Feb 28, 2013 : Age of Ultron #1, 25% off DC back issues T-Z, Superior Spider-Man #5, Geoff Johns’ Wrath of the First Lantern
Welcome back to the age of Ultron!
The age of Ultron has arrived:
For years the heroes of the Marvel Universe have lived in fear that the artificial intelligence known as Ultron would one day evolve to fulfill its desire to wipe out all organic life and take over the Earth — that day has arrived. This massive 10-part Marvel Universe-spanning event is brought to you by Brian Michael Bendis and Bryan Hitch. It all starts off with Age of Ultron #1, with a Midtown exclusive cover by J. Scott Campbell, as well as a bunch of others, by the likes of Mike Deodato, Marko Djurdjevic, and Skottie Young!
Forget Ultron; the Superior age is here!
Well…we can’t really forget Ultron (since he seems poised to decimate the Marvel Universe), but how many will have to die before the Superior Spider-Man will kill a super villain? It’s Spidey vs. Massacre, in Superior Spider-Man #5 by Midtown Pal Dan Slott, with art and cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli, with a variant cover by Mark Bagley! We still have a few copies of Superior Spider-Man #1 2nd Ptg and Amazing Spider-Man #700 2nd ptg signed by Dan Slott, and you can check out ALL Superior Spider-Man issues here! If you’re still not up to speed on how Doc Ock has become Superior Spider-Man, catch up with Spider-Man Dying Wish premium hardcover — this is the story that reveals all the secrets that have been seeded for the last three years, collecting Amazing Spider-Man #698-700.
