For the first time in more than a decade, the Android Avenger is getting his own comic.

A fan-favorite in this summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Vision is getting a new title courtesy writer Tom King and artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta, featuring a new (android) wife and kids he's created for himself.

That's a new family piled on top of decades of baggage, some truly bizarre, which King compares to Donna Troy, one of comicdom's most often (and confusingly) reinvented characters. That's all going to end here, he says.

"With this series we're going to strip all that noise away and return to the simple, sweet, and amazingly compelling set up Roy Thomas first gave the character: a robot built to be a weapon who wants to be a human, who wants to be a hero," King told Newsarama. "He's the powerful stranger who for some flattering reason wants to be like us. Vision is Data. Vision is Spock. Vision is Superman. Vision is who I was, the geek trying to fit in, realizing I never will, and realizing that that ain't all bad."

The title will launch in the fall following the events of Secret Wars, Marvel's currently-ongoing mega-event.
