AGE OF ULTRON

THE AGE OF ULTRON BY MARVEL COMICS
           THIS STORY TAKES PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL CONTINUITY OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. THE BASIS OF THE STORYLINE IS THAT THE ROBOT THAT HANK PYM (ANT-MAN) INVENTED BECOMES SELF AWARE AND BEGINS HIS HELL BENT GOAL TO WIPE THE WORLD OF THE HUMAN BEINGS, WHETHER SUPER OR NORM.
           THE STORY BEGINS AFTER NEW YORK AND CHICAGO ARE WIPED OUT ALONG WITH WASHINGTON DC. THOUSANDS OF ULTRON- LIKE ROBOTS SCOUR THE STREETS KILLING ALL LIVING BEINGS. CLINT BARTON (HAWKEYE) IS THE FIRST HERO TO BE SEEN AND RESCUES A BEATEN AND DRUGGED PETER PARKER (SPIDER MAN) ONLY TO BE LEAD TO A BUNKER UNDER CENTRAL PARK WHERE A SMALL BAND OF HEROES WAITS FOR THE END.  I WONT GO INTO TO MUCH DETAIL ABOUT THE REST CAUSE THERE ARE SOME NICE TWISTS ALONG THE WAY ALONG WITH SOME GREAT ART. THE MASTERMIND WRITER IS NONE OTHER THAN BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS. I HAVE ONLY READ UP TO BOOK 7 OF THE 10 ISSUE STORY ARC, BUT I'M HOOKED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A ART FAN OF THE BOOKS BUT MORE AND MORE I'M GETTING INTO THE STORY LINES AND WHERE THEY ARE TAKING THE HEROES. SEEING THIS STORY IS OUTSIDE THE NORMAL UNIVERSE ITS NICE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCES IN THE CHARACTERS, WHO IS STILL THE LEADER, WHO IS STILL THE POWER HOUSE, AND SO ON. THERE ARE SOME CHARACTERS I WAS SURPRISED WERE IN THE BOOK. NAMELY MOON KNIGHT, SHE HULK, AND LUKE CAGE. I PERSONALLY DON'T SEE THEM AS BIG NAMES BUT ITS REFRESHING TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
          WITH ALL THE TWISTS AND AWESOME ARTWORK I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 3 ISSUES, AND SUGGEST GETTING THEM.
