Marvel shared this preview of Age of Ultron #8 by artist Brandon Peterson. Logan and Susan appear to be facing off against Iron Man. The other image shows someone (that doesn’t look like Tony Stark) in the Iron Man armor but tapped into a matrix or network (perhaps inside Ultron) tapping into memories of Marvel’s greatest moments.

Age of Ultron #1 kicked off with a world taken over by the Avengers greatest enemy and surviving heroes on the run or in hiding. After Age of Ultron #5 the survivors have divided with one team taking the fight to the human hating android and Wolverine going rogue.

One of the survivors is Black Widow but she’s paid a terrible price. Brian Michael Bendis tells Marvel.com there’s a story behind her scar.

“Not only do I have it in my head, but I have it all written out. I’ve laid it out. I’ve [written] all the stuff down and then decided it was unnecessary to the story I want to tell. I personally want to know why this happened and, literally, her escaping a fiery-Ultron death and losing an eye in the process. What you see is the end result.
