Avengers Assemble #15AU (Age of Ultron)!!!

Avengers Assemble #15AU (Age of Ultron) was interesting but in the end it felt more like a checklist or inventory of what happened to the super powered people in the United Kingdom – especially in London.  I enjoyed the Doctor Who reference coming from the Ultrons arguing with a civilian.  We had Captain Britain, Excalibur, the Black Knight, a second rate Hero called Computer Graham and a young lady with magic soccer shoes.   After introducing all the players the Heroes except for the Black Knight and Excalibur head off to fight Ultron.  It turns out that Computer Graham’s power is to interface with computer games and Captain Marvel and Captain Britain and the kid fight to get Graham close to Ultron.  They hope Graham’s power will help them defeat Ultron.  But they manage to only shut down an Ultron node while getting everyone killed.  It was rather a downer and while I am sure the creative group was hoping for some “triumph of the human spirit” feel, but all we really got was all the fighting heroes died.   These were the heroes that could hold off Ultron and gather not just survivors but supplies to keep the survivors alive.
