Read The Visions (it’s 2 parts)

First attempt to recommend a comic book, so it has to be good. This is my favorite Vision story. There are not a ton to pick from, therefore it is nice to find such a weird story.

Here is the quick overview.

The events are said to occur shortly after Vision and Wanda breakup. She did go crazy and altered all of reality in the House of M story just before this. Quick note, Wanda loses her kids as they were actually part of the devil’s soul (Mephesto). It’s weird but good.

So Vision wants a normal “human” life. It moves to Virginia and does what anybody would do after a long relationship… builds an entire family out of parts, wife: Virginia, daughter: Viv and son: Vin. The family is all based on Vision’s mind and programming. They are granted the same free will and AI to learn, just like Vision. They are given tasks like be a housewife, be a student etc. All in the hopes of learning like Vision did and aligning themselves as a true family.

It starts innocent enough as Vision takes a back seat throughout the story and the family shares the spotlight. We learn the new AI isn’t learning the same way as Vision’s original programming. An attack by an enemy, leads to murder, leads to blackmail, leads to more villainous thoughts. It’s written well and has good fluidity. The art is right where it needs to be for a good story.

The story is not a cookie cutter superhero story. It’s a more of a suspense murder crime docuseries. If that’s you jam, then go for. I would love to discuss.
