I could just say “ditto what I said on the previous issue,” but I won’t. I could. I really want to.

I could also bitch about how the visual icon for Avengers Arena is just “AA” in a serifed font in a circle adorned inside and out with non-serifed “A”s. It’s like they phoned in a lazy scream.

Also, the cover image is like a tournament bracket, but with blood. Creepy /s.

But given that everyone seems to die at random and not everyone has killed a person to get past the previous round I don’t--in the words of Will McAvoy--know what the fuck they’re talking about.

Basically, a book trying to call me an asshole for reading something based on its own plot looks real silly trying to say that from a bargain bin.

Feels like the poster for an unsuccessful Murderholics Anonymous meeting... wonder if the cover gets designed before or after the plot gets laid out.

Could've been a good cover, if the issue had been an allegory for Alcoholics Anonymous, or if it sustained a meta-commentary about superhero comics' addiction to violence.
