Avengers Arena #12 The big reveal

2 pages...



Ok so Nico is back and some kinda crazy powerful blood-mage, Chase is un-Darkhawked, Juston's poor Sentinel has been scrapped again, Ryker lost her arm cannon, and both Apex and DeathLockette have been swept underground by Nico.

But that's not what everyone's talking about...

Looks like Arcade's got some sort of crazy Frankenstein crap going on.

Not being too terribly inclined to pick up this title from all that has been shown so far, I have two reactions to this particular snippet...

One: This seems like an ill-conceived pseudo-Westworld where Arcade is just testing new robots of the assorted victims, he does after all have robots of the X-men and various others.

Two: This REALLY seems like the writers trying to cover their own asses over killing these characters.

It's either the westworld rout, or the hunger games rout where the dead will be used to make the next challenge.

And it may seem that way, but I remain fully skeptical that they'll backtrack over the deaths. The writer seems to be of a mindset that the deaths need to be 'real' to have impact.

Frankly, they haven't had impact beyond shallow shock value, and what remorse and lamentation we have had has been laughably short or simply laughable.
