COMICS: First Look At Marvel NOW! Series AVENGERS ARENA #1
Avengers Arena will see 16 young superhumans (including characters from Runaways and Avengers Academy) battling it out in Murder World, with the promise that only one will leave alive. Things sure don't look good for Hazmat as she takes on X-23 in this sneak peek of issue #1...
Trapped on an isolated island, 16 superhuman young adults (including cult faves like members of the Runaways, The Avengers Academy and Darkhawk) are given a chilling ultimatum by their demented captor: Fight or die...only one will walk out alive! 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!
