This has nothing to do with the recent movie other than the fact that it involves the Avengers and their long-time nemesis Ultron. With their film business booming, a cynical person might think that Marvel tried to sucker some people into buying the comics by using the same title for both and releasing this first. Since I am a cynical person, that’s the theory that I’ll buy into.However, as far as these big tie-in event comics go, it’s not the worst one I’ve read. There’s some interesting stuff
Is it just me or is the depressing nature of the story's beginning a little much? There's no wonder or awe (like in Blade Runner), no heroism of the few remaining rebels (like in Terminator). Maybe it's the art - Hitch usually inspires awe in me (Ultimates), but here it's just yawn-worthy close-ups (damn does Hitch over-rely on that scene layout crutch) and "heart-heavy" scenes of the usual destruction of sacred tourist-worthy scenery. The whole opening chapters lack some sort of excitement - pe...
While the series started off promisingly, it quickly turned into schlocky nonsense once time travel became the motivating factor in the story. Some great art from Bryan Hitch and Carlos Pacheco can't improve the convoluted, confusing, and downright pointless experience of this entire Event. I wrote a lengthy article about the problems this mini-series has had, which you can read here. It is a detailed article though so expect nothing but spoilers throughout.
Maybe it was because I already heard this story was awful, and on top of that I got the hardcover for super cheap, but I honestly didn’t hate this at all. I mean the main event story isn’t great by any stretch, but knowing time travel hijinks were involved definitely helped temper my expectations out. It was also way better than the movie of a similar name. Here we actually see an Age of Ultron that’s more than a day, and not just located to one country. Ultron also doesn’t have a stupid ass pla...
I want to give this about 3.5....it's better than the companion (2nd half of this book) which I gave 3 stars.As discussed with others on here, I didn't care for the fact that there's no lead in, we just wake up in the aftermath...I would have loved to see some of the big guns go down in a blaze of glory a la Butch & Sundance, but no such luck. I would have been more emotionally invested, and that's important for my enjoyment and ranking of a book.Ultron gets unleashed by some baddies, accidental...
wtf i really enjoyed this event ... sure the storyline was like terminator: superhero edition then some endgame back to the future shii , yet it was really profound from start to 99% finish the ending was funny , this guy makes an AI that destroyed and nearly destroyed the world {depending on what timeline you standing on} and then decides to turn into Dr Doom .i get the frustration ,but it just what authors do keep the ball rolling .it was heading towards a 5 star till the epilogue showed. i li...
Ultron returns in a story that echoes Days of Future Past and Age of Apocalypse, and even manages to improve on those former stories. Ultron attacks from the future, gaining a foothold and taking over the world. The heroes left standing mess with time travel to try to stop Ultron from ever being created. Things do not go as planned.The low average rating for this one kind of stumps me. On one hand, it's a story that seems incredibly familiar by showing alternate realities and the deaths of alter...
I’m not sure what happy juice I was drinking the first time I read this, but I sure wish I’d had some of it today.This was painfully okay. It’s hard to explain. A lot of comics fall into 2 camps for me:1) great plot, meh characterization/no character moments 2) great/okay plot and amazingly well done characterization and character moments. I much prefer door #2. I can put up with a bland or okay plot if there’s a lot of character moments to latch onto. Unfortunately, this book really didn’t have...
Age of Ultron is a bleak look at what the Marvel Universe could end up like if technology goes too far. I picked it up on a whim since the movie was about to come out (and is now). I read it in one sitting and I have to tell you that it was long and I wanted to give up many times.It’s just more bleak than I’m used to with Marvel. Granted I’m a Marvel noob but usually I don’t feel this much despair for the world gone wrong when I’m reading. Captain America has given up, Black Widow is scarred, an...
Well, that was dreadful.When a highly intelligent evolved version of Ultron annihilate billions of humans, our last line of defense befalls on surviving superheroes (obviously).The story was going strong in the initial pages. The characterization was good, the stakes were high and the enemy meant business... and at that point they decide to add all the time traveling crap to the story. Then all at once, Ultron became a footnote to the story and the writers start building their next marvel event....
Age of Ultron is the worst comics collected edition I have ever read (The second worst by the way is DC's Superman Vol. 1, New 52). With all the hype and anticipation, AoU fails in so many ways - the story, dialogue, disappointing end. Avengers 2 should not in any way based on this crappy comic book.
Boring. Surprisingly.
