Summary

This is Volume 6 of the series, corresponding to issue #6 of Marvel's 2017 series U.S.Avengers. At this point the Marvel Universe is in the grip of the Secret Empire event: Steve Rogers, controlled by Hydra, is secretly rewriting the order of the world under the name Captain America. In this volume Rogers turns his attention to A.I.M. (Avengers Idea Mechanics), the super-scientist organization rebuilt by Roberto da Costa (Sunspot, now using the identity Citizen V) and committed to working with S.H.I.E.L.D. Rogers sees it as a variable that could upset his plans. To prevent these scientists, who command advanced technology and have been trained to resist mind control, from becoming a threat, Rogers strikes first, seeking to absorb or fully control A.I.M. Meanwhile Roberto's ambitions suffer setback after setback, and trust within the team is tested; more worryingly, the life of teammate Cannonball (Sam Guthrie) is put on the line, with the comic even posing the question "Are we really going to kill Cannonball?" This volume is also a Secret Empire tie-in, and the situation on the European front and several guest characters appear around it. The overall tone shifts between lively team action and political intrigue, setting up later developments.

Editor's review

如果只看封面,你会以为这又是一支换汤不换药的“爱国主题”复仇者;翻开之后才发现,艾尔·尤因写的其实是一场关于“谁来定义美国”的辩论。这支队伍的成分本身就带着反讽意味:巴西移民出身的太阳黑子、戴着“钢铁爱国者”装甲的何东妮、身份被装甲覆盖、来历神秘的谜客、永远乐观的松鼠女,以及脾气火爆的红浩克。他们要向一个已经不信任英雄的国家证明自己,而偏偏在这一册里,那个“国家”的化身是九头蛇的美国队长。尤因很擅长在密集的动作场面里塞进政治隐喻,帕科·梅迪纳的画风则利落明快,红浩克的重拳、松鼠女的脱线笑点、欧洲战场上的客串英雄都能让人眼前一亮。本册适合已经读过前几册、并且了解《秘密帝国》背景的读者;如果你喜欢“超级英雄版职场与政治剧”,这一册的反派动机和团队内耗会比单纯打斗更有看头。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 《秘密帝国》大事件中复仇者相关分支的章节
  • 喜欢团队群像、政治阴谋与超级英雄混搭的读者
  • 对松鼠女、红浩克、钢铁爱国者等角色感兴趣的漫威迷
  • 已读过本系列前几册,想继续跟进的收集党

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没接触过漫威2017年漫画线、不熟悉《秘密帝国》背景的读者
  • 只想看单本完整故事、不愿追连载的读者
  • 偏好严肃写实题材、对超能力设定无感的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先补读《秘密帝国》主线,至少了解“九头蛇美国队长”的设定,否则很多动机难以理解。
  2. 按系列顺序从第1册读起,本册人物关系和A.I.M.的背景铺垫都在前面。
  3. 留意每册开头的“前情提要”和角色小传,能把出场人物快速对上号。
  4. 读完本册后可接着读第7、8册,欧洲战场和加农炮的线索会在后面延续。

FAQ

《美国复仇者 第6册》是原创中文故事吗?
不是。它对应漫威2017年连载《U.S.Avengers》第6期,编剧是艾尔·尤因(Al Ewing),绘者是帕科·梅迪纳(Paco Medina),属于该系列的汉化引进版。
没读过《秘密帝国》能直接看这一册吗?
能读,但会损失不少背景信息。本册是《秘密帝国》支线,核心冲突建立在“九头蛇版美国队长掌控局面”这一前提上,建议先补读主线或至少查一下事件梗概。
这一册的主角是谁?
以罗伯托·达·科斯塔(太阳黑子,即公民V)和他在A.I.M.的团队为核心,红浩克、松鼠女、谜客、钢铁爱国者托尼·何、加农炮等人均有戏份。
本册是“美国复仇者”系列的最后一册吗?
不是。本系列原版共12期,之后与《非凡复仇者》《复仇者》合并,进入周刊《复仇者:无投降》的连载。
中文版信息(出版社、ISBN)在哪里可以查到?
目前公开书目资料中未能核实到本册中文版的出版方与ISBN,购买前建议查看实书版权页或向卖家确认,以免买到不同版本。
