Submit or Perish - First Look: AGE OF ULTRON #5

Here's hoping RULK dies!

Um, okay. Still not enjoying the series so far.

I like the series, but how is Spider-Man peter parker? and how does emma still have her power?

Hopefully the story progresses much more over the following issues, its felt almost vacant within the first two entries in the series. Bryan Hitch's work, as usual, looks mind-blowingly stunning, I consistently am finding myself disappointed by Marvel's shuffling of team's, yes I understand the scheduling is much more hectic with the 2 week launch window, but I would happily wait for the likes of Hitch and Cassaday, but, if Marvel decide to change artists persistently, please, choose an artist with a somewhat similar style. I get shudder's looking at the hideous teaser images for Indestructible Hulk...

Why can't Bryan Hitch do the entirety of the artistic duties for this series...

Interested to see where the alternate costumed heroes come in. I'm speaking in reference to Cap with an eye patch and all that jazz.

Cap has a eye patch?

@thanobomb1124:

In some of the promo art released, several heroes had new costumes.

So is it Peter Parker Spider-Man or Doc Ock? How does Superior Spider-Man tie into this if thats Peter Parker? 

I want to know why Iron Man looks like he's on the Grid...yes a Tron reference kids...Tony looks like Tron

Series sucks. MASSIVELY! What a huge disappointment... art and writting... First issue was just a reprint of last years point one with 2 or 3 more pages...

So is it Peter Parker Spider-Man or Doc Ock? How does Superior Spider-Man tie into this if thats Peter Parker? 

@Dman1366: im pretty sure its doc ok. nobody knows he isnt peter so i imagine you get no insight until superior spider-man 6 au.

probably spoilers for the end of superiour but i dont get how Superiour has a tie in if he is still parker ?

@kriminal: but im confused since Emma scaned his mind and confirmed it was peter unless he can somehow fool her telepathy....

Bryan Hitch's art is amazing

More and more interested for Rulk's role with first looks like this to be honest.

I love Hitch's art, but nothing about this series makes me want to read it...

This is very odd, mostly street levelers have survived Ultron. This book is puzzling to me. I wanna know what happened to the big guns in the 616? Street levelers, militants, spies, and Kazar?

BECAUSE MAN, somewhere down the line Tony decided Tron's costumes were cool. (Hope you understood that Tron reference)

guys... Thats Nick fury... he is standing right next to cap in the first panel of the last page.

Where's Hulk and Thor..?

I really don't like this book. It seems to just be heroes sitting around in a dark room and flash back about how things suck.

@deadpool25mm: .....no, I swear to Christ. You obviously don't know what we are referencing...

DIE RULK DIE!!! (So the terrible Thunderbolts book cease to exist)

where did taskmaster go? did he just cameo in issue 1?

Here's hoping RULK dies!

@SexualLobster: Probably dead. Thor dies all the time at least.

The only thing we got from this weeks issue was more characters, and the knowledge that Captain America actually has a plan. Other then that it was pretty much the same thing as issue number 1. Bendis does tho. Sometimes he takes 2 or 3 issues of beating around the bush. Sometimes it comes off like it's un-needed, but when his stories finally take off they TAKE OFF so I don't really complain that much about it. Plus we still got another issue of Bryan Hitch's art and it was once again sick as hell so who cares?

Hitch's art looks nicer here. He still won't get rid of the annoying white gutters and add lines around panels, but the internal work (especially the Ultron's suburb assault) is very impressive. But the cover looks kinda crappy....overall lack of inks and definition. Also, for some reason, Hitch is never able to draw Wolverine's mask right.

Bendis' writing on the other hand seems to have gotten very mixed responses.

I think I'll hold off for the trade, see what other people think of AoU once it's reached its conclusion, before I consider picking it up.

I thought I read somewhere that this play's before Ock took over, and this is just good old Peter.

has anyone confirmed that this story actually takes place in 616? logically that would explain the difference in costumes/powers/and people.

@deadpool25mm this is what they were talking about

Omg I haven't picked up ultron yet but I just realised that that blue thing is ironman

@Bokkie: cool but I hav a problem with their comics timeline because they dont acknowlage continuity... for example Wolverine is all over the MU,without any explanation,one moment Spiderman is Pete and the other Ock...

Really boring so far.

Why start in the middle, with Thor and the Hulk already out of it?

Calling this anticlimactic is an understatement.
