About the author
Kurt Busiek
1,858 books627 followersKurt Busiek is an American comic book writer notable for his work on the Marvels limited series, his own title Astro City, and his four-year run on Avengers.
Busiek did not read comics as a youngster, as his parents disapproved of them. He began to read them regularly around the age of 14, when he picked up a copy of Daredevil #120. This was the first part of a continuity-heavy four-part story arc; Busiek was drawn to the copious history and cross-connections with other series. Throughout high school and college, he and future writer Scott McCloud practiced making comics. During this time, Busiek also had many letters published in comic book letter columns, and originated the theory that the Phoenix was a separate being who had impersonated Jean Grey, and that therefore Grey had not died—a premise which made its way from freelancer to freelancer, and which was eventually used in the comics.
During the last semester of his senior year, Busiek submitted some sample scripts to editor Dick Giordano at DC Comics. None of them sold, but they did get him invitations to pitch other material to DC editors, which led to his first professional work, a back-up story in Green Lantern #162 (Mar. 1983).
Busiek has worked on a number of different titles in his career, including Arrowsmith, The Avengers, Icon, Iron Man, The Liberty Project, Ninjak, The Power Company, Red Tornado, Shockrockets, Superman: Secret Identity, Thunderbolts, Untold Tales of Spider-Man, JLA, and the award-winning Marvels and the Homage Comics title Kurt Busiek's Astro City.
In 1997, Busiek began a stint as writer of Avengers alongside artist George Pérez. Pérez departed from the series in 2000, but Busiek continued as writer for two more years, collaborating with artists Alan Davis, Kieron Dwyer and others. Busiek's tenure culminated with the "Kang Dynasty" storyline. In 2003, Busiek re-teamed with Perez to create the JLA/Avengers limited series.
In 2003, Busiek began a new Conan series for Dark Horse Comics, which he wrote for four years.
In December 2005 Busiek signed a two-year exclusive contract with DC Comics. During DC's Infinite Crisis event, he teamed with Geoff Johns on a "One Year Later" eight-part story arc (called Up, Up and Away) that encompassed both Superman titles. In addition, he began writing the DC title Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis from issues 40-49. Busiek was the writer of Superman for two years, before followed by James Robinson starting from Superman #677. Busiek wrote a 52-issue weekly DC miniseries called Trinity, starring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Each issue (except for issue #1) featured a 12-page main story by Busiek, with art by Mark Bagley, and a ten-page backup story co-written by Busiek and Fabian Nicieza, with art from various artists, including Tom Derenick, Mike Norton and Scott McDaniel.
Busiek's work has won him numerous awards in the comics industry, including the Harvey Award for Best Writer in 1998 and the Eisner Award for Best Writer in 1999. In 1994, with Marvels, he won Best Finite Series/Limited Series Eisner Award and the Best Continuing or Limited Series Harvey Award; as well as the Harvey Award for Best Single Issue or Story (for Marvels #4) in 1995. In 1996, with Astro City, Busiek won both the Eisner and Harvey awards for Best New Series. He won the Best Single Issue/Single Story Eisner three years in a row from 1996–1998, as well as in 2004. Busiek won the Best Continuing Series Eisner Award in 1997–1998, as well as the Best Serialized Story award in 1998. In addition, Astro City was awarded the 1996 Best Single Issue or Story Harvey Award, and the 1998 Harvey Award for Best Continuing or Limited Series.
Busiek was given the 1998 and 1999 Comics Buyer's Guide Awards for Favorite Writer, with additional nominations in 1997 and every year from 2000 to 2004. He has also received numerous Squiddy Awards, having been selected as favorite writer four years in a row from 1995 to 1998,

Ultron returns, wiping out a small country in Eastern Europe. Now it's up the Avengers to finally put a stop to him. (Well, until another writer wants to use him again.) George Perez's art is still incredibly detailed. Busiek's writing reminds me of Bronze Age Avengers. It's wordy but it works for the Avengers.

I see this is very highly rated and am not sure why. It is not bad but it somehow seems dated though it is from 1999. Ultron is a good villain and the story does have some interesting parts but the dialogue seems campy (I agree with one reviewer who stated it has a silver-age feel-but I don't see that as a compliment). The solution to the fight as well as some of the new Warrior Avengers are underwhelming. The artwork is good but the UN team made up of Russia,India, the US, France and Israel was ummmm *sigh* do people who write comic boks even know how the real world works? Makes me wonder sometimes. Again this is not a bad comic just not something that is mind blowing..its just "ok" and thus deserving of only two stars.

It’s a short, fun adventure.
The consequences are pretty severe (a whole country gets wiped out), but for some reason, it doesn’t seem to weigh on the characters as much as I’d have expected. Busiek’s plot is interesting and well constructed, and much of the dialogue is engaging and worthy of the players.
The art left something to be desired. It seemed rushed, jumbled and not as epic as a story of this magnitude should have been.
I think this is a good story and it’s definitely worth reading (especially since it provides most of the source material for the movie Age of Ultron), but it has too many nagging flaws to be great, or even really good.

George Perez is the best of this comic.

Ultron Unlimited (finished 2017-06-17, three stars)
Sims and Wilson, you dirty glorifying the memories of youth yet again eh?
For once, in my comics reading career, the recap issue is neither unwarranted nor grating. (Catching up on all of the nitty-gritty 90's Avengers minutia works that way, for someone who conveniently skipped over all of it.)
Scarlet Witch no longer married to Vision? Firestar journeyed from cartoons to floppies? Cap, Thor and Iron Man were part of the team before Bendis and Ultimates made that a thing again?
How's about "Cap wields a Photonic energy shield - that transforms into a lame stick when he needs another kind of weapon"? It's like Cap already had a two-handed sword and decided he needed to carry around a pike before he'd be considered for the tank row in my D&D party. That's just encumbrance without combat benefit.
Wait - even better, check out Scarlet Witch's Jennifer Beals cosplay - this looks like the outfit you'll see marketed on Halloween as "slutty gypsy":
Man, if this isn't the most George Perez shot in the history of post-Crisis Perez drawings...
Followed by this one:
The thing is...I am beginning to wonder at the copious amount of catch-up-the-reader-itis that seems to have infected this book. The "0" issue I can understand - I'm guessing this was a big relaunch with a new superstar team - but I'd guess that a fair quarter of the pages in the rest of the issues are just rehashing old plots, not nearly succinctly enough to get away with "it's there to deepen the story's meaning and impact".
Feels a whole lot more like "writer's looking for a quick way to fill pages without actually coming up with any interesting dialogue or plot points". Y'know? It's pretty terrible. I just don't give that much of a shit, even twenty years later - what must contemporary readers have thought? The funny books *must* have graduated from that Silver Age trope by then, no?
Funniest thing about this book? Someone honoured the Canadian subtext:
(who knew Ultron was raised in Ontario?)
Next best? A little Batman '66 throwback:
TL;DR Don't trust someone else's memories of how great an old comics story is. They're lying to you and themselves. NOT the most amazing Ultron-related comic book in existence.

This collection contains the very first Avengers comic ever as well as a collection of five Ultron Unlimited comics.
The first comic almost felt cringy, because the story and the dialogues were so simple and the drawings weren’t special either.
The Ultron Unlimited comics I enjoyed far more, even though the storyline was still way worse than I’d expect from a regular book. But I do have to say that I did like the artwork a lot!
2.5/5

I...am glad this book is over. I am glad that I have increased my comics canon knowledge of Ultron, and also I am glad that there's no more of this story to read. There's just so much of it to be telling so little. It's so heavily, melodramatically, and literally narrated, I wonder if Busiek even knew the final product would have pictures.

A mixed bag, this contains the first ever Avengers comic along with the five comics telling Ultron Unlimited. The first comic is pretty dated, and whilst is surely a classic, is hard to really recommend on its own. It is old, covers very little territory, and has nothing particularly of note. There isn't even any spectacular fusing of the Avengers, they work together (kind of) and then decide to team up, that's it. Moving on, Ultron Unlimited is the bulk of this and better. At the start it introduces a lot of characters, which coming to this predominantly from the films was very jarring. It was fine, especially at the end, but there was a lot of focus on less familiar Avengers, especially at the beginning. The actual storyline is pretty good and the artwork is pretty nice, if slightly monochromatic and washed out at times, but the pacing seemed way off. Each individual comic seemed to be recap at the beginning, filler in the middle, and then at the end had a climactic showdown. The other issue that a lot of the threat seemed to suffer from 'the Kryptonite Effect' as I like to call it. Either the villains are unstoppable, or had some crucial weakness which could be exploited, with very little inbetween. This graphic novel is probably 2.5 stars, but I bumped it up because the final comic at the end was worth all of the slow buildup at the beginning.

Ultron is one of my all time favorite comic characters, and i didnt have much with him in it yet so i got this, and it was worth it! The story is awesome, art is pretty good to, and plenty of action. In all the story arc consists of 4 issues, starring: iron man, captain america, scarlett witch, vision, wonderman, ant man, wasp, black panther, and of course ultron. The first half is mostly setting up the story and events, while the second half is mostly the conclusion and fight with ultron, if your an ultron fan like myself i would highly recommend ultron unlimited.

(This review may contain spoilers).
Since watching Thor, I've become quite interested in Marvel Super Heroes, so when I saw this set of graphic novels, I decided I really wanted to read the first one - but not only could I not remember what the collection was called, it was impossible to find the first edition in any of the shops I went in.
I did eventually track the collection down online and subscribed to it. I found this book to be a really interesting read - and it was really informative to see one of the older comics and then the later ones, so I could see how the graphics and so on developed through the years.
Although all of the comics contained within this book were within an already-established universe, they were easy to follow. I found it quite interesting that, although the characters were super heroes, they still had 'real' problems to deal with - and they weren't all-powered, facing realistic foes that were difficult to beat.
I also liked the fact that this book had information about the history of the Avengers and the different members that made up the team in various time frames. However, there were a number of duplicate pages after the comics themselves had ended.
This has definitely made me want to read more of the comic books. I definitely plan to keep reading this collection of graphic novels.

Hachette’s follow up collection to their Ultimate Graphic Novel line (which is still going!) is one which pairs origin stories or heroes and teams of heroes with a more modern tale. First up is The Avengers, which combines their origin story with Ultron Unlimited. The 60s origin story is, by modern standards, primitive and perhaps nonsensical at times, but retains the primal energy of the days when Ditko, Kirby and Lee were revolutionising superhero comics. As I’m a sucker for Ultron I loved the modern tale, which explores Ultron’s capabilities and just how bloody terrifying he’d be as he annihilates a country’s population and (Surprise!) gives the Avengers a beating or two. With Ultron's near invincibility the resolution can’t help but disappoint, however the ride to the end is a fun one.

Kurt Busiek e George Perez sono a mio avviso la miglior coppia sceneggiatore-disegnatore attualmente viventi. Questo albo raccoglie una delle loro migliori saghe, quella a mio avviso definitiva su Ultron, una delle minacce maggiore mai create in un fumetto. Altro che quella schifezza di Age of Ultron edita di recente anche da noi. Se volete sapere tutto di Ultron, del suo creatore, del concetto di famiglia e della sete di dominio evoluzione e sterminio di una intelligenza artificiale veramente paurosa, sono queste le storie che dovete leggere.

Ultron is one foe that really needs everyone to step up and kick some metal and this really does show that, however within all the harshness of the Avengers battling a seemingly losing battle it is written with such aplomb that you feel the mighty hearts forcing themselves to keep fighting, but also the torment and anger aimed at himself, you really feel the strain of Hank Pym as being the creator of Ultron originally he blames himself for everything.

Komiksy sice moc nečtu, ale Avengers byly fajn. Především jsem ocenila přítomnost Lokiho, Wandy, Visiona a Iron Mana. A zalíbila se mi i Firestar s Justicem, i když jsem o nich nikdy před tím neslyšela.

Avengers Ultron Unlimited, por Kurt Busiek y George Perez, calificación 3 /5 estrellas.
Es mi segunda lectura de este arco de Avengers, Kurt Busiek satura con demasiado texto, hace al lector gastar su tiempo leyendo innecesariamente algunas cosas de sobra en vez de gastar tu tiempo de su vida en otra cosas más importante como pasar ese tiempo con tus familiares adultos mayores o mascotas ya muy viejas.
En esta historia hay mucho periodistas, noticieros, entrevistas y relaciones públicas, pero ¿donde esta la acción? Debió haber menos periodistas.
No debieron estar en los Avengers Justice y Firestar nadie los recuerda en estea época. George Perez dibuja las naricez respigadas como por rinoplastia de Janet Van Dyne The Wasp y Thor Odison que parece un tonto sobredesarrollado.
La alineación que me gustaba era Scarlet Witch, Wasp, Hank Pym, Vision, Wonder Man e Iron Man como están escritos en Avengers West coast de John Byrne. Se podía hacer más con estos personajes triangulo amorosos, vínculos familiares. Sus villanos Ultron y Grim Reaper.
Busiek usa muchos recuerdos como relleno para completar el issue, esto es muy de la vieja escuela.
Los Dibujos de Perez eran anticuados para la época, muchas páginas recordando flashback. A este sujeto Busiek le gusta muchos los globos de diálogo para narrar lo que esta ya dibujado.
A Kurt Busiek le fascina la propaganda intervencionista militar de los Estados Unidos de América y la onu, debió dar su postura de la usurpación judía en Palestina desde 1947.
Parece ser propaganda de gobierno paranoico, los americanos que usan como motivo inculcar a sus niños en su mentes infantiles el patriotismo exagerado y la idea de elistarse para morir o tener secuelas físicas y mentales, pero en las intervenciones nunca van los hijos de los presidentes o políticos o ricos. La guerra es un negocio que levanta su economía en su sistema capitalista que enriquece a unos pocos.
Hasta ahora la parte tres fue la mejor. A Wizard Magazine le pagaron probablemente para hacer campaña para Avengers de Kurt Busiek en esa época, por que no era la gran cosa realmente.

Nota 6,75.
Eu tô sendo levemente generoso com a nota pq a segunda metade é uma ação muito bem feita.
A primeira metade algumas coisas importantes acontecem, porém com a velocidade de uma lambreta. Gosto da destruição em larga escala que o Ultron faz, tbm o foco final no Hank Pym é legal. As lutas em equipe eu diria que são o principal, muito pelos desenhos vibrantes que acompanha. Agora os diálogos extremamente expositivos, alguns desenhos ininteligíveis, melodrama barato e texto exorbitante deixa muito a desejar. Se fosse uma história dos anos 70 eu deixava passar, mas pleno anos 99, começo dos anos 2000 isso nos Quadrinhos já é demais.
Enfim, um arco bacaninha com um plot decente e uma porradaria franca bem-vinda. Mas que é puxada por um roteiro focado nos exageros de texto q eram ultrapassados até pra época.

I’ve already said elsewhere that Busiek’s Avengers run seems very dated for those who didn’t experience it at the time, with the dialogue and general storylines feeling more like they came from the 1970s than the late 1990s. They’re not even remotely close to some of the DC storylines around that time.
This story is the best part of this run up to this point, and probably remains so until the Kang Dynasty storyline. Yes, it still feels dated, particularly in the way that Ultron speaks, but it’s not as bad in that regard as the first portion of the run, and the actual plot is a clear step up. It’s probably 2.5 stars rather than 3 stars, but I’ll give it 3 stars just to differentiate from the parts of the run that came before this.

Forse una delle storie più cupe dei Vendicatori, in cui si assiste al ritorno di Ultron, che ha raso al suolo una piccola nazione est-europea, sterminandone la popolazione (e la gente pensa che l'Universo Marvel sia più family-friendly e meno lugubre di quello DC?): i Vendicatori dovranno tenere fede al proprio nome, mentre l'androide sta per portare a compimenti l'ennesimo suo nefando progetto.
Una storia davvero ben realizzata nonostante si sviluppi attraverso un numero tutto sommato contenuto di episodi. Se vi è rimasto un po' di amaro in bocca da Age of Ultron (incredibile come la frase possa applicarsi tanto al film quanto alla serie), allora Ultron Unlimited fa al caso vostro.
Ah, e anche se volete vedere Hank Pym togliersi, finalmente, una grossa soddisfazione.

Reseña de la versión en formato revista prestige de ovni press.
A pesar de ser un producto de su época, el arte de Pérez eleva este cómic a un nivel por encima.de sus contemporaneos. Busiek cuenta rápidamente esta historia en cuatro capítulos con una visceralidad que no recuerdo en otro cómic de avengers de ese tiempo (mucho menos, vale la.pena repetir, con la calidad gráfica de Pérez). Y aunque lectores modernos la puedan sentir ligera, es un buen ejercicio de la forma, tan valioso que elementos de su historia fueron usados en la segunda entrega cinematográfica de los vengadores.

My personal favorite Ultron story is right here. The dream team of Kurt Busiek writing and George Perez on art make for a fantastic Avengers story. The partial inspiration for the climax of “Age of Ultron” in the movies, the comics tale a much darker take on it as Ultron slaughters an entire small European nation and takes over it with his army of himself. And only The Avengers can stop him.

Kurt Busiek is one of my favorite writers and I am so disappointed. There's basically no story here but, at the same time, the entire comic is full of info-dump in every single page. I don't even know how it can be possible...
Ah, yes, everything ends with a deus ex machina. Of course.
Do yourself a favor, forget the Avengers and read Astro City.

It's pretty decent. I really love the 90s Avengers, from the art style to the dumbass costumes to Cap's energy shield. I'm rating this lower because my copy contained "The Ultron Imperative" too and that story sucked.
