It's embarrassing how much I liked this...

Avengers: Vision and the Scarlet Witch: A Year in the Life - Steve Englehart, Al Milgrom, Richard Howell

This whole series was written in a series of super-serious exclamations!   I'm not kidding!   Every single sentence was written like this!   Even questions, you ask?   Well, no, not those!   Those ended with question marks, obviously, but exclamation marks all around otherwise!   Can you imagine reading a full review like this?   Well, let me tell you, this was a lot longer than a review!

 

Enough of that.   This was embarrassing.   Like to the point where I wanted to claim I had no knowledge of this graphic novel.   Vision finds out that he's going to be a father and it literally knocks him on his ass.   There are horrible generalizations and some statements make no sense at all.   Revenge and shame go together like a man and wife should?   Could you have picked two more horrible things to compare a man and wife to, Pietro?   I get it, your wife was cheating on you, but I still feel like you didn't think that comparison out before talking.   

 

Then again, this had zombies, Vision grinned like an idiot a lot, and while I had trouble getting into it at first, I was zooming along at the end.   I couldn't wait to see what else would happen.  The trouble is it's not very good, it's kinda emotionally all over the place, and it's a lot of cheese.   It's just... it's something I don't particular want to admit to liking.   Oh, I don't mind admitting I like total crap.  I do.   And I openly admit it.   I'm not sure why this is on the level of bad that makes me want to hide my love for in a hole so deep and dark that no one will ever discover said love, but I do.   (I was listening to a TV show, and someone yelled out, 'Now I know all your dirty little secrets' while I was typing that last sentence by the way.)

 

Maybe because I kinda don't want to admit it to myself.   It was awful, just awful in so many ways - and yet I found myself more and more addicted.   And I know why: it's got Vision and Wanda buying a home, trying to make a living, going out and about town and doing normal things.   It has them happy.   And it warmed my heart.   It's what I kinda want and can't really have.   So I think I hold this up as a bit of an ideal - ignoring the zombies and Toad kings and such - and so it holds a special place in my heart. And maybe that's why I feel this crushing mortification about liking this so damn much. 

 

Let me leave you with how this book ends: 

 

 

See, writer, there's also an explanation for why I hate admitting I liked this so much.   So. Much.   Cheese.   (I promise I won't talk like that much.   I'm just... I have no words to that ending.   Just like the pregnancy, our limited series has come to an end?   Why would you break the fourth wall over that?)

 

Really this just makes me want to read more about the Vision, though.
