He is dead. Hopeless just said that to lessen the backlash.

Wat?

Huh?

The characterizations are completely wrong and have been messed since issue 1 starting with Hazmat's first line. And he has blatantly ignored powers in general. Also the book is EXTREMELY predictable and the plot driven by PIS.

Every death has been a bad horror movie cliche. I don't mind people panicking but PIS is not that. I am sorry but kinda obvious that you haven't read the past runs of the characters.

And yes I have predicted the entire book since issue #3. No not joking. Let me tell you how it is going to end.

Hazmat goes boom killing Chase and Reptil. She loses a large portion of her powers, island shut down(despite she could fire off an EMP at will). This gives Deathlockette enough time with her human body to kill Apex.

There end of book.

I am sorry but this review reeks of BS.

Read the article that I posted. They mention X-23's name as a contestant.

They said there is a "second season" after the first season.

If it is true.

No I meant season 1 of arena.

And yeah, originally wasn't going to feature any old characters but Hopeless didn't say no to the change and then half wrote the characters.

Was mentioned in an interview.

There it is.

The Hunt takes place after this arc and has X-23 in it.

The premise in 616 isn't easy to sell to begin with and Hopeless doesn't do it justice.

But not because of talent, because of damn right bias and laziness. His OCs are fabulous but he treats past characters as caricatures of themselves or severely nerfs them.

..... Academy still had plenty of stories and Gage had other plans for his cast, if you read the book you would know this.

Also sales for May outside of Digital was barely 20k. So.... already at end Academy sales.

@sharkbite: Thank you. SO much. That is the problem. IF was just new characters I would love it. He just mishandles so many of the old characters.
