Marvel Avengers: Battle Against Ultron is slated to hit shelves today. This is a book for young readers I wrote for DK, the same people behind the bestselling Marvel Encyclopedia, and it features Marvel’s greatest superhero team and their history of conflict with one of their most tenacious and dangerous foes: the murderous robot Ultron.
Battle Against Ultron comes in both softcover and hardcover formats. The softcover retails for $5.99, while the hardcover runs $16.99. Both are 128 full-color pages.
I wrote the book for kids starting to read on their own. My editor at DK, Sadie Smith, hired literacy experts to keep the grammar, vocabulary and content right in line with that.
The DK graphic design team–led by Robert Perry–did a beautiful job with this book, making use of some of Marvel’s greatest artwork. See below for some sample pages. If you have any kids around who are intrigued by the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron film, this book should be perfect for them–whether they’re old enough to see the movie or not.
