Two shit tastes that taste shit together - it’s Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies!
On Battleworld there’s a region called Perfection ruled over by the Ultrons and an area called the Deadlands filled with Marvel Zombies. They’re at war because whatever the hell. Enter Hank Pym from 1872 - why 1872? Uh… He’s got to save Jim Hammond, The Vision and Wonder Man’s town of Salvation from these two dingleberry forces somehow.
This one couldn’t have PRODUCT stamped over it enough. What was the point, what was James Robinson going for? No clue. No story, some half-hearted attempts at making the reader give a damn about the characters (they’re in looove, you must care about them noooow), and a beam of light gets shot up into the sky at the end like in almost every superhero movie. It has nothing to do with Secret Wars aside from taking place on Battleworld.
And how’s this for a plan as brain-dead as the Marvel Zombies: get the 19th century guy to somehow improve the tech he’s never even seen before, let alone understand, to somehow defeat the futuristic robots while the guys who created the tech don’t lift a finger to help! What?!
A better question than why are the Zombies and the Ultrons fighting would be why haven’t the Ultrons completely obliterated the Zombies? They seem to have no trouble whupping their dead hides all over the damn place - why bother allying with these losers? Bah. Because nonsense, that’s why! That’s why this whole mini-series!
Nobody tried on this one. They had a title, some space to fill and that was it. Utter garbage - the worst of the Secret Wars tie-ins and that’s saying something.

An actual Secret Wars crossover that feels like it was part of Secret Wars. Most of the crossovers just feel like "What If?" stories. Beyond the Wall in Battleworld exists the realms of Ultron and the Deadlands. Hidden within them is Sanctuary, a refuge for those thrown over the wall. This story follows the denizens of Sanctuary as they try to drive back the zombie hordes and Ultron clones for their very existence.

This was quite a sweet, heartfelt book... which is quite an accomplishment for a tale that features a small group of human (and superhuman) survivors desperately trying to remain so in between an army of murderous, indestructible robots and a seemingly endless horde of flesh-hungry zombies.
This is a kind of swan song and sign off for James Robinson's recent Invaders series, which I absolutely loved, so I couldn't help but get a kick out of this book. It also centres around Hank Pym, Jim Hammond, Simon Williams and the Vision; four of my favourite Marvel heroes; so it felt tailor made for me, in many ways.
My only real complaint was that it should have been six issues, not four. Not just because I was enjoying it so much, but because the story felt a little squashed, particularly towards the end.
Just like Robinson's Invaders run, now I come to think of it...

On Dr. Doom's Battleworld, Ultron and his army of robots battle the Marvel Zombies, while everybody (still alive) on the exile planet just struggle to stay alive. A handful of heroes have built a little oasis called Salvation, protected by Vision and two other superheroes I have never heard of. They "hijack" Hank Pym from an alternate universe to help create a defense system against Ultron and the zombies, but this Pym comes from a universe where the world hasn't advanced, technology-wise, since the late-1800s. Uh oh! Worse yet: Ultron and the Zombies are teaming up! Holy Crap!
Quick fun read but ultimately not as satisfying as previous MZ volumes. It seems with each succeeding volume, the writers are dragging the bottom of the barrel for ideas and superheroes. I swear to God, some of these heroes were just made up on the spot...

I seem to be in the minority, but I enjoyed this one. You have two wastelands, one full of zombies, the other full of evil robots. The two don't get along, and the only thing they hate more than each other are humans. Enter an old west Hank Pym, the original Human Torch, The Vision, and Wonder Man who fight on the side of good. However, when the zombies and robots join forces, we are faced with cyborg zombies. Not a good thing.
The ending was a little trite, but overall I thought this was another decent Secret Wars crossover. I went into Secret Wars with low expectations, but at this point the series has exceeded them.

January 26, 2016On one level, killer robots versus superpowered undead is as simple as concepts come. But this is also a comic which expects you to be familiar with the frankly ridiculous origin of the Vision. Worse, it expects you to accept that an inventor from 1872 wouldn't know any word which sounds remotely modern or science-y, even if it's something like 'artificial' which was already in widespread use by the 17th century. By some distance the worst Secret Wars tie-in I've read thus far.

I really hoped that this would have been better. The whole mix up was a bad idea and seemed like the creative team didn't know what else to do so this is the outcome.
December 29, 2015
I was kind of enjoying it until the part where the Vision is paired romantically with Agatha Harkness. I mean, ewww! That's like Tony Stark getting it on with Aunt May. Disgusting! Why? Agatha was his wife's mentor, her elder wise-woman. Super-freaking creepy. Who on Earth thought that was a good idea and then who echoed that enough for it to see print? *shakes head*

This was a bit of a mess, the ultron army and zombies mashed up to invade a sanctuary where heroes live happy with their families or soon to be families. Nice start but what a confusing thing this was.

Overall a very boring comic, it really didn't go anywhere. I personally don't like Hank Pym, but being as objective as i can this wasn't very interesting, I didn't really connect with the characters. The story-line between ultron and the zombies wasn't well developed and really had little to no purpose. mostly the comic was not ultron vs marvel zombies, it was both of them vs pym

Öncelikle bunun bir Battleworld hikayesini bilmekte fayda var. Secret Wars(2015) hikayesinin bir uzantısı diyebiliriz. Secret Wars'ta Dr. Doom tanrı kral olduktan sonra çeşitli bölgeler yaratmıştı. Bu da o bölgelerden biri. Biraz What if? havası olduğunu da belirtmeliyim.
Bu bölgenin bir tarafında Ultron, diğer tarafında kötülerden oluşan zombiler, ortada da hayatta kalmaya çalışan insanlar var. Vision, Wonder Man ve Jim Hammond da bu direnişe liderlik ediyor.
Hikaye güzel bir üçlü çatışma olabilecek potansiyele sahipken yazar ekip tamamen sığ bir hikaye yazmayı başarmış. Ultron ve zombiler işbirliğine gidiyor ve ultronlar ile zombiler birleşip melez bir yaşam formu oluyor. Bunları durdurmak için izlenen yol da ayrı bir hayal gücü eksikliği örneği. Her şeyin kaba kuvvetle bitmesine gerek yok ama bu kadar baştan savma bir son da olmamalıydı.

Considering this book features characters I don't really care about (Hank Pym, Vision, Wonder Man, Jim Hammond) I enjoyed the story enough.

Reprints Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies #1-4 and Age of Ultron #1 (May 2013-November 2015). The land beyond the walls of Doom’s Battleworld have a hierarchy of their own. The zombies control part of the lands while Annihilus controls another part. Keeping everything in check is an army of Ultrons that lives in the section called Perfection. There is another faction growing in the land…Salvation. Designed by Wonder Man, Vision, and Jim Hammond, Sanctuary provides a haven for those ejected from the wall. When Hank Pym of finds himself in Sanctuary, he learns that he could be the key to building a new world…but that it could also mean a sacrifice.
Written by James Robinson, Battleworld: Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies is a Marvel Comics Secret Wars spin-off title. Featuring art by Steve Pugh, the collection also contains Age of Ultron #1 written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Bryan Hitch.
I can’t say that I was particularly excited about Battleworld: Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies. Not only does it have one of the clunkiest titles, but it also focuses on two of Marvel’s least interesting storylines. Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies was kind as you expected.
I won’t say that the Marvel Zombies was all bad. The first book in the series was kind of fun, but I was already growing weary of zombies. I also didn’t mind the idea of the Marvel Zombies being in Battleworld and serving as kind of an outlander location though in general the idea of Secret Wars was a bit confusing with multiple versions of character inhabiting one world under Doom…sort of (Doom’s role only seems to affect some titles).
This book deals a bit with the duplicate issues. The Hank Pym banished beyond the wall isn’t the Hank Pym who created Ultron, but it plays with the idea of the “shared past” of the characters. It is something that was interesting about Secret Wars, but it feels like Secret Wars never truly explored. It feels like a treatise on reincarnation and predestination. The characters of the different worlds of Battleworld grew up different but all end on the same path. Things change but they never change much and that is where Secret Wars really could have explored new territory (along with the repetition of comic books and the worlds they inhabit).
Like a lot of the Secret Wars spin-off titles, I feel that the series doesn’t get enough room to establish itself. Marvel was asking a lot with all the titles and with four or five issues each in most runs, that was more than most collectors could designate for a one-off type story. As a result, a lot of these Battleworld and Warzones titles feel like test runs to test the water of fans…if a fan likes it, maybe it will continue. Unfortunately, this also means a lot of stories feel abrupt and incomplete like this title.
Battleworld: Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies really seems to lack an identity. The comic is an intentional mash-up (as the title implies), but I didn’t feel that Age of Ultron had enough impact on Marvel when it was released to be paired with Marvel Zombies…maybe Midnight Sons vs. Marvel Zombies would have been more interesting or inspired. If you are completionist check it out, but if not, you aren’t missing much.

Tytuł można by rzec, samograj. Marvel Zombies nie muszę przedstawiać, zresztą Ultrona też nie. Takie połączenie mogło być odżywcze. Niestety jest równie nieświeże jak gnijące tu truposze.
Świat po zmianach z Secret Wars, tzw. Świat Bitewny pozostający pod rządami Dooma, jako wszechwładnego hegemona. I pas ziemi niczyjej poza murem, gdzie przebywają największe mendy tego świata, a są tu zsyłani na de facto śmierć. Bo tu króluje Ultron w Perfekcji, gdzieś tam jest jeszcze Anihilus, ale tu mamy jeszcze całą hordę nieumarłych z nieświeżym Magneto na czele w tzw. Martwych Ziemiach.
Jeszcze jeszcze jedno stronnictwo, którym przewodzi m.in. Vision, którzy wyłapują skazanych na śmierć przez Dooma, a którzy błąkają się po tych przeklętych krainach. Osiedle "Zbawienie" oferuje niskie ceny najmu, tyle że otoczone jest istotami pragnącymi zjeść mózgi wynajmujących. Albo ich zdezintegrować. Ultron też w końcu ma swoje za uszami. Hmm. Za stykami.
Tyle, że fabularnie ten tie-in jest głupi. Ultron nienawidzi tych tzw. Nieperfekcyjnych, czyli gromi trupy, ale jest w stanie z nimi się zbratać i ruszyć na tych dobrych... W dodatku z nie wiadomo jakiej paki na scenie pojawia się Hank Pym z wieku XIX i to on ma być wybawieniem tych ludzi. Z nowoczesną technologią, której naukowiec dopiero widzi na oczy. I w ciągu dób ma to ogarnąć. Jasne... To przynajmniej będzie krwawo. I jest. Tyle i tylko tyle.
Całość na dodatek wygląda wcale nieźle. Zombiaki wyglądają "słodko", czyli tak jak powinny. Drażniły mnie niekiedy sceny walk na całe strony, bo to czysty chaos, ale całkiem niezły. Także mimo wad lubię ten tytuł nawet jeżeli te vs. w tytule jest tu dodane dla czystej zmyły.

This was actually pretty solid for the most part. I didn't expect much because it seems a bit like filler, but I was pleasantly surprised... until the last issue.
The book basically is about the area that most of the other Secret wars tie in books reference: the dead lands. They expand this a bit further by revealing there is an ultron section called "perfection" and an annihilus portion which is unnamed and for the most part, is not a part of this book besides a mention in the first book.
A version of Hank Pym, specifically the western version from the town of Timely, is sent to the dead lands because of smuggled adamantium. There he is rescued by Wonder man, the Vision, and the Human Torch (the original android version). They have built and established a sanctuary that is powered by Wonder Man's personal ionic energy.
Ultron joins forces with the Marvel Zombies to create a android zombie hybrid and they attack the sanctuary. Its not the most intricate of plots but it works.
My problem was that the ending is very rushed. We spend 3 issues ramping up the attack and for it to end in like, essentially 2 or 3 pages, was disappointing. I think if they would've had one more issue, it would've benefited the book greatly.
Overall, good not great.

This book could really have been the best of the Battleworld miniseries, but every idea is too cute, too flimsy, and too easily wrapped up. The Wild West Hank Pym speakin' like an' ol cowpoke, which is already grating, is made unbearable because he is the main character for most of this book. The presence of the Wild West Wasp is mostly extraneous after the first issue, and the town of Salvation, which is a very interesting idea, is vastly underexplored. The only characters given the time of day are the ones connected to the story's main characters. Maybe the worst part of the story is this ridiculous notion of Ultron combining his robots with - of all things - zombies. It cuts totally against his character and any perceived benefit is never made clear. The worst part of the book, unfortunately, isn't the subpar writing; it's that Steve Pugh has a hard time giving each character more than one facial expression.
October 28, 2016
A pretty good story to having the marvel zombies fight Ultrons. However, the title is misleading due to how 1) The Ultron in this story is not from the "Age of Ultron" storyline but rather a different timeline where he was able to succeed in his conquest that he begun in his first appearance. The second part of the title that is misleading is the "vs." portion, since the zombies and the Ultrons team up to eat the people that are in a safe zone that is discovered in the Deadlands Domain. The plot itself is good and provides a happy ending, which is rare for the Zombie line. A great read for any casual readers, especially for Halloween.
April 9, 2021
This isn't "Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies". This is "Hank Pym's family of screw-ups versus Age of Ultron and Marvel Zombies". Most of the time in this book is spent with characters talking about how they're going to fight the Ultrons and the Zombies, and there's maybe a few pages of actual "versus" happening but mostly it's just... some humans talking about fighting Ultrons and zombies. It's boring. Where's the fun? Why should we care about these characters? What makes them interesting? Nothing, tha's what!
At least Steve Pugh is a good artist so the book doesn't look as garbage as it sounds.

How did the author of Starman become one of the Worst Writers in comics?
This is unreadable garbage from the opening panel. Robinson doesn't trust his readers so he just bashes them over the head with cliches. A bunch of zombies track prey, and one of them says "It's every man for themselves." and then another says "Except we aren't men..." PANEL BREAK "...any more."
Shut up.
Every panel of this waste of paper is worse than the previous one. Don't waste your time on it. If you loved Age Of Ultron or Marvel Zombies or Starman, this book will make you question why.

Zombies versus robots, but Marvel. On Battleworld the Marvel Zombies, Ultron's army of robots, and the Annihilation swarm are all south of the wall. Which would make sense except for the fact that THEY CAN FLY!!! I get where ripping off Game of Thrones seems like a good idea on the surface, but maybe think it through?
Anyway... The story isn't actually about zombies versis robots, it's about a bunch of exiled heroes have created a habitat in this no man's land and have to fight to protect it. It's by James Robinson, so it manages to not be horrible, but it's not good either.

Did I need to read this? Probably not.
James Robinson was a really nice guy, when I met him at comic con, but it seems like none of his work has the magic he put into Starman.
Once I read the first issue of the book, and saw the set up, I knew how this one was going to play out. It could go either of two ways, the Zombie/Ultron bots infiltrate the sanctuary and kill everyone, or the heroes are able to stop them. I wish I could say there was suspense in finding out which pay they would take.

A very cool concept that wasn't fleshed out right. The title is misleading as while Ultron and the zombies are technically enemies, they instantly team up against surviving populace. I could easily understand why zombies would want this as the survivors are meat, the one thing they ceave. While Ultron wouldn't be happy about the survivors using his tech to preserve their "imperfection", the zombies are even more imperfect.
July 27, 2021
So, this was simply lackluster and unnecessary. Billed as Age Of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies, we get more of a Hank Pym that no one asked for. The relationships have no foundation, the plot is dumb and lazy, and the conclusion is weak. Steve Pugh does some really nice work on the art side, especially with the zombies but he couldn't save this dreadful book. Overall, a hot mess that could have been fun.
October 22, 2024
This was a fun and inconsequential book solely for nerds to geek out over, and that is exactly what I did. There are no true stakes within the book but boy does the action and situations the characters find themselves in make the book worth it. Don't get me wrong, it's all very stupid but fun and that's important. The resolve for between the Zombies and Ultron was very entertaining. I suggest reading this volume after the main Age of Ultron, Marvel Zombies and Secret Wars. Recommend. Grade: B+

This pastiche, part of the Summer replacement Battleworlds series of miniseries at mid-decade from Marvel, works. Especially if, like me, you are a fan of artist Steve Pugh and writer James Robinson, given license to do extended "What If" at brief tpb GN length.
Another happy ending for the Human Torch, let me add that, without too much of a spoiler.
Mildly recommended.

Cowboys. Robots. Zombies. Zombie Superheroes. Superhero Romance. Robot-zombies. Robot zombie super-villains.
This book tries to shoe-horn everything into this story, and it all falls apart at the end.
What happened James Robinson, you used to be cool?

Ut seemed like the author just didn't really care for Ultrons or Zombies.
So it winds up being a story of sacrifice about characters we don't really care about. Also a main character who we don't really care about.

This is an alternative universe style story. The humans are trying to survive Vs the zombies and Ultron. It's set during the latest secret wars but that knowledge isn't necessary to read this book.
There's some nice alternate time line stuff but it's all very light.
