Marvel Fanfare #14

Marvel Fanfare (1982-1992) #14
   It's the Avenger Vision vs. the Fantastic Four as the android hero is manipulated into believing the quartet is hurting the love of his life, Wanda Maximoff. The story goes from fantasy to reality pretty quick with multiple shifts in the Vision’s perception filter. It makes for a hard read with some very conveinent plot devices. I’ve read better.
The second feature has Quicksilver as he learns of another type of mutant prejudice when accused of theft amongst his in-laws, the Inhumans. This story, along with the art is much better. Plus, I like the irony that a race of people subject to prejudice (the Inhumans) are more than willing to dish it out on someone different from themselves. Marvel does such a great job being preachy without being too in your face. That parable is this issues saving grace and prevents it from not being worth consuming.

Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
