The competition between the Ultrons kicks into high gear as the West Coast Avengers finally take on the Church of Ultron! And as they battle Ultron's loyal followers, another threat looms - what's Flag-Smasher been up to in prison?
Rated T+
If you are tired of seeing me give this book perfect scores, that's too bad! This issue is just another bright spot in a series full of incredible art and fantastic storytelling. With a terrifying villain and real emotional stakes, this is the best Avengers book on the stands now. Read Full Review
West Coast Avengers #8 is fast, funny, and packed with escalating threats that set the stage for a wild second arc. Duggan and Caselli keep the energy high and the tone sharp, proving once again that this is one of Marvels most under-the-radar joys. Read Full Review
Tony Stark is infuriating and the Ultrons equally so, but the build-up to what I hope is a a new Ultron and/or the full-on reboot of the WCA is effective stuff. Read Full Review
I like the art. It shows a lot of potential. From a story perspective this is one of the lesser issues in the run so far.
Most of the issue would be a solid 6 for me, nothing special. Kim‘s art is still somewhat amateurish, although it does show signs of future greatness.
However, Killerwatt's dilemma at the end is so interesting, I had to give the book an extra point. For some reason he's a new favourite character of mine, and I love the fact that he seems to become the heart of this team.
