Fan Retrospectives: Vision: Part 12: Spring
Writer Tom King and artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta created a strange premise for the old-school Avenger Vision. They gave him a family. On paper, Vision with family hijinks sounds ridiculous and cheesy, but instead, it turned out to be a haunting, character-defining master class on comic storytelling. Let's break down 2015's Vision series. "Spring" Writer: Tom King Artist: Gabrielle Hernandez Walta Color Artist: Jordie Bellaire Letterer: VC's Clayton Cowles Review by Eric Lee Vin and Victor are both dead. Vision's wife Virginia murdered Victor in an attempt to prevent a vengeful Vision from crossing over to the dark side. We open with Detective Lin- the same detective who interrogated Vision when CK- the teenage classmate of his daughter Viv-was murdered. Another detective is regaling Lin with some random anecdote about someone named "Roger Daneel". The name "Roger Daneel" is an homage to a robot detective named R. Daneel Olivaw.
