Summary

Avengers Vol. 7 is the seventh volume of Avengers, written by Mark Waid and drawn by Mike Del Mundo, relaunched in 2016 under Marvel's "Marvel NOW!" initiative. The story picks up right after Civil War II: Nova, Miles Morales Spider-Man, and Ms. Marvel leave the team in succession, and the roster regroups with Captain America (Sam Wilson), Jane Foster Thor, Vision, Nadia Van Dyne Wasp, Hercules, and Spider-Man (Peter Parker). This issue is #4 of the series and part of the "Kang War" storyline: Vision once stole the infant Kang the Conqueror from his cradle and hid him in the 21st century, triggering the mad vengeance of Kang and his descendant the Crimson Centurion, with the two sides clashing repeatedly across the timestream. This issue unfolds from Kang's perspective, reviewing his journey from Rama-Tut to Kang the Conqueror step by step, while the Avengers launch a counterattack according to the plan Sam proposed in the previous issue; when three generations of Avengers—the founding lineup, the 1980s lineup, and the current lineup—appear together before Kang's citadel, even Kang himself feels fear for the first time. Overseas reviews generally regard this issue as a transitional chapter between the two main arcs, with little plot advancement, but thanks to its many spreads and strong nostalgia, it is one of the most visually striking issues of the volume.

Editor's review

如果你只知道电影里的复仇者,《复仇者V7》第4期会给你一个完全不同的入口:它不是群像打架的爽漫,而是把镜头交给反派。整期几乎由征服者康的独白撑起,他从31世纪的历史学者,到古埃及的法老拉玛-图,再到40世纪乱世中的征服者,一个人把时间踩在脚下;而复仇者直到最后几页才登场,三代阵容同时站在他门前,那一记跨页既是致敬,也是宣战。马克·怀德擅长把老角色写得不油腻,这一期尤其能看出他“爱这些角色”的部分;德尔·蒙多的画风偏实验,色块浓烈、构图夸张,喜欢的人会觉得惊艳,不习惯的人可能要适应几页。适合当作《复仇者》主线里的一个“反派人物小传”来读,也适合想弄明白“康到底是谁”的读者。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 追漫威《复仇者》第七卷主线的读者,想补完“康之战争”故事线
  • 对征服者康这一反派感兴趣,想了解其起源与动机的漫威粉丝
  • 喜欢以反派视角叙述、重视画面表现力的欧美漫画读者
  • 正在按卷按期刊收集漫威中文版或英文原版漫画的收藏者

Not a good fit for

  • 只想看复仇者团队大乱斗、期待大量战斗场面的读者
  • 完全没接触过漫威漫画时间线,第一次读超级英雄漫画的入门读者
  • 不适应德尔·蒙多偏抽象、强色块画风的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读本卷第1至3期,了解幻视偷走婴儿康的起因,再读本期会更顺畅
  2. 阅读时留意康自述的时间线,可对照漫威“拉玛-图—绯红百夫长—征服者康”的设定
  3. 读完后接着读第5期及后续“康之战争”篇章,本期是承上启下的过渡章
  4. 若读英文原版,可留意每页旁白式的第一人称叙述,那是本期叙事的关键

FAQ

《复仇者V7》第4期是整套书还是单独一期?
它是第七卷《复仇者》系列中的第4期单行本,并非整套合集。阅读前建议先看第1至3期,因为本期承接“康之战争”的前情;后续还有第5期等继续推进该故事线。
这一期主要讲什么?
本期以征服者康的第一人称视角回顾其崛起历程,同时复仇者执行上一期提出的反击计划,最终三代复仇者阵容同时出现在康的城塞门前,康第一次感到恐惧,属承上启下的过渡章。
没看过《内战II》能读懂吗?
基本能读懂单期内容,但会缺少背景:第七卷开篇时队伍刚经历《内战II》,新星、迈尔斯版蜘蛛侠和惊奇女士离队,队内气氛紧张。了解这些有助于理解队伍构成与情绪。
这一期有中文版吗?
目前可核实的是漫威2016年起出版的英文原版(2017年2月发行本期的美国版),中文引进版本、译者与出版社信息未能确认,建议以实际购买的版本信息为准。
