Remember that Survive teaser that we thought could possibly be an ongoing Marvel Zombies title? Well, it seems that Marvel is going Battle Royale with some of their characters in Avengers Arena. Is this a bad thing? Hell no. It means they’re finally starting to trim the fat and get rid of the useless characters that no one cares about. Well, and maybe a few that people do care about.
Writer Dennis Hopeless and artist Kev Walker are going to bring 16 young Marvel heroes together to “fight or die”. In this upcoming series we will see the psychotic Arcade take members of Avengers Academy, The Runaways and more, including Darkhawk who you can see among the group pictured below, to Murder Island. Be prepared because people are going to die.
Writer Dennis Hopeless on the title:
“We really got to cherry pick our cast. That was a lot of fun, almost as much fun as creating the brand new characters. I have a feeling the Braddock Academy kids in particular are going to break some hearts. Not sure if we made it clear yet, but people die in this book.”
