Synopsis: Dr. Sam Wilson (aka The Flacon) begins to hear Vision's earliest tales of destruction.

Thoughts: Last time there wasn't much story to speak of, this time, however, we've begun to delve into Vision's deadly intergalactic past. And though it isn't filled with action and intrigue, I found myself (loosely) gripped by the four-page story. (In fact, I couldn't get thoughts of the doomed Krypton out of my head. Whether that was Millar's intention or not, I do not know.) Romita's pencils, which felt rushed in the first installment, thrive vibrantly (with much help from inker Jimmy Palmiotti and colorist June Chung) and spark a desire to see more sci-fi stories from good ol' JRJR.
