Summary

U.S.Avengers is a team comic launched by Marvel in 2017 during its "Marvel NOW!" phase, written by Al Ewing and continuing threads from his earlier New Avengers. In the story, the billionaire superhero Sunspot, Roberto da Costa, reorganizes the former A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) into American Intelligence Mechanics, working with S.H.I.E.L.D. to rebuild a line of defense for Americans who no longer trust intelligence agencies. The team includes Roberto, now called Citizen V; his best friend Cannonball; Squirrel Girl; Enigma (formerly Pod); Toni Ho, who takes up the Iron Patriot name; and the new Red Hulk, among others. Red, white, and blue color schemes, absurdly exaggerated monster threats, and lighthearted, humorous dialogue give the series its distinctively "American" flavor. This volume is the fourth Chinese-language volume of the series; the exact English issues and chapter divisions it collects could not be verified, so only the series' overall background is introduced here, without speculating about this volume's specific plot.

Editor's review

漫威宇宙里从来不缺“拯救世界”的团队,但《美国复仇者》少见的是一身“爱国营销”式的荒诞感:一支由超级富豪改装情报机构、穿着红白蓝打怪的队伍,边打边吐槽,把美国式商业、政治与娱乐一并塞进漫画格子里。艾尔·尤因是近年漫威最会写“怪趣设定+认真感情”的编剧之一,他在这个系列里给松鼠女孩、加农炮、谜这些角色安排了大量互相拆台的日常,让团队感比大事件本身更有看头。对追过《新复仇者》、想继续跟A.I.M.这条线的读者来说,本系列是自然的下一站;对刚入坑的读者,人物关系虽多,但节奏明快、信息密度高,读起来并不吃力。中文版按册推出,建议按顺序阅读,以免错过队伍组建与立场转变的关键节点。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 已读过《新复仇者》、想继续追A.I.M.线的漫威读者
  • 喜欢松鼠女孩、加农炮等二线角色群像的粉丝
  • 偏好轻松幽默、动作夸张风格的超英漫画读者
  • 想了解《秘密帝国》前后漫威宇宙格局变化的读者

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没接触过漫威漫画、希望从零入门的新读者
  • 偏好严肃写实、社会议题向叙事的读者
  • 只追电影宇宙、对漫画平行设定不感兴趣的观众

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读本系列第1—3册,了解A.I.M.改组与队伍成型的来龙去脉。
  2. 阅读时可对照《秘密帝国》大事件背景,更容易理解角色的立场与处境。
  3. 遇到不熟悉的人物不必停下查资料,先顺着故事读完,再回头补人物线。
  4. 按册收集时留意版权页与封底的册次标注,避免与《复仇者世界》等同名系列混淆。

FAQ

《美国复仇者》的英文原名是什么?
英文原名为 U.S.Avengers,是漫威2016年底至2017年连载的团队漫画,编剧为艾尔·尤因(Al Ewing),主笔绘者为帕科·梅迪纳(Paco Medina)等人。
这个系列和《复仇者世界》是同一套书吗?
不是。〔《复仇者世界》中文版由四川美术出版社推出,共4册;《美国复仇者》则是另一条以A.I.M.改组为主线的系列,两套书人物有交集,但册次和故事不能对应。
第4册收录了哪些英文原刊?
目前未能核实到本册对应的确切原刊期次,因此不做推断。英文版《U.S.Avengers》正刊共12期,分为两本合集出版,中文版的拆分方式可能与英文合集不同。
没读过前几册能直接看第4册吗?
可以读,但会缺少队伍组建、A.I.M.改组以及与神盾局关系等背景信息。若想完整理解人物动机,建议从第1册顺序读起。
