The Vision #7 - "P Vs. NP"

[laughing_tree]

"THE VISION feels to me so much like a book of the past. I feel like I'm following the formula set forth in SWAMP THING, SANDMAN, and ANIMAL MAN: Take a hero seriously, connect that hero to the real world, then watch the world crumble." -- Tom King

I've only been able to catch this on the comm, but I'm digging the way it's written. I never really thought Vision was the sort of character who could carry his own title (his own arc definitely), but I like the sci-fi/morality slice-of-life-and-MURDER thing happening here.

And the dog is creepy but also weirdly cute.

So...is this going to lead to some sort of crossover where Vision tries to android up most of the world or something?

I really feel for the family. But I hope Vision and Vivian start talking now.

God. This feels so personal, so much like my family I hate it.

I'm liking this comic. But, after all the proper comp-sci in Squirrel Girl, the cringeworthy comp-sci in this issue was… cringeworthy.

To be fair, Agatha Harkness' narration does mention that she's taking creative liberties to help get her point across.

This book has been consistently amazing and incredibly creepy. The real question is, though, how far down this rabbit hole of "doing anything for his family" can Vision go? How far can he go before he crosses a line than damages him as a character?

Dear god, do they... do they just sit at an empty table of place settings while he drones on? Those poor people.

My theory on the endgame: The dog is going to be the catalyst for the unraveling of the Vision's suburban-family-life experiment. If he used the brain patterns of the neighbors' (mysteriously vanished) dog for a template, then the artificial dog is going to react to the neighbors in ways that will strike them as... familiar. And that will raise uncomfortable questions.

Is this book described as an ongoing? Because given all the portents of doom and destruction, I don't see how this arc can resolve in a way that leaves them a way out.
