Dennis Hopeless is following up his harrowing Avengers Arena with Avengers Undercover, a look at a handful of survivor’s of Arcade’s Hunger Games phase dealing with their psychological trauma by deciding to go undercover within Baron Zemo’s Masters of Evil. Bloodstone, Hazmat, Deathlocket, Cammi, Anachronism, Chase, and Nico want to take them down from within, but they aren’t the Masters of Evil for nothing.
“There aren’t any rules this time,” says Hopeless. “The game is over and the kids who have survived have to go back to real life. Avengers Undercover is the story of what that feels like. We explore the PTSD of the thing. What sorts of life decisions do these kids make once they realize that they don’t really fit into their old lives anymore? Can they get any of it back? If so, how? And if not, what’s next?”
