I was quite excited to be able to see something of the Vision and the Scarlet Witch’s relationship. Having read some of the details in previous comic books, I jumped at the chance to purchase this one.
I found the relationship between Wanda and the Vision to be quite a fascinating concept, since they’re both markedly different to the others. I found it easy to believe in their feelings for each other, despite the Vision being artificial. I felt a lot of the artwork showed their feelings, even if some of the dialogue didn’t seem to flow as naturally as it could have done.
While the first story was interesting, I was very confused about why one of the characters was marrying a tree. I didn’t feel like that was explained very well… although it was good to see some of the other Avengers appear and how they interacted with each other.
I found the second set of comics to be quite intriguing as well. It was interesting to see Wanda and the Vision retire, but still have problems to face and battles to fight even though they’re supposed to be out of it. I did enjoy seeing Wanda and Pietro… and it was also nice to see a few scenes where Pietro apparently accepted the Vision.
I thought it was good to see Wanda and the Vision fighting alongside each other, as well as the romance between them. I did like seeing the Vision showing his different abilities and I thought it was interesting to see that he could in fact be harmed, since he seems invincible a lot of the time.
I would have liked to see a bit more in the way of interaction between the Vision and Simon. I thought the artwork did a good job of showcasing the differences when the Vision was in a coma… and despite it being a bit wordy, it was good to be able to put some words to how the Vision and Wanda felt about each other.
There were some nice pieces of artwork and although the Vision and Wanda did have problems outside, I thought that they had a sweet relationship… which makes me sad to think of what I know is going to happen later on.
