COMIC CONNECTIONS: Age of Ultron - Humanity and Hubris

Episode 30 - Humanity and Hubris

This week we travel back into the 1960s for a quick look at how ULTRON-5 first entered the Marvel Universe.  After that, we will zoom forward to 2013, when our old friend Brian Michael Bendis shows us why it is very important to keep an eye on technological progress, especially if you happen to accidently create a villainous and nearly indestructible artificial intelligence that is bent on the eradication of the human race.
