Best Issue of 2016: VISION #4

Writer Tom King wrote quite the masterpiece with Marvel's Vision this past year. It will definitely go down in history as a legendary book in league with Watchmen and Sin City and Preacher. I didn't like it as much as some of the critics, however, mainly because it was way too depressing and dark and also, more or less, just a super-hero version of the movie American Beauty. But I admit that a few of the issues were emotional powerhouses. This particular issue had a light, playful opening that spoofed Charlie Brown trying to kick the football that Lucy always moves. It had a heart-warming talk at school between Viv, the robot daughter, and her "crush." And it had a shocking, gut-punch of an ending that made you dying to read the next issue. Just a stellar piece of work.

  1. If you have a minute, I’d really appreciate it if you took a look at Emily’s Virtual Rocket. This is a serious newsblog which has been taken from e-newspapers and e-magazines from around the world, with an emphasis on transgender issues. Also, with his election, I look for articles which critique Donald Trump.
