Ultron has already taken over a modern day NY and we the lucky readers get to see the aftermath. Hawkeye leads the charge (single handedly) to save an 'Avenger-napped' Spiderman from a good old fashioned good-for-nothing gang.
Within these scenes, Bendis manages to capture the urgency and anger of Hawkeye in such few words, as well as the frenzy and boyish humour of the gang. But there's so much more we can say about Bendis but this would be like preaching to the converted (we may just stop reviewing anything written by him...), So let's shine some light on the real stars of the show - Bryan Hitch, Paul Neary and Paul Mounts. The pencils/inks and colours all comes together is such an amazing fashion.
The combo of Hitch/Neary/Mounts for these double spreads are beyond amazing, and the panels are a frenzy of action and awesomeness. The way Hawkeye flits across these panels murdering, maiming and saving are far too much fun, and the panels featuring the Ultrons' arrivals are like earth shattering, fear inducing music to our ears - we're surprised more comics don't use this kind of effect....(see below)
By the end of the issue we see which heroes appear to be left in the war against Ultron, as well as what has become of a fallen leader (no spoilers here...kinda)
After all the hype, we are happy to say that the Age of Ultron is here, and even after putting the issue down we can still feel the tremors. It's definitely gonna be a while until this story really begins to unfold, but based on this #1 it's gonna be worth the wait.
What Would Doom Do?
Easy...Sumbit or Perish_
