BONUS REVIEW by John Robinson
Arcade runs the HUNGER GAMES on 16 b-list Avengers Academy characters. This is an ongoing MONTHLY series. Not a mini-series. I simply assumed it was a mini, go figure. They're hoping to hit issue #148 some day with this idea of 'heroes' killing each other. Marvel redefines what it means to be a hero, and that's evidently letting other heroes die in your place while you stand by and do nothing! say what? Trite, predictable pap. I give it 2 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
