.

It's not out

[West]

This will be meaningful too, it establishes Arcade as a credible threat in the Marvel Universe.

Who cares about Arcade though? So what he killed a bunch of Kid Heroes? He's still a looser

[mikekerrIII]

I still don't buy that they're going to kill these characters.

There will be a twist.

But I won't be reading to find out.

It would make no sense for them to kill off those characters, but that has never stopped Marvel before

Isn't Arcade a killer for hire? I'd like to know who would be interested in killing a bunch of kids.

comicbook fans who hate the AA kids.

It will be in time.

Apparently this one is a personal vendetta.

[Beast]

Apparently this one is a personal vendetta.

Correct. He's tired of failing... so is going after less experienced targets to bolster his reputation.

Poor bastage just can't catch a break. He's already faced the AA kids once before even and failed. So hopefully he's learned.
