Me Geek, You Geek

Take your pick of titles for this post, I couldn't decide on either one.

So I just got around to reading The Mighty Avengers #2.  My review?  C+.  Nothing special and the continued usage of the thought bubble is really starting to annoy me.  The distraction from the story is too intense.

So apparently there's a new Ultron, one that looks like the Wasp.  One that is naked.  And one that looks nothing like the Ultrons that have come before.  Here a just a couple of glimpses at the new Ultron.

And for the real money shot...

Okay, so I ask you this.  How did this Ultron come to be?  I think it went something like this at a Marvel Writers Summit...

BENDIS: I'd really like to bring Ultron back.  That would be cool.

QUESADA: Whatever you say Brian.

BENDIS: Let's do another Avengers series.

QUESADA: Whatever you say Brian.

BENDIS: I'd like to make Ultron really tough.

QUESADA: Whatever you say Brian.

BENDIS: Who are we looking at to do the art?

QUESADA:  We're looking for series for Frank Cho to do.

BENDIS: Cho?  Really?  Okay, I've got it!  Ultron will be a naked chick! 

QUESADA: Whatever you say Brian.

Now, I'm not above some T&A in my comics, but in an Avengers book?  This much of it?  Frank Cho draws a mean woman, I grant you that.  But do we need that many money shots in one issue?  Captain America is rolling over in his grave.

Also, how do you think the "cloud censors" are determined?  I mean, is there a limit on the number of non-nippled breasts that can be in a book before the "cloud censors" come out?

I don't know, the whole thing has got me confused.
