The Vision wants to be human, and what's more human than family? He goes to the laboratory where he was created, where Ultron molded him into a weapon, where he first rebelled against his given destiny, where he first imagined that he could be more, that he could be good, that he could be a man, a normal, ordinary man. And 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 perhaps 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?

The fact is this is a perfectly told comic which dances between expert brooding and dark narration and deeply flawed characters. And yet they pretend not to be. Mixed with some powerful art this is as compelling as comics can get. Read Full Review
Vision is looking to be one of the hottest books going into 2016 and I can tell you I'm sticking along for the ride. The look of fear in Virginia's face in the final panel of this issue wasn't out of her actions, but the thought of her husband's reaction to the break in normalcy. This is a story about an unhealthy man starting a family, first and foremost, and I can only imagine what happens when his first family comes into the picture. Read Full Review
At it's most basic,Vision is a book about an AI that creates his own family in an attempt to be more human; and the repercussions that fall upon his new family, because of his decisions.At it's core,Visionis an examination of family, humanity, self-fulfillment, playing god and emotional distance.Vision is a brutal read, in the best way possible. It allows the reader to examine the question of what it means to be human, and if we are really doing those things in our own lives. Read Full Review
All in all, The Vision #1 is a truly unique, fresh and genuinely affecting comic book. Read Full Review
The Vision #1 is far from a typical superhero story - instead, it's an eerie sci-fi tale, but one that absolutely marks the next great comic from a team of already talented sequential storytellers. If you buy only one comic book this week, you absolutely need to make sure it's this one. King, Walta and Bellaire have put a wrecking ball through the veneer of the American Dream, and shown that, in many ways, these robots are just as confused, directionless and adrift as the rest of us. And maybe that's fitting - after all, that's what it means to be human. Read Full Review
The Vision is absolutely one of the best titles to come from the 'All-New, All-Different Marvel' initiative. Yes, there are many titles yet to come, and if any of them can reach the same emotional tension and aesthetic balance as this series, it would be like lightning striking twice. Read Full Review
It may not be attempt to reinvent the sci-fi tropes that explore humanity by telling stories of robots, but rather it's one of the best examples of such a story type. This new setting and the new characters around him were necessary to bring the character of the Vision into the kind of story that just perfect for him. The art as well as the narrative touches work together to create a creepy kind of Vision, and one that promises some intriguing philosophical touches and pointed emotions. Very rich story potential here, in an unexpected way that yet makes perfect sense. Read Full Review
This is not at all the type of book you might be expecting as marvel works to capitalize on the character's cinematic debut. Less a superhero adventure than a tale of suburban malaise and family strife, this issue sees Vision and his newly constructed family trying to find their place in an illogical human world. Read Full Review
Overall though,The Vision #1is a very different sort of Marvel comic, one that I really hope catches on. It feels quite niche and the type of book that'll have dedicated fans, (much like King'sOmega Men) but I'm more hoping that it'll be a surprise sleeper hit.The Omega Menproved how creative and clever a writer King is, andThe Visionshows he has many more ideas up his sleeve. Don't let this book meet the same fate, I highly recommend it to any one looking for something a little different from Marvel's line-up and hope it can capture the amount of success it deserves.

Tom King turned up the volume on the action in the last 4 pages, and it worked beautifully for me. The slower pace of the bulk of the story was a nice change from the standard super-hero book, but I'm not sure how well it will go over with the majority of Marvel's audience. It's the fact that this looks and feels so different from “standard super-hero” that is appealing to me, I hope it is able to sell well enough and build an audience so we'll be able to continue examining The Vision's view of the world. The conclusion of this issue was a real “What the heck?!?!” moment for me and certainly caught me by surprise. All the new Marvel #1s end with an add for the #2 issue that says “You Want to Know What Happens Next?” In the case of The Vision #1, my answer is a resounding “YES!” Read Full Review
The Vision #1 proves to be a an excellent social drama and character study as well as a sci-fi tale, and one that brings a new depth to a classic Avenger. Tom King's script is both relentlessly captivating and psychologically deep, and the artwork of Gabriel Hernandez Walta of Magneto renown provides the perfect, somber feel needed for this kind of story. The comic prevents not just a milestone for the Vision, but for Marvel Comics as well as it enters a new age. Read Full Review
Overall, I loved this title! This is something completely different from anything I have read; an artificial superhero who wants to settle down in the suburbs with a family he created. Dark hints and foreshadowing have told us that this experiment is not going to have a happy ending, and I for one will be sticking around to see what leads to all of this crashing down.

These three creators together are crafting a comic that will stick with you, surprising you with depth and thought that may strike very close to your deepest held fears. Read Full Review
I didnt want to get much into this issue because it has to be experienced on a personal level. Theres twist and turns in terms of plot development and characters thats not really what one might expect. Its definitely not shallow either, but rather makes all of these things hit harder that Ive felt from a Marvel book in a long, long, time. This is definitely a book to watch and hopefully it gets its due. Read Full Review
The Marvel Universe has always portrayed itself – for better or worse – as being ‘our' world, plus superheroes. And King and Walta have, I feel, rather accurately shown how ‘we' might react to having a family of androids move in the neighborhood. There probably wouldn't be a protest, there probably wouldn't be an “ANDROIDS GO HOME” sign on their front lawn. There would be a lot of Facebook selfies with the Visions, and neighborhood chatter, and a sense of unease that would creep into the neighborhood. This book is one of the more accurate representations of what it must be like to live in the 616 – and I'm damn glad I don't. Read Full Review
Far from being a comedic book, as its cover might evoke, The Visions struck me as a blackly comic but equally unsettling and dark story, and it's a great first issue that I loved reading. Read Full Review

"The Vision" #1 is a pleasant surprise that delivers an intriguing take on humanity, superheroism and life in suburbia. King and Walta have created an instant classic with "The Vision" #1, the sort of thoughtful comic that is all-too-rare these days. In the glut of new comics, don't let this one sneak past you. It's a winner. Read Full Review
I guarantee this new version of The Vision will keep readers guessing until the last page. Read Full Review
THE VISION is very different and that may be off-putting for many readers since it doesn't feel like a traditional super-hero or Marvel book, but that's what makes this such a great read. There is the question of "where is this all going" which doesn't get too much of an answer here, as the issue is more about establishing the world than anything else. It's different, but it's something you are probably going to want to check out. Read Full Review
Vision #1is unexpectedly good. As a comic it manages to be deeply intense, even though you know that the Visions are doing their best just to live normal lives for the most part you just don't really relate all that much to them. You feel bad for one of the twins at one point but other than that its incredibly hard not to see what is going on with this family as being super creepy. However this seems to be the intent and it is an interesting premise, so the comic does seem to be meeting its criteria. The issue in this way is a good one, and considering it focuses on a lower tier Avenger this is a pretty mean feat. Hopefully the comic continues in this vein, as it is a cool concept.

Probably my favorite comic series of all-time. The sort of writing that sticks in your head long after you finish reading.
This book was instantly compelling, and this is coming from someone who was not previously interested in the Vision. Just an awesome book. Easy jumping on.
I was hyped for this series because Vision is probably my favorite superhero. And damn does Tom King do it justice. The Vision #1 exceeded my expectations. This has to be my favorite Marvel debut this year. I highly recommend picking up the first issue.
Completely different from what you'd expect from a Marvel book. It starts off with a creepy suburban atmosphere where you know straight off the bat that something's wrong, and it pays off at the end. The most promising ANAD book so far.
I love the tone of this book and the dialogues in this issue are so dense and full of meaning. This book is quite wordy but i didnt mind reading all of them. The art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta is soo good as well and it is enhanced by the great colouring by Jordie Bellaire.
i would have boycotted marvel if not for this series, lol
It is now more and more unusual to read a psychologically complex comic book from Marvel, and "Vision" #1 is a perfect exception to the rule. The idea itself of a strange family made of the Vision's clones/family members is genius and the fulfilment of it is even more so. While the first part of the issue gives us a calmly paced, yet suddenly disturbing, introduction to the elements of the story, it's the ending that leaves shocked and with no clue of how it will go on. I'm officially hooked.
Starts off like the Coneheads, which is fun in and of itself, and then it takes a big turn and throws the story into another level.
Interesting take
Very intriguing!
I'll just leave this here and run away while I can! LOL
Vision is a very different story. It feels a lot like the Incredibles. Its an effort to humanize superheroes but its also humanizing robots. This is not particularly action packed but I'm sure there will be some people up in arms about the existence of a Vision family in no time.
