Tom, I think no one believes about Age of Ultron taking place in the actual Marvel U for two reasons: 1) we didn't see it happen. all of a sudden Ultron has taken over the world and we're supposed to just take that as fact? and 2) the lack of tie-ins. Sure we're getting the AU issues, but nothing screams THIS IS IMPORTANT AND HAPPENING like tie-ins do for normal events.
You do realize that this is the worst thing you can possibly say to me, right? For years, you guys have complained that there were too many tie-ins to our Events, and consequently at a certain point we began to scale things back–AVX had relatively few tie-ins and AGE OF ULTRON had even fewer. Now you’re telling me that without that enormous number of tie-ins you can’t believe that the Event story is important. So prepare yourself and get ready for a deluge of tie-ins for the next big storyline we do. And remember–you asked for it!
