In my read-up towards "Avengers Disassembled", this volume came recommended to get to know the Scarlet Witch in a more personal way. These issues do a great job of showing her love towards The Vision and her obsessive wish to have a normal family life with him. And of course, having children are the thing she wants most. First of all: its great to read a superhero comic that deals more with family life than with fighting villains. Second: the Scarlet Witch is portrayed as a stereotypical housewife, which is a shame. I guess that's part of the time these comics were written in, and it makes them feel a bit oldfashioned. Third: Not knowing anything about The Vision and little about The Scarlet Witch, this volume did a great job of making me care about them and understanding their hope for a 'normal' life and the struggle to have children together.

Great story, but Howell's art is pretty awful. The man has a talent for making faces look completely flat and bodies look like posed mannequins.

This was certainly a different time for comics in both art and writing styles, but even with that in mind, it is surprising to me that a series that is so consequential to each of the main characters is also so boring and badly written. Also did not age terribly well.

So bad. Just so, so terrible. From the dated writing to the rudimentary art, this was awful. Wanda calling Vision “vizh”?!? Vision calling Wanda “curlytop”?!? Gag. Oh, and the not to be forgotten affair between Crystal and...Norm Baker.

A Year in the Life is dated in its clumsy handling of Black characters and patronising treatment of women (it was written in the 80s), but is still fun in places. It follows Vision and Wanda as they try to have a normal life in a suburban town but things don't go to plan, basically. My highlight was the awkward Thanksgiving family dinner with Magneto, Quicksilver, an Inhuman and their new neighbours - great stuff. Worth a look, especially if you're watching the wonderful WandaVision but it gets bogged down in confusing superhero family trees and feels very 'of its time'.

Two stars just for the conception of Billy and Tommy that we get to see (no, it's not that, get your mind out of the gutter) I guess I'd rather give it 1.5 stars for that. The rest of it is-- ugh. I don't have time to get into everything wrong. I think the worst part was Vision getting sexually assaulted by Amora but then he jokes about it cause he actually "liked" it, then gets mad when Wanda gets upset. Who thought this was a good idea?

it's a pretty simple and short series, there's nothing much going on plotwise besides just wanda and vis looking for some peace and quiet
to be honest up till now i never really cared much about their relationship (tho i do appreciate both characters singularly) but i really enjoyed how it was written here!! plus that ending was very sweet and heartwarming <3
