The Marvel Comics universe resonates with fans by digging deeper into the lives of it’s characters and enabling us to relate to them on a personal level, even if they can fly and manipulate their own density.
Despite being an android, The Vision has wrestled with many different conflicts throughout his history, dealing with philosophical, personal, and human issues. The Vision “even dealt with his painful past by building his own family with fellow hero Scarlet Witch”. This left “the synthezoid Avenger emotionally and physically destroyed for a time”. Now, after being rebuilt in more ways than one, the Vision is ready to take another swing and give family life a chance once again.
“This November, writer Tom King makes his Marvel Comics debut alongside artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta and colorist Jordie Bellaire on "The Vision." The character's first ongoing series will chronicle the Vision's new life living in the suburbs with a family of synthezoids he created as he attempts to balance his responsibilities as a superhero with the family life he craves."
Sharing his excitement on for taking on “The Vision” solo title, King said
"So when they said it was the Vision I was over the moon! Because number one, I was an Avengers junkie! That was my comic growing up. It was the one I always clung to. Then number two was that he's never had his own solo series. He had the "Vision & Scarlet Witch" series, but he's never really been spotlighted that way. And with the exposure the movie (Avengers: Age of Ultron) has given him, it's sort of this chance to do something incredibly new with a character that was already incredibly established. So it was the best of both worlds. He has the name recognition, but he's still a blank slate to work with, so it's like a writer's dream."
CBR News spoke with King about the importance of family to the Vision, what kind of role the Vision's wife and children will have in the book and the suburban area of Washington D.C. they'll call home.
