The Vision, Volume 1: Little Worse Than A Man by Tom King
4.0
This was not what I was expecting at all.
All I know about The Vision prior to reading this was in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War. This takes place in the main Marvel universe where The Vision has created a family for himself, and moved them to D.C. suburbia to experience a nice, normal life. Except when synthezoids and supervillains are involved, "normal" takes on a whole new meaning.
This book delves into the meaning of humanity, what we treasure and why, and the facades that hide so much of peoples' true feelings and motives in our everyday lives. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of Vision at work with his family trying to fit in with suburban life. The children at school were a mix of familiar, touching, and frightening as they hit points where they are shown to be not normal.
I read this since it was nominated for a Hugo, but I may have to seek out the next volume to see what happens next for this family.
