Man this series is great. It’s so dark! So glad it was recommended to me after watching WandaVision.
The second and concluding volume lays some more groundwork before bringing it all home. It escalates slowly with creeping dread all while playing the emotions with sweet vignettes, asides and character moments. By the time the end comes around I felt emotionally affected by the story.
The Vision is a wonderful contained tale and while I'd be curious to see how it develops from here and how the new status quo is accepted in the wider Marvel world, I just can't imagine how a new creative team could live up the benchmark set. It feels distinct in the Marvel universe, something more than the usual.
Great comic. Great work.

3.5 stars?
The premise of this comic is SO intriguing and it was done really well! I enjoyed it way too much and I flew through it. What an interesting perspective... and the art is gorgeous!

Ended as great as it started. This was a different kind of super hero story. Not a lot of action, but highly atmospheric. Creepy, sad, and for some reason I feel like it was the Marvel version of Death of a Salesman (though I actually don't remember much about that book).
I wouldn't want all my superhero comics to be like this, but it was fun (does that make me a sadist?).

A dark yet beautiful conclusion to this series about Vision's suburban family life. Truly haunting, deceptively simple writing by Tom King complemented perfectly by the art.
I stopped reading comic books a number of years ago because life got in the way. Over the last year or so I've been picking up some of the old series I read and rereading them, and also wanting to find something new that I would not only enjoy, but would love.
There have been a number of false starts - series that I just couldn't get into - Punisher, Black Panther and Batman are three of them - but then somewhere I saw something about The Vision.
The writer - Tom King - was someone I first heard about when reading about DC's new universe/reboot/whatever and I was intrigued. Ex-CIA employee who is now writing comics. Let's give this a shot. I first tried his take on Batman and was left feeling meh. Maybe it was because I only gave it one issue, or maybe because I had no idea who this Batman was who knows.
The Vision is someone I knew of from "back in the day" and honestly, never cared too much about him. He was simply a super powered robot who was a member of The Avengers (I was of an X-Men reader anyway.)
Somehow, adding these two together, I've not only found a series that I enjoyed, but one that I LOVED.
This series was full of pain and heartbreak, and yes, while this family is inhuman, they felt more human than any other family that I can think of.
Sadly, this series is over, but I have newfound hope that I'll find another series that I've been looking for.

Felt like in this issue, the characters were more flushed out and I liked the ending more
A twisted and tragic conclusion, bruisingly human because ultimately what parent wouldn't do the same for their family?
