Starfire #7

Summary
This volume is issue #7 of the Starfire solo series launched by DC in 2015, co-written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti (released December 9, 2015). The story continues the life of Koriand'r after she leaves the Outlaws and settles in Key West, Florida: on one hand, her romance with Coast Guard member Sol Gomez heats up as the two share a sunset dinner aboard the sightseeing cruise ship "Sea Queen"; on the other, Sol has never gotten over the death of his former fiancée Maria in a hurricane, and a kiss brings back this painful memory. Meanwhile, a man disguised as a passenger is tracking a high-risk device that could cause mass casualties—none other than Dick Grayson, believed by the world to be dead. Operating as an undercover agent, he unexpectedly reunites with Koriand'r aboard the ship; the two join forces to seize the detonation device, bringing old feelings back to the surface. At the same time, the daily-life thread of Sheriff Stella Gomez and the townspeople continues to unfold. The title story of this issue, "Surrender," juxtaposes the lighthearted vacation atmosphere with action and old romance, and is the opening installment of the "A Matter of Time" storyline spanning issues #7–12. This volume is the seventh issue of the series.
Editor's review
《星火》2015 年个人连载是康纳与帕尔缪蒂在《哈莉·奎茵》之后又一次“把硬派英雄写成生活喜剧”的尝试:柯莉安妲不再是团队书里那个战力担当,而是一个要租拖车、找工作、学着和地球人打交道的异星公主。第 7 期是这条轻快基调里的一次“加料”——游船晚餐、错位的语言笑话、突如其来的特工行动,再加上迪克·格雷森的登场,让读者在笑闹之间被一段关于失去的回忆击中。艾曼努埃拉·卢帕基诺的分镜与 Hi-Fi 的高饱和上色依旧是全书的门面,佛罗里达的橙色夕阳与星火的火焰长发几乎要烧出纸面。对新读者而言,这一期是认识“生活流星火”的合适入口;对老读者而言,它是少年泰坦旧情线的一次关键转折。需要提醒的是,它是 32 页的单期漫画,不是完整故事集,若想读完整个篇章,还需接续第 8 至 12 期。

Reading tips
- 建议先读第 1 至 6 期(合集《欢迎回家》),了解柯莉安妲定居基韦斯特与索尔一家的来龙去脉。
- 读本册前可补一点《格雷森》系列背景,能更好理解迪克·格雷森“假死做特工”的处境。
- 本册是“时间问题”篇章开端,读完可直接接第 8 至 12 期或合集《A Matter of Time》。
- 留意索尔回忆玛丽亚的闪回段落,它是理解本卷情感冲突的关键。
FAQ
《星火 第7册》是单期漫画还是合集?
它是 DC 2015 年《星火》个人连载的第 7 期,2015 年 12 月 9 日发行,约 32 页的单期漫画,并非收录多期的合集。合集版对应的是《Starfire Vol. 2: A Matter of Time》,收录第 7 至 12 期。
没读过前 6 期能看懂这一册吗?
基本能看懂主线,但会缺少基韦斯特小镇人物关系(谢里夫斯特拉、索尔、房东一家)与索尔前未婚妻玛丽亚之死的铺垫,建议先读第 1 至 6 期合集《欢迎回家》。
这一期的编剧和画师是谁?
编剧为阿曼达·康纳与吉米·帕尔缪蒂;铅笔稿由艾曼努埃拉·卢帕基诺绘制(米尔科·皮耶费德里奇协助),墨线为雷·麦卡锡与肖恩·帕森斯,上色为 Hi-Fi,封面由阿曼达·康纳绘制。
星火和夜翼在这一期发生了什么?
迪克·格雷森以特工身份伪装登上游船执行任务,被柯莉安妲识破;两人联手阻止高危武器装置落入他人之手,结尾有一场吻戏,把两人的旧情重新摆上台面,也埋下新恋情与旧恋人之间的取舍难题。
