Avengers Arena (Comic Book) | comment |
Avengers Arena is a spin-off from The Avengers (and direct follow-up to Avengers Academy) by writer Dennis Hopeless and primary artist Kev Walker as part of Marvel's Marvel NOW! iniative. Avengers Arena stars sixteen of the Marvel Universe's teenage superheroes as they're put onto an isolated island and forced to fight and kill each other for diabolical mastermind Arcade's amusement (yes like a certain infamous film based on a novel). The characters participating are Reptil, Hazmat, Mettle, Juston Seyfret and his Sentinel, X-23, Chase Stein, Nico Minoru, Darkhawk, Cammi, and Red Raven. The characters created for the book include Rebecca Ryker/Deathlocket (a younger Distaff Counterpart of Deathlok), and students of Captain Britain's Braddock Academy: Apex (Alpha Bitch smartypants), Nara (bloodlustful Atlantean), Kid Briton (young alternate-reality Captain Britain), Cullen Bloodstone (Ulysses Bloodstone's son and Elsa Bloodstone's little brother), and Anachronism (nerd stuck in ancient warrior's body).The series is notable for garnering a backlash when it was first announced, due to the fact that these characters from cult hit series could possibly die. Since teen characters/lesser known characters are generally C-List Fodder, Death Is Cheap doesn't apply to them — if they die, they can be Killed Off for Real with no chance of resurrection. Because of this, the series is divisive with many. The series lasted for 18 issues (February, 2013 - January, 2014), and is followed up by Avengers Undercover.Also see Young Avengers for another teen series part of the Marvel NOW! initiative. | |

Then at New York Comic-Con 2013, Marvel also revealed that Cullen, Cammi, Anachronism, Deathlocket, and Hazmat would all survive as well, since they've been announced as part of the cast of Avengers Undercover. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Mainly between Chase and Nico. Nico finds it hard to trust Chase, even after all they've been through. Chase comes in contact with the Darkhawk amulet and keeps it a secret from Nico. Nico doesn't appreciate that at all, especially after he was on the side of killing Apex/Tim and casts him out the group. Them being apart ultimately leads to Chase being controlled by Apex and Apex killing Nico. She got better. | |

C-List Fodder: No character in this book has held a series or team book to 100 issues. Or even 50 aside from Darkhawk (which hit exactly 50) (unless you want to be really generous when counting Runaways across 3 volumes). This is a common fear with fans in terms of characters being killed off without the possibility of returning. | |

Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_34082c59 | comment |
Wolverine Publicity: The title is considered an Avengers book and has Avengers branding, but there's only five characters associated with The Avengers in the title. One of those five characters (X-23) is considered to be more of an X-Men character, not to mention Arcade is a classic X-Men villain. The billion-grossing movie probably had something to do with the name. Not to mention this is X-23's sixth book, putting her closer and closer with her Distaff Counterpart, Wolverine's exposure. | |

Then the trope is flipped on it's head as turns out his powers just come from a suit fashioned by Ms. Coriander, who also arranges the island base. The suit only works on the island, and when confronted at his base he is helpless to fight back. | |

Nara is flirty and attracted to Anachronism, and Anachronism is very interested in her, willing to kill to protect her. Cullen Bloodstone himself also has a crush on Anachronism that he doesn't know about. Then Apex's twin brother Tim and Deathlocket have feelings for each other. Did we mention Tim is trapped in Apex's head? | |

Downer Ending: 10 of the kids survive and they are rescued. But there are six dead and they're Killed Off for Real, and the remaining kids are traumatized. Deathlocket breaks from Apex's control but is forced to kill her, along with her first love Tim. The kids make a pact to not tell anyone what happened to avoid pity, but Arcade uploads it all on the internet anyway and essentially gets away with his scheme, which is even more of a win since he could easily be tracked down if the kids would admit it was him. | |

Wise Beyond Their Years | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_4f773434 | comment |
Wise Beyond Their Years, very intelligent, cynical, badass deeds done in the past, crazy survival skills, good with a gun, wants to keep to their own in the game, because of experience saying others are untrustworthy, but after a while sticks to one boy and girl said boy desperately tries to protect, takes The Smart Guy role thanks to above mentioned experience and skills providing strategic insight for the group... Is this describing Cammi or Shogo Kawada? | |

Anachronism viciously attacks Cullen, the Runaways team up and attack Reptil, and X-23 is still trigger-scented and going after Hazmat. Only Cammi tries to not play Arcade's game and only shoots Anachronism to defend Cullen. | |

Central Theme | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: The issues of identity and The Dark Side of someone's personality manifesting are present. Most characters in the book have identity crises and/or a dual nature: Reptil is a dinosaur shapeshifter, X-23's trying to suppress her Berserker Rage, Juston identifies more with his Sentinel robot than people and ends up bonded to him for life after he's paralyzed, Anachronism is both a Celtic warrior and a gamer geek, Cullen is hiding his crush on Anachronsim and also has a monster inside of him, Apex is two very different twin siblings sharing the same body, Cammi despises being human and "weak," Deathlocket is both a girl and a Deathlok and the Darkhawk armor can transform anyone into an armored warrior. There's also the issue of control that comes up, as revealed in #7 that Arcade isn't using power in Murderworld, but is manipulating the kids to play the game. Others have their own control issues such as X-23's assassin mentality and Apex's desire to control everyone around her. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Mettle is killed brutally in the very first issue, setting up the villain Arcade's powers, Hazmat's character arc, and the entire series' tone. Several comic news outlets already included that spoiler in any coverage of Arena, and it's pretty hard to read anything about the comic without stumbling into that. Also, several other characters are Walking Spoilers due to the nature of the series. | |

Idiot Ball: X-23 grabs it pretty tightly in #10. After the series made a point of reinforcing that she constantly and automatically takes stock of her surroundings and pretty much determines the best plan to kill everyone around her all the time, decides that the best approach for taking on Apex, who has control of a Sentinel, is charge her head-on in hopes of getting to her first. She then passes the ball to Apex herself, who after X-23's attack plan doesn't finish her off, despite knowing about her Healing Factor. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The cover to #1 is a group photo with most of the cast, some of whom have red "X" marks over their heads, seemingly marking them as dead. None off the characters that have an 'X' through their head die that issue. One dies in the following one. The only character who does die in #1 isn't marked on the cover. #2 is a Lord of the Flies homage with Reptil. The issue is focused on Deathlocket and her origin. Reptil doesn't even get any speaking lines. #4 promises a fight between X-23 and Darkhawk. Darkhawk went MIA in the previous issue, and Chase, who becomes the new Darkhawk at the end of #4, doesn't so much as look at X-23 funny. The alternate cover to #4 has Chase and Darkhawk fighting each other. As mentioned above, Darkhawk went MIA previous issue and Chase takes over his powers at the end of this. #11, Reptil and Hazmat are embracing on a beach, but nothing even remotely romantic occurs. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Apex monologues that if Murderworld were a story, the adults would be the villains for not bothering to look for them. The only characters that find it odd that the kids are gone are Hank Pym and Tigra, and they investigate and find that all of the kids had plausible reasons for disappearing, and Arcade even sends texts to their friends and updates online social media to keep up the charade. There's also Darkhawk, the only adult in Murderworld who gets taken out early. Naturally, in the final issue, the media blames the adults who failed them. Darkhawk didn't even have a chance to help when his amulet was stolen and he was presumed dead. It turned out he'd been kept in stasis all that time until Deathlocket found him and woke him up. Chris's first action was to bash Arcade in the head from behind, but because he was still disoriented Arcade got away. He was then shot in the shoulder by Deathlocket under Apex's control and passed out from blood loss. Arguably this counts as a subversion as Chris could have been useful if Arcade and Apex hadn't prevented him from doing so. | |

Of course, the reader knows that Juston was killed early on and the "Juston" that went home is an life model decoy. | |

Stupid Evil | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Arcade himself. Yeah, kidnapping Wolverine's daughter/clone, a bunch of kids affiliated with in an Avengers sponsored school, etc. isn't going to get him beaten to a bloody pulp in the end. This one is so blatant it even gets lampshaded. And of course, he uploads all the footage on YouTube titled "What Happened In Murderworld?" so he blatantly confesses on the internet that it was all his doing since the X-Men and Avengers are very familiar with what Arcade has called his death traps. There's also the fact that his entire scheme to make himself a bigger threat was by making teenagers kill each other. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
Avengers Arena (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Mostly related to the characters coming in from older series: Nico's powers aren't portrayed as they were in Joss Whedon's run. Nico casts the spell "Chill Out", which she already cast in Civil War: Runaways/Young Avengers #2. The Staff of One can only cast the same spell once and tends to have a random or negative effect when a spell is recast. The effect is different, but the results are very much the same. Also, Apex was able to grab the Staff of One, despite in volume three it established no one but her can touch it. During a flashback in #3, Agent Brand shows Cammi a picture that has her with Nova, Drax the Destroyer, and Starlord. The problem is that Peter Quill didn't become Starlord again until after Cammi left. | |

Expy: Wise Beyond Their Years, very intelligent, cynical, badass deeds done in the past, crazy survival skills, good with a gun, wants to keep to their own in the game, because of experience saying others are untrustworthy, but after a while sticks to one boy and girl said boy desperately tries to protect, takes The Smart Guy role thanks to above mentioned experience and skills providing strategic insight for the group... Is this describing Cammi or Shogo Kawada? Apex, who is clearly a superpowered version of Mitsuko Souma. She's also forced to share a body with Tim, a docile sweet guy. Sort of like a completely evil hellgod that a blonde vampire slayer had to death with. Nico Minoru in span of few issues berates a friend for considering passing death as judgment, stands against stronger opponent, allowing rest of the group to escape is defeated and falls down a cliff, but keeps fighting on. She dies crawling through the snow, broken and alone, only to be reborn in more powerful form. You know, like Gandalf. | |

Popularity Power: No comic fan thinks that X-23, the most well-known character is going to die in this book. And they're correct, as she appears in All-New X-Men after the series concludes. Also, Reptil has some immunity, as he appears in the kid-friendly The Superhero Squad Show. Played with the Runaways (who had the longest running series out of the cast), Nico actually died, but was resurrected. | |
