Finished reading Avengers: Rage of Ultron, writer Rick Remender brings together another one of Marvel's Original Graphic Novels which brings Ultron back into the limelight that coincided with the release of Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron film. The book opens up years in the past with the Avengers of the time dealing with Ultron in the middle of Manhattan which leads to the Avengers being victorious when Yellowjacket lures Ultron into a trap with Hawkeye using an arrow to stick him onto an upgraded version of a Quinjet that blasts Ultron into space. In present day Ultron crash lands the Quinjet onto Titan and quickly takes over Titan's technology and assimilates the moon along with its population with former Avenger Starfox being lucky enough to escape Titan and find the Avengers on Earth only for Vision to realise that Ultron followed by bringing Titan to Earth. Overall this was a great book as it not only delivers on the action but the drama as well as writer Rick Remender plays with the weird family dynamic of Ultron, Hank Pym and Vision along with the relationship Hank has with is ex-wife Janet. The action is stunning and is very edge of the seat thanks to the inclusion of the amount of drama that has weaved into the book. The artwork is great as it transitions between artists Jerome Opeña and Pepe Larraz in a very intriguing way as its not only surprising but also works incredibly well within the context of the story which is also the same for their art styles. 8/10.
