Will Sargent reviewed The Vision by Tom King (The Vision #1)
Review of 'The Vision' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
Overly portentous narrator. Like Wes Anderson wrote a comic book.
Paperback, 136 pages
English language
Published 2016 by Marvel Worldwide, Inc..
The Vision wants to be human, and what's more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning, to the laboratory where Ultron created him and molded him into a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his given destiny, and imagined he could be more -- that he could be a man. There, he builds them. A wife, Virginia. Two teenage twins, Viv and Vin. They look like him. They have his powers. They share his grandest ambition (or is that obsession?): the unrelenting need to be ordinary. They're the family next door, and they have the power to kill us all. What could possible go wrong? Artificial hearts will be broken, bodies will not stay buried, the truth will not remain hidden, and The Vision will never be the same.
Overly portentous narrator. Like Wes Anderson wrote a comic book.
