Somehow the story made me very invested in the second half i think im just a sucker for grief
Damn, this Vision mini-series is so morbid......almost like a horror story. Yet at the same time, so deep. I know that is vague, but I hope it piques the interest of anyone who read this and makes them decide to read it because it is definitely one of the best comic books I have ever read.

Part 2 of Tom's Vision
Shitty, lazy Vision jokes aside, this was an amazing journey. I haven't really read a lot of Marvel books. I'm sure they're not all this great but I have been really missing out by being so enamored with DC books.
I'm so glad I finally got around to starting and finishing Tom King's take on Vision. This changes how I see him as a character (who I was only familiar with through MCU) and the rest of the Avengers. And yet again, this is all about being human. The most inorganic member of the Avengers somehow proves to be the most human. The pain that the characters go through is real and agonizing but it's what we get for being alive. For trying to make sense of it all.
I'm rambling now but this book and Vol 1 now forever holds a special place in my shelf and in my life.

What did we learn from this book?
1. The Vision is more powerful than the combined might of the entire Avengers.
2. It's better to tell the truth. The momentary embarrassment or pain will be less than if your lies are found out later.
3. Mystical prophesies usual come true, just not in the way you expect.
So ends this dramatic slice-of-life tale of a synthetic man and his family. The conclusion plays out a little too conveniently; we can't have an important character like The Vision sidelined, but his family is fair game for some brutal consequences. At least there is a tidy conclusion, unlike many serialized comic book stories (although there are the requisite loose ends that can, and probably will, be taken up in future stories).
The artwork is serviceable, but not spectacular. The writing is what makes this book good. It is the kind of writing that stays with you and makes you ponder your place in the universe.
