Summary

Breach Vol. 2 is the second issue of DC's 2005 sci-fi superhero series, written by Bob Harras (writer of The Avengers) with art by Marcos Martin and Alvaro Lopez. This volume continues the story from the first issue: the protagonist is Tim Zanetti, a comrade and colleague of U.S. Army Major Tim Porter. He was transformed in an accident during a military cross-dimensional experiment called Project Otherside, losing decades of years and most of his humanity to become the being known as Breach. Upon waking, he must confront the reality that he is no longer human: everything familiar to him is gone, his touch brings fatal consequences, and more than twenty years have passed. In this volume, a mysterious rift in space-time appears on the African plains, and something—or someone—is coming through it, seemingly resonating with Breach's own existence. The military still tries to control him as a dangerous weapon, while Breach himself struggles to understand the powers he has gained and the price in memories each use demands. The main storyline revolves around the threat of extra-dimensional invasion, the truth the military conceals, and the protagonist's struggle with his remaining humanity, balancing traditional science fiction with inner character drama. This is volume 2 of the series.

Editor's review

鲍勃·哈拉斯在漫威执笔《复仇者联盟》多年,转到DC后交出的《Breach》是一部被低估的科幻向超级英雄连载。第2册的核心魅力在于“代价感”:主角每一次动用跨越维度的能力,都要付出记忆和身份作为代价,这一设定让打斗之外多了一层持续的紧张感。马科斯·马丁的绘画干净而富表现力,在本册中营造出一种冷峻、疏离又略带诡异的氛围。值得注意的是,本作跳出了当时漫画界流行的“黑暗写实”套路,试图用多族裔、多地域的角色群像来呈现一个更接近真实世界的舞台,非洲平原上的裂隙正是这一眼光的体现。对于喜欢《守望者》之后、新52之前DC中坚期科幻题材的读者,这一册值得拿来与前作对照阅读。本册为系列第2册,建议从第1册读起。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢DC中坚期(2000年代)科幻向超级英雄连载的读者
  • 偏爱人物内心挣扎多于大场面群戏的漫画读者
  • 对跨维度、异次元入侵题材感兴趣的科幻爱好者
  • 想了解鲍勃·哈拉斯离开漫威后的DC创作的研究型读者

Not a good fit for

  • 期待看到超人、蝙蝠侠等DC知名角色担任主角的读者
  • 习惯完整独立故事、不喜欢追连载的读者
  • 对单行本装帧有较高要求的收藏者(本册为单期漫画)

Reading tips

  1. 先读第1册弄清“另一侧计划”事故与主角背景,再进入本册,否则人物关系会显得跳跃。
  2. 留意画面对比:主人公的日常记忆片段与他当前的外形状态往往在分镜中交错出现,可留意作者对时间流逝的处理手法。
  3. 读完后可查一查该系列的后续走向,这部连载篇幅不长,整体通读更能看出哈拉斯的完整构思。

FAQ

这本《Breach 第2册》是全一册还是一期连载漫画?
这是DC于2005年连载的《Breach》系列的第2期单行本,约32页,不是合订本也不是全一册。该系列整体篇幅不长,需要从第1期开始按顺序阅读。
这一册的主角是谁?
主角是因军方跨维度实验事故而被改造的提姆·扎内蒂。他在事故中失去数十年时光与大部分人性,被军方称作Breach,本册中他一面适应新的身体,一面面对非洲平原上出现的时空裂隙。
需要先读第1册吗?
建议先读。第1册交代了“另一侧计划”事故的来龙去脉与主角的苏醒,第2册直接接续这些线索,若跳读会对人物关系和事件因果感到茫然。
这本有官方中文版吗?
据目前检索,该书未见有正式授权的中文简体版,一般以英文原版单期形式流传,中文读者多通过原版或民间渠道接触。
