Not bad at all but why ultron? he is a lame bad guy. - By: genejoke, 04 Jun 2008 
That said the threat needed to be big & known to suit the purposes of the story. Ultron is handled well despite being a weak villain & overused in the past.
The new avengers squad is interesting & the way they are choosen is well thought out. Ares is a great addition to the line up, having some great lines & filling a vital role in the team.
The art is very good but not spectacular, unless you like letching at the sexy laadies frank cho draws so well. The highlight is the script, bendis makes great use of thought bubbles, a tool rarely used in comics these days.
High and Mighty? - By: Rudin Filaro, 27 Apr 2008 
Thor. Hulk. Scarlet Witch. Captain America. Legendary Avengers in their own right, & part of THE perennial Marvel Super-Team.
How times change. Hulk exiled, Thor missing, Captain America dead, with Iron Man the victor of the Civil War.
Which segues into the debut of alll new, government sanctioned Avengers line-up; the Mighty Avengers.
A mixed roster - Iron Man, Ms Marvel, controversial character Sentry, Wonderman, Black Widow, Wasp, & of course, the anti-hero type, war God Ares.
With a new spin on the classic Avengers format, it is only fair to revamp a classic Avengers villain, in this case it is Ultron who gets the "new & improved" shtick.
This series of comics (Issues 1-6) was horribly delayed, & as a result, an arc that occurs in the space of several hours comic time, took the best part of 6 months to play itself out. The series lost many fans as a result.
As a hardback novel, collecting the arc, it reads exquisitely - a veritable roller coaster tour de force, with utterly sumptuous artwork by Frank Cho, & Bendis's usual flair for internal/external monologue segues.
This isn't the old Avengers, or even the New Avengers, this is Iron Man's dream team, & one reallly does get that first day at school feel with the characters as they awkwardly try to work together & gel in time to stop the monstrous Ultron from completing its task.
All in alll, a great read (finallly!), with superb artwork, interesting & significant character development with wider reaching consequences across the Marvel Universe, & an ideal place to begin the run up to Marvel's premier 2008 event; the Secret Invasion.
