Tom, I have to ask this, and I hope you'll answer it as honestly as possible. How important is Age of Ultron to the the coming years of Marvel stories? I've heard nothing but bad things about the book, and would honestly like to avoid spending SEVENTY-FIVE dollars on a book I probably won't enjoy. BUT I also don't want to be missing out on what could potentially be a major part of the Marvel U. So was it mostly important for what happened with Galactus and Angela, or is there more to it?
I think that if the only reason you’re reading a story is because it “might be important” to other stories in the months and years to come, then you’re doing it wrong. You should follow anything that interests you, and not feel beholden to read something that doesn’t appeal to you out of some fear of being out-of-step. Plus, just about everything gets collected these days, so if there is some crucial storyline that you need to know about, you can always go back and purchase it as a hardcover or trade paperback later.
