A+X #17
Tags
Summary
A+X is a team-up short-story series Marvel published from 2012 to 2014, pairing "one Avenger + one X-Man" in each issue and running two standalone short stories. This volume is issue #17 of the series, the second-to-last of the 18 issues. This issue contains two stories. The first is "Iron Man + Broo," written by Jeff Loveness and drawn by Paco Diaz: Broo, a student at the Xavier Institute, is sent by Beast to Avengers Tower to shadow Tony Stark for a day. Tony intends to go through the motions, but is quickly won over by Broo's startling genius, and the two face a robbery by the "Chessmen" gang, setting off a strange day that spans casinos, battlefields, and space. The second is Part 5 of the "Captain America + Cyclops" arc, written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by David Yardin. The story continues the serial that began in issue #13: Captain America is determined to arrest Cyclops, now a wanted fugitive, yet the two must join forces against a Skrull crisis, tracing it to Doctor Doom's laboratory and searching for Professor X's former students—the Skrull mutant squad Cadre K. In this issue, Doctor Doom appears at a farm in South Dakota and the two sides clash head-on; meanwhile, Cyclops leads his team to destroy Doom's Skrull experimental facility in Latveria, only to discover a terrifying prototype. This volume is issue #17 of the series.
Editor's review
《A+X》的看点在于「不常见的英雄配对」:它不追求宏大的跨刊大事件,而是把两位平时难得同框的角色丢进同一场麻烦,用一期篇幅讲完一段轻巧、利落的小故事。 第17期正是这种思路的典型样本:一边是钢铁侠与布洛这对「天才前辈+天才少年」的师徒小品,节奏轻快、笑点密集,也让人看见托尼·斯塔克不常露出的耐心一面;另一边则是连载六期的「美国队长与雷射眼」进入第5部分,把斯克鲁尔人、末日博士与Cadre K几条线索收拢到一处。前者轻松,后者紧凑,一册之内两种阅读体验,很能代表这个系列「拼盘式」的结构特色。 对漫威读者而言,这一期还有一个额外价值:它处在系列收官前夕,是补完Cap与Cyclops这条跨期故事线的关键一环。若你已在追这条线,第17期不可跳过;若你只是想尝鲜,钢铁侠与布洛那段也足以独立成篇。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 正在收集或补完《A+X》全系列的漫威漫画读者

Reading tips

- 可将本期两则故事分开阅读:先读钢铁侠与布洛的独立短篇,再进入连载部分。
- 阅读时留意第17期与第18期之间的衔接,系列在此收官,悬念延续到最后一期。
- 若只对某一位角色感兴趣,可参考系列各期的配对表挑读,不必按顺序通读全系列。
