pickett22's review against another edition
2.0
Shocking no one, I have all the same complaints as I did with the last one. The one thing about this one is that at least Katy is certifiably insane so her motivations I understand. Why the rest of them are playing, I really don't get. It was not well set up and not well executed.
Also, Laura is a ridiculously difficult character to write. Hopeless is giving it a good try, but not quite making it. Still better than the dude currently writing Wolverines, and WAY better than Bendis, but not quite there.
Super underwhelmed.

All I have to say is that Nico freaking kicks ass! Awesome to see a woman with so much power. Reminds me a little of dark Willow, only less evil.

Suffice it to say, I've got opinions. I did not enjoy this title. Granted, I did not read Avengers Academy, so many of these characters were unfamiliar to me. The death sport aspect was derivative and cheap. Gert's death hit me because it wasn't a common occurrence. She was the character one could easily see themselves in. In this title, threat of death is common. But we also are left with the distinct impression that the kids are in a simulation of some sort. Those that die in the game are likely being removed from the Marvel continuity, but...
Truth is anyone who is born one day dies. Part of the appeal of superhero comics, along with religious mythologies, transhumanism and just plain wishful thinking, is the fantasy that death isn't the end. That the story just keeps going. We are supposed to get the impression that this title is going to address this, but it hasn't, and I'm afraid it won't.

Volume two, and I'm still digging on this book. It feels like I shouldn't be enjoying myself... But hells bells I can't help but have fun reading it!

This was even better than the first volume. We get a cool strategic "villain" type, which in turn causes other characters to bring out their big guns, upping the stakes and really getting the deathmatch going. Katy's and Nico's arcs are amazing in this volume. Not gonna spoil anything in this review though, so I'll keep my excitement contained.
Unfortunately, the art had some changeups. Luckily, it still looks great. Some amazing spreads in this one.
This series is just a lot of fun. Refer back to my review of volume 1 for a more in-depth review and an explanation of my score (tl;dr: IT'S FUN!!)
