AVENGERS (vol 3) #12: Vision and Wanda

[starwolf_oakley]

AVENGERS (vol 3) #12: Vision and Wanda talk some things over before and after the big Thunderbolts team up against a giant alien robot (called Dominex.) Note the pretty Perez artwork.





Vision mentions where he and Wanda went on their honeymoon. And it isn't what the Vision is saying, but how he is saying it.



Yes, the Vision just got his memories back *and* the emotional connection to them.
How? Comics!



Vision doesn't want Wanda to feel guilty and doesn't want to feel guilty himself. He just doesn't want to intrude... or something. The big fight against Dominex interrupts matters.

Kurt Busiek wanted to mix Silver Age idealism with 1990s complexity. I think he succeeded for the most part.

I could gripe about Bendis for entire pages, but it is like he only read John Byrne's WEST COAST AVENGERS run and just went with that. It really bugs me sometimes, and I'm not as big a continuity geek as many others. (And I'm a BIG continuity geek.)

Was this the sequence where his phasing is screwed up and he terrifies Wanda as he comes through the wall?

[starwolf_oakley]

No, that was in issue 4 or 5... I think.

That would have been when he was a hologram in Avenger's Mansion while his body was being repaired in the basement after Morgan Le Fay damaged him when she recreated the world to her design. This is after he has been repaired

Oooh yeah, the Medieval Avengers, only George Perez would redesign something like 35 characters for a two or three issue story, just for the challenge, and make them look quite so spectacular!

I know, and some of the redesign were amazing. While they were different designs, you could tell who they were. A few of them were tricky to pick. Plus they gave everyone new names as well.

I still love George Perez's all (at the time) Avengers/Justice League art. George Perez is one of my favourite artists.
