First Look: AGE OF ULTRON #3 - Submit or Perish

SO EXCITED!!!!

Whoa, Black Panther and Taskmaster working together? You had my curiosity... but now you have my attention, Age of Ultron.

Black Panther died? How is this not an AU....

the art in some panels looks wierd

I'm excited.

@Backflip age of ultron is set in 616 ?

Looks so much better than AVsX

Seems not even Age of Ultron can fix Tasky's ugly ass mask smh.

I can't bring myself to care about this at all. I know Bendis said that this is in continuity, but it really doesn't feel like it.

Hey Taskmaster! Doubt I'll pick up Age of Ultron. If anthing I'll wait for the trade. Marvel events always seem to disappoint.

If I got it, it would only be for Tasky teaming up with Rulk.

Well at least it's not Heroes vs Heroes again.

This has kinda just spoiled one of the twists

maybe

RED HULK LOL. His face is priceless

So IS this 616?

This can't be a continuity the way everything has been destroy? No way. Especially when Kang is involve this will be another timeline. The survivors of this will travel back to the past before Ultron took over and reset everything the way it was and this will create an alternate timeline. Sorry this is the way i see it if it was the ultmate verse ok but the mainstream no way. Unless Bendis has lost it for good.

Is this in the main stream universe or?

I like Taskmaster's costume. Thats probably how he will look in the movies, when he shows up I mean.

Are there any character design pics of his new uniform?

I don't understand why people are confused on whether this will be a different universe or will end with it being a different universe. I mean: Age of Apocalypse, Age of Ultron. Seems to me that it's pretty obvious.

Taskmaster along side with Red Hulk and T'Challa...interesting.

Why are Red Hulk's eyes not yellow? When did She-Hulk get a haircut? How can Ultron's lasers pierce T'challa's vibranium armor? Why are the Ultron's organic? Why is Taskmaster SO AWESOME?!

I love Brian Hitch

Looks like there will be alliances unlike anything we've ever seen...again.

@StMichalofWilson:

Heh, just wait for the Infinity arc....

Rulk looks weird.

@Quintus_Knightfall: I was thinking the same thing. His mask actually looks cool in the Task Master Mini-series. More of a Mexican "Day of the Dead" mask.

Yeah thats one of the only times I can recall him sporting a decent mask portrayal. Udon's mask is cool too.

my money is on the survivors going back in time before Ultron takes over

@Tellumo: I think that is oil.

@jstndmnd: Well whoever does the colours is getting a slap!

Who the hell is Orange Hulk?

agreed

The teaser for this specifically stated that it's NOT an alternate reality, but with the total destruction of pretty much everything, how can it not be?

Also, is it just me, or is releasing a preview to #3 when #1 isn't even out, kind of pointless.

Really digging Taskys new look.

Did Black Panther just died in this preview? O_o

Taskmaster? Nice! I didn't really think about how the villains might actually help in this event.

Does it even matter if it's mainstream or alternate? Everything goes back to the way it is anyway. Try to apreciate the fuckin sense here. My only problem is that this crossover is too soon. I mean cant they wait for a year to come before making another big event?

Your just still sore that he can beat up Lady Shiva...

He is desperately in need of a new costume, the 80's undead pirate costume is way past overdue for replacement.

Am I the only one who doesn't like this art?

LOVE the art! It's the old seriousness from the ultimate universe that makes this look so dark and interesting.

@Prodigy P: From what I can tell you are the only one and apparently also tony_shark.

whos that big green guy that luke cage is holding

Very nice...Panther and Tasky and Rulky working together. Color me fascinated.

 I get the feeling Red Hulk is going to die, which would be pointless.

Ouch... way to go with the Black Panther head bonk. Taskmaster isn't really portrayed well as far as looks, of course this is my opinion. Looks more like a chimp skull than an actual skull in the panel. Amazing art work non the less.

Red Hulks face looks strange because he looks like a nice guy haha.

Where is Ultron? I want to see THE Ultron, not his little babies.

You had me at Taskmaster.

Sigh, Bryan Hitch's art has really dropped since his earlier days. It's not that it's bad, but his AoU art suffers from the same problem his Captain America Reborn work had - rushed and messy inks. Then there's the lack of black lines around the panels - which is really distracting. There were no black lines in Cap Reborn, only white gutters like this, and it was really uncomfortable to read.

Also, Taskmaster's costume looks like a weird blend of Hitch's Moon Knight and the Ultimate Quicksilver costume :O

Still, despite the somewhat-disappointing art, I'm definitely looking forward to this crossover. Alternate universe or not, if it's anything like the quality of Bendis' recent writing (All New X-Men!)...my interest is piqued.
