Last week Marvel released a teaser for the upcoming AGE OF ULTRON event. Today, Marvel and writer Brian Michael Bendis have released some details about the ten issue miniseries.
The ten issues will ship between March and June of 2013. Bendis will be joined by Bryan Hitch on the first five issues with the second five drawn by Brandon Peterson and Carlos Pacheco. According to Arune Singh, Marvel's Director of Communication, "There will be a very cool reason for the artistic shift."
The Avengers will be entering the "darkest days of the Marvel Universe" as they fight for survival and have only two choices—Submit or Perish.
According to Bendis:
In the vein of Infinity Gauntlet, Secret Invasion and Civil War, Age of Ultron is a massive Marvel Universe-spanning Event. One of our most famous villains, Ultron, the super artificial intelligence, has fulfilled his destiny and taken the Earth. This story touches every corner of the Marvel Universe and will have an amazing effect on things going forward. We have taken the time to do this right- everything is gorgeous, every page matters, and most of all- something I'm very proud of- is that it will be shipping at a furious pace. Every day for the last year and a half people have been asking me when this story will come and I'm thrilled to announce that it is here.
If you read last year's POINT ONE one-shot, you saw the sneak peek at what we can expect. Marvel has released some images to give us a taste of what's coming.
