With Marvel Comics bringing out the original graphic novel Avengers: Rage of Ultron this week in advance of the new theatrical movie, they’ve now released the finalized cover and a look at several lettered pages with what’s going on in it. Having a book like this in the bookstore channels ahead of the move is definitely smart marketing since it can draw people into the comics themselves, but also being an original work gets the longtime fans to take notice as well.
The book comes from New York Times bestselling writer Rick Remender (Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Force) with critically acclaimed artists JeromeOpeña (Avengers, Uncanny X-Force) and Pepe Larraz (Kanan: The Last Padawan).
Plot concept: Time and again, Ultron has reformed himself. Each time more vicious and destructive than the last. Today, he has returned, unleashing his destructive fury upon Saturn’s moon Titan – home of the superpowered race of Eternals and birthplace of Thanos the Mad. With the Eternals decimated, and Ultron gaining complete control over Titan’s central computer core, there is nothing to stop Planet Ultron! What hope do the Avengers stand against an entire planet of Ultron robots?
Only Ultron’s creator Hank Pym holds the secret to defeating his unhinged creation. A secret that dates back to the Avengers of a bygone era. A secret that comes with a terrible price…
