Summary

"Yi Mo" is one of the Chinese renderings of Bizarro, the Superman clone in DC Comics. In 2015, DC launched a six-issue solo miniseries for the character, written by Heath Corson and drawn by Gustavo Duarte—the first time Bizarro had a true standalone series. The story pairs the "reverse Superman" with Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, and the two drive across America, earning travel money by catching bounty targets for others, getting caught up in absurd and out-of-control mishaps along the way and crossing paths with various DC characters. The book's humor rests on the antihero's clumsiness and good-heartedness, and it takes an overall light, zany approach, officially positioned as an all-ages comedy adventure. This is Volume 4 of the series, corresponding to issue #4 of the original run, and contains the complete content of that issue. Owing to limited information on the Chinese edition, the specific plot of this volume is not itemized here; consult the physical book's table of contents and the original issue numbering.

Editor's review

把「超人最强反派之一」写成全系列最好笑的角色,这件事只有 DC 敢做也做成了。比扎罗说话颠三倒四、办事永远办反,配上吉米·奥尔森这个被折腾到心力交瘁的搭档,笑点几乎从第一页就停不下来。杜阿尔特的画风卡通化、表情夸张,节奏明快,翻起来非常轻松。更难得的是,搞笑之外它没有丢掉角色的悲情底色:一个被造出来只为取代别人的失败复制品,在旅途中渐渐学会了「在乎」。第 4 册延续了系列向经典 DC 角色致敬的传统,客串角色带来不少会心一笑的彩蛋。适合想从沉重主线里抽离、轻松翻上二十来页的读者。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢 DC 反英雄与冷门角色的资深漫迷
  • 想在碎片时间轻松阅读的漫画读者
  • 对无厘头美式幽默和公路喜剧感兴趣的人
  • 想带孩子进入美漫世界、寻找全年龄向作品的家庭读者

Not a good fit for

  • 期待严肃黑暗向超级英雄叙事的读者
  • 对卡通化夸张画风接受度低、偏好写实风格的人

Reading tips

  1. 建议先了解比扎罗「能力与超人相反、说话颠倒」的基本设定,笑点会成倍。
  2. 从第 1 册按顺序读起效果更好,本册承接前几册的公路旅行与追捕线。
  3. 可留意背景中出现的其他 DC 角色与地标,很多是给老读者的致敬彩蛋。
  4. 当作轻阅读随手翻,不必纠结时间线,与 DC 主线大事件相对独立。

FAQ

「异魔」和「比扎罗」是同一个人吗?
是。Bizarro 在中文里既译作「比扎罗」,也译作「异魔」,指的都是 DC 漫画中超人那个能力相反、智力受损的克隆体,1959 年首次登场于《动作漫画》。
这一册是完整的独立故事吗?
不是。它属于 2015 年推出的六期连载,各期之间是连续的公路冒险,本册为其中的第 4 册,建议按顺序阅读才能理解人物关系与前后线索。
作者和出版社信息为什么是空的?
本书为国内流传的中文合集版本,公开渠道未能核实到确切的出版社、出版年、ISBN 与字数,因此按规范留空,避免提供错误书目数据。
