Marvel AoU - Comics

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Article with trailer.

Ultron is a Marvel villain that, quite honestly, is all but invincible. Essentially, Ultron is Hal except constantly evolving and inside a humanoid body made out of the stuff Wolverine's claws are made out of, adamantium. If I compared him to a DC villain, it'd be Brainiac, only more homicidal and hands on.

The story is going to pick up with most of Marvel's heroes dead. Marvel is going out of their way to point out that this is not a future story line or an alternate reality. This is the current Marvel universe. Meaning folks like Thor, Captain America, Hulk (the original, green one), most of the X-Men, etc. are all dead.

10 issues and they claim the ending is going to stun people. They also claim nobody will see it coming. One writer wrote the ending (Bendis) and one artist (Marvel's CEO...or something...Joe Q.) are the only ones who know how the series ends.

This is interesting because of how will it affect the Marvel universe going forward, especially after they just reset multiple series within the last year. Will they reset the series again and piss people off? It'll also be interesting to see how things works out going forward in terms of their films.

Anyone want to make bets on how long it is before all the dead heroes come back to life?

Can't let them stay dead, you know, got to keep them making money.

Well, that's a massive DUH.

In the article they talk about how some characters are going to venture into the past to keep Ultron from being created. I think they'll succeed because you have to bring all these big names back to life AND because one of the folks going back is Wolverine.

Personally, I think they'll use this to change some things in the Marvel universe and hopefully will turn Hank Pym into Marvel's number one villain. He's currently a good guy and the creator of Ultron.
