COMICS: First Look At Mark Waid And Andre Araujo's AGE OF ULTRON #10A.I.

Just got done rereading Waid's Kingdom Come. My God, I forget how amazing that arc is. So many iconic moments. Issue #5, the "One Year Later", is my overall favorite comic of all time. I love Bruce's snarky little comments.

Clark and Diana: We have an announcement.

Bruce: You're Pregnant.

Clark and Diana: *shocked* How'd ya' know?

Bruce: Observation. For an ageless Amazon with a perfect physique, you've put on a pound or two... THAT, was my first clue.

Diana: *Pissed* Always the detective... I want a commitment from you. I'd like you to be the Godfather.

Bruce: *Oh shit face*

Haha, man, Waid and Ross kicked major ass on that story.

Lol the Wolverine fan thinks Marvel isn't catering to him enough. Go read Spawn.

I love marvel. This however, THE MOST CONVOLUTED CRAPTASTIC ANTI-CLIMACTIC POORLY EXECUTED SERIES EVER!!! I want my money back. What happened to caps team that wet in the future, what happened to black widow, what's going on with tony's defenders and morgan le fey? WHY DID THEY INCLUDE ANY OF THAT!!!?! For shame marvel, for shame

I'm pissed that this fool decides to build Ultron again because "he thinks he knows how to correct his mistake".

The exact reason why Wolvie went to the past to kill him a couple issues back.

I did like how Ultimate and 616 were both being effected by this.

Wow, Marvel's new big event is a let down? Shocking. Instead of focusing on these convoluted, anti-climactic, continuity destroying and forced character developing (and main character needlessly killing) events Marvel should sit down with their editorial team and focus on their invidivual works, making Marvel the best company in comics AGAIN!

@sicknimon: yeah, it's still broken...

-Hunger will deal with Galactus trying to eat Ultimate Earth.

-Guardians OTG will deal with all the Angela stuff.

-Avengers AI will have Hank trying to finally sort himself out and fulfil his potential. No more sidelines.

-All New XMen will have fallout from Wolverine's part in AoU, as well as the fact that the main characters are all time displaced.

-Fantastic Four will deal with Sue Storm's experiences

-Superior Spiderman will have Spiderman 2099 pop in, no doubt due to a time/space disruption

-Plus there's the upcoming XMen crossover "Battle of the Atom" with a FUTURE XMen coming to the present and messing with stuff.

A lot, lot, LOT of story arcs will be dipped in AoU, no doubt about it.

I for one thought it was just a typical "change the past to save the world" story. The Defenders alt-universe was pretty awesome, and seeing Moon Knight was a treat. And i like how it dovetailed into the Avengers story from a couple of years ago. Hitch FTW :)

I told you all how much Bendis sucks. He so bad you never really get to see who the comic is named after. His 10 year run in the 616 universe has been a joke. This guy is Marvel's Antichrist!

He is worse than a soap opera writer

SpideyQuad: Daredevil End of Days was BMB. It was a great series. He can be awesome, but he can be.... not awesome?.... lol

I think Bendis does and has done a great job in the Ultimate Universe with Spidey. But yeah he just doesn't work for me in the 616 Universe. I mean New Avengers was hit & miss for me, and I got tired of it when he simply kept recycling storylines.

I had 0 interest in reading more Age of Ultron related stuff until I saw that this was written by Mark Waid, the man who wrote my favorite Superman story (Birthright). Might give it a shot now.

like they used to....when exactly?

This week alone, Marvel released:

Hickman's Avengers & New Avengers
Cable & XForce
Captain Marvel
Fantastic Four
Indestructible hulk
Superior Spiderman
Uncanny Avengers

all of those issues were above average to great. And that's just one week.
Well written, well drawn, great storylines (yes, even Superior Spiderman, which has been really fun since it started).

Only disappointments were XFactor (which is usually one of the best comics every month), and Thunderbolts (not really a disappointment, i'm used to it sucking because Daniel Way is a clumsy writer.)

How Way can make a cast like he has in Thunderbolts, and make it a chore to read, is beyond me.

I did see that, it was the one thing that made me very excited. Superior Spiderman is an awesome read. People just need to go with the flow. It's so much fun reading Doc Oc as Spiderman. Peter will be back eventually. Who knows when and how, until then THE DIE IS CAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Waid is one of the best writers in comic books, period. Kingdom Come was amazing. I also liked his Fantasic Four and even his Daredevil stuff, as weird as it was at times, was good.

Even so I cant bother to read anymore of the Ultron crap. I was sooo happy to have a big Marvel story NOT be about hero vs. hero and, guess, what, it pretty much turned into that when Wolverine went after Pym. Bleh.

Love that Rivera cover!

Shadowelfz: I agree about Waid's greatness as a writer. You ever read Waid and Garney's run on Captain America before the whole "heroes reborn" fiasco? Best run on Cap I ever read outside of Brubaker. They came back to the book later on but it wasn't the same.

Avengers A.I. is the only thing that interested me about AoU anymore.

Dialogue in that last issue of AoU was just really awkward. I could not suspend my belief that that dialogue was actually coming out of Ultron's mouth. And when was the last time anyone said "zinger"?
