Tom King is a former CIA operative turned Eisner Award–winning comics writer, known for introspective, morally complex narratives in “Mister Miracle”, “Vision”, “Batman”, and “The Human Target”. King’s writing balances operatic scope with psychological nuance, exploring trauma, failure, and redemption. His formalist structure, clipped dialogue, and thematic repetition create emotionally resonant tension. In just a few years, King has become one of the most literary voices in mainstream superhero comics.
In this acclaimed series, the Vision builds a synthezoid family and tries to live a quiet suburban life. But domestic normalcy clashes with existential dread, and the illusion begins to fracture. Tom King’s restrained storytelling, paired with Gabriel Hernández Walta’s eerie, composed art and Jordie Bellaire’s palette, creates a chilling meditation on identity, conformity, and self-destruction. A modern classic that quietly redefines superhero storytelling. Comic, Tom King, Gabriel Hernández Walta, Jordie Bellaire, Marvel, 2016 Marvel 978-0785196570 Tom King 2016
