What I thought of...Age of Ultron #8

Age of Ultron #8: This issue is a lot of talking(surprise, surprise). Wolverine has killed Hank Pym and is now back in the present, except it's all wrong. It's, by far, not the place that he left. Magic reigns supreme and the Avengers have disbanded and the only group of heroes is The Defenders. And Iron Man is dead. Except he's not. Or something like that.
The Good: Whew. This is gonna be tough, as I really didn't like this issue. The art was pretty good, I guess.
The Bad: Good Lord!!! This issue STUNK!!In a nutshell, it's the heroes of the "current" world are trying to figure out why there's 2 Wolverines (they obviously don't read Marvel Comics), and why Sue Richards is alive and what went wrong after Hank Pym dies. To some up...BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Shit, this is NOTHING but talking heads. Yeah, there's some action, but it's pretty sparse, and the story doesn't really move forward. Basically, this issue could've been condensed into about 4 pages or it would've been perfect for one of the Age of Ultron one-shots.
The Verdict: PASS. Unless you HAVE to own every issue of Age of Ultron, don't bother with this one. Nothing happens.

What I thought of...Age of Ultron #6

Age of Ultron #6: What can I say about this issue except HOLY $#!&!!!! There is a LOT of stuff going on in this series and this issue in particular, kicks it into overdrive. Some STRANGE alliances are made in this issue, some weird team ups are formed, and it's just pretty much all around fun.
The Good: Juuuuuuuuuuuust about everything. We go from Brian Hitch to Brandon Peterson & Carlos Pacheco, which is not to shabby and it's a natural transition in the story. It doesn't come across as jarring or forced at all. BUT, the best part about this issue......STUFF HAPPENS!!!!!....
The Bad: ....or does it? One thing that happens in this issue, which I won't spoil, well, there's NO WAY it's going to stay permanent which begs the question-is any of this stuff REALLY going to stick or have any type of lasting continuity in the Marvel Universe? Or, is this just a big budget "What If?" story? Only time will tell.
The Verdict: BUY IT!! It's a REALLY great read, you're going to enjoy it!
