For all of Marvel’s recent NOW! relaunches, artist Skottie Young (who does the art for Marvel’s all-ages Wizard of Oz comics) has been offering up cute covers showcasing various heroes in their “baby” form, similar to the depiction seen in the “X-Babies” comics. Heck, there was an entire “A-Babies vs X-Babies” comic showcasing the idea/style.
And, hey, wouldn’t you know it, “Age of Ultron” is no exception to the rule. It just so happens that this is just the damn cutest of the entire lot. It’s so cute that, really, you’re kind of OK with Ultron conquering the playground and killing all the heroes. That cute silly bastard.
For the full press release from Marvel, please see below.
