Uncanny Avengers (2013) #7
Tags
Summary
This volume is issue #7 of Marvel's 2013 series Uncanny Avengers, the official opening of the "Ragnarok Now" arc. The previous issue used a flashback to recount the past of the young Thor, Kang the Conqueror, and Apocalypse around the axe Jarnbjorn; this issue returns to the present: near the sun, Apocalypse's illegitimate son Genocide seeks to inherit his father's position and demands Apocalypse's armor from the Celestials, only to be interrupted by the Uru-Apocalypse twins Uriel and Eimin, believed long gone; Uriel swings the axe and, shockingly, strikes down the Celestials. Meanwhile on Earth, the Avengers Unity Squad is dealing with the fallout from its first public appearance: S.H.I.E.L.D. addresses Rogue's accidental killing of the Grim Reaper in combat, and she is temporarily pulled from field duty; the rift between the Scarlet Witch and Rogue becomes public; and the romantic entanglements among Wonder Man, the Wasp, and Alex Summers continue. Captain America and Sunfire, aboard the space station Sword, face a sudden powerful foe, while Thor races toward the wreckage of the crashed station. The lofty rhetoric of species unity and the squad's internal fracture advance side by side—the most notable tension of this issue. This is issue #7 of the series; Chinese-edition publication details could not be verified.
Editor's review
第 7 期是《神威复仇者》真正开始发力的一期。前几期还在铺垫“复仇者联合小队”的公关首秀和内战遗留的情绪,从这一期起,雷门德把“天启双子”推到台前:他们一出场便向天神组举斧,把整条故事线的规模从街头级别直接拉到宇宙级别。对老读者而言,这一期还接续了《非凡 X 特攻队》中阿卡巴氏族与天启的伏笔,读到会心一笑的地方不少。真正有意思的其实是两条线的对照:一边是漫威宇宙里最宏大、最接近神话的冲突,另一边是地球上几个成年人如何处理误杀、嫉妒与信任——黄蜂女与亚历克斯的暧昧、绯红女巫与罗刹女之间的敌意,读起来更像一部超级英雄肥皂剧。丹尼尔·阿库尼亚的画风色调浓郁、光影强,即便本期赶工痕迹明显,整体氛围仍然到位。如果你想从单期入手感受“漫威 NOW!”时期的复仇者,这一期是个不错的切入口。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追看漫威“漫威 NOW!”时期复仇者线连载的读者
- 对天启、天启双子与 X 战警宇宙设定感兴趣的读者
- 喜欢群像戏与角色人际冲突的超级英雄漫画爱好者
- 已读《非凡 X 特攻队》并想追溯阿卡巴氏族伏笔的读者
Not a good fit for
- 完全没有漫威背景知识、希望从零入门的读者
- 只想看完整故事、不愿读单期连载的读者
- 偏好轻松明快、少悲剧基调作品的读者
Reading tips
- 先读第 6 期了解神斧雅恩比约恩的来历,再进入本期的天启双子登场。
- 阅读时留意罗刹女误杀事件带来的团队裂痕,它会持续影响后续几期。
- 若对天启双子的动机困惑,可回头补《非凡 X 特攻队》阿卡巴氏族相关故事。
- 推荐接续第 8 期(含《奥创纪元》联动)继续阅读,线索会在此收束。
FAQ
这一期是完整的独立故事吗?
不是。本期是《诸神黄昏降临》故事线的开场,紧接第 6 期,线索延伸到第 8 期及之后,单独阅读会有明显悬念。
神威复仇者和非凡复仇者是同一个系列吗?
英文中 Mighty Avengers 一般译作“神威复仇者”,Uncanny Avengers 多译作“非凡复仇者”。本系列英文原名为 Uncanny Avengers(2012/2013 年启动),部分中文资料将其译作“神威复仇者”,与卢克·凯奇领队的另一支队伍容易混淆。
本期有哪些主要登场角色?
复仇者联合小队一方包括亚历克斯·萨默斯(哈沃克)、罗刹女、绯红女巫、奇迹人、黄蜂女、索尔、美国队长、阳炎、金刚狼等;反派方面是天启双子乌列尔与艾敏,以及天启的私生子“灭绝”。
有必要先读《复仇者大战X战警》吗?
有帮助。这支队伍的成立背景源自《复仇者大战 X 战警》后镭射眼一派的争议,了解该事件能更好理解队伍“展示变种人与人类合作”的定位与内部矛盾。
