Summary

The Inhumans series is Marvel's main Inhumans comic launched after the Infinity event, written by Charles Soule and drawn by Joe Madureira, Ryan Stegman, and others. It begins with the fall of Attilan and Black Bolt presumed dead: the king's whereabouts are a mystery, the royal family is scattered, and the Terrigen Mists released worldwide by the Terrigen Bomb awaken thousands of ordinary people carrying dormant Inhuman genes. Medusa must rule alone in her husband's absence over a people suddenly swollen in number. She must both bring in the new Inhumans scattered across Earth and contend with a hardline faction of Inhuman warriors competing for the same new blood. This is Volume 4 of the Inhumans series and continues its main storyline centered on Medusa and the Inhuman royal family, presenting the world after the emergence of the new Inhumans from a more grounded perspective: having superpowers does not mean having a place to belong, as the fears of human society, the intervention of government agencies, and divisions within the Inhumans press in on these young people newly emerged from their cocoons.

Editor's review

异人族在漫威宇宙中长期扮演着类似变种人的角色:一个隐秘、被误解、被恐惧的族群。《异人》漫画把这个设定彻底掀开:泰瑞根迷雾将它们从月亮背面和暗处抛到全世界的街巷、村庄与医院里,普通人一觉醒来可能已经不再是普通人。查尔斯·索尔擅长把大事件写成人物故事,美杜莎在此不再是黑蝠王的“翻译”,而是一个要在废墟上重建国家、还要在母性与王权之间做选择的统治者。画面上,新一代异人的能力设计经常带有视觉奇观式的巧思,读者能感受到创作者对角色个性与能力之间对应关系的用心。对电影观众来说,本书是理解“异人族”这个名词在漫画里真正含义的入口;对老读者来说,它提供了大事件之后的一个稳定叙事基点。作为分册购买,从这一册切入并不会太吃力,角色关系在正文中有一定交代,但若想把完整故事线读完,仍建议按顺序补齐前后各册。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 已经看过漫威电影与剧集,想进一步了解异人族漫画设定的读者
  • 喜欢群像故事与政治、身份议题的超级英雄漫画读者
  • 对美杜莎、黑蝠王与异人皇室关系感兴趣的粉丝
  • 想收集漫威大事件后主线分支漫画的收藏者

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没有接触过漫威漫画、也不了解异人族基本设定的纯新手
  • 期望看到单册内故事完整收束、不喜连载连续叙事的读者
  • 偏好日式画风或非美式超级英雄题材的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先了解《无限》大事件与泰瑞根迷雾的基本背景,再读本书会顺畅很多。
  2. 阅读时留意美杜莎的每一句判断,她的立场变化牵动着整条故事线。
  3. 把书中出现的译者注与角色名对照看,能更快理清异人皇室的人物关系。
  4. 若按分册收集,建议同时记下版权页收录的英文原刊期号,便于补齐前后册。

FAQ

这本书是单行本还是某套合集里的一册?
《异人》是国内引进出版的漫威异人族主线漫画,按分册发行,“异人 #04”指的就是这套书的第4册,内容承接前面几册,并非独立成篇的完整故事。
没看过前三册能直接读第4册吗?
能读,但会缺少一些人物关系与事件前因。系列主线围绕美杜莎、黑蝠王与全球新异人展开,建议至少先大致了解阿提兰陨落和泰瑞根迷雾这两件事,再进入本册。
这本书和电影《异人族》是同一个故事吗?
不是。剧集《异人族》是独立的真人改编作品,而本书是漫威漫画中异人族主线连载的其中一册,两者人物相同,剧情与情节编排并不一致。
本书的具体收录期数和译者是谁?
这一点需要以实物版权页为准。同类引进漫画通常会在版权页标注原作名与收录的原刊期号,购买前可先向卖家确认,或查看封面勒口上的说明。
