Summary

Venom #28 belongs to Marvel's Venom Volume 2, launched in 2011; it is issue #28, titled "The Land Where the Killers Dwell," released on December 19, 2012. The writer is Cullen Bunn, the artist Thony Silas, the inker Nelson DeCastro, the colorist Chris Sotomayor, and the cover artist Shane Davis. After the events of the previous arc, Flash Thompson leaves New York as Agent Venom, hoping to start over in another city and rethink what it means to be a hero. In this issue, reporter Katy Kiernan is in danger while investigating a string of disappearances in Philadelphia and calls on Venom for help; Flash comes to Philadelphia and is drawn into a conflict with the villain team the U-Foes (Vector, Vapor, X-Ray, and Ironclad). The U-Foes go on a killing spree in the city, though their purpose remains unclear. The story also involves characters such as Valkyrie. This issue is the key installment in which Cullen Bunn takes over Venom and moves the story's stage to Philadelphia; it marks the start of the series' Philadelphia era and is the 28th issue of the series.

Editor's review

这一期是《毒液》系列重要的“换城开局”。Rick Remender 离开后,Cullen Bunn 接手编剧,并干脆让闪电·汤普森离开纽约,把故事搬到费城——这个决定背后有编辑 Tom Brennan 的私人情感:他曾在费城居住,希望这座城市也有自己的超级英雄。于是费城的地标、街区与历史成了故事真正的背景,不只起装饰作用。 就这一册而言,Bunn 处理动作和黑暗场面的能力受到读者肯定。U-Foes 是漫威老牌反派,四名成员能力各异,包括超强力量、瓦斯、射线和气流等;他们在旅馆外对平民痛下杀手,场景压抑、血腥,也让闪电作为英雄的无力感格外突出。画师 Thony Silas 与勾线 Nelson DeCastro 的配合颇受好评,费城首次登场的整页大图与打斗分镜都很有冲击力。 对追连载的读者,这是承上启下的一册;对想了解“特工毒液”时期走向的读者,它也是理解后续《Devil's Pack》剧情的必要起点。

  3. 读完后可接着读第29期及合集《Venom: Devil's Pack》,继续了解费城阶段剧情
