Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

Mostly because Hank Pym showed up a couple months ago in Uncanny Avengers.   Pym's fate was shown in Rage of Ultron and I'm not going to spoil it, but I couldn't remember the exact details: the whys.   I wanted to get a handle on it, so Rage of Ultron again. 

I'd forgotten how much familial issues this dealt with: is the son what the father wants, or just a reflection of Pym himself?   Vision is clearly not who Ultron wanted him to be, but we're dealing with three generations, all literally in one fight.   The mini-schisms between each of them combined with the larger statement about family makes this a compelling read.   I said it before, but the family issues that Vision has is complex, but can also be heady stuff if done properly. 

Remender plays this all perfectly, combining a story of superheroes and super villains - all action and machismo - with a plot about how this broken family works against each other. It's amazing how much is put into a work so short, and how well it works. 

I still love this.   I still think this is a five star read.   The art is lush and painterly, and the writing is top notch.   More angst than humor, but it all works towards an ending that I didn't see coming, but felt like I should have because it was somewhat inevitable.   

This is one of my favorites.  I see myself rereading it quite a bit.
