Most books only let them hold the upper hand for like an issue or two but the Apocalypse twins actually blew up the planet and their plan was going off without a hitch for a while.

Rage of Ultron was the better Avengers story Remender wrote. Just in time for the movie giving Ultron a popularity boost we got this graphic novel that terrifically gave us a new angle on the Hank/Ultron dynamic. The focus on Hank's failures and the shift from a father-son relationship to a mirror one made a ton of sense. The other Avengers were more background noise, except for Vision who actually had a role, but they still got their nice moments to show off.

Yes that was by far the best part of UA, I truly believed that the mutants were going to be transported off planet for good. In regards to the heroes though, it seemed like Remender pulled a Bendis and changed everything to his liking. At least he made Sunfire's AOA look a canon 616 costume!

Ah yes, Rage of Ultron was a delight to read (and you can't say no to some Jerome Opena artwork). Has Hank Pym been seen in the MU since his.. uh.. metamorphosis?
