Summary
This volume is issue #5 of FF (Future Foundation), written by Jonathan Hickman, continuing directly from the events of Fantastic Four #588. The Human Torch, who sacrificed himself in the "Three" arc, left a final wish: if anyone were to fill the team's empty place, it should be his best friend Spider-Man. So Reed and Sue Richards, the Thing and Spider-Man, together with the children of the Future Foundation, form a new team to continue exploring and guarding the world. This issue is titled "...The Sound of War" and belongs to the build-up of the "War of the Four Cities." In the story, the Invisible Woman, Spider-Man and Alex Power confront the forces of the "evil Reed" from other parallel universes and the Mole Man, who seize "Old Atlantis"; meanwhile the Thing, having left the team, visits Alicia Masters, and the two reexamine their relationship. Reed and Sue clash at the Baxter Building over the existence of the "evil Reed," and cracks appear in the couple's trust. At the end of the issue, Black Bolt returns with the Inhumans and the floating city of Attilan, laying groundwork for greater conflicts to come.
Editor's review
《FF》第五期是希克曼“神奇四侠—未来基金会”长线叙事中承上启下的一期。它接续《神奇四侠》第588期霹雳火阵亡后的余波,把“家庭”主题从英雄作战转向成员之间的裂痕:苏与里德因隐瞒而爆发争吵,本·格里姆与前女友艾丽西亚重新靠近,看似支线的感情戏恰恰是这一段故事最动人的地方。多重宇宙的“邪恶里德”势力、鼹鼠人与旧亚特兰蒂斯构成的外部威胁,则为日后的“四城之战”铺路。画面上,本期由史蒂夫·埃普廷等人执笔,英雄对峙与人物特写兼顾,战斗节奏利落。结尾黑蝠王与异人族的回归,是整期最有力的钩子——读者会好奇这位“已死”的王者将把故事带向何方。适合从《神奇四侠》第588期一路追读的读者,本期不宜孤立阅读。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追读希克曼版《神奇四侠》与《FF》系列,希望按刊序补完剧情的漫威读者
- 喜欢“未来基金会”设定与里德家族、孩子们群像的漫画爱好者
- 关注霹雳火之死后角色心态变化与家庭关系描写的人
- 对多重宇宙、异人族、四城之战等长线伏笔感兴趣的科幻超级英雄读者
Not a good fit for
- 没有读过《神奇四侠》第588期及《FF》前四期、希望单本入门的读者
- 偏好单期完整独立故事、不习惯长线连载伏笔的读者
- 偏爱轻松幽默日常向超级英雄故事、对夫妻冲突与生死余波较为抗拒的读者
Reading tips
- 先补《神奇四侠》第583—588期的“三人”篇章与《FF》第1—4期,再读本期,否则人物关系与冲突动机不易理解。
- 留意“邪恶里德”与旧亚特兰蒂斯两条线,它们是后续“四城之战”的铺垫,可做简单笔记梳理势力。
- 把里德与苏的争执、本与艾丽西亚的对话当作阅读重点,这是希克曼处理“家庭”主题的核心段落。
- 读完本期后可接着读第6期“Two Kings”,观察黑蝠王回归带来的局势变化。
