After watching WandaVision I found myself wondering just what differences there were between the show and the comics that inspired it and so this is where I chose to begin. I didn't realize going into it (and I should have based on the title) that it was going to span an entire year's worth of holidays/significant events. (They even cover tax season which I found very amusing.) If like me you have never read any of the Marvel comics at all then this is a really interesting (and very confusing) place to begin. For one thing, there's a whole host of characters that I had never heard of and the assumption is that as a reader you're very familiar with all of them (luckily they do tell you which issues to go back and read for more info). So a lot of the backstory was unknown to me and at times this was a hindrance to my understanding but I got the hang of it after a while and found myself thinking of these two characters in a very different light from the cinematic universe. For one thing, Scarlet Witch is a mutant and a witch in this series while the Vision has recently discovered that while he's a synthetic being at his core he's a human. The central idea of this volume is that Vision and the Scarlet Witch have decided that they want a different kind of life but this proves rather harder in practice than in theory to accomplish.

Overall, it was a pretty fun series. It's definitely a product of its time so there are for sure some outdated concepts and references. The art was *chef's kiss* and the sass gave me LIFE.

PS Pietro is the worst. I have no idea if he has a redemption arc later on down the line but ugh I couldn't stand him. ( )
