The Avengers' Last Stand Against Ultron?

I've always been a closet Avengers fan. I don't know what it is about them, but they seem to be one of the few supers teams that escaped the whole "dark Marvel" routine that swept through Comicdom back in the 1990s. They have always remained true to their superhero roots - but that's not to say they're Boy Scouts or anything, just that they never sank to the realm of vigilantism and have always remained larger-than-life supers. The interior work on this one looks pretty damned good, too!

This is an official Marvel press release:

Nuclear missiles have been launched, Iron Man is nowhere to be seen and the Sentry is mourning the loss of his wife. Oh yeah, Ultron’s back and it’s taken the form of Janet Pym so it can wreak havoc on the world! In Mighty Avengers #5, from the red-hot superstar creative team of writer Brian Bendis and artist Frank Cho, it’s the penultimate chapter of the team’s first mission…but is there any way to defeat a foe who just won’t stay down? Ares, former villain turned ally is Earth’s Newest Mightiest Hero, but he may just be their last hope!

Luke Handley of SilverBulletComicBooks.Com praised the series, exclaiming, “Bendis seems to effortlessly combine good old superheroics with his usual trademark banter.”

With the entire world at risk, the Mighty Avengers put it all on the line to stop the seemingly unstoppable Ultron and when the dust clears, the team will never be the same again! It’s all coming up in Mighty Avengers #5 as Earth’s Mightiest confronts Earth’s Deadliest!
