Look at the MIGHTY AVENGERS #6 preview for example. That preview, in its limited pages, contained not one but two laugh-out-loud errors: Pym describing a computer virus that couldn’t possibly run, because Ultron wouldn’t recognize it as a virus (software incompatibility), and Pym misusing the term “reverse engineering,” apparently because Bendis wanted Pym to say that he was going to reverse Stark’s alterations and didn’t know that “reverse engineer” was a term in the dictionary. Given the level of ignorance displayed by Bendis and Brevoort, why should readers think that Bendis can, for example, come up with a method of identifying Skrulls that makes sense, or devise a plot that’s worth paying money for?

This has been a great series so far. And the Ultron reveal blew me away! He has always been 1 of my favorite villains since I was a kid. He was in the 1st story arc of The Avengers that I picked that started me collecting. That Conquest cover looks freakin sweet! This has been a great series so far. And the Ultron reveal blew me away!
