The Vision (2015) (Single Issues)
The Vision #1
The Vision wants to be human, and what's more human than family? He goes to the laboratory where he was created, where Ultron molded him into a weapon, where he first rebelled against his given destiny, where he first imagined that he could be more, that he could be good, that he could be a man, a normal, ordinary man. And 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 perhaps obsession: the unrelenting need to be ordinary. Behold The Visions! They're the family next door, and they have the power to kill us all. What could possibly go wrong?

Bumped up to 4 stars bc I'm still finding myself thinking about this run, and would like to find the next editions.
Whoa, that got intense.
—A different take
—Art: Alright
—I'd read the rest of the series
I borrowed this digital e-comic from the Amazon Prime Reading Program. I was under no obligation to write a review, my honest opinion is freely given.
Notes:
I'm reading what I can on the characters Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) and Vision because Disney Plus is releasing new episodes each Friday of (WandaVision) and it's the best thing I've ever seen!
—(No spoilers, but I will say this... Episode one resembles the famous black and white series 'I Love Lucy', and episode 2 resembles 'Bewitched'. Episode 3 appears to be straight from 'The Brady Bunch'.)
My heart sang for these beautiful black and white witchy episodes! The backward storytelling is BRILLIANT along with the changing time periods (wow), definitely keeping us on our toes, we can't wait for the new episode to drop each Friday! Much excitement and anticipation in our house!
Wanda and Vision were beloved by many, turning up in Marvel's movie world 'Avengers 2' (before 'End Game'), that they decided to give them a spin-off world based loosely on the comics. I couldn't be happier to put in the time, effort, and research into their backstories/history/origin so that I can become a better fan, understanding the smaller details, while also appreciating the different angles Marvel decided to take (comic vs TV). It makes me feel closer to the storyline, is a ton of fun, and yes, making me a better, well-rounded fan if I must humbly say. If you've not read the comics yet (like me), chances are you may not know much about Wanda and Vision. My fiancé had some theories about the TV series, based on the comics he read, I wanted to be able to have my own theories and discussions with him, not feel left out. (I didn't want it to be like 'The Mandalorian' all over again, with me asking a zillion questions)— pause, rewind, pause, rewind— (that's no fun for anyone) because I hadn't put in the WORK previously to watch 'Star Wars'...🤣
Let the reading continue!
I'm now reading "HOUSE OF M" to gain a better understanding of Wanda, Vision, and the villains they face.

I've been interested in the Vision for a long time but have only read a handful of comics featuring him. I know he's an android created by Ultron and used to be married to the Scarlet Witch. Oh, and he was in the second Avengers movie.
Tom King's series has The Vision create a family for himself. His wife Virginia, and teen twins Vin and Viv live with The Vision in a Washington DC suburb and try to lead a normal life.
I didn't know what to think of this at first. Now I do. I fucking love it!
The Visions try to blend in with humans to learn about them. It was oddly amusing and somewhat sweet. That made the Grim Reaper showing up and scything the shit out of them much more shocking.
For a single issue of a modern comic, this one had a lot of great moments. Tom King has me hooked. I'll read The Vision as long as he writes it. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The Vision makes a family.
Already, this comic is unlike most superhero comics. Vision, a career Avenger, settles down in the suburbs with a family he has created for himself. From the premise, one could foresee the heartbreak and sorrow that comes from being a scion from the house of Pym. Hank Pym created Ultron, the mass murdering robot. Ultron begat the Vision. A scion from that house is fated to defy their progenitor, Ultron did to Pym, and Vision did to Ultron. I wonder what lies for the Vision from his own family? This question is enough to brave the sorrow that is sure to come in the next chapter.
Read as a single issue on the ComiXology app. The collective review for the entire The Vision by Tom King and Gabriel Walta (2015-2016) storyline can be found on my review of The Vision: The Complete Series.

Vision made himself a family so he could be more human.
He has a wife and twin children. They moved into a Virginia suburb. Vision goes to work while his children go to high school. They're just an ordinary family of synthezoids.
To me this reads like a failed Terminator reboot. It's like an Arnold Schwarzenegger terminator went back in time, not to kill John Connor, but to determine if humanity is worth saving. He then creates a wife and children so they can help him evaluate. Based on the ratings a lot of people clearly enjoy this, but it just feels too strange to me. If I had to pay to read this, then I'm sure I never would have read it.

Weird in a interesting way
November 10, 2015
Okay, who knew I would like a stand-alone Vision series? Not me, he answered himself. The basic premise is: Vision creates a family for himself, and moves to a ranch style home in the suburbs. What can these Synthezoids learn from acting human? Should they act human? What does it mean to understand the way humans think and act? What is normal? These questions build our curiosity while also compounding a sense of dread. Then the penny drops and there's a twist. What a twist.
Vision #1 is a great first issue, it’s an unexpectedly fantastic take on super-hero conventions. King and Walta seem to — based solely on this issue — have enough freedom to spin the series as a complex sci-fi thriller — think Ex Machina meets Leave It to Beaver. I hope it'll continue down the path of 'super-hero deconstruction'. If you’re a fan of The Twilight Zone or UK’s Black Mirror series, you’ll very likely enjoy this series.

من داستان این سری کامیک ویژن رو اولین بار حدود یک سال پیش توی پادکست هیرولیک شنیدم. فوقالعاده بود.🤩
از همون موقع هم دوست داشتم کامیکهاش رو بخونم اما نشد تا چند وقت پیش که اتفاقی لینک دانلودش رو پیدا کردم و بعد از دانلود فهمیدم نسخهی ترجمه شده هم هست.
سری کامیک ۱۲جلدی ویژن سال ۲۰۱۶ منتشر شده و مربوط به وقایع بعد از جدایی واندا و ویژنه. توی این سری ویژن یک خانواده از جنس خودش داره که شامل همسرش ویرجینیا و دختر و پسر دوقلوشون ویو و وین میشه. خانوادهای متفاوت که سعی دارند بین مردم مثل انسانها در آرامش زندگی کنند، اما شدنیه؟
پ.ن: این سری کامیک فیلم یا سریالی نداره و ماجراهاش جدید و جذابه، برای فهمش هم نیازی به اطلاعات کامل از دنیای مارول نیست. هر چیزی که لازمه بدونید توی پاورقیهای کتاب یا خود پادکست هست.
من از وبسایت کامیکان دانلودش کردم

"The floating water vases of Zenn-La are always empty. The methanic sulfite that causes the water to levitate is poisonous to all known species of flowers. The mystery is then not why they are empty, but why anyone would ever make such a vase."

Well another All New All Different Marvel book knocks it out of the park. I was not sold on the idea of this book at all when I first heard of it. Then I read the preview pages and I had to get it. I was not expecting a philosophical debate on the use of the word nice. The family dynamic adds a much needed layer look at robo...I mean synthoids trying to be human and what kind of turmoil and horror that brings for them, along with the community they live in. The art does a wonderful job of conveying the feelings of all involved and makes the pink skinned Vision family look like distinct individuals. The panel where the twins show up for the first day of high school is one of my favorite panels in a long time.
I'm going to say so far that I think the All New All Different relaunch is the best relaunch I've had the experiencing of dealing with. I've been reading and collecting comics for about 23 years (24 if you count just staring at the pictures) and I can't remember a time when there was really too much I wanted to pick up off the shelf from Marvel. Or any company for that matter. Even the books I had no intention on picking up are getting buzz that makes me want buy them. The quality of the relaunch makes it easy to see why Marvel had a 44% market share in September.

Really couldn't get into this.
Maybe I'm too old school, but it just didn't feel like a Vision story to me, but rather a sci-fi story that the Vision was shoe-horned into to sell it to marvel.
The whole 'something is wrong beneath the surface of suburbia' vibe has been done so many times that this just feels like 'oh, this again'.
Also doesn't help that the title character seems to spend too much time off stage and the rest of his family just wasn't that interesting to me.
Maybe the character has just moved too far past the version I know and love that it's time for me to move on but this series just isn't what I want in a super hero title.

Read through the weird collected of Spider-Man/Deadpool #1 with The Vision #1
I heard The Vision's series mentioned on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour - instantly scrambled to collect the series. Maybe I'm being (Tom) Petty, but the most redeeming part of Avengers: Age of Ultron was The Vision being in the mix. Seeing him get an insanely cool sci-fi series of his own is beyond words.
This is the comic book I want to shove in everyone's hands, demand them to read. This is the series I'm rooting for this year above all others.

An odd new comic by Tom King that explores what life would be like for The Vision if he had a family of sythezoids like him. As they are not humans they have trouble integrating smoothly into society but not for lack of trying. There is reference to things that will happen in their future that show that they may not be the family that Vision envisioned. The conflict at the end of the book furthers this theory. I am intrigued by this story - its new, different & VERY quirky.

Great Premise, Great Execution
Oh, all the Marvel stories that have been told about puppets wanting to be real boys are legion, this one is going to be special I think.
From the foreshadowing to the reconciliation of the Visions being constructs of perfect logic and reasoning living an imperfect life in the 'burbs. We are in for a grand adventure.
"Clothes that phase are costly. Do not stain them." Indeed.

The coloring is great, and I'm not sure. lol It's pretty much all about, questioning ones own existence, trying to understand what their purpose in life is, and figuring out where they fit. The wife, daughter and son that is.

This issue imagines a family of superpowered androids moving into suburban Washington DC, into a neighborhood where the denizens are the lawyers, bureaucrats, and political professionals. Vision is a member of the Avengers. Having been created by villainous Ultron, Vision changed sides to protect humanity, the android’s affinity for humanity subsequently led him to create his own family -- a wife and two children, Viv and Vin. When Vision takes a job as the Avenger’s liaison to the Federal government, he moves his family into a Virginia neighborhood popular with the DC elite.
Being fish-out-of-water, these androids are challenged by the quotidian events of suburban life and they’re perplexed by the idiosyncrasies of mankind. Setting a household of super-bots in the most mundane human habitat imaginable provides a lot of comedic fodder. The “Visions” are welcomed to the neighborhood by a couple from next door. Vin and Viv attend their first day at school. The only real action is at the very end of the issue, and it’s clearly meant to carry to the story onward through subsequent issues.
The art and color palette are consistent with the laid-back suburban context of the story.
This issue plays on an amusing premise, but – of itself – is more of a set up than a story. If you’re interested in the character and intend to move forward with reading more issues, you’ll probably want to give this issue a read. However, if you’re expecting this to be an action-packed superhero outing, you’re likely to be disappointed.

January 31, 2022I got interested in this series when WandaVision just came out but as I hadn’t read any comics then I never pursued it. However, I’ve been obsessed with reading Marvel comics recently so I just knew I had to come and read this series as well. This first issue is a great introduction. I really like the narration. The whole issue is just so weird and different (which is the main reason I was obsessed with WandaVision as well, even though they’re weird in different ways). The ending also completely took me by surprise and I’m super excited to continue.

Vision engineers his own family: his wife Virginia and the twins Viv and Vin. He moves into a serene suburb in Virginia and attempts to lead what humans consider a normal life but unpredicted thoughts settle into his mind as he sends his children to school and deals with the attention they are drawing.
Interesting in an eerie way.

this came along with the spider-man/deadpool #1 issue which was interesting, featuring his family, vision ressuructing his daughter ft. tony strak, and agatha harkness in a noir art style killing a black feline magical creature to see visions of the future with vision killing the avengers
wanda is mentioned but never shown

Increíble e interesantísima la forma de convertir a Vision y su familia en eso, en una familia que es de todo menos normal pero se enfrenta a sus problemas desde una perspectiva tan extraña como humana. El dibujo está muy bien también, pero aquí el protagonista es el guion.

I read this graphic novel because of the Disney+ series. I enjoyed the story, but it did not mirror the program, plus the story is a little dark. I am planning on reading volume II.
March 16, 2021
A clear vision?
I love the graphics. The storyline harbours a mysterious plot which I am looking forward to uncover by reading all the following volumes.
