A+X #14
Tags
Summary
A+X is a two-story anthology series launched by Marvel after the 2012 "Avengers vs. X-Men" event. Each issue contains two short stories: one about a member of the Avengers and one about a member of the X-Men, running until issue #18 in 2014. This is issue #14 of the series, released on November 20, 2013. The first story, titled "Baddies," is written by Max Bemis, lead singer of the band Say Anything, in his first Marvel work, with art by David Lafuente; it stars the Superior Spider-Man—then occupying Otto Octavius's body—and Magneto. What sparks fly when these two former villains team up is the highlight of the story. The second story is part two of the six-part crossover "Captain America and Cyclops" running through issues #13 to #18, written by Gerry Duggan with art by David Yardin. In the previous part, the two followed clues about the shape-shifting alien Skrulls; in this part, they obtain intelligence through a S.H.I.E.L.D. Life-Model Decoy, travel to Latveria, infiltrate Doctor Doom's castle in search of imprisoned Skrull captives, and confront Doctor Doom and his robot guards head-on. The tone blends action, suspense, and bickering comedy.
Editor's review
这一期最大的卖点,是两条风格迥异的短篇线同时在推进。第一条线是“优等蜘蛛侠与万磁王”:Max Bemis是独立乐队Say Anything的主唱,这是他第一次为漫威写漫画;跨界作者写的反派戏往往带点古怪的幽默,配上David Lafuente轻快灵动的线条,很有独立漫画的味道。第二条线“美国队长与雷射眼”是《A+X》后期最有存在感的长篇,Gerry Duggan把两个彼此看不顺眼、意识形态对立的人硬凑成搭档,一边追查斯库鲁尔人的下落,一边不停斗嘴。Duggan在采访中提到,这篇的调子参考了沙恩·布莱克式的动作喜剧,还特意从克莱蒙特的旧作里请回一批老角色。对追X战警后“复仇者大战X战警”时代线、想弄清雷射眼如何一步步走到逃亡者位置的读者来说,这六回是补课的好材料。本书是单期合刊,并非独立成册的中文版;中文读者可见的多为汉化组译本,正式简体中文版信息暂未核实。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追“复仇者大战X战警”后续剧情、关心雷射眼处境的X战警读者
- 喜欢美国队长与雷射眼这对互相不服、边打边吵搭档的读者
- 想看跨界音乐人Max Bemis第一次写漫威、偏爱古怪反派的读者
- 收集漫威2012—2014年单期合刊、讲究期号连续性的读者
Not a good fit for
- 希望读到完整独立故事、不接受连载中间截断的读者
- 需要官方简体中文版和正规ISBN信息用于采购的读者
- 对分镜与画风统一性要求高、不习惯一期两种画风的读者
Reading tips
- 先读第13期,再读第14期;“美国队长与雷射眼”一条线贯穿13至18期,跳读会丢线索。
- 两条短篇互不相关,可按兴趣先读“Baddies”,再回头补主线。
- 若只关心主线,可只读每期后半部分,但末日博士城堡一段是连着的,别漏页。
- 读前略补“优等蜘蛛侠”与“复仇者大战X战警”结局,人物动机更好理解。
