Ultron has returned and so has Comic Book Classics Revisited! Today, the Ultron Handbook will continue our last story arc as we feature The Avengers (1998) #20. In part one, Ultron got busy kidnapping some key people (including the Grim Reaper and Hank Pym) and then decided to level the small Baltic country of Slorenia. Now, the Avengers must fight back to finally put an end to this robotic monster!
This is the week we fans have been waiting for… By Thursday night, we will all be able to get tickets to see The Avengers: Age of Ultron in theaters. If you’re lucky to live outside North America, like the UK for example, you have already been able to see it and those of us in the Western Hemisphere hate your guts for it. Anyway, to round out the Ultron Handbook, I saved my all time favorite Ultron story, “Ultron Unlimited”, to start the same week of the film’s release!
“The Old Order Changeth!” exclaims the first page in total Stan Lee fashion. Welcome back to Comic Book Classics Revisited. We’re closing out this week by taking a break from our Ultron Handbook to take a moment to look at when two other characters to be featured in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron movie joined the Avengers – Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Let’s jump right into The Avengers #16, shall we?
Ultron-6 has brought New York City to the brink of a nuclear holocaust! Welcome back to Comic Book Clog’s Comic Book Classics Revisited series! Today, I continue our Ultron Handbook with The Avengers (1963) #68. Let’s jump right into this issue and see how the Avengers stop the maniacal killer robot…
Comic Book Classics Revisited has returned… And so has Ultron! Our Ultron Handbook rolls on as we’ve come to The Avengers #67. In the previous issue, we saw the Vision betray his Avengers brethren and assists in the creation of Ultron-6, now clad in indestructible adamantium!
Comic Book Classics Revisited continues the Ultron Handbook with the third Ultron story that starts with today’s The Avengers (1963 Series) #66! Previously, we’ve seen Ultron first appearing as the “Crimson Cowl” who gathered together a new Masters of Evil to take down the Avengers. We’ve also seen Ultron try to take out his hated foes by creating an android, later named The Vision, to infiltrate and lead the Avengers to their doom. It wasn’t until the last issue (#58) where we get a backstory of where Ultron came from – he was an experiment gone bad (really bad) for Hank Pym. So, now we’re all caught up. It’s time to jump into the third Ultron story!
Comic Book Classics Revisited returns with another installment in our “Ultron Handbook” cycle to help prepare you for the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. Today, we continue with the second part of the introduction of Ultron’s creation, the Vision. A few questions about the origins of both the Vision and Ultron were posed in the previous issue. Now, it’s time for the answers. Let’s jump in, shall we?
Behold the Vision! Welcome back to Comic Book Classics Revisited. Today, we hit a landmark in our journey through Ultron’s history. Not only does the villainous robot return to terrorize the Avengers once more, but he brings his creation, the Vision with him! Let’s take a look at The Avengers #57.
It’s another Friday, and another installment of Comic Book Classics Revisited! Today, we’ll continue our “Ultron Handbook” to get you familiar with the Avengers’ deadliest foe and star of The Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. Read on to see our look at 1968’s The Avengers #55!
Welcome to a new cycle of Comic Book Classics Revisited! You know, there’s a LOT of talk out there about the Avengers and this Ultron guy that is about to start an entire “Age” named after himself. That’s kinda egotistical, isn’t it? Anyway, who is this Ultron character? What’s his beef with the Avengers? We’ve already seen Ultron back when I looked at the original Secret Wars, but he was treated as Doctor Doom’s lackey more than the murderous robot that he is.
