Brian Michael Bendis & Bryan Hitch Another Marvel crossover event began with a bang this week, as the first issue in the Age of Ultron mini-series debuted (complete with a foil cover that you can't miss on the stands), which will see stories crossing over into several other books, including Fantastic Four , Wolverine and the X-Men and Uncanny Avengers .  The mini-series will run for ten issues, with artists Brandon Peterson and Carlos Pacheco taking over art chores in later issues, after the first half is completed by Hitch.  Coming off of Avengers vs. X-Men , they have quite the shoes to fill, as that crossover event proved epic and actually really, really good.  Fans have been waiting for Age of Ultron for awhile now, since we got a little preview a few years ago in the opening volume of Bendis and John Romita Jr's Avengers  series, in which Kang took key Avengers members to a future ruled by Ultron.  So, it's been a bit of a wait, but it's fi...
