I didn't get Age of Ultron, but I asked people online if A.I worked stand alone and they said yes so I bought that. I didn't hear much positive about Age of Ultron itself though, apparently Ultron himself didn't show up till the very end. But I do know what happened and I'm looking forward to seeing the effects of time and dimensions being messy.
Yea it wasn't my "favorite" mini-series/event.. But I liked it nonetheless =]
And yes that is the truth, I won't get too in depth with it though, but basically you don't see the actual Ultron till the end, and it is "veryyyy" brief.. =p That is one thing that upset me a bit, but I still enjoyed it.. =]
And yea it did cause a lot of things, such as Galactus now being in the Ultimate Universe, and a new character, well an old character that is now back being in Guardians of the Galaxy comics now.. And it should effect many future events as well..
And I never took a picture of Uncanny Avengers 1-8 when I got it but yea xD
