Tom King, Michael Walsh ja Gabriel Hernandez Walta: The Vision, Vol 1 - Little worse than a man ja The Vision, Vol 2 - Little better than a beast

Tom King on kirjoittanut ja Michael Walsh sekä Gabriel Hernandez Walta piirtäneet sarjakuvakirjat, jossa robottiolento haluaa elää kuin ihminen ja rakennuttaa itselleen perheen elääkseen lähiössä ihan kuten naapurissa asuvat perheet.



Sarjakuvia on kehuttu, mutta kehut eivät yltäneet lukukokemukseen saakka. Ehkä pitäisi olla Marvel-sarjakuvakirjojen maailmaan syvällisesti perehtynyt jotta tarinoita pystyisi arvostamaan. Tuntui että tekijöillä jonkinlaista sanottavaa saattaa olla, mutta sarjakuvassa siitä ei ollut kuin ajoittaisia välähdyksiä, jos sitäkään.

The Vision, Vol 1 - Little worse than a man (Marvel Worldwide, 2016; ISBN 978-0-7851-9657-0)

The Vision wants to be human, and what's more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning, to the laboratory where Ultron created him and molded him into a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his given destiny and imagined that he could be more - that he could be a man. There, 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 is that 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? Artificial hearts will be broken, bodies will not stay buried, the truth will not remain hidden, and the Vision will never be the same.


The Vision, Vol 2 - Little better than a beast (Marvel Worldwide, 2016; ISBN 978-0-7851-9658-7)

Once upon a time a robot and a witch fell in love. What followed was a tale of the dead and the dying, of the hopeful and the lost, of the wronged and the avenged. And in the end, after both had fallen, the witch and the robot rose from their dirt and eyed each other across a field of blood and bone. Forty-five years in the making, this is the story of Scarlet Witch and the Vision. Before family, there was love.
