I bet it's more like some people saw that she could work as a marketable generic teen hero for teen team comics, games, cartoons and the like, so would rather her not star in any more complicated comics.

I assume lots of sad stuff was to occur in this book.

Oh poo poo what if part of John Byrne's conditions for returning is to kill the Vision's family and make him an emotionless blank slate? That would fit with what he did in the past and dude hates him some emotional Vision

Maybe he could settle for turning them both chalk-white again.

(Naturally people were verklempt when Viv got a human form and it wasn't Caucasian.)

They could have just said it takes place in a separate continuity and published the drat book anyway.

If this is the reason the book was cancelled, then I'm very upset; Viv was created in a bummer of a book that kills her off in her fist appearance and proceeds to keep being a bummer for the following issues. If Cain wanted to keep it that way (which I can't be sure of, since Mockingbird was quite fun), then she had a better handle on her than Waid did on Champions.

Anyway, yeah, they are gonna kill her off.

From some tweets I can't find now, she seemed to be doing a total follow-up of King's series, so I assume it wouldn't be a big tone shift.

edit: Again, that's just a guess.

How is Brisson as a writer?

His arc on the recent Cable run was alright. Kind of a shame they got him to write this and not the guys who wrote the final arc of that run, because that storyline was killer.

e: Extermination (Xtermination?) has been pretty bad, though.

Plot twist: it's Lyja again.

Also, roughly 50% of the time, in any scene with Reed and Sue, one of them is also Lyja.

Her clever plan to marry each member of the Fantastic Four simultaneously is about to achieve fruition.

Chelsea Cain did an interview with EW on the Vision cancelling.
https://ew.com/books/2018/09/14/chelsea-cain-interview-marvel-comic-vision-canceled/

quote:

Cain says she and Mohan were drawing inspiration from their own relationships with their daughter for The Vision, describing the series as “a father-daughter story” about “the efforts of an emotionally-stunted man to reach out and connect with his ‘woke’ teenage daughter.”

“If that isn’t a metaphor for the comic book business,” she says, “I don’t know what is.”

Whatever, none of those are as bad as how you could web up an enemy in Spider-Man 2, take him to the top of the Empire State Building, then powerbomb him all the way down to the street
