The 'Android Avenger': Vision Appreciation!

[Digifiend]

I see it lists him and Nadia as Avengers on the recap page - but I don't think that's their role here. Vision's just there because he's the Vivs' father, and Nadia will be a potential recruit (I see her declining for now, but joining after No Surrender after what happened in #675).

.....And speaking of which; while the Vision is still frozen within AVENGERS #676, in addition to his appearance within Today's CHAMPION #16 is another one within PETER PARKER: SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #299.

The Vision's solo makes this list of the best Marvel series since Secret Wars

The Vision by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta
This book was Marvel’s peak since Secret Wars, and, in my opinion, it ranks as a classic that ought to be remember among the best the medium has produced. It also marked Tom King’s arrival as a major writing talent in comics. In fact, before the 12-issue run had ended, DC snapped him up on an exclusive contract, a development then-Marvel E-I-C Axel Alonso seemed none too thrilled over. Through Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s excellent clean and emotive artwork, King’s scripts went to some truly dark and heartbreaking places.

As with Spider-Woman, The Vision also serves as a prime example of the good that can come from Marvel’s unrestrained editorial approach. It’s a quirky concept (a superhero in the suburbs! Superman + American Beauty!) executed by creators operating with total freedom, and it’s all about an often-minor character given a chance to star. Marvel’s milked the success of this book since it ended, putting out director’s cuts and hardcovers and all of that, but what if the publisher had had less titles, less relaunches, less series that looked exactly like their movies? Maybe books that were worthy, like The Vision, Nighthawk, The Ultimates or Spider-Woman would have found wider readership and hung around.

I'm still waiting for Vision & Wanda to reunite.

I'm still waiting for Vision & Wanda to reunite.

How long has it been?

How long has it been?

Well, it wasn't that long ago........but then, both Wanda and Vision weren't exactly themselves; thanks to SECRET EMPIRE...!!

Does that count as Chthon/Zola(I think it's his virus?) Some weird pairing.

How long has it been?

For me, since John Byrne destroyed their union during his Avengers West Coast run back in 1989-1990.

After Busiek & later Geoff Johns, I was sure they would get back together, but Bendis did his thing.

Damn, when I think about it, they been apart most of my life.

Thank goodness for the MCU.

Would you buy this cookbook?

[Digifiend]

Why would Vizh take up cookery, when he can't eat? And since when is Stark a book publisher? They're a tech firm!

Vision and the Scarlet Witch #3 Jan 1983
"Blood Brothers!" Guest-starring the Avengers.
The Vision has collapsed after losing his left arm in the battle against Isbisa in the previous issue.

Now only an energy transfer from Wonder Man can save him.

The transfusion seems to be going very well at the hospital...until the Grim Reaper arrives.

Avengers Lineup: Captain America, Hawkeye, Iron Man, She-Hulk, Thor, and the Wasp.

Hammond being Vision was retconned out, wasn't it? They co-exist now.

It was coverred in the West Coast Avengers I think.
The Immortus did some crazy shit resulting in two of Hammond's bodies exist. One of them is used by Ultron to create Vision, the other came back from the dead.

I wish this could be used as inspiration for the debut of the MCU Jim Hammond aka the original Human Torch in 2019's Avengers 4, to coincide with the character's 80th anniversary.

Right, since this thread has been bumped, does anyone have any idea what'll happen to Vision after No Surrender ends? I still find it hard to believe he's off the team - that usually only happens if he's dead.
