*Marvel: In our ongoing series focusing on key events in the ‘Wandavision’ TV hit, we turn this week to the underestimated run by John Byrne as writer/artist on West Coast Avengers, and in particular issues #42-45, ‘VisionQuest’. In an earlier story arc in the main Avengers series, Vision had infiltrated computer networks and tried to take over the world, albeit under external influences, and when he gained access to the WCA’s databases, various governmental agencies feared this might recur. They kidnapped Vision, rebuilt and reprogrammed him into an emotionless, pallid simulacrum of his original self – and in the final episodes of ‘Wandavision’, which shoplifted large chunks of Byrne’s original plot, government ‘spooks’ came up with a similarly pallid ‘Vision 2.0’! This four issue sequence concludes with the first ‘White Vision’ in #45 in VF; issues #42-44 average VF/NM. Available as a set.
