This week's Thor's Comic Column has my review of Avenger Arena, the final issue. Now with this review, which is about how much I love this series as a whole, I don't do any spoilers....
...but I'm gonna now, so step away if you don't wanna know anything.
Okay, so *phew* Cammi survived. If there was a favourite character for me in the book, she was most certainly it. Hopeless reminded me why I liked her back in the early Marvel Cosmic/Annihilation days.
Coming out of it alive...Chase and Nico (so both Runaways), Anachronism ( the only Braddock academy surivor perhaps...or maybe Bloodstone pulls through?), Hazmat, Reptil (looks like anyway) and X-23, Death Locket and Cammi...
Chris Powell, Darkhawk, is not on the dead checklist in the title page but he seemed to be killed (again) by Arcade so I'm not sure. And we assume Apex is dead, right...but I bet we see him/her again real soon.
I'm trying to figure out who these four kids are in Avengers Undercover with Zemo... there's Anachronism, Death Locket, and it looks like Bloodstone and Hazmat. If that is Hazmat I bet we'll see Reptil again. I have to wonder where Nico, Chase, Cammi and X-23 are going to be next (though I imagine X-23 will show up in an X Book somewhere soon).
(Update)I didn't realize that Marvel already spoiled the outcome of AA a bit when they announced Undercover at NYCC in October. Apparently Cammi is part of the team, so, yay! But boo on such big spoilers. Glad I didn't see that until now.
