I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
This is my sixth spot in summer bingo. Travel: planes, trains and road trips. Well, it doesn't quite fit the details, but it kinda is a trip. To space. To find Nova's father. So like a space trip to help a friend.
It's... definitely travel! And it gets more travel-y in the end. So the thing is any time you get Ms. Marvel, Vision, Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Nova, Lady Hammer Pants and Iron Man into a comic, I'm pretty much bound to like it. Love it, even. This is no expedition. I'm loving what they've been doing with V so far, and I continue to love what they do with him, even though he has a far less central role in this storyline. (So far, at least. I'm just happy to see him, especially with this artist who has one of the most adorable takes on Vision.)
Maybe it sounds silly, but I feel like this artist just completely nails V. He's not human, but he wants to be, and many of his postures and gestures look very human. At the same time, he's logical and mostly calm, to an arguably inhuman degree. Like in this pose, saying this, he excuses an inhuman calmness in the face of everyone either freaking out or doing things - like Thor and Mjolnir making the ship fly - or trying to calm everyone else down. V's going about his business like this is just another Wednesday, though. And yet his hand at his side, and the tilt of his head, are very human gestures.
And this is... just... I can't explain it. I think this isn't my favorite artist, but definitely my favorite artist when it comes to this one character. And I love V so that's saying a lot.
But then this happens:
I need to know how this all plays out. And I may be freaking out a little because we see the rest of the team enslaved at the end, but no V :(
