Avengers A.I. #2
Avengers A.I. #2 continues a short while after the end of the
previous issue. The Avengers A.I. team
is trying to figure out the origin of a new android (for lack of a better
category term other than robot) named Alexis.
The Vision as usual is being his logical best, Doombot still thinks it
is Doctor Doom and acting like it, Victor Mancha is uncertain about his place
in the team and Hank Pym is acting cool.
It turns out that the new villain Dimitrios is another A.I. that has
taken over an old fully automated Iron Man armor and is trying to wage war on
humanity. He hijacks a Sentinel to
attack Washington D.C. the attack fails of course, but not before giving
Doombot a couple of fun lines before it loses its head in the fight; though it
appears that the true plan of Dimitrios was actually to gain control of the
Vision or at least access to his communication network making his monolog
available to the entire world to view.
The monologue goes on and on for pages and could have been copied from
any one of Magneto’s rants about mutants replacing humans. But in this case replace mutant with A.I. and
other mechanical / electrical based creatures taking over the world. In other words just a bit of the same old
same old in the Marvel Comics Universe.
But I must say the dialogue was good and the story was interesting. Good stuff.
