Vision and the Scarlet Witch #11

The holiday theme returns in this penultimate issue of Vision and the Scarlet Witch. Okay- is Tax Day really a holiday? I guess so. It's just not one that anyone who isn't a politician or IRS auditor enjoys. 

It's April 15th and Peter Parker has got one heck of a tax bill. In order to pay it off, he takes a magazine gig photographing the beautiful new home of the Vision and Scarlet Witch. Wanda is just days away from giving birth and has been placed on bed rest. So it's up to the Vision to take Peter around the home which has been targeted once again by the dastardly Toad! Enter your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man wearing his iconic black costume to help the former Avenger protect his wife and unborn child from the clutches of the evil mutant lackey.

Hey! Where'd that Parker kid run off to?

The Toad's contribution to this series comes to an end with this issue. Vision has been keeping the Toad's obsession with the Scarlet Witch quiet in order to not stress the expectant mommy out. With this latest round, there's nothing the android hubby can do to keep Wanda out of this affair. Man, does the Toad get really petty when he comes across the very, VERY pregnant Scarlet Witch. To the point he's sickened by her large size and the Toad has never been what you'd consider a looker. In return, high on hormones and motherly instinct, Wanda Maximoff really lets the Toad have it laying on insults that should have killed the mutant by the sheer tones of her rejection. 

Don't mess with Mama!

By the way, a comic book being set during Tax Day isn't quite as unusual as you might think. In fact, I've got a Tax Day holiday issue in my collection starring Tick and Arthur. So I guess you can count April 15th as a holiday but again, why would you???

Worth Consuming!
