Summary

This volume collects issue #3 of FF Vol. 2 (Marvel NOW!), written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Michael Allred, originally titled "Old John Storm." The story picks up from what came before: a band of wanderers from another timeline appears at the Future Foundation, one of whom claims to be Johnny Storm—aged, scarred, and fitted with a mechanical prosthetic limb. He tells Ant-Man Scott Lang, Medusa, She-Hulk, "Ms. Thing" Darla Deering, and the Future Foundation children about the catastrophe in that timeline: Reed, Sue, and Ben died in space, and Doctor Doom, Kang the Conqueror, and Annihilus joined forces and merged into the dreaded "Annihilation Conqueror Doctor Doom." Johnny fought him alone for years, and has now fled back to this timeline to sever the passage before disaster strikes. Meanwhile, Scott Lang must rebuild trust while the team is still unformed and persuade pop star Darla, now back in the spotlight, to rejoin the group; underground, four Moloid children strike a secret bargain with the Mole Man; and the Yancy Street Gang wreaks havoc in Darla's dressing room, turning Scott's romantic plans into chaos. The issue closes amid the crowds of New York on New Year's Eve, as Scott presents his plan to his teammates—to go on the offensive and destroy Doctor Doom once and for all. The war begins here.

Editor's review

这一期是“神奇四侠缺席”时代最有趣的一集之一。Fraction 把末日博士、康与歼灭者合体成一个连名字都荒诞得可爱的反派,却用最庄重的语气讲出来;同时,他把大量篇幅交给斯科特·朗这样一个“不太像领袖的领袖”和达拉·迪林这样一个“假装自己是另一个人”的流行歌手:两个人的犹疑、笨拙与偷偷善意,构成了本册的情感核心。Allred 夫妇的画面是最大看点——平涂高饱和色、怪诞的未来基金会儿童、致敬经典封面的构图,让整本漫画在科幻气压下始终保有一种波普式的轻快。两条线索在此并行:一边是天塌下来的宇宙危机,一边是更衣室里被打翻的奶油炸弹。这种严肃与滑稽的反差,正是本篇最迷人的气质。对想从单期进入 Fraction 版《FF》的读者来说,本册是一个相当合适的切入口。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢 Matt Fraction 与 Michael Allred 组合风格的漫威读者
  • 正在追读 Marvel NOW! 时期神奇四侠与未来基金会故事线的人
  • 偏爱群像戏、幽默感与波普画风兼备的超级英雄漫画的读者
  • 对斯科特·朗(蚁人)、达拉·迪林等二线角色感兴趣的读者

Not a good fit for

  • 只读传统正邪决战、期待高强度动作场面的读者
  • 完全没接触过神奇四侠、未来基金会设定的漫画新人
  • 反感高饱和平涂画风与荒诞反派的读者

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读《FF》第二卷第1、2期,了解神奇四侠离队、新团队组建的来龙去脉。
  2. 阅读时留意“老年约翰尼”讲述的异时间线设定,它会直接支撑本卷后续走向。
  3. 可以与同期 Fraction 编剧的《神奇四侠》对照阅读,两条故事线互相呼应。
  4. 不要跳过莫洛伊德孩子与鼹鼠人这条支线,它是理解未来基金会内部关系的小钥匙。
