Summary

This volume is issue #2 of Ultimate Nightmare, a five-issue limited series in the Ultimate Marvel universe, written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Trevor Hairsine, published by Marvel Comics in September 2004. The story begins when a mysterious broadcast invades global communications systems. Images of death and destruction keep appearing on television and computer screens, driving countless people to take their own lives. The intense psychic disturbance alerts both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Professor Charles Xavier, and the two trails ultimately lead to Tunguska in Siberia, Russia—a wasteland struck by a comet more than a century earlier. In issue #2, two teams arrive in the Tunguska region in succession: the S.H.I.E.L.D. squad led by Nick Fury (Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon) and the X-Men team sent by Charles Xavier (Jean Grey, Wolverine, Colossus). The wasteland is covered with mutated creatures and bizarre signs. Neither team knows of the other's existence, and stranger things are about to happen. This is the pivotal, bridge-building volume in Ultimate Nightmare, an important chapter laying groundwork for the Ultimate Galactus Trilogy.

Editor's review

《终极恶梦》是沃伦·埃利斯在终极宇宙里少见的一部“悬疑恐怖式”超级英雄故事:没有一眼可见的强敌,只有侵入全球的信号、被掩盖的苏联旧实验,以及通古斯荒原上无法解释的变异。第2册正是全书氛围最浓的阶段——两条互不知情的队伍同时逼近真相,读者却比他们多知道一点,这种信息差带来的压迫感非常“埃利斯”。 本册由特雷弗·海尔辛(Trevor Hairsine)作画,画面冷峻、克制的分镜与荒凉的雪原场景配合得相当好。对熟悉终极宇宙的读者来说,这一册还是理解“行星吞噬者三部曲”整体脉络的必读环节;对喜欢阴谋、军事惊悚和变异题材的读者,也是很好的入口。原文为英语单期漫画,阅读时建议配合前后册一并理解。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢漫威终极宇宙(Earth-1610)世界观的读者
  • 偏爱悬疑、阴谋与军事惊悚氛围的漫画读者
  • 对沃伦·埃利斯编剧作品有偏好的读者
  • 想系统补完“行星吞噬者三部曲”的收藏者

Not a good fit for

  • 希望阅读独立完整故事、不想追连载的读者
  • 偏好明亮、轻松、搞笑风格超级英雄故事的读者
  • 对变异生物、人体实验等恐怖元素敏感的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读第1册了解广播事件与通古斯线索,再进入本册,理解两支队伍的行动逻辑会更顺畅。
  2. 本册原文为英语单期漫画,可对照后文或合集版《Ultimate Galactus Trilogy》一并阅读。
  3. 注意画面中的苏联旧设施与变异人细节,它们是埃利斯铺设世界观的关键伏笔。

FAQ

《终极恶梦》一共有几册?
《终极恶梦》(Ultimate Nightmare)是五期连载的单行本,第1至5期于2004年至2005年陆续出版,另有合集版《Ultimate Nightmare》以及《Ultimate Galactus Trilogy》收录全五期。
没读过第1册能直接看第2册吗?
会有些吃力。第2册直接延续第1册中全球广播事件与通古斯线索,两队人马如何抵达、为何出发都在前册交代,建议按顺序阅读。
这本和《终极秘密》《终极灭绝》是什么关系?
三者同属沃伦·埃利斯编剧的“行星吞噬者三部曲”:《终极恶梦》为第一部,其后是《终极秘密》与《终极灭绝》,三者共享终极宇宙的时间线。
