The grand finale!
The big prize! Bodies are piled high and only one person can win it all! Arcade's darkest game comes to a close and anything can happen...especially if Natasha Romanoff has something to say about it. Arcade's circus-style contests have been a punchline in the past, but writers Ray Fawkes (One Soul, Constantine) and Jim Zub (AVENGERS, CONAN THE BARBARIAN) and artist Netho Diaz (THUNDERBOLTS, LEGION OF X) are here to put the "murder" back in "Murderworld." Don't miss it!
Murderworld lavished Arcade with the attention hes always deserved. He got to kill people with creative abandon. And the way Zub and Fawkes built the story probably leads to certain expectations for most readers when it comes to Murderworld Game Over. The way this issue unfolds will surprise most people who are following the series. And in the end its safe to say this is a wonderful end to a story Arcade has long deserved. Read Full Review
Murderworld: Game Over #1 is a well-made but deflating conclusion. Read Full Review
Murderworld: Game Over fails to meet the expectations its title sets, which poses a problem for a series built primarily on the shocks associated with a Squid Game homage. Read Full Review
This turned into a solid little thing. I liked it.
The plot takes a darker twist than I expected here. It's a good story, and this final chapter is particularly well illustrated. But the darkness is undercut by two factors: First, the protagonist/PoV character is incredibly flat, spurred on by the most generic motivations. And second, the resolution turns this entire series into a shaggy-dog preamble for a hypothetical Black Widow vs Arcade story. And if the authors *had* that story, they coulda/shoulda told it here.
