Se a primeira parte me surpreendeu esta destruí-me profundamente.

<Spoiler> 
O sacrifício da Virgínia e a sua busca por fazer o melhor pela sua família a todo o custo foi incrível e aquele final CHEF KISS.
Tive pena do Vin na sua busca pela humanidade ele encontrou a pior faceta dela.
Victor foi uma personagem interessante entre a espeda e a parede de querer ser aceite e trair aquilo que era mais próximo de si.
No final os Avangers criaram o seu próprio pesadelo, algo que normalmente acontece quando tentanos evitar o que ainda não temos a certeza que irá existir.

This was a beautifully written and dark conclusion to the story of Vision and his family.

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!

The vision has become one of my favorite marvel comic series created. It is a welcomed break from the big villain battles and other worldly adventures. The Vision story is about what it means to be human and how someone who isn’t human discovers that as he is trying to live a normal life with a not so normal family. I can not praise this comic enough. The first two volumes constructed an amazing arc that drew me in completely and left me so satisfied by the end. I hope to get more of this story in the future but if this is the true end then I will still be content.

Wow.

This hurt to read, in a heart-wrenching type of way. It's dark and philosophical and complex and engaging and works as an excellent follow-up to the first volme.

The first issue apparently dealt a lot with past Marvel events and was a little harder to follow. I haven't read much else about Vision and Scarlett Witch, and it's honestly been too long since read volume 1 of this series. That being said, the series is good at explaining what matters and getting to the story at hand.

And the story at hand is the continued efforts of Vision and is family to be "normal" and have a quiet life despite the mistakes that haunt them. But the situation is stacked against them, and the emotions run high throughout this excellent wrap-up to a unique and gripping story.

I have so many emotions. This book does a wonderful job of tying into comic continuity whilst being accessible, philosophical, engaging, and just wonderful.

This is one of my favourite comic series of all time, and I wish everyone could read it

I would give this volume a 4.75, but since I gave the first volume a 3, I'm averaging my review here and giving the whole run a 4.

Vol. 2 provides a solid, ultimately powerful close to a gloomy, dark start that left me satisfied with the series. King shows off the strength of an intimate, close-quarters superhero story and how such a story could have [Marvel] universe-wide consequences, without sacrificing the restraints of the setting.

SpoilerAlso I admit bringing the dog back helped a lot.


A very strong arc that works like any quality domestic drama, with a twist that feels true to the relationships King built.

Believe the hype

I'd read nothing but good reviews of Tom King's Vision, and it didn't disappoint. Stories like these are the superhero genre at its best.
