yo, I’m not even spoiler tagging this post.

If you plan on buying Avengers Arena #1 this week: What is wrong with you?

Please don’t support a book where relatively new characters who have a potential are needlessly killed off in a poor Hunger Games/Battle Royale homage.

Please don’t support killing off characters Just For The Hell Of It.

I GUESS HE REALLY IS HOPELESS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHBSAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

You know, if you don't like teenage heroes, you could avoid them. They aren't in Punisher and crap. But I guess Marvel has to bow to the commands to people like you who only care about a story if death is involved.

I didn't read the leaks, but if someone can kill a super strong "invulnerable" character with a flick of the wrist, I couldn't imagine Nico enangering herself or anyone else on the chance that one of her spells MIGHT work. I don't get what that one kid was reading.... Nico is not "powerful as fuck", she has potential to be, but the nature of her powers is left up to chance most of the time. Doesn't make sense.

I believe I've found our winner:

If this person is a grown adult, I am very afraid.

Mein Kampf isn't fiction though, it's an autobiography/political polemic.

You should make this a genuine feature of the forum. Would be fantastic.

It has to be tumblr reactions to everything though.

Do it Punchy! :lol:

Tumblr outrage!

I guess this makes it official: Dennis Hopeless is worse than Hitler.

You know, you'd think that they would have kept him alive.
I mean, what’s a relationship under pressure in such an environment.
But Hopeless was so up his own ass that nobody thought that would be interesting. Oh no, we need blood all over her face instead.
God, this is going to take a while.

It reads like a rape fan fiction with the "Magical deity Mary Sue who has his way with everyone". Seriously, it's a putrid book.

Jesus is this what DC fans felt like after Flashpoint??

I just finished reading the first issue of Avengers Arena and I want to BARF

I picture Punchy just cackling with glee at his computer as he posts these :-D

I thought Avengers Arena #1 was the absolute worst comic of the year, and that comment was stupid. Just plain stupid.

The ultimate example of Godwin's Law! That guy should win a prize or something.

What?

I read both Hunger Games and Battle Royale. Did you expect me to like an obvious cash in without any of the social commentary that lifted those works beyond the mean-spirited kill fests they were at their core?

Sorry, but I thought this sucked... ASS!
