Heartbreaking and brilliant

Vision (2015-) #9 - Mike Del Mundo, Gabriel Hernandez Walta, Tom King

This is told in a voiceover type monologue for the most part, but it's also eerily effective: it's a prolonged setup for the next story, it's a slow exploration of character - and it was more compelling than many comics with far more action in their pages. 

 

I was, needless to say, thoroughly creeped out.   I expected the death as Marvel told us it was coming, and there was really only one logical choices, especially given this cover.   (Especially since the storyline had been leading up to this; the cover made it clear who it was, though, and that fit in with the last issue.)

 

I'm heartbroken.  

 

I've also come to the conclusion that my first ship for Vision is Wanda, but if he can't have her, Virginia is a very close second.   No wonder, since she's based on Wanda, but there's something stiff and artificial about her that I don't really sense in Vision.   Maybe it's just because she's so new and not yet as used to human society as Vision is, but it makes me slightly uncomfortable.   It's supposed to, and yet I still squirm and go, 'but I really don't like it!'

 

It might be a flaw, but it's in there too consciously and thus feels like a very purposeful flaw.   I'm only disappointed that I have to wait yet another month for more - and I honestly say that every month, so there you go!
