Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies #1

Two of Marvel's most relentless forces of destruction collide on this Secret Wars Battleworld tie-in, as a battered, glowing-eyed Ultron head dominates the center of the cover — surrounded on one side by ranks of hulking Ultron drones and on the other by a ravenous horde of decaying Marvel Zombies, all snarling and pressing forward. The cover pencils by Carlos Pacheco and inks by Rodolfo Taibo give the composition a visceral, almost overwhelming scale, with that cracked faceplate radiating menace from the heart of the chaos. Written by James Robinson with art by Steve Pugh and Ron Garney, this opener — "A Stranger Came to Town" — sets the stage for a collision between machine apocalypse and undead plague that feels genuinely unhinged in the best possible way.
