Representaion In Pursuance Of Books The Vision, Volume 1: Little Worse Than A Man (Vision (2015) (Collected Editions) #1)
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 road to Hell is paved with good intentions," or so it's been said for who knows how long. It's one of those sayings where I always want to retort, as sarcastically as my voice can physically allow, Ah yes, it was good intentions that have led all the world's abusers, all the serial killers, all the serial rapists, all the career criminals, all the tyrants, and all the all-too-willing people who serve and enable them all astray towards Hell.Yet I must concede that Tom King, Gabriel HernandezAdmittedly, I'm not King's biggest fan. His books are usually hit or miss with me (mostly miss). This one is somewhere in the middle.It's an interesting premise. I've said before, I don't really understand Vision as a character. I don't quite understand how he has emotions or forms attachments. Here, it's that issue x 4 with his "wife and two kids". I've read some critiques from die hard Wanda fans who hate Vision because of his treatment of Wanda. I never really formed an opinion on that
A lot darker in nature than I thought, but a well told story none the less. Lovely artwork, the story reminded me of a horror movie, but I can't quite think which one. Maybe the shining, when the wife has realised that her husband is crazy. It provokes some interesting debates about AI as well. Exterminate!
I don't usually review any of the series I follow in single issues until they're released in trade, but I'm making an exception for The Vision as it's one of the best comic books I've ever read. Hell, the term "comic book" seems insufficient to describe Little Worse Than A Man. It's storytelling through sequential art at it's finest and I thought it was incredible from start to finish.Comic superstar-in-the-making Tom King teams with talented artist Gabriel H. Walta and fan-favourite colourist
Youtube Video Review - https://youtu.be/CK5UQwuwwbMEvery once in a blue moon you read a graphic novel that blows away any expectations no matter how much good you heard about it. Earlier this year it was American Alien. The Vision is the second Graphic Novel made this year to blow me the FUCK away! Vision is building a home for his family. His wife, his kids, all he's trying to do is be normal. It's simple, for humans we try our best to achieve great things. For Vision he's saved the world a
Whoa. Nothing is creepier than the 'burbs.This seems to have fairly positive reviews, but there are those that thought this was pretty boring. And I can kinda understand where they're coming from. It's a slow moving story about androids. Sorry..synthezoids? Whatever. At any rate, I get why this might not be some people's cuppa. Also? Hype. Anything that gets too over-hyped tends to be a letdown to me. And this one has tons of rave reviews. So, there's that, as well.Lower your expectations.
I get into some spoilsies later in the review so I guess be warned. The short version of this review is that the book is overrated, boring and poorly written and I wouldnt recommend it. Ok, on with the review proper! The Vision suddenly has a family! His wife is Virginia, his son is Vin and his daughter is Viv (oh the cute alliteration) and they reside at 616 Hickory Branch Lane (geddit, like Marvel-616, the main Marvel universe). Not a lot happens for most of the book until something does and
