Venomized Vol. 3

Summary
Venomized is a five-issue Marvel miniseries launched in 2018, written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Iban Coello, following on from the setup of Venomverse: an alien species called the Poisons grows stronger by devouring symbiote hosts, "poisoning" heroes from the New Testament era and across the multiverse one by one and turning them into their own fighting force. Volume 3 is the turning point at the midpoint of the book: the Poisons have already corrupted one of Earth's mightiest heroes, and Earth's heroes must rise up against their own comrades. Thor's union with a poison symbiote is rejected by Mjolnir, the poisoned shell collapses, and Jane Foster emerges in human form, proving for the first time that being poisoned is not irreversible. Meanwhile, young heroes and veteran heroes disagree over how to treat their poisoned companions; Flash Thompson (Anti-Venom) discovers that his unique ability can utterly destroy the Poisons, and so teams up with Eddie Brock and Peter Parker as a strike squad, planning to capture a Poison alive for interrogation; and Kid Kaiju summons giant monsters to evacuate civilians from the Brooklyn Bridge, the volume's most dazzling battle. This is volume 3 of 5 in the series, corresponding to the English edition Venomized (2018) #3.
Editor's review
毒液题材在国内读者群中热度极高,但多数人熟悉的是电影里的埃迪与共生体,而《毒液化》呈现的是漫画版更大格局的“共生体战争”。这一册是中段的枢纽:英雄被吞噬、被转化、再被救回的可能性第一次被摆上台面,随即引爆立场撕裂——世代之间、情义与理智之间的冲突被压缩在有限的页数里。邦恩的群像调度在这一册里相当出彩,怪兽小子、新星、月之少女、反毒液特工各有高光;科埃略的线条凌厉,色彩师马特·亚基的打光让共生体质感压迫感十足。若你正追《毒液宇宙》三部曲,这一册不可跳过。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 已读过《毒液宇宙》系列,想继续追后续大事件的读者
- 喜欢共生体设定与超级英雄群像战的漫威粉丝
- 关注反毒液特工、怪兽小子等较少出场角色的读者
- 想了解2018年毒液电影之外漫画原著体系的电影观众
Not a good fit for
- 从未接触漫威漫画、需要完整前情铺垫的纯新读者
- 偏好独立完整故事、不希望中途切入连载的读者
- 对共生体黏液形变画面较敏感的低龄读者
Reading tips
- 建议先读《毒液边缘》《毒液宇宙》,再接本系列第1、2册,剧情连贯性会好很多。
- 阅读时留意“毒化不可逆”这一设定的反转,它是后半段英雄立场分裂的核心动因。
- 可对照英文原版 Issue #3 阅读,中译版术语如上译名可能存在差异,以实际版本为准。
- 看完本册不妨回看封面:毒化版妙尔尼尔是本期主题的视觉提示,与正文呼应。
FAQ
这本书是《毒液化》全五册合集吗?
不是。这是五期迷你连载中的第3册(对应 Venomized 2018 #3),单册约30余页。如需完整故事,需要收齐第1至第5期或购买合集本。
没读过《毒液宇宙》能直接看这一册吗?
会有些吃力。本系列承接《毒液边缘》《毒液宇宙》,毒化者、反毒液特工等设定都是延续而来,直接从中段进入容易对人物关系和立场感到困惑。
这册里索尔发生了什么事?
索尔被毒化者吞食并与共生体结合,但妙尔尼尔认定其不再有资格而拒绝他,毒化外壳随之瓦解,简·福斯特得以以人类之身脱出,这也成为英雄们看到转机的重要节点。
本册的编剧和画师是谁?
编剧为卡伦·邦恩(Cullen Bunn),内页绘制为伊万·科埃略(Iban Coello),色彩由马特·亚基(Matt Yackey)负责,封面由尼克·布拉德肖(Nick Bradshaw)绘制。
