Capitol Comics #1: The White House's Oval Office: Why Gabriel Hernández Walta the perfect artist to bring Tom King’s The Vision to life - Page 9 of Issue #1 Marvel Comics (2015)

 by Chris Shields

This series highlights pages from my collection of original comic art that depict Washington, DC monuments and buildings.  As a long-time Washington DC resident, it is always exciting to see the extraordinary town depicted in comics.

Why did Tom King include Washington, DC in The Vision?

In an article on Marvel.com Tom King mentions: "Vision tries to be ordinary. That effort is the most ordinary thing he does. So, in trying, he succeeds; and such success is extraordinary, so as he succeeds, he fails. Hopefully in that roundabout something true comes out".

Panel 1 & 2: The Oval Office and White House

Tom’s use of the White House visit is to contrast with Vision's “ordinary” life, by showing his Avenger access and importance by talking directly to the President in the Oval Office.  He wants a normal life, but this is most certainly not a normal day at the office.
 

In the Director’s cut which is available to read on Marvel.com in issue #1, you can see Tom’s script in the back showing that the use of the White House and Oval Office was specified in the script and part of the storytelling process 

Why is Gabriel Hernández Walta the perfect artist for this series? 
 
In the Marvel article, Tom talks about how in his pitch for the series that it was “Breaking Bad Vision”.  Adding…  "Once we had the “Breaking Bad Vision” pitch I couldn’t say that was the pitch or else that would spoil the whole “Breaking Bad” part, which I wanted to be a shock. So people looking at the first images of the book and reading the first solicitations were just seeing the “Vision creates a family,” thing and they, like my buddy, thought that was a little lame. The whole thing sounded like it might be a stupid comedy of stupid manners, robots doing silly human things; basically Urklebot for the Marvel Universe.
 
So the first and biggest challenge was—and is—showing the high stakes of this series, showing that something horrible was happening here, something haunting. This is where the narrative voice came from, the voice of someone who knew what was coming—who knew about the “Breaking Bad” pitch—and was telling the audience what you’re seeing here is not Urklebot, but is the start of something horrible, something haunting”.  This is why having Gabriel Hernández Walta drawing and inking the pages helped to sell this haunting aesthetic.
 
Photos from a recent event at the Washington, DC Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library on July 12th, 2026, Tom King was the guest of COMICTROPOLIS: Lights, Panels, Actions.  The event was moderated and hosted by writer David Betancourt. The author showing the Vision art to Tom King (who owns two pages from the series).

July 11: TRANSLATORS IN CONVERSATION: FISH & WATER BY GENGOROH TAGAME at Fantom comics


TRANSLATORS IN CONVERSATION: FISH & WATER BY GENGOROH TAGAME

Translator ANNE ISHII interviewed by RYAN HOLMBERG
>> SATURDAY, JULY 11th @ 6:30pm
Two titans of manga translation here at Fantom at the same time!! ANNE ISHII visits DC to celebrate her translation of FISH AND WATER, the new slice-of-life romance by gay manga master GENGOROH TAGAME (My Brother’s Husband, The Passion of Gengoroh Tagame). Ishii is the co-founder of MASSIVE and is largely responsible for Tagame’s work reaching an English-speaking audience, having translated & edited all his work published in the U.S.

Anne will sit down at Fantom to chat with manga historian, editor, and translator RYAN HOLMBERG—both of these friends of Fantom have forged their own unique careers translating & championing very different kinds of alternative manga.
Fish and Water follows the chance romance of two men in an unassuming friendship. Akira, a business sales administrator, and Koji, a freelance writer, quickly become close buddies even as social-distancing regulations bar most connections during the pandemic. One day, during a visit with a farm client, Akira is offered a case of freshly picked cabbage. Since no one at his office wants it and he is a disaster in the kitchen, Akira decides to see if Koji (who loves to cook) might be interested. Koji accepts and invites Akira to join him for dinner. Lonely in the midst of pandemic-related shutdowns, Akira welcomes the chance, and one meal becomes many. They become quite relaxed with each other, creating an amusing but emotionally perplexing scenario. Eventually, Akira and Koji grapple with deciding if they are just friends, or something more.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Screwed Blue And Tattooed"

 "Screwed Blue and Tattooed"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4284

As I post this, we're still waiting to hear if the Nazi tattoo-wearing,
woman-harassing, domestic violence-committing ex-Abu Ghraib prison guard
DNC Senatorial candidate is going to stay in the race, or if the DNC
will have to drag Susan Collins out of her oxygen tent.

More sexual harassment and abuse revelations about a politician who
guarded Abu Ghraib and already had a history of harassment and domestic
violence?

Well-lll, shut my mouth.
