    I was underwhelmed. If I had to pinpoint why, it was that I was expecting more risks with the art. Usually when an artist takes the helm of a whole book you see them break loose a little. Francis Manapul's Flash is a good recent example.

    I’m not a huge fan of Wolverine, thinking that he’s way too much over-exposed, but decided to give it a try, as I do with most of the new Marvel Now! titles. I was somewhat surprised that I actually liked it, and that I even might continue buying this title. It kind of got me thinking of the Lost series, but that’s OK. It was a nice story, making me want to read more, and I also loved the art!
    I was kind of surprised that it (according to Comixology), had a 12+ age limit. Is a comic where we see heads being chopped off, suitable for a kid at 12?
    If my words and grammar are not correct, that's because English is not my native language! My English would have been far worse if I hadn't read original comics for decades though!

    Totally had Lost vibes especially with that raft!

    I think it might be. Looks like the colourist (assuming it was them) covered it up.
    Avengers Arena is one of the best books in the shops right now, it's seriously amazing.

    I'm only reading this because I thought I read that Amadeus Cho was gonna be in it. Or was everybody only referring to the writer/artist?

    I think I remember reading he'll be in it, he'll probably show up soon. This was only the first issue!

    I know it's only the first issue, I'm just saying Cho's my only reason I decided to try this title instead of just getting regular Wolverine and wasn't sure if I misread the news about the book :)

And I actually enjoyed Wolverine in it (which normally only happens in older Claremont UXM issues for me).

    Might pick this up in trade - it'd be nice to try and forget the government lackey/traitor they've turned Wolverine into and read about the character as he used to be.

    This should be on Avengers forum.

    Sure about that?

    Frank Cho has a fascination with female anatomy.

    He doesn't hesitate in depicting it as graphically as possible.

    From an interview about the book

    Amadeus is our third main character. He's a fun character to use because I needed someone really smart to tackle the mystery of the island. I couldn't use any of the other famous Marvel geniuses like Reed Richards or Tony Stark, and Amadeus is the seventh smartest person in the Marvel Universe, technically. He's also a clean slate in a lot of ways, and he's a smart ass," Cho stated. "He's kind of like the movie Tony Stark in this story, a Robert Downey Jr. character. He's even got his own armor, a special three-piece Vindicator-style suit, which has an artificial intelligence. The A.I.'s name is Calvin, as in Calvin Klein. There's a fun dynamic between him and Calvin where they're going back and forth, just arguing about things as Amadeus explores this island.
