COMICS: First Look At AGE OF ULTRON VS. MARVEL ZOMBIES
One of the stranger new "Battleworld" titles spinning out of Marvel's Secret Wars event will be this new ongoing series from writer James Robinson and artist Steve Pugh, which will see The Vision, Wonder Man, and Jim Hammond taking on all manner of nasties.
This one looks... interesting. Age Of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies #1 goes on sale June 3, and will see The Vision, Wonder Man, original Human Torch Jim Hammond and another mystery character (I think it might be Tigra) exiled to a world overrun with Ultron's armies and the undead versions of the Marvel roster. “Getting sent to this No Man’s Land means you’ve done something wrong in Battleworld,” editor Mark Paniccia explains to Entertainment Weekly. “It’s equivalent to having to walk the plank over shark-infested waters. In this story you’ll see someone who is deemed a criminal sentenced to this very dangerous territory—a character I can’t mention—but is a really cool twist that James came up with.”
But just because both armies are trying to wipe out the heroes doesn't mean they're working together. “They war for whatever humanity they can find, with Ultron wishing to either control it or kill it and the zombies wanting to eat it. They’re definitely at war," says writer James Robinson. Here's our first unlettered preview of the series, and you can find out some more about it at the link below.
