The unexpected return of Ultron finds the Avengers much different than their past encounter, while Ultron’s plan to eradicate life on Earth remains unchanged. Remender’s storyline focuses on the tensions between Hank Pym (Ant-Man) and The Vision as they struggle to overcome Ultron’s plan of destruction, but also focuses closely on the responsibility and dynamics of fatherhood. Vision and Ultron are both cybernetic consciousnesses created by Pym, so when Pym suggests that Ultron need be destroyed and strives to justify radical measures, Vision is understandably upset. In addition to these heady concerns, this book soars in delivering classic Avengers action, with fan-favorite characters bouncing off of each other in thrilling ways. This is a fun, fast read for fans of the recent Age of Ultron movie looking for more.

This was very good and might be one of the best Ultron stories I've read. Rick Remender might be the only person who can write Avengers I actually care about!

Stellar 10/10 art. This is how I wish Ultron looked in the movie.
The story was fine; I'm not sure much if any new ground was trod in the exploration of Pym and Ultron's psyches and familial relationships to one another, but I liked it nonetheless.Pym's insecurities and inner monologues were my favourite parts actually, with the dilemma of using his neural inhibitor and him essentially pouting at how he is perceived and treated.
The resolution of the plot was very unsatifying to me however - it just sort of happened out of nowhere and didn't feel earned.

More like a 3.5 and not quite a 4. It was a good read, though. Not groundbreaking but fun stuff from the mostly reliable Rick Remender, and there was some good artwork here as well. Good to see two different Avengers teams in action but if you're expecting a tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe then you'll be disappointed. It does give a good exploration of the Hank Pym/Ultron connection though if you're not overly familiar with the link between those two.

I love Remender and Opena but I'm not sure what the point of this was. We've seen so many Ultron battles involving Hank and Vision. This added a little more complexity due to the questions of "What is life" but still, this was nothing new. The art was beautiful but I don't know where this belongs or why it needed told.

Was meh, kind of weird. Art was ok but really didn’t go very far with story.

I really enjoyed it because it was something different than what I am use to based off the avengers I see in the movies. This is my first marvel comic book and I definitely have learned some new things. Looking forward to reading more marvel comics on the avengers!

Remender isn't a bad writer, but some of the supervillainy of this original graphic novel reads like bad fan fiction, with enormous grandstanding and preposterous villain-logic. It's largely overblown, and while it does put Hank Pym in the spotlight, I think its grimdark tone is overwrought and the story underdeveloped. It would have made a nice 60-page issue, or even a five-issue arc, but as an OGN, it's a letdown.
