Arcade Hosts A Killer Game in The Upcoming Murderworld Saga!

Jim Zub and Ray Fawkes’ MURDERWORLD kicks off November 16 in MURDERWORLD: AVENGERS #1!

November 11, 2022

Along with a team of all-star artists, Jim Zub and Ray Fawkes are putting the “murder” back in Murderworld come November 16^th! They’ve written a thrilling series that starts with Murderworld: Avengers #1 and concludes, in March, with Murderworld: Game Over #1. Over the course of five one-shots, readers will behold the most sinister Arcade yet as he subjects a new cast of characters to his horrifying Murderworld.

“When I first saw Murderworld in an issue of Uncanny X-Men, I was fascinated by its colorful corniness mixed with deception and violence,” Zub explained. “Many years ago, Ray and I chatted about a twisted thriller-survival story set in Arcade’s deadly playground and now, starting with MURDERWORLD: AVENGERS, we’re finally getting the chance to unleash it!”

Two hundred contestants vie for a one hundred million dollar prize but to get it they’ve got to survive a series of ruthless trials in Arcade’s new and improved Murderworld. Sure, Arcade may have been a bad joke in the past but this time he’s for serious and the bodies will hit the floor with each twist and turn throughout his new game. Is the diabolical game master’s challenge unbeatable? Paul Pastor, an exceptional documentarian, is poised to throw a wrench in the gears but he can’t do it on his own. As it happens, the Black Widow is no fan of Arcade’s and is happy to help our intrepid reporter, but how high will the body count rise before she can stop this insanely bloody plot??

“Murderworld is one of those stealthy, ultra-compelling concepts that always made the Marvel Universe so fascinating to me – the gaudy, family-fun veneer slapped over a deadly threat. When Jim and I were discussing it, ideas to make it more and more frightening and exciting just kept coming to us. I’m thrilled to bring them to readers in all their horrible glory!” Fawkes added.

Step right up to the deadliest game in the Marvel Universe when MURDERWORLD: AVENGERS #1 hits stands on November 16!
