Thus begins a primal battle that will test the skills, stamina and morals of each combatant. Welcome to Murder World, where the secrets are plenty, alliances are fleeting, and the key to victory might be rewriting the rules of the game. Who will survive? The rising star team of Dennis Hopeless (X-MEN: SEASON ONE) and Kev Walker (THUNDERBOLTS) dare you to tune in to your new favorite comic NOW!

^BTW, Murderworld has been around for a loooong time in Marvel. If anything, Hungergames was a ripoff of Battle Royale which is a ripoff of Murderworld... or whatever.

I hate it when X-23 is called a female Wolverine. All good writers know that power-set defines a character, emirite guys?

It's about time Arcade showed up again. It feels old school up in here. Gonna go find me some old Xmen and Arcade comics and get down. Ahhh Nostalgia.

They're definitely cashing in on the Hunger Games... but it looks pretty cool! Great art, might have to check it out.

FANTASTIC Art! Hunger Games cash grab or no, I'm excited to see a Marvel Battle Royale if the art keeps looking this great

This looks good, even though I dont think its gonna be the killing spree they advertised it to be. I really dont see how anybody but X23 and Darkhawk end up the last ones standing. Darkhawk should mopp the floor with anyone here though, including arcade. This whole deal is beneath him, if he is at the same level he was the last time we saw him.

It should be X23 vs Finesse. She already basically told her she was going to kill her. I like hazmat, and can do without taskmaster Jr.

I still dont see how arcade pulls this off considering theAA already beat him before.

So Hunger Games for superheroes... normally I'm not so snarky but Marvel is getting pretty blatant with the things they're ripping off at this point.
DudeLove721
DudeLove721 - 10/18/2012, 6:05 PM
And I realize Murderworld existed long before Hunger Games. I think we can all agree that the whole putting "young adults" in a fight to the death thing is a blatant Hunger Games rip-off at least though, right?

Looks epic but hope it isn't gay like hunger games

@Dudelove
Yeah they have been pretty blatant. I remember during the whole vampires vs xmen cross overs, Deadpool actually called them out saying they where riding twilights coat tails.

so marvel is doing a 'hunger games' story..... laaaame

Looks good, who doesn't want to see x-23 melted?

it amases me that people only have a reference point of a year sometimes.
Murderworld was probably late 70's, Battle Royal came out in 2000 and Hunger Games (which was utter crap) was this year.....so marvel aren't ripping any teeny crap off they're just reinventing an old part of it's history.

I really hope DarkHawk wins this whole thing
