Summary

This volume is issue #2 of the 2016 Marvel Star-Lord second series, and the second part of the "Grounded" storyline by writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Kris Anka. Following the setup of the previous issue, the Guardians of the Galaxy are stranded on Earth for various reasons, and leader Peter Quill (Star-Lord) must temporarily leave his interstellar life behind and settle in New York—which, for him, is trickier than facing any cosmic threat. This volume continues the "Mr. Grounded" episodic plot: Quill, accustomed to the stars, is forced to fit into ordinary people's daily order, and what he faces are no longer alien fleets but a whole set of Earthling rules, neighbors, old acquaintances, and the collision between the trouble he caused across the galaxy and Earth law. Earth heroes such as Daredevil and Ms. Marvel also cross paths with him, making the situation of this "new guardian of Earth" even more absurdly funny. Published as a single issue, it is short and leans toward character work and humorous beats; it is an important piece for understanding the style of Zdarsky's solo Star-Lord series. For the full picture, read it together with issue #1 and the issues that follow.

Editor's review

星爵有一阵子没有个人系列了,而这次接手的是擅长冷幽默和日常荒诞的Chip Zdarsky,配图则是以服装设计见长、画面干净利落的Kris Anka。两人合作的思路很清楚:把这位“银河系最不靠谱的领袖”按回地面,让他重新学做人。于是我们看到的不再是端着重炮轰击外星舰队的星爵,而是一个失业、没房子、还要应付地球规矩的彼得·奎尔。本册作为“Mr. Grounded”故事线的第二期,剧情承接前一期的尴尬处境,节奏轻快,笑点密集,同时借夜魔侠、惊奇女士等角色的登场,把星爵放回漫威纽约的街头脉络里。对只想看大场面的读者来说,它可能不够“燃”;但如果你喜欢那种在超级英雄外套之下写普通人窘迫的漫画,这一期正好对味。适合与第1期连读,作为一段小品的组成部分。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 漫威宇宙系角色爱好者,尤其喜欢星爵和银河护卫队
  • 喜欢Chip Zdarsky式冷幽默和日常向超级英雄故事的读者
  • 想了解“接地气”时期彼得·奎尔人物状态的老读者
  • 习惯追单期连载、想收集2016年星爵系列的漫画收藏者

Not a good fit for

  • 期待宏大星际战争场面的读者,本册偏日常与小格局
  • 完全不了解星爵背景、想从零入门漫威宇宙的新读者
  • 希望一期读完整段故事的读者,本册需要前后期连读

Reading tips

  1. 先读同系列第1期,理解“落地地球”设定的来龙去脉,再读本册会顺畅许多。
  2. 阅读时留意画面中的表情与服装细节,Kris Anka的分镜和造型设计是本册的看点之一。
  3. 读完可接着读该系列后续期,直至合订本《Star-Lord: Grounded》收录的结局部分。
  4. 对白中有不少美式幽默与纽约生活梗,遇到不熟的指涉可借助背景资料对照理解。

FAQ

这本书是单期漫画还是合订本?
这是2016年漫威《星爵》第二卷系列的第2期单行本,并非合订本。该系列后来被收进《Star-Lord: Grounded》合订本,想读完整故事线可考虑合订本。
这一期的编剧和画师是谁?
编剧为Chip Zdarsky,画师兼封面画师为Kris Anka,编辑为Jordan D. White。这也是Zdarsky与Anka合作的星爵个人系列。
没读过第1期能直接读第2期吗?
可以读,但会缺失不少前情。本册是“Grounded”故事线的第二部分,承接第1期“星爵被困地球、生活一团糟”的设定,建议按顺序阅读。
这本的中文版信息能查到吗?
目前检索到的可靠资料仅涉及英文原版(2017年1月发行),未核实到正式的中文简体版出版信息,因此出版社、ISBN等字段未填写,请以实际购买的版本为准。
