Seriously though, this guy literally just started writing for marvel this year so it may be to early to judge him (too harshly at least) but I was actually looking forward to AA and I wish they had put a more experienced writer with a better track record.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-42985978905791230422012-12-15T04:31:33.454-05:002012-12-15T04:31:33.454-05:00The cover is a complete homage to Battle Royale as...The cover is a complete homage to Battle Royale as well so the comparisons are referenced and intentional.<br /><br />http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/71950550.html?thread=12682963414jermoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260256232935630988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-80554751824282544532012-12-15T01:50:01.465-05:002012-12-15T01:50:01.465-05:00This may be my favorite comment ever...lol, and De...This may be my favorite comment ever...lol, and Dennis Hopeless (haha) is writing this series.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-80469767531347156152012-12-15T01:38:52.796-05:002012-12-15T01:38:52.796-05:00Whose writing this series?

It has to be Chris Yost, someone at Marvel HQ finally must have just said: look we can't have you running around killing 50 people per issue all willy-nilly in our big titles, so we're giving you a bunch of characters that are basically in limbo and you can go to town with them.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-59926446621224658382012-12-14T23:53:33.935-05:002012-12-14T23:53:33.935-05:00So...I just read it....I haven't been on the b...So...I just read it....I haven't been on the blog in ages...my apologizes...but I HAD to say this...but did the writers for this watch Hunger Games or something? I mean I haven't read the book nor seen the movie but Avengers Arena just sounds like a super-powered version of this book/movie.<br /><br />Mettle dying...although JT called it out Wednesday still made me a little upset. Like...why him? There are some others who could've went instead. And I'm praying, wishing and hoping at the end of this series...it wasn't all some "fucked" up dream or illusion because Marvel would have played with millions of fans emotions.

As for Arcade seemingly being unstoppable...I hope that it's a robot or a simulation. Last thing we need is another guy getting way overpowered. <br /><br />Also, I agree that Arcade shouldn't have been able to take them. I imagine that the security over there should be incredibly hard to breach. I could understand if Dr Doom or Ultron could bypass it, but Arcade? Yeah, I'm not seeing it. Hopefully issue 2 will get betterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-68458508062012194992012-12-14T12:15:48.312-05:002012-12-14T12:15:48.312-05:00I just don't see this comic being considered g...I just don't see this comic being considered good at the end of its run. Either the writer sticks to his premise and they end up killing most of the teenage superheroes (with X23 the only one they will be unwilling to kill) or there will be a twist like it is a VR setup and the entire comic ends in a cop-out. At least with the latter some of my favorite characters won't die for a Battle Royale gimmick.jermoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260256232935630988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-45374913674029432082012-12-13T20:18:55.565-05:002012-12-13T20:18:55.565-05:00My only....and I mean only thing to say about this...My only....and I mean only thing to say about this issue is it HAS to be a simulation. The end of this series has to be one, because there's no way... they are gonna kill off this many characters. That means, for the sake of the argument, unless they ONE wins, Hazmat, Reptil, Nico, X-23, they're all dying. And I find that a big hard to believe. as for Mettle, I saw it coming so i was prepared, he HAD to die, because he's damn near invulnerable... so I knew he's die, for that reason. But first? And the way, like you said, NO ONE ELSE stood up for Hazmat?! Not Reptil, the so called leader of the Avengers Academy...not X-23...no one but Mettle? That still makes no sense to me. And Mettle was written horribly here... he said "Girl" more times than a Boyz II Men CD in this issue... <br /><br />Negatives aside... and killing Mettle was a HUGE one... Arcade did come off pretty bad ass here, which was cool, if this is a revamp for him it could go in a nice direction, and I liked the "Health" bars, that was a nice touch.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.com
