I enjoyed this one a lot more than volume 1. Maybe it was because Vision and his family were more "human" than the first comic. Plus backstory that was needed in book 1 with Wanda!!! Put together I enjoyed the story throughout and definitely a sad ending. ( )

Continuing from the first volume, we find our characters seemingly back to normal (or as close as they can get to it). However, there are suspicions about Vision being responsible not only for the Grim Reaper's disappearance but also the death of a child who had an altercation with his son, Vin. Tensions mount and the Avengers quietly begin an investigation which quickly goes south when their mole is discovered. [If you want violence you've come to the right place.]

My one gripe with this book was the ending which struck me as hastily wrapped up and somewhat confusing...although that could just be me not interpreting the illustrations correctly. (If you've read this can you please explain the final panels to me please?) ( )

I think Tom King's tics are a little too on display here (narrator reveals and repetition galore) but for the most part this is a strong ending - the ticking time bomb of part one finally goes off, and in a great way. ( )

the first volume of the Vision was really bloody good. this second volume is absolutely incredible, completely blew me away.
I find that it takes a lot more from a trade paperback comic collection for me to get really emotionally involved and for me to feel all the feels. this one slipped right under my skin and completely thrilled my with the depth of feeling it stirred up.
Probably hyperbole as it's difficult to remember everything I've read, but I'd say it's the best trade paperback I've ever read. Slowly builds up to an uncomfortably harrowing finale and a beautifully touching epilogue.
6 stars from me. ( )
