Mighty Avengers (2013) Vol. 9
Tags
Summary
This volume collects issue #9 of Mighty Avengers, the series Marvel launched in 2013. The story unfolds along two threads. The first is set in New York: the mysterious Ronin is hunted by a band of ninja were-serpents, the safe house is blown up in the fight, and the mask falls away in the flames, revealing the mystery man as none other than the vampire hunter Blade. He hid his face to escape pursuit by the lineage of his old enemy, the Deathwalkers. The second thread takes place on Dr. Positron's island in the Pacific: Dr. Brashear (Adam Brashear), a man without a country, is drawn into a dimensional incursion connected to an old foe. Years earlier, his elder son Kevin was sucked into the Neutral Zone during a battle with the mad scientist Skorpion and has not been heard from since. Now Kevin's younger brother Max, as Dr. Positron, tries to force his brother back from the other dimension, at the risk of destroying the whole Earth through the collision of matter and antimatter. The swollen, out-of-control Kevin slowly squeezes through the rift; heroes and villains confront each other, and Spectrum turns herself into gamma rays to amplify She-Hulk's strength, barely pushing Kevin back into the Neutral Zone. In the battle, Dr. Brashear is forced to recount how he sacrificed his son to save the world, and the father's grief becomes the emotional core of the volume.
Editor's review
《神威复仇者》是“无限”大事件之后漫威推出的另一支复仇者队伍：卢克·凯奇牵头，成员多是二线甚至被主流忽视的角色——光谱、白虎、神力侠、蓝奇、女绿巨人，还有一位穿万圣节蜘蛛装的神秘人。艾尔·尤因的写法聪明在于，他不把这些人写成“小复仇者”，而是让每个人都有自己的历史与伤口。第9期是这个系列第一次真正“翻底牌”：浪人的面具落下，刀锋战士现身，一条埋了数期的悬念得以兑现；同时无国界博士的家庭悲剧被彻底揭开，一个本该无敌的超级英雄，在儿子面前却什么也做不了。格雷格·兰德与杰伊·莱斯滕的画风光洁、动作凌厉，女绿巨人与巨型凯文的对撞场面颇具压迫感。这一册既是动作戏密集的中段高潮，也是全系列人物弧线的关键转轴，读完会明白以卢克·凯奇为首的这支队伍，靠的不是战力，而是“家人”二字。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追“无限”大事件后续、想补齐复仇者支线的漫威读粉
- 喜欢卢克·凯奇、光谱、蓝奇等二线英雄的读者
- 对刀锋战士与漫威超自然支线感兴趣的读者
- 看重家庭情感线与人物弧线的漫画读者
Not a good fit for
- 第一次读漫威、完全没有“无限”前后背景的新读者
- 只想看钢铁侠、雷神等一线主力英雄大场面的人
- 不接受单期连载、希望一册读完完整故事的读者
Reading tips
- 建议先读本系列第1—8期，弄清浪人的身份悬念与无国界博士家族线，再读本册。
- 若时间有限，可先补“无限”大事件和《神威复仇者》第1卷《No Single Hero》，衔接更顺。
- 留意闪回段落中的“中立区”“死行者”“技术统治”等名词，它们决定了后续故事走向。
- 读完可接第2卷《Family Bonding》，把凯文与马克斯这条家庭支线一次看完。
FAQ
这一册的“神威复仇者”指的是哪支队伍？
指2013年《Mighty Avengers》新系列中的队伍，由卢克·凯奇召集，成员包括光谱、白虎、神力侠、蓝奇、女绿巨人以及神秘的浪人，与2007年皮姆博士那支同名队伍不是同一支。
浪人的真身是谁？
本册中浪人身份揭晓为刀锋战士（埃里克·布鲁克斯）。他之前以万圣节蜘蛛侠服装现身，后来改用浪人身份，就是为了躲避“死行者”一脉的追猎。
本册有独立完整的故事吗？
没有。本册属于系列的中段章节，一边收束浪人身份的悬念，一边展开无国界博士与凯文、马克斯的家庭线，结尾留有明显钩子，需要接读前后几期才能完整理解。
阅读前需要补哪些背景？
至少需要了解“无限”大事件后复仇者主力离队、卢克·凯奇组建新队的设定，以及蓝奇这个角色的来历。补读本系列第1—8期或第1卷单行本即可衔接。
