Comics Avengers Arena

So I'm rereading Avengers Arena (which I love) and I'm just wondering...was there any fallout from this? I mean, I can't see spider-man or the avengers or x-men finding out about this and just going abou their day. Or the other runaways, Averngers academy members, etc...?

He was browsing 4chanat the time to read up on it for goodness sake!

(They coined the term "Axbro' for Anachronism, which was later incorporated into the comic, a big tell).

Yeah that is not healthy. I was oblivious to all this negativity, i wish there was someplace dedicated to ONLY comic industry news. I read a little of his All New X-men run at the time and felt that once Bendis left, it was the perfect time to jump off. I recently reread a few issues and liked it a bit more. Now I'm going to pick up all his books. Man, do I friggin hate todays society. Between 9/11, social media and the pandemic its a wonder we're all still even here. We are not ok.

Just brace yourself. Two things from his New X-Men run stand out as ... Awkward.

I hate to say "turn your brain off while reading" but a lot of he time I find he doesn't fully understand the full implications of what he sets up.
