    I read this an thought it was terrific. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Really a great read. Gage does it again!

    While its cool that the Vision finally gets some attention, its a bummer that it has to happen in an annual as a standalone story. I want him back as an active member dammit.

    I was shocked, actually, with how much I enjoyed this issue. I was hoping for...well, exactly what we got: A powerful telling of Vision's take on the world since he was re-animated.

    This was a perfect issue. Completely perfect.
    Freedom is the ability to live without fear of persecution. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less.

    I liked the story but found the art to be a major distraction. Sometimes Vision looks like Brett Spiner, which I suppose makes some sense (android struggling to understand humanity/be human), but also made him bland. The action sequences were difficult to follow at times, and the grimy overlays to the coloring made the art an overall eyesore.

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why some reviews don't have comment buttons on them?

    A very important issue in the fate of the Vision and quite a it happened:
    -Vision has Image Inducing capabilities, finally on par with Vostok.
    -Cheap gimmick to get Power Woman back but smart use of her daughter for a Vision character moment.
    -Carol thinks Vizh has a soul just like everyone does and did based on conflicting evidence.
    -Carol has a bad hair day.
    -Todd Hamilton is NOW! CEO of ROXXON.
    -Closed Avengers Academy Staff are still on call apparently as is Rambeau and Lightning.
    -Cannonball given undo props as a goto speedster apparently. Manifold must have had the day off.
    -Giant-man looks super... silly drinking from a widdle biddy coffee cup.
    -Vision is as effective a hero as he ever was. I missed him.
    -Stark and Pym aren't as smart as they think they are.
    -ROXXON is as redoubtably recyclable as HYDRA is with yet another crazy scheme minutes from completion. Good for Vizh for trashing the place.
    -Sunturion returns to Limbo.
    -Vision quits??!! It looks like he will try a career as on-call hero and to maybe dabble as part-time dad.
    -Overall, the panel images were good in some panels and bad in others. This was a good panel:

    Yet another typo. It said Hulking, not Hulkling.
    Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker, Professor X, Mar-Vell, Richard Rider- Bring Them Back!!!
