Avengers Arena: News and Speculation

[PaxHouse]

Okay, by now everybody has already know/heard the news regarding the Newest MARVEL NOW! Series (with some of the AA "Students" shown) here.

The only thing that I'm curious about is.......what about the rest....?!??

[Songbird/Diamondback]

I am sickened by this new book. Absolutely sickened, and want no part of it.

[mugiwara]

I'm with you here, S/D.

Notice how the only guy who looks like Juston has a red cross on his face.

Really? I mean when was the last time anyone was actually killed by Arcade of all folks? I figure it'll be like the typical survival arc in any story before they go back to school or whatever, maybe killing one or two new characters made just to die.

Pretty much unloading several magazines on their feet.

Read the interview. The premise is "WE'RE GONNA KILL A LOT FO CHARACTERS".

[motteditor]

Wow. So many characters I like (though a few I hate) and so little interest. What's the point of reading and getting invested in the characters if you're just going to kill them off? And Kev Walker art, to boot. Really disappointing.

I really torn about this title. I really love Hazmat and Mettle and thelast issues of AA made me like Juston and X-23 a lot, but I don't want to see them killed, I don't know the writer and the art is just OK. What's your opinion on the writer guys? I haven't read anything from him...

[Wellman]

Wow, so much for a happy ending for Mettle and Hazmat.


Alonso hates teenagers.

[Legion_Quest]

I'm seriously glad that Finesse, Julie and Striker aren't in this new book.

I'd rather limbo over death (though I am holding out hope for Striker to show up and cause trouble for Wiccan/Hulkling in whatever book Wiccan may or may not be getting with Lil'Loki and Ms America Chavez, and where he goes, he'll have to take his hag, so Julie may show up too)

Juston though.....he survives Emma only to get this

Well Gillen has plenty of options left I would say

Choices:
AA: Stryker, Lightspeed, White Tiger, Finesse
YA: Speed, Hulking
Runaways: Molly, Klara, Karolina, Victor
Others: Lyra, Cho, Spider-girl, Power Man, Thundestrike and etc

Not a fan of all those but those are the names that stand out to me

[Legion_Quest]

For sure, plus the potential of bringing in some of Gage's old creations from the Initiative days as well.

True a few of them as well.

[Songbird/Diamondback]

You know what'll happen right? MEttle and Hazmat will have to kill each other to the death. I bet we'll get a point where Hazmat blows up like a nuke, and then you see Arcade laughing his ass off miles away, and that's the end of the book. One giant freaking troll face.

I have no faith in this book.

[turtletrekker]

Wow. Huge fan of Avengers Academy and Runaways both and absolutely no interest in this.

Just... wow.
