World of Ultron-Warcraft
We may only be halfway through Avengers vs. X-Men, but you better believe that’s not going to stop Marvel Comics from teasing their next big Event Comic! AvX has to stop at some point, right? And Marvel still wants our money, right?
Well say hello to today’s new teasers!
Watch out, Thor!
Oh no, Wolverine!
So I guess both Thor and Wolverine survive Avengers vs. X-Men, at least.
Anyway! What could those teasers possibly mean? How about the infinitely hyped Ultron War that Marvel has been working on in secret for the past year or so. It was the focus of this year’s Free Comic Book Day issue, and both writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Bryan Hitch (one of my faves) have mentioned it as part of their final Marvel blowout. Hitch has left the company, and Bendis is leaving The Avengers series. Ultron War has been hinted at in Avengers comics, Captain America and I think even Iron Man.
So yeah, that’s my prediction for what these trailers mean. I’m sure we’ll learn more at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con when it rolls around next month. I think it’ll be a pretty cool story. It’ll be nice for the heroes to fight villains for a change, and a villain that matters. Ultron is a true classic villain. Not like the Serpent who showed up in last year’s Fear Itself, who showed up, did nothing and got defeated. Yawn.
Bring on the Ultron War!
Firefly and The Avengers Together At Last
The creative genius that is Hud1313 has brought us a look at The Avengers to the style of the Firefly opening theme. Two great Joss Whedon creations in one! Stuff like this is what the Internet was made for, so enjoy!
Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #6
Following up on last issue’s epic cliffhanger, Avengers vs. X-Men #6 does not disappoint when it comes to scale. Gone is the petty back and forth between the Avengers and the X-Men, replaced by much bigger and better things. Unfortunately, this also looks to be the issue where the story starts to get regrettably predictable. I still have faith that this series will be able to surprise me down the line. But I think it’s obvious to everyone where the story is headed from here on out. Marvel has definitely taken sides over who is right and who is wrong in this battle.
Avengers vs. X-Men #6
Of course, I’m still going to side with the X-Men! Down with the murderous traitor Wolverine and the bull-headed warmonger Captain America!
Comic rating: 5/5: Great.
I have always loved the work of artist Olivier Coipel, and to see him take over the series is a delight. His characters are fantastic, the details are stellar, and the man can draw epic scale like none other. You really get a feel for just how huge this story has become. If only Marvel had been able to organize their entire comic universe to match this story, it would feel stronger. There’d be a lot of other problems to contend with, but at least this story would have the proper weight behind it. Instead, we’re just going to have to deal with Avengers vs. X-Men on its own, and that’s good enough.
But like I said, unless Marvel has some insane sort of awesomeness planned, there’s only one way this story is going to end. And that way sucks.
How do I think it’s going to end? Find out after the jump!
