West Coast Avengers #3

West Coast Avengers #3 gives us an explanation for multiple Ultrons (including others we haven’t yet seen) along with the first confrontation from the Ultron prophet and the West Coast Avengers featuring their own Ultron, bringing the two face-to-face. Other than the backstory which adds some context to the current situation, there’s not much of note in the issue as the confrontation ultimately is left unresolved.

West Coast Avengers #2

The second issue of West Coast Avengers features the team taking on some gun runners who turn out to be the Sovereign Sons led by Flag-Smasher. Spider-Woman gets a bit of a highlight here as the point woman with the others jumping in as the battle heats up. By putting a cruise ship at risk, our baddie manages to escape (after going toe-to-toe with the team without having to break a sweat). I’d expect to see Flag-Smasher again, although a new antagonist is revealed at the end of the issue.

West Coast Avengers #1

The new volume of West Coast Avengers introduces a team led by Tony Stark (wearing some classic, if underpowered, armor) including War Machine, Spider-Woman, Firestar, and a pair of former villains in the Ultron and the new character Blue Bolt (showcasing the idea for the team to try and reform villains and turn them into heroes using their powers for good). The result of the teams actions in the field, so far, are mixed. And as for Ultron… it seems the redeemed robot has a new hobby not likely to win over new friends.
