The Visions [Marvel Premier Collection]

Eisner Award-Winner: Best Limited Series (Tom King & Gabriel Hernandez Walta)
Eisner Award-Winner: Best Colorist (Jordie Bellaire)

Presented in a newly designed book-format edition.

The android Avenger known as 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 as a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his destiny and imagined that he could be more — that he could be a man. There, he builds them. A wife, Virginia. Teenage twins, Viv and Vin. They look like him. They have his powers. They share his grandest ambition (or obsession): the unrelenting need to be ordinary. Behold the Visions! Theirs is a story of togetherness and tragedy — one that will set the former Avenger on course for a devastating confrontation with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Acclaimed creators Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta present one of the 21st century’s most celebrated Marvel comics!
