With Avengers fever starting to ramp up in anticipation for Avengers: Age of Ultron I decided that this month’s Book Club should join in on the fun. That’s why April’s Book Club book is the freshly released Avengers: Rage of Ultron graphic novel that’s just hit stores this week. This original hardcover graphic novel from Marvel should act as a good primer to get seasoned Avengers fans excited for the movie while introducing newer fans to the robotic villain Ultron.
Written by Rick Remender (Uncanny X-Force, Black Science) and art by Jerome Opeña, Pepe Larraz and Mark Morales, is a self-contained story which features not only an interesting team of Avengers but also Ultron, who has become essentially a planet. Throw in The Eternals (They’re related to Thanos) and you have a big science fiction epic. While the story is on a big scale it should also have enough space to explore character relationships between themselves and Ultron all wrapped up in a way that makes it self contained and new reader friendly.
How Does Book Club Work?
For those who are new to the Book Club this is essentially how it works:
- I set a book to read at the start of the month.
- Everyone then has a month to go out and read it.
- We all come back and discuss the title in the comments and social media. (I will make a new post for the discussion)
Pretty simple!

Spread the News
Book Clubs are always more fun when there are more people involved. So why not tell your friends and family to join in? Better yet, let your local retailer know about this month’s Book Club as I am sure they wouldn’t mind spreading the word if it meant selling more copies.
If you want to talk about the Book Club or post any photos of you reading it please use the hashtag #HTLCBookClub on your favourite social media. I’ll monitor the hashtag and share anything cool I see.
Keep an eye out for anything related to the Book Club on Facebook, Twitter or in the Weekly Newsletter. I’ll see you all in a month to discuss Avengers: Rage of Ultron at the end of the month.
Happy reading!
