Summary

Toxin is a six-issue limited series launched by Marvel in 2005, written by Peter Milligan and drawn by Darick Robertson. The protagonist is NYPD officer Pat Mulligan, who hosts a symbiote within his body. In symbiote lineage terms, he is Venom's grandchild and Carnage's son. After Venom vs. Carnage, Pat leaves his wife and young son behind with this power and fights criminals alone in the city. This volume is the second of the series, continuing the groundwork of Volume 1, depicting Pat's relationship with the creature inside him growing more strained, and, amid a massive prison break, his choice between helping others and losing self-control. The series totals six volumes, of which this is one; to fully follow the story, read all six in order.

Editor's review

对熟悉毒液、屠杀谱系的读者来说,《Toxin》补上了共生体家族“第三代”的故事。米利根擅长刻画人物内心的拉扯:帕特既是警察,也是父亲,还是一个被异类寄生的人。他努力用这份危险的力量行善,却又清楚自己随时可能越界。罗伯逊的画风写实、有较强的剧场感,让都市夜景和共生体的黏稠质感形成鲜明对比。本册是六册短篇连载中的一册,篇幅紧凑,适合作为漫威共生体系列的补充阅读。

  • 读过《毒液大战屠杀》、想了解毒素来历的读者

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没接触过毒液或屠杀,想以本书入门的读者
