10 Things We Learned From Marvel’s “All-New, All-Different” Relaunch
8. The Vision Is The All-Newest, All-Different-est Comic In The Line
Perhaps no "All-New, All-Different" Marvel title sounds as unique -- or as interesting -- as The Vision, the first ongoing series for Marvel's resident android. As writer Tom King described it in an interview with IGN:
Maybe Vision wants to be ordinary; he wants to be human -- and what’s more ordinary than family? So Vision creates a family, finds them a home, and tries to live an ordinary life. But that act, creating life, leads to problems he could not possibly imagine, problems that may lead him to doubt his need to be human.
The idea of The Vision playing God (or Hank Pym), but at the same time doing it with the hopes of having a normal family life, is a brilliant hook. Yes, Marvel does good guys fighting bad guys better than anybody, but something different like this has a chance of becoming a real sleeper hit. Plus, with former "Magneto" artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta drawing, the visuals are sure to be as compelling as the book's premise.
