Latest Marvel Teaser - March 2013 A.U.

Can you crack the code?

Marvel does a lot of teasers. We got this one simply saying March 2013 A.U.

No Caption Provided

What? What could these numbers mean?

It doesn't take a genius (or former high school Mathematics teacher like myself) to figure out what this means. But to keep it fun and let you guess if you haven't figured it out, you can check out the spoiler tag below. I won't even tag this article with what it's about.

It's BINARY CODE.

Each string of numbers represents a letter or space. This simply says:

A g e _ o f _ U l t r o n

It just got real, folks.

I'm looking forward to this. Ten-issue main story in three months? Sold. Only ten or so tie-in issues, none of them essential? Even more sold. I hope this is the format most events take from here on out...I can't stand when they get extended to the point where they take up half the year, and then three months later it's summertime again, and time for the next event...

But ten issues in three months seems about right for me. Though, I feel like this will probably read a lot better in trade form, as do most of Bendis' bigger stories. The art team(s) sounds great, though. I'm glad Brandon Peterson is finally getting some recognition and better gigs...his style has really improved from what it used to be.

All-in-all, sounds like it could be a good time...I'm on board.

@RPatrick said:

Well now. Seems to be a bit of an overly-aggressive reaction, but hell, I'll run with it.

As to who asked me my opinion, well, no one did, specifically. But it's a message board...it's literally designed to be a forum where people share their thoughts and opinions.

I got your Onslaught reference. Loud and clear. Message received. However, Onslaught and Heroes Reborn were not "atrocities", they were comic-book storylined that weren't well- received. To compare them with the Arizona going down is a bit...extreme. I mean, I take comics as seriously as the next guy, but this is a bit much. Besides, they were stories told, like I said, over a decade ago. I have gotten over their mediocrity, and not re-read the back-issues since then (although some of the Onslaught stories had fairly good art... Joe Mad was on his game, back then, and Andy Kubert shone brightly as well.)

It's also fairly ludicrous to say that Marvel books have been objectively bad since that point, as you seemed to imply, and that people who have read any of the books and enjoyed them were, in effect, "eating manure and smiling," as you so eloquently overstated. If they read them and liked them, and you read them and didn't, it's not because those people in the first group drank the kool-aid and are too dumb to realize that they're consuming something horrible...it's just that their tastes are different than yours. Your opinion, while valid and not without merit, may not be the opinion of others.

Like I said earlier...if you're so consistently disappointed by Marvel's creative output (or "disemboweling," as you seem to think of it) just stop wasting your time and money on the product. That simple. There are PLENTY of other books out there, both by big name publishers and indepentent creators that may be more to your taste. And if you yearn for the good ol' days of Kirby, Romita, Lee, Thomas, etc... guess what? Their old books are still out there. You can read them again, and enjoy them just as much as you did the first time. If you think the current creative teams are a "joke of what the original teams have been," well, that's because the original teams are from 50-plus years ago, and time marches on. Different audience, different time. Though, if you're looking for a more old-school representation of Marvel favorites, I'd suggest Waid's Daredevil run, Millar and/or Hickman's Fantastic Four arcs or some of the Slott-era Amazing Spider-Man. While modern enough, those books seem to have the older-Marvel sensibility (Hickman's Fantastic Four, in particular, takes Kirby-style big-ideas and runs with them in a really fun and engaging way.)

I would say though, that you seem to think that bitching and moaning about Marvel is going to make the slightest bit of difference ("...dissent is the most effacious tool for change...") but then you continue to give them your money and read the books. Given Marvel's more corporate way of thinking, I would imagine that they are of the mind that people vote with their pocketbooks. So you may come onto messageboards and say Marvel's been putting out bad story after bad story for a decade and a half, yadda yadda, but then you spend X amount of money on their output every week/month/whatever. Marvel doesn't care if you like the books so long as you're buying. I mean, I'm sure they would prefer that you enjoy yourself, but when it comes down to it, I'm sure that they'd rather have someone like you, who so blatantly resents them yet continues to give them money, than someone who downloads the books illegally and enjoys them immensely.

With that out of the way, I want to add that the entire tone of your post is unnecessarily condescending and inappropriately so. You don't need to be overly-intellectual or needlessly demeaning and patronizing in order to make a point. I get why you voiced your opinion "and the purpose behind it." Odd, then, that you would open your remarks by asking me who the hell asked me mine...or, at least, making a show of not asking me ("I imagine I could begin my summary inquisition of your statements by...")

Well...rant over. I think I'm going to go read a comic book.

Charming. Since you don't want to address my concerns and really just want to cry about your skinned knee as a result of my language and cite examples/alternatives which simply don't cover the bleeding artery - how's this; You're wrong. I would have though that through your six or so paragraphs of opining about things which didn't address my concerns adequately you might blunder into something more concrete. Ah well, I suppose that is what I get from attempting to have a discourse over something abstract with someone already too eager to chastise someone about their opinion. It is odd, as you say - that you would react in such feigned 'surprise/offense' manner after you in fact were the party to instigate the discourse. No matter. I'm sure you're unaccustomed to someone calling you out onto the carpet for rhetoric that you most likely wouldn't attempt in person.

Forgetting the fact that you never answered my initial query over whether some CV staff reviews (and resident bloggers for argument's sake) constituted a forfeit of my ire - it's interesting that as loudly as I was addressing the issue of the abortion that was the Onslaught story, you still miss the point. Instead, you created a straw-man to indicate my analogy was 'extreme' and did nothing to answer the heart of the matter. Here, let me help you; the passage of time doesn't diminish something that's already happened. Your defense of art within the stories is irrelevant to the point - again. Since that time and the sixty odd some crossovers/events from marvel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publication_history_of_Marvel_comics_crossover_events - there have been at least three and in some cases four and five reboots to the main titles. I abhor this constant form of action and the marketing strategy inherent therein. This says nothing of my problem with the ethics in the story-line motif used within Onslaught. Hopefully this time - you hear that louder and clearer.

The one facet of my discussion you did manage to address was that I was 'ludicrous' in insinuating that Marvel's stories from that point were 'objectively bad'. Now in case you didn't know, comic publishers favor crossovers/events because they typically incite consumers into purchasing all related material which is of course a stable source of profit - this means more money just to be clear. In that pile of refuse within that link, I challenge you to find more than three stories which were multiple team crossover stories which were met with critical acclaim - and by that I mean by reputable literary sources a la the NY Times, Collegiate Periodical Publications, Peer Review and especially that from Industry Icons such as Smith, Gaiman, Miller, Moore. Coming back to the - wait for it - objective analysis that crossovers and events are near automatic money makers for publishing houses it is not an indication then that money/profit is always an indication of objectively good product. Oh and by the by - the most critically lauded series within that list ? It wasn't even a series that included the major teams within the mythos.

You also seem to be laboring under the notion that I continually support bad product from Marvel by subsidizing these stories in the form of my paycheck. Please pay attention because you missed one of the last points in my previous engagements; Dissent is the highest form of civil participation. You then go on into a ridiculous assumption that you can assist me by providing options to end my plight; reading back issues (while simultaneously insinuating that I should move on from bygone times) to accepting the fact that cultural milieus are the ultimate denominator in how the creative expression of the characters should be negotiated. I suppose you're right. Why don't we re-write the national anthem that it may be performed as rap written and composed by Justin Bieber. Or how about we start allowing graffiti along the Statue of Liberty that we may enable a more up to the moment expressionistic form of art. And instead of labeling this as 'extreme' in your mind - try then imagining your favorite character being rewritten in a direction that brings them in an ethical direction you find abhorrent. Imagine someone told you that your Iron Man mask was no longer chic because he now only wears the visage of a rubber duck or Hello Kitty. Hopefully that bone I threw to you will allow you to more properly personalize this discussion. Lastly - it's worth nothing that your currently published suggestions with the exception of Daredevil (rebooted 3 times and renumbered once since Onslaught) - are being rebooted. Again. Thus playing into my problem - but I doubt you noticed that as you were too upset over my harsh consonants and vowels.

Your last paragraph which so effortlessly ignores my discourse on the nature of exit, dissent and loyalty (http://www.amazon.com/Exit-Voice-Loyalty-Responses-Organizations/dp/0674276604/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1353379640&sr=1-1&keywords=exit+voice+and+loyalty - try it, you might actually learn from someone who honestly is more informed than my rather pedestrian self) within a civic institution is akin to listening to someone attempting to make it through a public speaking course - only worse. I've already addressed this in one of my prior paragraphs, but I'll lay it out there again for you; I am not buying Marvel product I don't approve of. More-over, this site is designed for folks like myself to spark meaningful conversation about the things we spend our hard earned money on. I do so in the hope that folks may actually see this and begin to demand more out of their dollar. Do you get that, tiger ? Hopefully - because you didn't the first time. You didn't get why I voiced my opinion - at all. So, that said then - you may continue to go read your comics and when the 'Kool Aid' gets passed around (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Applewhite) by Marvel, you can drink on up. Enjoy.

I find it hard to drum up any excitement over Marvel events anymore given what AVX turned into and the frequency in which they occur...

I kinda felt duped by AVX and it left a bad taste in my mouth so I might just wait till this one comes out in trades.

The "farce of NOW?"

They have, what, like 5 or six books out, and you're calling it a "farce?"

(Most of those books, by the way, having been getting good reviews...)

And you're griping about everything Marvel's done since ONSLAUGHT??? That was a decade and a half ago! If you haven't liked Marvel's output for the past 15 years and are still reading their stuff, then you, my friend, have a problem that you need to deal with...

Delightful. Well now that you've been so kind as to grace your opinion I feel as if I should do away with the pleasantries by saying first; I'm not your friend. That having been attended to - I imagine I could begin my summary inquisition of your statements by saying who the hell asked you for your opinion as I so often do. Instead - I'll tell ya sir, it seems funny that your sole line of justification for getting salty about my assault on the Marvel NOW! line is that it has garnered some good 'reviews'. Am I then to infer that simply because something receives a good 'review' it should forfeit the source of my ire - even when the source pre-dates the new product ?

You see, I'll help you as you don't seem to be able to understand my Onslaught reference, I have been mad at Marvel since that time - and for indiscretions on their behalf many times since then. In fact, I didn't start giving Marvel any of my paycheck again until 3 years had passed since the dubious 'Heroes Reborn' abortion was removed from the womb. However, does the fact that something occurred over a decade ago even remit the atrocity of an event ? Every December 7th, we honor the Arizona - and this year marks 71 years since that time. Marvel has been sallying out bad story after another for the last 15 years - but the reality is that without an objective (read data driven or empirically driven) barometer from the public - people will eat manure and smile about it if the media tells them its good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment - read that if you want an example that is now over 30 years old.

I am furious with Marvel for a lack of creative ingenuity which has resulted in what amounts to now the 3rd god forsaken restart of the main titles within 5 years. Maybe you've been hibernating. Maybe you don't have the chronological reference to understand because you haven't been reading or collecting for as long as I have. The larger conceit is I could care less if you or anyone else is empathetic to that cause as its my money and time which is being reduced to side-show material. Hopefully that milieu is understandable - but alas if not.

Perhaps then you'll begin to understand when someone with more time/money/emotion invested becomes rather upset over the creative disembowelment of the very things we enjoy. The titles you're referencing are a farce http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/farce?s=t - that's the literal definition for you in case you were curious. They are a joke of what the original teams have been, both in spirit and in character representation. I don't care that someone repackages guano with a pretty little bow and sprayed it with perfume to remove the scent. It's still fecal matter.

I continue to perpetuate Marvel via my subsidy the same way I remain a member of my society and stay married; there are many elements I love but others which drive me crazy. And since I sense (look'ee there a pun) that you may not know that dissent is the most efficacious tool for change for those willing to rebuild and Not completely tear down the institution - I'm speaking out. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson in voicing one's opinion and the purpose behind it. While arresting the next civil disobedient I come across - I may think of you. Or maybe I'll think of how bad Onslaught was again....

Well now. Seems to be a bit of an overly-aggressive reaction, but hell, I'll run with it.

As to who asked me my opinion, well, no one did, specifically. But it's a message board...it's literally designed to be a forum where people share their thoughts and opinions.

Don't know what this story is about, but I can only guess that its Ultron's Birthday and all the villains are scrambling to find out how old he's turning, so they know many candles to but for his cake. Thus beginning the epic Quest to find out the true "Age of Ultron"

Lemme see if I can shed more light on what SmashBrawler is saying.

Well, while DC does do universe-wide, life-changing events just as Marvel does, they space out said events over a much longer period. If I were to rattle off the last 4 major DC events, it'd probably be Infinite Crisis, Sinestro Corps War, Blackest Night, and Flashpoint. Those four events were spaced out from 2005-2011. Marvel, on the other hand, has had 2 major events from 2011 (Fear Itself and AvX), with this being a third. Therefore, I think that a good amount of the fanbase gets worn out and starts to blame the events themselves. They'll still read them in case anything really important happens, but they'll do so begrudgingly.

You forgot Final Crisis, but yeah, that's pretty much what I meant.

The larger conceit is I could care less if you or anyone else is empathetic to that cause as its my money and time which is being reduced to side-show material. Hopefully that milieu is understandable - but alas if not.

Perhaps then you'll begin to understand when someone with more time/money/emotion invested becomes rather upset over the creative disembowelment of the very things we enjoy. The titles you're referencing are a farce http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/farce?s=t - that's the literal definition for you in case you were curious. They are a joke of what the original teams have been, both in spirit and in character representation. I don't care that someone repackages guano with a pretty little bow and sprayed it with perfume to remove the scent. It's still fecal matter.

I continue to perpetuate Marvel via my subsidy the same way I remain a member of my society and stay married; there are many elements I love but others which drive me crazy. And since I sense (look'ee there a pun) that you may not know that dissent is the most efficacious tool for change for those willing to rebuild and Not completely tear down the institution - I'm speaking out. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson in voicing one's opinion and the purpose behind it. While arresting the next civil disobedient I come across - I may think of you. Or maybe I'll think of how bad Onslaught was again....

Dear Marvel,

Stop doing events. Or Crossovers. I don't care what Axel says. He's also the same talking head whom tried to snow me into believing the farce of NOW! not being an answer to the New 52 as a marketing strategy. Also - the next time you have an itch that turns into your next creative endeavor ? Stop. Many thanks from those of us still grumbling about the garbage you put us through post Onslaught.

The "farce of NOW?"

They have, what, like 5 or six books out, and you're calling it a "farce?"

(Most of those books, by the way, having been getting good reviews...)

And you're griping about everything Marvel's done since ONSLAUGHT??? That was a decade and a half ago! If you haven't liked Marvel's output for the past 15 years and are still reading their stuff, then you, my friend, have a problem that you need to deal with...

Ultron is easily the top 1 or 2 greatest Avengers villain ever. This is going to be awesome.

OH SHIT MOON KNIGHT.

If any of you read the amazing 12 issue run of Moon Knight last year, it ends with a tease; Moon Knight will return in the Age of Ultron! Hopefully he does make an appearance.

Plus, Ultron is awesome.

You know, DC's events get a lot less hate than Marvel ones.....wonder why?

Because they do less.

Cool teaser, but I'd prefer they let the books flow for a while.

-- What this man said.

Marvel, Hold off on the crossovers - at least for another year. Thanks.

Remember events and crossovers are 2 different things.

Anyway....if what Axel says is true we don't have to worry about the next event impeding the solo books

Even though I don't care what Marvel is planning, I'll give them props for the binary. That makes it interesting and tests the knowledge of the comic reader.

I just showed Marvel my "oh" face bacause of this

What I really hope though is that they have a story to do with Ultron in 2013 and wait to do a massive awesome crossover until the next year when they have built a proper story up, not just jumping into a crossover that''s just a series of battles without enough room for an awe-inspiring story like they have done with some of their recent events. They should also just let the Marvel NOW titles do their thing for a while and let the MU create itself in a natural way for once.
