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

“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.”
