SEX #1: This series is rated Adults Only DISCLAIMER: GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: As stated in his afterword, veteran superhero writer Joe Casey still revels in “wild, heroic action stories”, but believes it is time to “take back the ‘alternative comix’ tag…for our own perverse pleasure.” This envelope-pushing series offers the best of both worlds, with brainy intrigue, costumed avengers, cyberpunk glamor, and of course, graphic sexuality. Reader discretion is advised.

Age of Ultron #1 (of 10): For years the heroes of the Marvel Universe have lived in fear that the artificial intelligence known as Ultron would one day evolve to fulfill its desire to wipe out all organic life and take over the Earth — that day has arrived.
