If you’re going to read comics related to a show called VisionQuest, you should probably read the comic book storyline called VisionQuest, right? Yes! And, well… sort of. Written and drawn by the great John Byrne, VisionQuest is probably the height of West Coast Avengers, the series that focused on a California-based team of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, USAgent, and Hawkeye. The story of the Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff’s search for her missing husband Vision, one that leads her to an all-white government copy and to the terrible truth about her twin children, Billy and Tommy, VisionQuest is a cracking superhero yarn.
But, as you might guess from the above synopsis, VisionQuest already appeared in the MCU, as one of the chief inspirations for WandaVision. As a result, VisionQuest TV series showrunner Terry Matalas had to take Bettany’s character in a new direction, one that involves Ultron and AIs more than it does Wanda or any of the West Coast Avengers. Still, Matalas draws from the foundation that Byrne laid in the comics, making VisionQuest a great read, no matter what else the MCU may have done.
