I really want to get in to archery because of pirate queen archery iron fist from 10 years ago and hawkguy

Do iiit. I love archery. It's really goddamn fun. Also expensive, depending on what type of archery you want. Traditional/barebow is the cheapest because good god I am not paying that much for a dang release you silly archery stores.
Humphries has been better lately but I do not have confidence in him being able to keep up with the level of insane but engaging bullshit Aaron introduced in the Secret Wars mini
It stars a teenage Earth girl named Becca who gets sucked into Weirdworld (via some sort of portal on Earth, as Weirdworld itself orbits Earth as a moon but is magically shielded from having people just fly to it and land on it) and goes up against Morgan La Fey. It will also be tying into Black Knight a bit as well.

Kingpin has been major villain for a lot of different heroes
Marvel also put out another version of the Totally Awesome Hulk teaser that hints at it being Iron Fist but it is probably just bullshit like the misleading Thor as Hulk teaser they had during SDCC

I want a recurve
A starter set seems to be about $200
Oh man do I hope the end of Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde plays into Secret Wars
It ends with Kitty letting Peter keep the artifact she was chasing, which turns out to be Rocket Raccoon's tail from 616, and Peter and the nightclub bouncer version of Drax he's buddies with walking off into the sunset trying to find a decent geneticist so that Peter can clone an army of Rocket Raccoons
Yeah that's about right. $150 for a good starter bow, $50 for arrows/other shit. If you want a cheap target, fill a box with some old clothes and paint a target on it. 's what I did for ages. I wanted to get a real nice longbow for ages, but they're like twice as expensive here as in the US, and you can't really ship them overseas really cheaply because they're one piece bows and are huge. I'm not paying $800 for something that costs $350 in the US, sorry.
CBR chatted with another new Marvel series writer, this time being the guy behind the new Vision series, Tom King. It also includes some black and white art from the first issue.
CBR: Eight months of time will have passed in-story between the end of "Secret Wars" and the start of "The Vision." In that time, Vision will have created his own Synthezoid family. What can you tell us about them? Are they aware that they are not human?
Tom King: Yeah, the basic idea is Vision wants to be normal. That's one of the things that makes him compelling. That's one of the reasons Roy Thomas created him. He's this being that is utterly extraordinary, but wants to be ordinary. And what's more ordinary than family? So at the beginning of this, he's created a family. Vision doesn't hide the fact that he's a synthezoid though. He's not ashamed of that. It's part of him. So his family knows they're synthezoids. They know they're different, but they still want to sort of live the American dream. It's the classic Marvel metaphor; the super heroes are you and me. It's the idea that these are outsiders that are trying to embrace something ordinary and they have to deal with all of this stuff because of it.
Will the Vision and his family have secret identities then?
They will not have secret identities. Everyone knows he's the Vision and he has children. They live in the suburbs of Washington D.C. and they're the new family in the neighborhood. They're unlike any family that has ever moved into this neighborhood before, so this is something different for the neighborhood to get used to [laughs]. The great theme of the story is integration -- how you try to be both an individual and fit in with society.
Is this a series about a family of heroes?
His family is rather new and no one becomes a hero overnight -- except for Vision back in 1968. [Laughs] So they have his powers, but they don't really have his abilities. They don't know how to be heroes yet, and they haven't decided if they want to be heroes.
That's the idea. Vision is letting his new wife, whose name is Virginia, and his kids, who are Viv and Vin, find their own way because he got to find his own way. He was created by a mad man who said, "This is what you have to do." And Vision is creating his family and not giving them a set fate. They have to decide what's right and wrong for themselves. They have to decide where they fit into society.
Groot's group of makeshift allies get their asses kicked and the villain blows Groot up and torches the splinters so he can't grow back
But one of his allies is a universal aspect with very minor control over reality and luck so she manages to coax a single splinter down a nearby hole on the wall, sending it down into the sewage section of the ship
The final page is a recreation of the iconic Claremont Wolverine page where he bursts out of the water saying "Now it's my turn" or whatever but with tiny baby Groot saying "I am Groot."

He was created by a mad man who said, "This is what you have to do." And Vision is creating his family and not giving them a set fate. They have to decide what's right and wrong for themselves. They have to decide where they fit into society.
So...question, how is, "You are my family" not a set fate?
Presumably they can decide to leave his family if they want? Which would force Vision to choose between being a man of his word or keeping the family he so values together at the cost of his integrity.
At the end of the recent "Avengers: Rage of Ultron" graphic novel, the world believes the titular robot and Hank Pym are dead. Will their presence be felt at all in "The Vision," or will he have dealt with his feelings about them in the time between that story and the start of this series?
This is unfortunately one of those questions where I have to say, "Wait and read the book" -- especially since it touches on what's going to be in Mark Waid's "All-New All-Different Avengers" book. I don't want to spoil that either, because I worship Waid. I think it is safe to say, though, that all those aspects of the Vision -- the fact that he has Wonder Man's sort of brainwaves and all those other family ties -- are going to haunt this book. They'll all play a role.
The Vision is also connected to characters like Victor Mancha from the "Runaways," the original Human Torch, and there's the whole Jonas connection from the original volume of "Young Avengers." So he's bizarrely and tangentially related to so much of the Marvel Universe. We've got a lot to play around with, but it is a fairly self-contained story. That's sort of like the baggage he comes to this with and what he's trying to walk away from.
I think of it like the beginning of Waid's "Daredevil" run where they went back to something very simple, but the fact that Daredevil had all of that history in the background gave the story this incredible weight.
Ultron has been one of the Vision's biggest nemesis for the longest time. So with him temporarily out of commission it seems like you've got some freedom to create and add to your protagonist's rogues' gallery.
Yeah, they've given me some incredible freedom so far to tell this story and I'm using a narrative device that I haven't used before. I thought everyone would freak out about it, but they're being really cool about it. The influences for this story go back to things like "Sandman," and "Swamp Thing" and a ton of other things. So it's going to go a little crazy, but it's going to be cool.
When people who are reading the first issue and get to the first twist let me know if it makes you gasp, because it's meant to make you gasp. It's going to be something big.
Presumably they can decide to leave his family if they want? Which would force Vision to choose between being a man of his word or keeping the family he so values together at the cost of his integrity.
Sounds like a good plot line to me!
I would be really surprised if this didn't come up at some point.
Bonus points if they address the differences inherent in the relationship between Vision and Virginia and Vision and the kids, because while Vision might aspire to allow his family to choose their fate, how that plays out between a couple and how it plays out in a parent-child relationship are very, very different.

So for Virginia, there's a point to be made there, but for the kids, well, they're just like everyone else. No one chooses what family they're born into. But everyone should be able to choose who they call family.
Hey that guy I don't like much has a superhero name, so that's cool
I don't hate it
watch him somehow make the jump to comics before Ward
Sparkplug sounds like a name I'd call someone like him as an insult, so it works for me (I wasn't fond of him either as his character so far seems to be exclusively "boy for Skye to maybe have feelings for" and I felt he detracted somewhat from her far more interesting family crisis)
Like the kids I get but what is with Androids making their own wives but considering their creators parents?
Also will cousin Victor show up in volume 2 when Viv isn't cute anymore?
Well, they have no biological aversion to incest, so there's only the social aversions, which is greatly lessened given these are programmed personalities, rather than ones that grew over decades, so there isn't 20 years of the Vision being an authority figure to his wife before they got hitched. There's still the moral issue of creating a being to specifically to be your spouse, but I wouldn't file that under an potential incest so much as potential slavery.
I mean, at some level, robotic AI's are going to have traits alien to humans; romantic relationships with your offspring might just be one of those things.

Also, their options are limited. Unless someone's out there building a bunch of other androids for them to court the human way, they're kind of in a situation where they gotta take matters into their own hands.
I have to assume that Vision made these other AI and then like, approached them with his idea of who he'd like them to be
There's almost no way he just made these guys and went "Cool you're my family" without giving it any forethought
Yeah, as I've said before, Vision going YOU'RE MY FAMILY NOW AND HAVE NO SAY IN THE MATTER is antithetical to everything about his character
He's an android who defied the role assigned to him by his creator and chose to be who he is, I sincerely doubt he would force his family into their roles.

Well, to be fair, human kids often don't get a say of who their parents are or how they're raised. I'm not even sure it's immoral for the Vision to build a couple of robo-kids and choose how to raise them.

Depends on the kids really
Theoretically they should be as advanced and matured as Vision or Virginia since they are Androids and don't have to go through the whole childhood/young adult period that humans do where they need some sort of guidance and support system to help them develop
If Vision made them specifically to be immature and develop over time then maybe but even that is kinda murky since he had the option to make them fully developed and chose not to so he could have his family dynamic

Maybe! But an argument could be made that that isn't his choice to make.
