The last six issues are just as quick a read as the first six, and I got some more Wandavision vibes—especially the flashback issue that told the love story between Wanda and Vision. The story goes to some much darker places than I expected, but it also features a Vision vs The Avengers fight scene, so I guess it was worth it.
I still found the two different conversations (dialogue intercut with narration) a little hard to follow, but in the Kindle it's pretty easy to double-tap out to full-page view to reread the two tracks separately.

The bits of foreshadowing King included in Vol. 1 all paid off here in Vol. 2—and it ends with a slight cliffhanger that shows maybe even the genius synthezoid Vision might not be that smart...
