I have my money on the Ultrons.

It's interesting that they are using Wonder Man, Vision, and Jim Hammond together in one book as the Vision was based on Wonder Man's brain waves and created from Jim Hammond's body by Ultron. I wonder how Robinson will use that in the book.

My money is on zombie J Jonah Jameson.....

@cap10nate: Shhhh...that origin is confusing as is. No need to explain how we get all three together in the same place.

@blazingnova: My money's on the respawning Annihilation Wave taking both groups out somehow

I wonder what's going to happen to Tygra.

This looks good

... who am I supposed to root for? lol

Am I the only one here who thinks Tigra looks more like Cheetah???

Pretty sure any universe where Ultron exists would be taken over by Ultron (like AOU). Why are they so easily contained in Secret wars?

They are contained by a (probably) Omnipotent Doctor Doom and his army of skyfathers/Thors. Don't worry, some friends and foes from the 616 survived and are going to cause havoc in his world.

Budget is probably going to make me skip this one, but it looks crazy.

Yep

Yep

Yep

Wasn't interested previously, but the fact that Wonder Man and Vision are in it has me rethinking that stance

Shame that the zombies aren't facing the Ultron bots from AOU.

This will be a definite purchase for me !!!

@farkam: sorry about that.

For some reason that Scotty Young variant just keeps me laughing...

no problem

Marvel knows Im a sucker for these things.

When I heard about this originally I had no interest. Sounded ridiculous, but seeing it in action it looks a little better. Not sure I'll be grabbing it because of time issues (can only read so many books a week) but it has at least caught my attention. I'm sure it will be a pretty cool read if not terribly important to the main narrative of SW.

Neat. I didn't know Robinson was writing this, has me double interested

This is one of the titles I've been looking forward to the most from Secret Wars. I really liked the Age Of Ultron story. Never would have guessed I'd get lucky enough to see it mashed up with the Marvel Zombies.

@grandsymbiote94: Nope, I see it as well haha

Perfect 10! Would want to see that.

Wow, nice and Carnagey. I imagine many limbs will be lost in this series.

This is so dumb, it's actually good.

The art looks amazing.
