Hank Pym/Ultron continues to fight the Avengers and they can't tell if he's more man or machine. Deadpool's shot at the end of the previous issue turns out to be a warning, and he pays for it dearly, stabbed through the chest and infested with nanobots. Vision then arrives, delivering crushing blow after blow to Ultron and initiating an unknown directive - Project Icarus. Somewhere in space, Captain Marvel gets his message and she launches Icarus to Vision's position. Whatever it is, its heading Ultron's way.
Wasp gets an urgent call from Cable, asking her to bring the EMP device to save Deadpool's life. She orders Vision to get Ultron as close to where they are as possible. He does his best, with Quicksilver and Rogue getting taken out in the process. All the while, Hank and Ultron's voices are talking back and forth, clearly confusing the Avengers as to whether they're killing the machine or killing Hank. Cable rips the machine out of Deadpool while Hank accuses the Avengers of leaving him to die in space. All the while, Vision attempts to hold Ultron in the landing zone until Icarus finally arrives - The Hulkbuster smashes into him from orbit, and with that, the issue is left to be continued.
This has got to be the most fun Avengers squad there is. Plus with all the X-Men they incorporate, this really might be the best Marvel team-up title going right now. What a story. I mentioned in a previous review about how the X-Men keep retreading Apocalypse.. In complete contrast, Ultron always seems fresh to me. Good to see him still alive and I can't wait to see where this ends up. I give this issue a 10/10.
