HERE LIES A VISION
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ITS SOUL
He'll be fine.

AW YISS
Walta said this is the best issue.
Let's see, shall we?
>mfw came onto /co/ on a whim just in time for the start of this
>>84464418
oh god
>>84464442
Vibranium is drugs now?
>>84464382
I'M NOT READY AAAHHH
>>84464458
When you're a robot, apparently.
>>84464382
Good shit. Need something to wash the taste of Bendis out of my mouth
>>84464382
Ah shit, motherfucker, I forgot it was Wednesday.
>>84464487
Defo drugs.
>>84464410It really was[\spoiler], but I think the issue where vision finds the from reaper was just as good
>>84464487
This is gonna end up with dead Runaways, isn't it?
>>84464507
>Grim reaper
>>84464525
fuck yeah
>>84464382
Time for the superior comic regarding the perils of predicting the future
>>84464559
That won't end well.
>>84464570
Yyyyep
>>84464570
Welp, one predicted death just happened!
fucking clankers, bunch of vibranium junkies all of them.
>>84464605
yikes
>>84464605
Fuck
>>84464618
FUCK
Well, that was something.
>>84464430
>damn
OH SHIT
Thanks for reading, folks.
Go buy the v1 trade. Buy the official release.
Have a nice day.
Am I the only one who doesn't like this comic? I understand they're robots, but it seems like an excuse for the really clunky ass dialogue.
I feel like Victor is getting the shaft.
>>84464632
Jesus Fucking Christ
thanks OP
>>84464632
rip.
>>84464658
it has pretentious moments, it's ok, not top good as everybody says here.
>>84464632
Kill them all Vis, kill them all
>>84464750
You're entitled to your opinion, but pretentious is a meaningless criticism. It could mean literally anything
>>84464658
The dialogue flows just fine for me. Great lines, too.
>>84464382
haven't read this series, but am now going to buy vol1, thanks OP
All this could have been avoided had Victor bullshitted a decent excuse. Instead he freaks out, and kills a 2 androids.
>>84464931
Hmm, it's almost as if the majority of this issue was spent explaining why Vic was behaving strangely
Fuck this, just fuck this.
>>84464605
Hey man, Virginia was using that piano you damn vibraddict. Now it's probably out of tune and shit. Sheesh.
Do we know long this series is gonna last yet?
Clearly, the only solution is for best mommy to kill her brother-in-law with extreme prejudice. What a fuck stick.
>>84465143
12 issues, that's how long King said he was going to write it for.
>>84465143
12 issues. It's even mentioned in this issues letters page.
I just read the first issue of this it's pretty good.
I disagree with them about facts without context but I do have to wonder about the vase.
I don't think I would want most comic books to be like to be like this.
But I'm glad this one is.
>>84464931
Well gee anon, you're right. Why didn't the robot equivalent of a meth junkie act calmly and rationally in a bad situation?
>>84464931
Logical thinking is not what junkies are known for, not when they find their next big stash and a kid shows up that could ruin everything.
Well poop. Shit just goin' from bad to worse.
>>84465187
My grandmother says it's because it looks pretty
Vibranium, not even once.
>>84465187
The second issue really pulled me out of the story with the censored swearing I could tolerate it in the recent hellblazer stuff but it's really distracting here.
I'm really enjoying this series so far. Its quite gripping.
>>84465382
The second bit of censorship wasent as bad.
Still bad simply by being censorship but nowhere near as jaring.
>>84464658
That's alright, not everybody understands comikino
>84463687
here you go
Huh, good, they didn't kill off best Vision. I find i really like Viv for some reason.
>>84465516
Is it the cute face?
>>84465516
Have you heard about Champions yet?
>>84464487
>just throw away the most valuable material on the planet
gg Chase
>>84464632
RIP Vin. You didn't even survive long enough to be a villain.
>>84464883
>pretentious is a meaningless criticism
Its thrown around so much that I completely write off at this point. I guess anything is a buzzword when misused enough times.
>>84464487
Fuck you, Chase. Yours was the worst team ever.
>>84464534
NOBODY READ THAT BOOK!
Since Ultron's body is (usually) made of vibranium, could it be that he's actually a pretty nice person but it's in constant withdrawal because his own body doesn't make him feel good anymore?
>>84464570
Ah, it was an accident.
>>84464418
Vision sucks at being a dad.
>>84465693
>Let's teenage son have a little privacy and try new things
>bad dad
I don't know what kind of house you grew up in anon.
>>84464471
The Runaways had it rough.
>>84464618
Sorry, Vin.
You just weren't gay, girly, or ethnic enough for the new Marvel paradigm.
>>84465683
Adamantium, Anon. His body is made of Adamantium.
>>84465229
>Why didn't the robot equivalent of a meth junkie act calmly and rationally in a bad situation?
Are we going to see a new supply of blue vibranium that Vic wasn't looking for?
>>84465681
Does "read" require actually paying for it, or do storytimes on /co/ count?
>>84465738
Pure adamantium? I thought to remember that it was an alloy that included vibranium (like Cap's shield but with different proportions)
Maybe I'm getting confused with the movie
Ok, sorry
>>84465728
He is a mechanical lifeform and red-skinned. That is pretty ethnic.
>>84464605
This is rough.
>>84465728
He's not even human.
You can't get more ethnic than that
So let me get this right. If the Avengers hadn't sent Vic on mole duty the prophecy would have fallen apart.
Seriously Harkness isn't the only precog the Avengers could consult.
> all these comments
YES WE GET IT A BAD THING HAPPENED, THANKS YOUTUBE COMMENT SECTION
>>84465787
He's a robotic native American? And Marvel killed him off?
I'm triggered. Robotic native Americans deserve equality in all media!
>>84464711
Yeah turning him into an addict kinda sucks.
>>84464750
The worst bit I have seen so far was the bit about Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's mostly pretty good.
>>84465722
>Family already screws up.
>Son and young Uncle are both gone.
>>84465897
Vision is a modern father.
If his child wants to have apseudo-incestous gay relationship with his uncle who is he to forbid it?
>>84465897
His wife is the only screw-up. And she was right there in the house where she should be.
>>84465988
Virginia has only acted in defense of her family
>>84464632
I hope he kills every single one of those bastards. Go full Black Adam Vision.
>>84464750
Only "pretentious" moment so far was Vision and Viktor looking at Mickey Mouse painting.
>>84466076
And she fucked up hardcore every time.
>>84465728
I laughed but fuck off, this is King's story. Marlel ain't gonna interfere shit.
>>84465761
>a new supply of blue vibranium that Vic wasn't looking for?
We mean the Arctic Vibranium? I don't think there's any of it left.
>>84465728
Pretty much.
Notice that we a confirmation that Visionette definitely survives.
>>84465535
D'aww, look at those nightmarish blank optics and that pink fleshlight synth-flesh.
>>84465568
I just did, thanks anon. Cool.
>>84464750
I honestly can't believe people are giving you all these legitimate (you)s for that.
But, hey, you got mine, so you did something right, you fucking tasteless faggot.
>>84466189
Like me, King's from DC (he actually went to school with my wife), and he knew that that exhibit actually is currently on display in the district. So I don't think it's so much pandering as it is applicable to the real world and would have been near the forefront of his mind.
>>84464632
Shit status: Real.
>>84464559
no blood/guts/broken body parts (yet) but this is really brutal
>>84465765
I don't think anyone even storytimed most of it.
>>84464410
The coded stuff seemed a bit odd at first but the more I think about it the more it works.
>>84464487
>Just trashed fucking vibranium

Sad this whole turn of events will be forgotten in a year and everyone will be buddies again for the next film.
>>84464632
is the dog dead too?
>>84464570
I was not expecting it to be an accident.
Then again I was not expecting it to take so long.
>>84464656
i love this fucked up pym family
>>84465728
But prejudice is a major theme does that not count for something.
>>84465988
>His wife is the only screw-up
what was Vision thinking using Scarlet Witches brain patterns?
>>84464514
>Torturing a teenager to keep your betrayal betray his father which you're his brother.
>Definitely materials Avengers
>>84466731
Well, it's not like the Justice League didn't have his junkie tooAlso by now the title of Avenger is basically meaningless
>>84464410
>Barefoot Viv
Haha do you guys think synthezoid girls are ticklish? Just wondering for laughs haha.
>>84465143
12. Would be longer but DC Exclusive Contract won't wait.
>>84464582
>THINGS UNWORTHY OF AN AVENGER
Like what? take possession of the hammer and the power of God?
Bombs to destroy worlds could be inhabited?
Create a list of the strengths and weaknesses of your comrades and make weapons to eliminate them if they become a threat?
Brainwash innocent citizens with a virus design that makes them look physically attractive in exchange for a daily payment?
>>84464382
This is racsit.
>>84465646
Fuck off my favorite team.
>>84466830
>Brainwash innocent citizens with a virus design that makes them look physically attractive in exchange for a daily payment?
Come on, that wasnt his fault
>>84464605
>The Avengers do not kill!!!!!
Sure....
>>84466788
Wouldn't it be funny if she dug up Kinzkys body and got it to tickle her haha
>>84466881
which one was that?
>>84466925
Superior Iron-Man
>>84466925
Axis? When some heroes became evil dicks and villains became heroes? Specifically Superior Iron Man
>>84464632
>Literally Tony, Jane and Sam are responsible for the death of the son of Vision.
No problem! He was not really a human being so that in the eyes of the law no crime to pursue!
>>84466937
In the Marvel Universe you can commit an unforgivable crime, but never pay for if you're a "superhero"
>>84464656
>you want to know what happens next?
yes but also no
>>84464632
Guys, I think he might be okay.
>>84464711
He'll be dead by issue 12 anyway, the narrator confirmed it.The neighbours' house burning came true as well.
>>84467041
>his neurostuff could not be repaired
Yep deffo alive and well.
>>84464382
This is my favorite comic running right now. Thanks for storytiming it.
Really wish I could support it financially.
>>84464711
>Runaways character not being written by Vaughan
Of course he's getting the shaft.
>>84467093
It's a limited series ending at #12. Nothing to support here, it's fine if you buy the trades, and TPB2 won't be out until December. So no worries.
>>84467171
I believe Alonso and King both said they wanted the book to continue, but the sales weren't there. Marvel really pushed the hell out of it too, literally giving copies away to retailers and putting it in the back of Spider-Man/Deadpool #1 for no extra cost.
But you know how it goes. /co/ has been singing its praises since the first issue hit, yet there's still new people who discover it far too late. When it's a Marvel or DC book, unless it "matters" to the overall universe, it's a tough sell.
>>84464656
>Makes a genocidal robot
>Gets a fucked up family
>>84467233
>but the sales weren't there.
and it is literally the only Marvel title I buy anymore.
a shame really
>>84467233
>tfw when i bought each issue and it dies anyway
its probably a good thing, they couldnt keep this level of intensity up for very long/
>>84464656
The family reunions must be great.
>>84467233
I don't see how it could have gone for much longer, unless they started to decompress the fuck out of each issueand even in this one what actually happens is really little, it's just that there is a good, entertaining flashback that explains the motives
What would they have done? Kill all the family and then have Vision repeat the process from the beginning?
>>84464582
jesus thats sad
>>84466528
I read the (maybe?) 6 issues of Avengers A.I. Not a bad read, but not much happens. The villain ends up being an electronic version of that equality guy fron Korra. Worth reading for Doombot, though.
>>84464410
Who's Walta?
>>84466414
B-but Agatha used the mystical energies of Wundagore...it's not like they emanaye from an evil asshole so the precog must be true.
>>84465821

>>84464570
It's HaPpEnInG!!!
>>84464641
Lol, so may DC plugs. They're letting King get away with anything at this point.
>>84465835
fighting_redskins.gif
>>84464548
Seriously, why isn't King writing CWII instead of "Can't Writing Multiple Voices Or Believable Motivations To Save My Life" Bendis?
>>84464632
No.
Oh no.
Why.
>>84468009
Until Batman, King was never a big seller. Events are reserved for Somebodies like Bendis (who's probably written more events than anybody), Hickman, Remender, Aaron, Fraction, Millar...
>>84466756
it's not meaningless but it has exactly 0 relation to being "good" or "honorable" or "right" or any of the thigs people first think of when you mention the word superHERO.
>>84467319
This needs an update with the new family.
>>84467492
The Artist
>>84464462
I know he's panicking but that's clearly not helping ease the situation.
>>84465535
Do they have eyebrows?
>>84464632
With blood and rage of crimson red...
guys quick question: how can i expect the 12 issues to be collected later? paperback and hardcover?
>>84469236
Probably two 6 issue trades then a hardcover that collects all 12 together.
>>84464471
but all of those fights were easy and at least half of them ended when Molly punched them through a building
>>84466756
>Also by now the title of Avenger is basically meaningless
While gives them money for Disney the Avengers can be Nazi war criminals Mars transsexuals who traveled back in time to kill John Lenon
>>84468149
>>84469337
It was more meant as that basically everyone is or has been an Avenger by now
If you don't consider the X-Men (and they have a good number of Avengers too) basically all the A, B and C-listers have been an Avenger at one point
>>84469236
Two trades, six issues each
If they both sell well enough, it'll get a hardcover with all 12 at some point
The first is already out and sold 3,566
>>84467744
what're they going to do, fire him?
>>84470344
They can edit those out or not publish those questions but they won't because they know what King's worth.
>>84469427
The point of an avengers book is to give some story to characters that can't hold their own. Seems to be lost on most writers though
>>84471078
blame Bendis, who thought it would be cool if Wolverine and Spider-man were on the Avengers
>>84471103
Oh i do. It started happening before him but he was the worst culprit
Whose house where they in?
How and what did Vin even find out?
>>84471374
perhaps try reading comics
>>84471374
Read the last issue.
>>84471405
>read comics
Fuck that
Brutal.
I wonder if pymtron will show up?
>>84472561
This series appears to be REALLY self-contained, so it's unlikely
If Vision and Pymtron were to meet it would most likely happen in the pages of Uncanny/ANAD Avengers
>>84466616
Good god, I hope not
>>84464458
It makes sense in a way, Vibranium either absorbs or reflects vibration depending upon how it is used. I could see it having some kind of weird effect on machines built that are built on the cellular level. It probably vibrates at the exact opposite of the passive vibrations the more mechanical parts give off or something.
Eventually the user would become used to the sensation and need more or something else.
It might also cause machines to malfunction because extra stress and vibrations are being sent back through them rather than being absorbed by more mundane materials.
>>84464570
It had been such a long time since the last time my jaw dropped while reading a comic. Such a good feling.

THE STATE OF THE RUNAWAYS
>>84464430
That "MOMMY" panel hits me in the feels. Like holy fuck. The just everything is just hitting me this comic is so good in the way that it hurts and feels bad to read. It really is like watching a car crash in slow motion.
Is the narrator still Agatha Harkness? Why would they change the color of the boxes.
>>84474243
It's pretty brutal, specially when you realize that he was in agonizing pain for the entire issue.
>>84474288
It is hypothesized that the color change means that Scarlet Witch has taken over telling Agatha's story. That Agatha already told her and she is relaying the information to them.
>>84474288
Wanda?
Pymtron? (Fuck is he going to make shit even worse?)
Chthon? (Fuck did he prank Agatha?)
Manual reminder that the first TPB just came out, and it is your duty to buy a copy.
>>84473931
If you use extra vents for your computer eventually it gets addicted to them because the circuits mold to that heay or something
>Makes Victor into a fucking junkie.
yet another reason to hate king and his books. too bad he is shitting up dc now
>>84474798
>A PC is the same as an AI.
AI probably have background diagnostics running constantly to help them mimic the concept of sensation and tactile feeling. The extra vibrations could potentially futz with these sensors and cause weird results from the diagnostic cycle which would result in a new 'sensation' that the AI hasn't felt before. Something that isn't what its databanks record as pain or pleasure. The diagnostics eventually take the extra vibrations as a constant and filter them out as a controlled result with normal parameters similar to different gravity values from different planets or etc. When that happens the vibranium no longer 'works' and different source of vibranium must be found to create a similar feedback that is different enough to fool the diagnostic subsystems into not filtering out the sensation.
There I just figured out how vibranium could potentially be some form of addictive substance to certain types of AI.
>>84474924
First we had Bitch Aaron
then Bitch Ewing
but there must always beA BITCH KING
>>84474924
The Avengers encouraged his addiction when Iron Man had struggled with addiction in the past.
Everyone is worse for this development.
>>84475097
I feel like the whole point of this will be that Vision was just trying to be normal and have a life outside of being a superhero, and that his 'friends' on the Avengers got worried because that wasn't normal. I feel like it is also pointing out that a lot of the Avengers are people in a glass house throwing stones through Vision's front window.
I just worry, and I am honestly frightened, that Vision will end this series by simply erasing his memories of the rest of his family. I worry that he will come to the logical conclusion that he can't exist with the memories of his family murdered by the Avengers and not have an emotional response resulting in their deaths, but to do that would accomplish nothing and only result in leaving the world vulnerable.
The end line will be something like "The Vision has saved the world 38 times, he knows that number, but he cannot remember the 38th time. It is not listed in any of his memory banks or any public record, but something in his core programming insists that he has saved the world 38 times..." to mirror how he kept remembering that he has saved the world 37 times with the Avengers.
>>84467140
It's really telling how badly the others have been handled when I'm actually liking how this is going down.
>>84464750
Even if this were true, pretentious shit is better than 99% of Marvel's output in recent years.
What even was up with the Vibrojunkie subplot, seems kinda random
>>84475583
I wonder if that is also a comment on how unheroic the heroes in Marvel have been acting recently, that we not only are perfectly happy to believe they would send a junkie spy into a house with children and cause the death of their 'friend's son, but we also want them to pay for it.
>>84475791
Maybe that he was mentally unstable, that the Avengers knew this and still pushed him into it, and perhaps that he was 'high' from the piano which caused him to miscalculate and kill Vin.
>>84475859
>>84475791
Also, it could be a statement that sometimes newer isn't always best. The comic before this they had a commentary that Vision was the older model and while he was more powerful than Vic, because Vic was a newer model he could be considered more human than Vision.
But that humanity also left him open to things like addiction which doesn't affect the Vision family.
God, this comic is so goddamn great.
Does this take place before Civil War 2 do you think?
>>84464382
Oh god my body is not ready for this

>>84475252
I want to see Vision imagining what he'd do, some kind of Adrian Veidt plot to take down the avengers. But if this is how it ends, I don't know how I could stand to enjoy any avengers afterwards. Vision might forget, but the reader wouldn't.
>>84464570
Greatest pay off in comic history
>>84464570
So was everything that witch said just some foreboding shit taken completely out of context?
>>84464582
So how long was he sitting on on the chair?
>>84464632
And that's how you create a monster
>the avengers sent an unstable robo junkie to spy on the visions
Smart move.
>>84467012
>unforgivable crime
All Tony did was show everyone how sweet his product was. You don't flip out on people who give you free samples, do you?
>>84473931
I read it as more "Painkiller addiction" than something more sinister. Look at the source of his problems: pain, both physical and emotional. He's using the Vibranium as medication, but doesn't regulate it well and thus became addicted.
Because robots.
Overall, though, as a big Runaways fan, I love and hate this. I hate that he's gonna die and that he's a junkie. But on the other hand, it's extremely well done and kind of tragically beautiful.
>>84474243
Yes, that's the exact feeling I have. For all the characters involved.
. . .
I hope Victor gets better. He's done it before.
>>84466819
King could have stayed on. Exclusive contracts have a clause for books you're writing before you sign. It's why Lemire can do another Teen Titans Earth One book.
It's 12 because he only plotted 12, and because the book isn't selling well.
Is it just me, or does it seem now a days Marvel heroes kill each other more than the actual villains?
>>84476586
It was a self fufilling prophecy. By attempting to discover how The Vision was going to go evil and kill them they ended up setting things up to bring about the very future they were afraid of... Kind of an important message considering Civil War 2 and what just happened with Hulk.
>>84476962
>now a days
Try since the 90s.
So how will they justify Viv staying alive to join Marvel's Teen Titans? Did King have ANY input on that?
>>84477247
presumably they asked him if any Vision kids were going to survive the series before creating that cover
>>84464582
>We fear that if we confront him with unfounded accusations, it could trigger the very event we're trying to prevent
This coming out the same day as Civil War II #3 is some real fucking pottery.
>>84469233
>>84477444
No script is safe from Bendis now.
>>84477444
checked
>>84477668
>yfw Bendis stole all of his latest idea from this comic, and then butchered them.
>>84467041
I think your in denial
>>84467171
If you support it it shows marvel people like this sort of thing.
Then again this is marvel they would probably think people want all there comics to be like this or something
>>84467322
>have Vision repeat the process from the beginning
Works for hellblazer but I think it would fall apart here
>>84464605
Wait so what does the Vibranium allow Vin to do again?
>>84464656
Thanks, picking up this issue and onward
>>84479183
it only works for Hellblazer because it's all John's fault, not someone else's
>>84465835
I'm pretty sure they got there native American quota by changing the mascot.
>>84479192
Get fucking high.
>>84477444
Bendis is probably stupid enough to claim they take place at the same time to.
>>84477653
