Hopeless Begins the Games In "Avengers Arena"

[vampiric_cannibal]

Personally, it would be more interesting if Hopeless finds a way to split and mix all the different factions. I'm betting it happens after issue 7.

The issue 6 cover suggests a fairly mixed team. I approve. Hopeless mentions the kids stay with familiar groups (or being familiarly alone) for now, but they will end up all over the place. And dead.

When they do eventually escape, I'm hoping the title gets a new name, but not a creative team or new #1. I hear comics once changed directions without new #1s, long, long ago.

A fantastic idea that almost certainly won't happen. Lulling people into thinking a #1 is important or collectable (where collectability comes from value and rarity, which means that sales ploys act against it) is Marvel's game atm. There was really no need for Adjectiveless X-Men, Avengers, Uncanny X-Force or any of the solos to be relaunched. If the books still selling, it might include a few extra issues of post-Arena stuff before relaunching with a focus on certain survivors and mixing things up.
