Or – “Weekly Books Make Everything A Blur…”
Marvel’s current publishing strategy isn’t one that every company can pull off, but it’s one they’ve had success with since the 80s: Put out as much product as you can, as quickly as you can. With Hickman’s Avengers, it’s been pretty successful. With Age of Ultron, well…

Ultron, a deadly sentient robot created by founding Avenger Hank Pym who turned on his creator to achieve his twisted objective…the utter destruction of humanity. Now that Ultron has conquered, enslaving most of the world’s Super Heroes, it’s up to a small group of resistance fighters—including Invisible Woman, Taskmaster, Beast, Emma Frost, She-Hulk, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Moon Knight—to find a way overcome darkness and bring hope back a world that has suddenly lost everything. Once this landmark ten-issue event concludes, the reverberations will be felt in every corner of the Marvel Universe, leaving no hero or villain unscathed.
