Age of Ultron #1 kicked off with the Avengers defeated and the insane android ruling over a scorched world. Issue Three arrives this week and a special Spider-Man tie-in issue.
Will a “Superior” Spider-Man survive the Age of Ultron? Spider-Man will be one of the few heroes left standing to stand against the ultimate Avengers enemy.

On the other hand, all around him is evidence of what Ultron has already done, and it’s hit the other heroes quite hard. So the question is, will Otto’s arrogance be his downfall, or will he be the one man confident enough to handle his business in the face of overwhelming tragedy?
