I am going to assume that you have either read Age of Ultron #10, or have heard all of the spoilers out there. Since it has been 24 hours since the comic has come out, I guess it is time for me to talk about where Marvel can go NOW with the revelation of the space time continuum being borked by the characters in the story.
Age of Ultron #10
Interesting Note
We should start out by pointing out how Age of Ultron #10 gives us a moment when we realize that all of the universes in the Marvel Megaverse are crossing. We have Earth 616’s Galactus apparently in the Ultimate Universe, we have Angela zooming around the galaxy, and we have characters having visions of other characters from throughout the megaverse. This grand-scale crossover means almost anything can happen over the next few months.
Another Interesting Note
At least Marvel had the gumption to realize that the story it created in Age of Ultron should have negative ramifications other than simply changing a few characters here and there. Not only will the characters have to deal with all the changes, they are going to have to figure out how to fix the problem so that it does not happen again.
Yet One More Interesting Note on Age of Ultron #10
Can anyone think of a major crossover which potentially dealt with every universe in the Marvel Megaverse at the same time?
Dead No More?
One aspect I would love to see is for characters to reappear who have been presumed dead for a long time. While I am not expecting Uncle Ben (as bringing him back is a sacrilege), there are many other characters who have died over the years who could be brought back. Abomination, Baron Mordo, Baron Zemo, Cheetah, Maggot, Nightcrawler, Professor X, Peter Parker, and Wraith are just a handful of characters I would love to see brought back to life now that time and space are so screwed up after Age of Ultron #10.
The Grand Swap
We have seen Galactus head over to the Ultimate Universe so what is to say that there will not be more swaps in the near future? How about sending Zombie Hulk or Zombie Spider-man into the normal universe? Age of Ultron #10 opens the door for almost any character from another universe to be sent into any other. Marvel can play this one up very will with a swap month which could send the megaverse on its ear.
Send Someone Somewhere?
After Age of Ultron #10, Marvel could take a character with mediocre sales and send them to another time or place. The story could follow the character (or even a small team of characters) as they try to figure out a way home from the strange world they are now part of.
Please Don’t
Please Marvel, don’t simply allow the Scarlet Witch or Doctor Strange to will reality back to normal. This is too easy of a trick that most of us would not be happy seeing. Age of Ultron #10 should be harder to overcome than with a simple wish.
