Oh cool! Moonstone is on the cover!

I'm looking forward to this. Next to Loki, Ultron is my favorite Avengers Villain.

Last time I saw Ultron, he was in Mighty Avengers and his new form resembled Jan. That had to have been his most powerful form. He took down Sentry and Ares without much trouble.

Bendis was joined by SVP of Publishing Tom Brevoort and Sales and Communications Director Arune Singh who explained that "Age of Ultron" will be ten issues, and all of them will ship from March to June with artist Carlos Pacheco joining the team midway through the series for reasons Singh promised was story driven.

Story driven my ass.........seriously. Hitch is great but hes slow as molasses. And now that he isn't at Marvel anymore he has no interest in finishing this book. I don't believe for a second that they would not have had Hitch do the whole thing if he was willing. I usually just chuckle at the Marvel hype machine wondering if even THEY think anyone believes their spin but come on, 2 years only Hitch was attached and suddenly POOF in comes Peterson and Pacheco. Sorry Marvel, Tricks are for kids!!

From those pictures it looks like Hawkeye is gunna be the big hero of this event.

Not what I was expecting...

Carlos Pacheco......... cools cools.... wish it was olivier coipel but whatevers.
hope he goes back more to his ultimate avengers style, that was his best recent work :)


Brandon Peterson............... DAMN IT............ the only way this will work is if he goes back to his ultimate Vision overdetailed style art

I wonder how many books will tie in.

Looks great.
I loved Bendis on Dark Avengers, Moon Knight and the short-lived Spider-Woman, but really hated his work on the last volumes of Avengers and New Avengers.
However, with All New X-Men, he won me over entirely.

I hope not. Anybody but Hawkeye. I can't stand him

I'd rather see Pym, Jan, or Vision taking the spotlight for this one

Hitch also confirmed he was always only doing part of the art for the series. The plan was always to have another artist on the story. Hitch himself said so. I get that you hate Marvel, but come on. Pay attention or shut up.

I wonder how many books will tie in.

Hopefully zero. If Marvel NOW is gonna work it needs to stand on it's own for at least a year. No big crossovers wrecking all the sub-plots and character arcs.
