MIGHTY AVENGERS # 5
Written by Brian Michael Bendis

We waited through all these delays for this? For the fifth time in a row for this new Avengers title, Bendis throws more fluff and filler at us. Remember those awesome previews of Sentry losing it and Void-ing out on Ultron? Those couple pages are about all that happens in this disappointing issue.
While there are several funny or cool little moments throughout the issue, like the Commodore 64 line by Pym or the Sentry / Ultron "fight", the entire issue is basically filler. Ultron is still taking over the world's computers and trying to launch missiles. Iron Man is still "dead" and his body / armour taken over by Ultron. The team is still fighting the army of Iron Man armours. I didn't have to read the issue to see this though, it happened in issue 1, 2, 3 and 4. The. Same. Damn. Thing. Every. Issue. If I had the thought bubbles ever present in this book, it would be filled with words unfit for public consumption.
Oh ya, the one thing worth noting this issue? Bendis has apparently chosen to use the boring, cliched sci-fi deus ex machina of shrinking down Ares using Pym Particles and having him deliver a computer virus directly into Ultron. I kid you not. I've seen better fan fiction than this.
Verdict - Avoid It like the plague unless you are just looking for more Cho ass shots, in which case, you'll get a great Ms Marvel straddling a missile scene and more Ultron faux nudity.
