Venom Vol. 8

Summary
This is issue #8 of the Venom series (2011–2013) and part 3 of the Spider-Island crossover event, released on October 26, 2011. The story follows the Spider-Island event: as a spider-transformation crisis grips all of New York City, Flash Thompson, bonded with Venom, is reeling from the devastating blow of his father's death yet must still carry out his mission as a military agent. In this issue, the members of Project Rebirth 2.0 restore the mutated Spider-King—actually Commander Steve Rogers—to his original form; Venom then joins forces with Commander Rogers to confront the Queen, Adriana Soria, in a decisive underground battle in Central Park. The Queen suppresses the symbiote with telekinesis and sonic waves, and the tide of battle turns several times. Meanwhile, the letter Flash's father left him remains unfinished, serving as the emotional core of this issue. This is volume 8 of the series.
Editor's review
这一册是瑞克·雷曼德(Rick Remender)执笔《毒液》期间最受好评的单期之一,社区评分约4.0/5(累计170余条评分),不少读者称其为「至今最好的毒液单期」。它的看点不只是打斗:一边是毒液与「女王」的硬碰硬,一边是闪电·汤普森与亡父之间未拆封的信。动作场面爽快直接,情感落点却极重,让人重新认识「毒液」不只是蜘蛛侠的反派,而是一个有缺陷、也在努力成为英雄的人。对喜欢「特工毒液」时期、或想补完「蜘蛛岛」事件的读者,这一册不可跳过。

Reading tips
- 先读《毒液》第6—7期,本册是「蜘蛛岛」三连弹的收尾,直接承接前情。
- 同时可对照《神奇蜘蛛侠》「蜘蛛岛」主线,理解女王与全城蛛化的来龙去脉。
- 本册开头有前情回顾页,时间紧张时可先看回顾再进正文。
- 读完可接着读「四人圈」(Circle of Four)故事线,毒液与红浩克、X-23、恶灵骑士登场。
FAQ
这一册和《毒液》第1册是同一本书吗?
不是。这是2011年开启的《毒液》第2卷第8期单行本,属于「蜘蛛岛」交叉事件,与本系列第1期是不同册,需按册号顺序阅读。
没读过「蜘蛛岛」能看懂吗?
大致能看懂。本册有前情回顾页,但涉及全城蛛化、蜘蛛王、女王等重要设定,建议至少了解「蜘蛛岛」事件梗概后再读,体验更完整。
这一册的主角是谁?
主角是闪电·汤普森(Flash Thompson),他以军方特工身份与毒液共生体结合,即读者熟知的「特工毒液」(Agent Venom),彼得·帕克在本册中几乎没有出场。
本册是否有中文版?
目前可核实的是Marvel原版单期(2011年10月26日发行,32页,T+分级)。中文引进版本信息暂未核实到,请以实际出版物为准。
