Vision

#1 comic to recommend to non-comic reading friends

I read comics and I enjoy recommending comics to my friends that I think they will enjoy. Often my friends aren't as well versed in comics as me, and let's be honest, a lot of Marvel, DC, and even Image comics can be overwhelming to try to get into if you don't know backstories and histories. So finding the perfect graphic novel or TPB (trade paper back - a collection of single issues that is usually a cohesive story) can be difficult. But this comic, right here, by Tom King is nothing short of genius. The way I like to describe it to people unfamiliar with comics is simply - art. This is good art. This is what the medium of comic books, when done right, can look like. If you are on the fence about buying it, this is what I have told multiple friends before buying it for them as gifts to see if they would like it: "A harrowing and deeply probing look into the family life of Avenger’s favorite android. In a quest to be more human, the Vision makes himself a family and tries to live a wholesome suburban life. But things aren’t what they seem after initial conflict enters into his quiet life. Foreboding, tense, and philosophical, this 12 issue run tugs at the heart strings while simultaneously making you reel back in horror. Beautifully drawn and colored, and has some of the best usage of narration in modern day comics." If that sounds good to you, please do yourself a favor and take a chance on it. I haven't heard one complaint against it yet from those who I have given it to. Read more
