So I take a little over a month off from reading the second Vision and the Scarlet Witch miniseries, to read a bunch of Christmas themed comic books to come back and read a Christmas themed issue!
I shouldn't have been surprised. Just about every issue is set during a holiday. The last issue was Thanksgiving. The month before that was Halloween.
In this issue, we learn that the Inhuman Crystal has been spending a lot of time on Earth. It's been under the guise of helping Wanda get ready for the birth of her miracle baby. Only, Crystal has been going off on her own, conducting an affair with a human behind the back of her husband, the mutant Quicksilver.
Meanwhile, Vision has been following up on the robotic attack by the Toad's version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from the last issue. Vision catches up with the evil mutant lackey who has recently become powerful thanks to a raid on the armory of the Stranger. Toad has long pined after the Scarlet Witch when she and her brother were unwilling members of Magneto's band of villains. Now that he's got some fire power, Toad wishes to finally make Wanda Maximoff his bride. But first, Toad has to kill Wanda's husband and the Vision is not about to go quietly!
A good chapter that has some decent fight scenes while the Scarlet Witch enjoys Christmas, aloof of the battle between her husband and Toad. I could have done without the soap opera theatrics of Crystal cheating on Pietro. It's been a long time coming as Quicksilver has been more devoted to training the Inhumans' militia than being a doting husband and father. Still it's an element of this book I could have done without.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
