Published Jan. 6, 2016 by Marvel.
The Vision wants to be human, and what's more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning, to the laboratory where Ultron created him and molded him into a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his given destiny and imagined that he could be more -that he could be a man. There, he builds them. A wife, Virginia. Two teenage twins, Viv and Vin. They look like him. They have his powers. They share his grandest ambition (or is that obsession?) the unrelenting need to be ordinary. Behold the Visions! They’re the family next door, and they have the power to kill us all. What could possibly go wrong? Artificial hearts will be broken, bodies will not stay buried, the truth will not remain hidden, and the Vision will never be the same.

I think I'm in a place where I love all comics I read. This is a lie of course but I liked this one even if the plot is a bit predictable. Have a go, it's about robots :)

This is probably a review / critique of both volumes: it felt to me like this could have been so much better. It was affecting, and you felt sorry for the robots, but for them to have such pathetic human failings felt both unlikely given their supposed superior intellect, and also quite unsatisfying.
Suburban ennui Marvel style. It's part Frankenstein, part American Beauty, with a dash of Bladerunner. What does it mean to be human? Why are their lives so empty and devoid of meaning?
A surprisingly compelling counterpoint to the current poptimistic stories being told with Marvel characters.
