Luckily, he didn't make the cover.

Age of Ultron looks to be another "failure" on the behalf of Panther. Ultron is already in power and the Illuminati are supposed to stop threats before they become a problem. It'll possibly be a OOC story so I guess I shouldn't expect much.

Also I fear that in recent times Marvel has made Panther Thorlike. What I mean by that is: For Marvel to show how big and bad a threat or situation is, they have to severely undermine a "powerful" character to get the point across. Because Panther is seen as the guy that has a plan 2 or 3 steps beyond the competition, him not being prepared for threats makes it seem like a major deal. Kinda like Thor is the go-to whipping boy measuring stick. (As we see that Red Skull already has taken Thor in future issues of Uncanny Avengers, the same will most likely happen to take a villain seriously in the T'challa led book, New Avengers) I miss the days where the villain could come off as a threat without really making some of Marvel's top characters incompetent.

This is pretty much of Terminator: Rise Of The Robots type deal.

The heroes have already lost utterly and somebody is going to have to go back in time to negate this.

So whatever carnage you see at the start will have been negated by the end of it.

Might be cool anyway.

I think Bendis told this story already. It was Kang.

Yeah, but why is it always either Cap, Hawkeye, Wolverine, or Spidey?

I mean, I guess Moon Knight is a change of pace, but you see the similarity right? I mean, could it be like Wasp or somebody different for once? For Days of Future's Past, it was Kitty Pryde.

To be fair age of Ultron was written ages ago. I mean seriously the preview came out like a year and half ago at minimum. This I would say is hardly a case of Black Panther getting screwed over.

But yes Thor does job incessantly.

[Dkrook]

Wow!

I see O'snooks travelled back in time with Dr Nemisis to lay hands on T'Challa.

This was like the dave chappelle episode of playahaters going back in time!

[marvell2100]

Watch out Bishop!!!!

Yes thats true, but didn't Bendis say the story reflects whats happening in Marvel Now! As in the teams and affiliations with Marvel now! will be reflected in this Ultron story.

I'm fairly certain most of the characters in the Ultron book are fairly interchangeable, and it's likely that Bendis knew that his roster and run on Avengers would be coming to an end. I don't expect to see Sunspot or Eden Fesi showing up in the book.

And Bendis is likely one of the main overseers in Marvel NOW!, so I'm sure he had some idea of what the universe was going to look like when he wrote it.

I suppose they could be interchangeable, but Ultron "winning" certainly doesn't make things look good for the Illuminati. Guess I'll reserve judgement until read.

[JaggedFel]

Is this suppose to be the big summer event? Or are we getting something else for that. Clearly he did not change everything I mean moon knight is still relevant.

[SilverZeal]

This should work

WOW...Bendis kills off BP dat easily in 'his' event...PASS!

[JaggedFel]

Well he is probably going to kill everyone before someone charges back through time still I was never really interested in the first place.

From what I understand, it's still the big event of the summer, but more self contained, like Age of Apocalypse. Which is why I'm not really worried about it. Besides, the more I hear about Age of Ultron, the more it sounds like it got pushed back because of AvX and Bryan Hitch and that it doesn't have much to do with the Marvel NOW! movement at all. Everything that seems to connect it to the current/upcoming crop of books seems like it's being tacked on.
