Exclusive First Look: WHAT IF? AGE OF ULTRON

@rainja: you know, that's probably explained in the comic and if you read it when it comes out you might find the answers to all of that. Imagine that.

@vor_8701911: I still don't see how Tony Stark the technological genius death will:

1.Cause Hulk to be a cross dresser wearing ballerina shoes.

2.Turn Wolverine into a damned sailor.

3.Cause the spirit of Vengance to be happy

4.Result in Spider-Man gaining a damned gut.

Please explain to me where is the connection.

Nice to see so many people butthurt about variations done to their precious heroes in a "what if" series. It's a WHAT IF series. It's supposed to be different. You havent even given it a chance yet.

@loplopool: LOL, I agree, and that was hilarious!!!! This art is shit. However. Just wait, The Marvel Hippies are going to come out and talk about how Beautiful and unique this art is and this is so appealing. The story looks to be shit, like shit, Ironman dies and Hulk is friendly,Spiderman has a pot belly and wolverine is now a sailor. SHIT art and story!

artwork looks terrible, ugh.

LOL.

I think it's just called that because of when in Age Of Ultron, Wolverine killed Hank Pym, we saw a glimpse of how the Marvel Universe would have gone without him, and these issues seem to be exploring what would happen in a world where a different early Avenger had died.

I can't quite see the Ultron link though, as presumably there would be no good reason for these heroes to be deliberately killed off during Age Of Ultron. Maybe it's just so Marvel can put a comic on the shelves with a similar name to an upcoming film to draw in more readers.

Interesting. Looking past the fact that Wolverines claws magically curved around his fist and knuckles in the first pages, I don't mind the art. It doesn't look like a little kid did it (seriously find me a kid who can draw like that), it's just a different style. I was iffy about this, well until they mentioned The New Fantastic Four would be in it. Picking it up.

That art is fantastic.

Unfit Spidey now that looks funny

Y'know, I have no doubt there is a place for this kind of art. I don't like it, but I bet in another story (or universe) I wouldn't mind it. But when the concept is: A bunch of old/retired superheroes setting out in a wartorn, scorched Earth seeking the one forgotten man who might save humanity, I'm thinking Old Man Logan. I'm thinking Spider-Man: Reign. I'm thinking Hulk: The End. I am NOT thinking Saturday Morning Cartoons.

This possible present SOUNDS like a s***hole I'd love to read about. But it LOOKS like a joke I want to avoid.

Taking into account that the last Event What if? was the lackluster AvX, and that was an atrocity, and Age of Ultron's mediocrity in general, I think I'll be passing this one by.

that art looks so amazing! its just like Manhattan Projects! :D :D :D

The world would be no different. Except Angela would have been given a decent reason to enter the verse and I'd have spent £30 on something decent! :)

I have nothing against this art but what does any of that seem to have to do with ultron?

looks like spidey has been drinking too many brews on his spare time

I'm really enjoying that art. It's different than what you see mostly now a days. But the portrayals of these characters are hilarious just because there is no Tony Stark. Fat Spider-Man who can't decide if he wants to hear his classic gear or his symbiote gear, Wolverine is now a sailor, Ghost Rider looks happy, and Hulk is a hippie wearing BALLERINA SHOES! All because Tony disappeared! Hahahahahahhaha. I can't help but WANT to read this because of that.

Sooo fat Spider-Man, hippy Hulk, Wolverine the Sailer Man and Hunchback Ghost Rider are looking for Iron Man...well color me intrigued!!

Thank you. Reading the most of the responses to this artist made me want to punch my computer screen. I would imagine that the artist isn't, in fact, four years old and is employed by a major publisher, which is more than can be said for the person posting that response, who, I would imagine, is a master of burning McDonalds Patties, or simply, a master of being an arse.

Ultron is still my favorite villain

Like the change in art

What the hell is this?!? Looks as awful and pointless as the real thing. Arrrgh!

Oh man, this art is absolutely amazing. I wish more comics looked like this.

I think the art is amazing, although I tend to appreciate comicbooks as a medium instead of decry everything reflexively.

That art is beyond s£&t

Marvel usually has some pretty good artists but this just doesn't work for this title at all

Ghost Rider looks like something from Adventure Time. How did they manage to make him look hilarious?

Ummm O_o

or What if it mattered.

So Wolverine looks like the Skipper from Gilligan's Island; Hulk is, what, a Shaolin Monk; Ghost Rider looks like a hunchback, and Spidey is dressed like a retired WW1 pilot.

What if we don't make this and focused on making some better books and events?

I am still looking for the greatest "What if" of all. "What if Wolverine wasn't in every Marvel book?" That is a reality I would travel to.

or What If it made sense

-_- You know, ignoring the fact that Age of Ultron didnt deliver as a story or as an event that would "change the marvel universe forever".......This is stupid.

Umm... So we don't have Iron Man and... Wolverine's like a sailor or something. Spidey's got a beer belly. And Hulk's a... hippie? Who also wears shoes... o_O

Huh, look, it's the "Fantastic Four"

Wait.... shouldn't hulk be grey

So Iron Man dies and Wolverine becomes a sailor?

Really...

What if they hired real artist insteado f 4yr old kids

What if it never existed?

They should do a "What If Age of Ultron Was Good?" Book next

Wait Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider are "powerless"? Bullspit.
