Ultron building up over the years is real good. Of course it's a little bit to too much cringe-worthy at the beginning, with previous appearances, but over the years it gets better and better and ok, we can excuse the cringing dialogue because "old times". Other than that it's good. I think my favourite issues were with Ultron trying to steal Janet's life-force and transfer it to his own robot-wife, tricking Ant-Man into helping him achieve that too. Awesome stuff! And now, he's back for more evildoing and that was great too! Solid artwork as well. Good stuff!
Yeah, was going to put 4 stars in it but most of the stories on this one were going like that : start---gets interesting---MORE interesting---ends with cliffhanger --- next issue starts with a new story without explaining what happened on the damn cliffhanger --- oh wait-- after 5 pages an explanation is happening but with a way like we're trying to get it over with real fast without showing anything. - So, basically one example would be - Ant-man attacks the Avengers thinking that they're fake avengers not the real ones but doppelgängers and that sounds interesting, especially when releasing thousands of ants all over every one and shit. But are they the real Avengers? Antman went mad? What's happening. The whole issue was great. And with a great cliffhanger, but on the next issue, there's no wrapping up with what's going to happen to Ant-Man, of Wasp, or with Ultron and his "woman". Nope, we just get Iron Man talking to the phone with I don't remember who, telling us that Wasp told him that Hank is getting better and now his mind is better and shit like that... NOPE. Fuck that shit. Oh well! But I really loved most of the stories, great old stuff here!
Yeah, and we're back on stupid shit... I think that Beast joining the Avengers was the worst decision for the Avengers that was ever made in the history of teams... EVER. Beast in general is an ok character. I was never a huge fan of Beast on the X-Men, mainly when I started reading comics back in the 90s, I wasn't a huge fan of him but I didn't hate him or anything. And up until now, Beast is fine. Beast is ok. I don't hate him or love him. I like him. But I wouldn't be too sad if there was no Beast on X-Men. Ok? Now, here.. Beast is SO FUCKING ANNOYING. He's like a 5 year old. He's like the new Hawkeye for the has-been Avengers. Always bitching and crying and saying stupid shit and being upset for ridiculous cringe-worthy reasons that make ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING SENSE. UGHHHh... when was this? 70s? 80s? I don't know I don't wanna know. It sucked. Beast sucks. BIG TIME. Never again. Oh, Hellcat on the cover, boy, was that one of the most boring stories ever.. hah... almost fell asleep there. Oh well! On to the next one \o/
Yeah, I think that's the volume, that started changing things to better back then. I think that Englehart got like levelled up with his writing in this volume right here. Loved most of his stuff here and especially towards the end. The artwork as always was great!
It was ok! I kinda liked it but had its ups & downs overall.. +1 for the great artwork, and if you don't pay too much attention to the mostly silly plot/dialogue you'll have fun reading it. And Major upgrade with Conway from Stan Lee's Spidey with the over-analyzation of everything and the dumb as fuck dialogue written for ages -30 to 5 that got old real fast and if you're not reading because of nostalgia then it's pretty much unreadable after 30 issues or so. There's so many times that you can read the same issue over and over again that follows the same formula with the same kinda dialogue and pages of thought bubbles that tells you exactly what your fucking eyes are looking at on the panels. /rantover
