• Now, seven Avengers are brought through time by Doctor Doom to battle the machine god for the fate of the cosmos... or die trying!
• It begins here - an epic adventure spanning the past and future of the Avengers!
I'll be honest, I came into this issue expecting a forgettable throw-away movie tie-in, but what I got was a story more in the vein of 'Avengers Forever' than the bloodless in-name-only one-shot I worried it might be. The parallels with AF are certainly intentional, but end up being the weakest part of the issue for me, with the presence of two Thors recalling that stories use of two Hank Pyms, and several other moments that harken back to Busiek's story. Still, it's a story that I enjoyed reading and one that debuted a new favorite character in Danielle 'Captain America' Cage. Read Full Review
Featuring plenty of strong set pieces, clearly defined characters and surprising twists, Avengers: Ultron Forever is a superhero spectacle with enough elements to sustain momentum through its two remaining issues and to appeal to new and veteran readers alike. Read Full Review
"Avengers: Ultron Forever" #1 is a solid start to this particular storyline. The story is a good opening chapter, and the art and coloring looks extremely attractive. My only real complaint is that, even with the battles at the end of the comic, Ultron coasts more on reputation than actually evoking any fear. We're told how dangerous the Ultron Singularity is but, for whatever reason, he's not coming across as truly deadly. Hopefully, that will be a bit more in the foreground as the Avengers get closer to the killer robot itself. Based on what we get here, though, I think most readers would want to see the next installment. Mission accomplished. Read Full Review
Avengers: Ultron Forver isn't perfect and its more than a little goofy, but still manages to be a fun read starring the future synthetic ruler of Earth's cinemas. Read Full Review
