Multiple universes will suffer the consequences of Wolverine’s actions in Age of Ultron! Earth’s Mightiest Heroes found a way to stop Ultron but Logan’s time jumps have ruptured the continuum! Angela has been pulled into the Marvel Universe. Galactus was transported into the Ultimate Universe – and he’s hungry!

 

Age of Ultron writer Brian Michael Bendis, new Ultimate Comics Ultimates writer Joshua Fialkov, Executive Editor Tom Brevoort and Ultimate Comics Editor Mark Panicca previewed the aftermath of Age of Ultron #10 in Marvel liveblog.

 

HUNGER will be a four-part series kicking off in July in which the Ultimate Universe faces the threat of Galactus! Bendis explains how the events of AoU inspired ideas of how it could impact the Marvel multiverse:

 

“For a lot of Age of Ultron, it was me and Tom Brevoort planning alone. When we put it out to everybody at Marvel that we were doing this crazy time travel story, we told them we wanted there to be ramifications. We asked ‘What’s the craziest thing that could fall into the Marvel Universe?’ A lot of ideas were something dropping on the Ultimate Universe that would be insane. Then Joe Quesada called me out of the blue and told me we could have Angela. That was about the craziest thing I ever heard. Then Neil Gaiman wanting Continue reading Galactus Has Ultimate HUNGER

Happy One Year Anniversary to Northstar and Kyle Jinadu! It was one year ago the X-Man married Kyle Jinadu in Astonishing X-Men #51. The marriage was heavily promoted, protested and celebrated. Openly gay X-Man Northstar married Kyle Jinadu with the X-Men and Alpha Flight watching in New York’s Central Park. The big event inspired some gay X-men fans to tie the knot…in a comic book store on the day of the wedding issue’s arrival! The wedding of Jean-Paul and Kyle was huge for mainsteam comics but continued the tradition of diversity in the X-Men history.

 

Jean-Paul and Kyle are still together, still trying to cope with the pressures and dangers of being a super couple targeted by villains. Northstar’s wedding was a major milestone in comic books. Back in the 1980’s John Byrne (Jean-Paul’s creator along with the rest of the Canadian supergroup Alpha Flight) wasn’t allowed Continue reading X-Men Gay Wedding Anniversary

Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants strikes? Director Bryan Singer shared a new set photo via Twitter from X-Men Days of Future Past. The new photo shows what looks like a political rally with a White House memo referring to an incident in Paris.

“Today we face the gravest threat in our history…

What the world saw in Paris was not an isolated incident.”

The film is based on the classic story involving future and past X-Men trying to stop the assassination of a Senator which leads to a dark future in which mutants are hunted to near extinction.

“Everybody in the book is drawing sequences that are tailored for them.” said Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort earlier this year.

The finale marks the return of Neil Gaiman to Marvel and introduction Angela (from the Image book Spawn)  to the Marvel Universe in Age of Ultron #10. Angela’s Marvel story will continue into Guardians of the Galaxy #5, co-written by Bendis and Gaiman.

The Age of Ultron really began Hank Pym creating the artificial intelligence and the founding Avenger will be central to the immediate future of the Marvel Universe.

“The aftermath focuses heavily on Hank Pym,” said Brevoort, “He goes through a fairly transformative experience… given that he’s dead. Age of Ultron #10 AI is a deep dive into the history of Hank Pym.”
