This series is so good!!! I picked it up based on my love of Hopeless' Cable and X-Force series and a few panels of All-New X-Men where X-23 joins the gang having spent the last year being lied to and gaslighted. That story hook (Laura was in Avengers Arena before joining All-New X-Men) and faith in Hopeless as a writer brought me in, but damn did this story exceed my already high expectations. I read volumes 1 and 2 in one sitting and ordered volume 3 from my local shop. Can't wait to see how this story ends. ( ) This was tough to read. A number of teen characters from various versions of the Avengers and the Runaways and some I've never heard of before are sucked into a Hunger Games like world created by Arcade. So when I first read about the series I felt that snotty disbelief "really, you're going to rip off hunger games in an effort to capitalize on the popularity of dystopias right now?" As you can see that feeling didn't stop me from checking out the book. I was very glad to see that they acknowledged that the idea was borrowed from a book. I think that if they had tried to play it off like it was totally original I would have immediately blown it off. I feel like the acknowledgement ameliorated my feelings somewhat. All of that being said this was a tough read for me; just like the Hunger Games was. The cruelty of people using each other, blaming each other, and killing each other because someone is pitting them against each other just doesn't appeal to me. The only parts I enjoyed were those where we learned about some of the history of those characters I wasn't too familiar with. Unfortunately I don't think that's enough to keep me reading in this case. This was tough to read.

Trapped on an isolated island, 16 superhuman teens (including cult favorites 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 secrets are plenty, alliances are fleeting, and the key to victory might be rewriting the rules of the game. Who will survive?
