Series: Occupy Avengers

Summary

Occupy Avengers is the story of a grassroots Avengers team Marvel launched in the wake of Civil War II: Clint Barton (Hawkeye), burdened by guilt after Bruce Banner's death, leaves the mainstream hero community and drives a van across America, specifically seeking out the places superheroes usually never go, helping ordinary people and disadvantaged communities solve real-world problems. Along the way he meets companions such as Red Wolf and forms a loose squad with them. This volume is the second in that series, originally published in English as Occupy Avengers Vol. 2: In Plain Sight, collecting Occupy Avengers #5–9. The story begins when the team breaks down in the small Iowa town of Dunston: this town, famous for its manure, hides a deadly secret, and two rival Skrulls turn it into a battlefield, drawing Hawkeye and his team into an interstellar conflict. Then the Secret Empire event erupts, Hawkeye is pulled into the underground resistance, and the team must carry out its most critical mission yet without its leader; Tilda (Nightshade) is forced to shoulder the burden, and new members join along the way. This volume is also the final collection of the series.

Editor's review

如果你看腻了拯救宇宙的大场面，这本书值得一读。编剧大卫·F. 沃克把鹰眼写成一个会为水源污染、社区边缘化这类“小事”出手的人，这是漫威少见的、贴着地面的写法。本册前半部分是小成本公路片式的悬疑冲突：一辆抛锚的厢式车，一座臭气熏天的小镇，一群隐藏身份的斯克鲁尔人，节奏轻快，主角团插科打诨中带点硬气。后半部分接入“秘密帝国”，主线英雄被抽走，剩下的人第一次独立扛事，蒂尔达接过队长位置，是全书最有分量的人物转折。需要提醒的是，这一册的画师阵容较第一册有更换，画风前后差异明显；同时，因为“秘密帝国”剧情在别处推进，个别情节会显得跳跃，本册也成了系列的终点。适合当作“复仇者另一面”的补完阅读，而不宜作为漫威大事件的入门。

Who it's for

A good fit for

喜欢鹰眼、红狼等二线英雄，想了解他们个人故事的读者
对“超级英雄处理社会现实议题”这类题材感兴趣的漫画读者
追看漫威《内战Ⅱ》《秘密帝国》前后支线的补完型读者
喜欢公路片式小队冒险、轻松对话与冷幽默的读者

Not a good fit for

希望看到大规模宇宙级战争与大场面群像的读者
完全没接触漫威大事件、容易被人名与背景绕晕的新读者
对画风一致性要求高、介意画师中途更换的收藏型读者

Reading tips

建议先读第1册《占领复仇者：夺回正义》，了解鹰眼为何离队上路，再读本册。
阅读前可简单了解《内战Ⅱ》中班纳之死与《秘密帝国》中九头蛇掌权两条背景线。
把本书当作人物小传而非大事件主菜来读，关注鹰眼与蒂尔达的心理变化。
读完后可接续《秘密帝国》主线，补完鹰眼在事件中的走向。

FAQ

这本是整套《占领复仇者》还是其中一册？

这是系列第2册，英文原版为《Occupy Avengers Vol. 2: In Plain Sight》，收录《Occupy Avengers》第5至9期，并不包含第1至4期的内容，需另行阅读第1册。

没读过第1册能直接看吗？

可以，但会缺少对鹰眼离开主流英雄圈、结识红狼等前情的了解。建议先补第1册，或至少了解《内战Ⅱ》中班纳之死对鹰眼的影响。

为什么这册之后系列就没了？

该系列连载期数较短，最后两期并入了“秘密帝国”大事件，故事在别刊延续，本册即为合集收录的终点。

书中的“斯库鲁尔”是什么？

斯克鲁尔是漫威宇宙中能变形模仿他人的外星种族，本册中出现在艾奥瓦小镇的居民之间，分为立场不同的两派，是故事冲突的核心。

About the author

大卫·沃克 Author

David Walker is an author about whom limited public information is currently available; his English name, nationality, and dates of birth and death are not specified in the existing materials. It is known that one of his works has been translated into Chinese, namely the nonfiction work Guangming Xing: The History of a Family. Judging from the subject matter of this work, Walker's writing leans toward family history and the exploration of personal memory, tracing the experiences of family members through a documentary approach and connecting private narratives with broader historical contexts. Works of this kind usually rely on specific people, events, and details to present historical change rather than on fictional imagination. Since only this one work is held in the collection and systematic information about the author's life is lacking, it is difficult at present to assess the full scope of his writing; readers may turn to Guangming Xing: The History of a Family to understand his orientation toward family memory and historical writing.
