Previously in Age of Ultron #10 and #10 A.I.: Ultron, the sentient creation of Hank Pym, has come back to wipe out the human race. In a series of time traveling events by Wolverine and Sue Storm, Pym activates a code that shuts down Ultron and allowing the Avengers to destroy him once and hopefully for all. In wake of these events, Pym gets down and depressed about the meaning behind his existence. After realizing that he can make a difference, he brushes himself off and continues his work…on a Doombot!! The Age of Ultron is over, The Age of A.I. has begun!

!!! Spoiler Alert !!!

After day after the Age of Ultron ended it seems as if life will continue on as it always has. Wrong!! It seems that the code Pym wrote to disable Ultron has somehow evolved and spread. This A.I. has taken control of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s drone fleet, began random attacks, hacked several sensitive systems, and all the while advertizing the coming of a “Dimitrios”. After being interrogated by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Monica Chang, and intervention by Captain America, Pym agrees to help deal with this new A.I. threat with some A.I. of his own. Pym contacts the creation and son of Ultron, The Vision. On his way to Pym, Vision stops at a local arcade to pick up his younger brother, Victor Mancha, to join the team. Back at Pyms lab, they mee t their other teammate, Doombot. Pym has reprogrammed him to do good, but was unable to change the bots “attitude”. The three A.I. set out to neutralize the drones and save the good citizens at a hospital in Atlanta. In the last pages, the team discovers what the drones were after as they find a new character, probably future Age of A.I. teammate (Alexis), floating above a bed repeating the words, “Dimitrios is coming”.

Sam Humphries has penned the start of a great story in this new Age of A.I. Andre Lima Araujo is on the art station for this one with Frank D’Armata on colors. I liked the Age of Ultron and in turn like the characters and story of this Age of A.I. series and hope that it does well enough to keep for a minute or two. On a separate note, I am a huge fan of the Mega Man games. When I had seen the 8-bit Variant cover that paid homage to this series, I was immediately won over and had to have it. Avengers A.I. #2 should hit shelves August 2nd. Be sure to check out this and other great titles from Marvel Comics at your local comic shop!
