Inhuman Vol. 9

Summary
This volume is the ninth installment of Marvel's Inhuman (2014–2015) series, corresponding to the original issue Inhuman (2014) #9, titled "Ennilux," released in North America on December 3, 2014, as a tie-in chapter of the "AXIS" event. The story follows the landscape after the Infinity event: Black Bolt detonated the Terrigen Bomb and Attilan fell, dormant Inhuman genes worldwide were activated, NuHumans kept awakening, and Queen Medusa rebuilt New Attilan from the ruins of a leaderless people while trying to gather those who had suddenly gained powers. The main thread of this volume centers on the new characters Reader and the girl Xiaoyi: after being attacked by bounty hunters, the two make their way to the Ennilux Corporation hidden in Venice; what this secretive institution is actually doing also gradually surfaces in this volume. Meanwhile, New Attilan holds a funeral for the fallen, Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) comes to pay her respects, and Gorgon must face questioning from United Nations inspectors. Medusa, whose personality was "inverted" by the AXIS event, also reveals a fearsome other side in this volume. Written by Charles Soule and drawn by Ryan Stegman, this volume is a key chapter for understanding the series' mid-run political intrigue and conspiracy threads.
Editor's review
《异人》是漫威在2014年力推的一支系列,由《超胆侠》《金刚狼之死》时期的当红编剧查尔斯·索尔执笔,讲述泰瑞根迷雾遍洒全球之后,异人族从月球的隐秘王朝被迫走进人类社会的故事。它既有王室政治的权谋感,也有街头新人的成长线,被宣传为「异人版权力的游戏」。 第9册处在全书的中段,也是全书线索最密集的位置之一:一边是美杜莎在新阿提兰城处理外交、葬礼与难民的琐事,一边是「读者」这条暗线正式牵出恩尼勒克斯公司,为后续的阴谋铺路。斯泰格曼的分镜清晰、动作节奏利落,配合《轴心》留下的「性格倒转」设定,让美杜莎的每一次亮相都带着寒意。 如果从第1册一路读下来,这一册是承上启下的枢纽;如果只想看「异人族如何从隐秘种族变成全球议题」,本册里新阿提兰城与联合国核查人员的对峙,也是极有代表性的一幕。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追读漫威2014年《异人》系列、想补全中段剧情的读者
- 对异人族、美杜莎、黑蝠王等角色世界观感兴趣的人
- 喜欢「超能力社会议题+王室权谋」混合口味的欧美漫画读者
- 正在补《无限》《轴心》大事件相关联动刊的漫威粉丝
Not a good fit for
- 完全没接触过异人族设定、希望从第一部读起的入门读者
- 偏好单本完结、独立成篇故事的读者
- 期待本册包含完整故事弧光、不看前后册也能读通的人
Reading tips
- 建议先读本系列第1—8册,了解泰瑞根迷雾、新阿提兰城的来龙去脉再进入本册。
- 阅读前可简单了解《轴心》(AXIS)事件,美杜莎在本册中的异常举止与此直接相关。
- 读完本册后接着读第10册「暗黑女王」,两条线索会在随后几册汇合。
