Series: Gravity

Summary

Greg Willis was an ordinary teenager from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The summer after he graduated from high school, he was swallowed by a mysterious black hole while on his family's yacht. When his parents found him hours later, he was completely unharmed—but from then on he could control gravity. To make a living with this ability, he moved east to New York and enrolled at New York University to study licensing and merchandising. By day he was Greg, a freshman; by night he patrolled the streets of Manhattan as the masked hero Gravity. Reality, however, proved far harder than he imagined: on his first outing he mistook the hero Rage for a villain and let the real killer, Black Death, escape. He had to face veteran criminals like the Rhino, the Shocker, and Whirlwind, while also grappling with unpaid tuition, coursework he couldn't keep up with, and his overly enthusiastic roommate, Frog. Worse still, a hero calling himself the Greenwich Guardian offered him friendship, yet the man's vicious methods left Greg uneasy. The series' main thread follows Black Death's relentless harassment and humiliation of this newcomer, a dangerous conspiracy closing in on the NYU campus, and the tentative romance between Greg and his classmate Lauren Singh, repeatedly tested by his double life. This is Volume 4 of the series, based on the five-issue miniseries Gravity published by Marvel in 2005, released in a compact collected edition aimed at young readers.

Editor's review

这是一部少见的「不拯救宇宙，只拯救开学第一周」的漫威作品。肖恩·麦基弗与迈克·诺顿——独立漫画《等待之处》的搭档——把镜头对准一个刚离开中西部小城、拖着行李箱走进纽约的新生。他的超能力不是诅咒也不是天选，而更像一份需要经营的兼职：注册姓名、谈周边授权、盘算房租，一边被犀牛人撞飞，一边担心期末成绩。诺顿的画风干净利落，动作场面有爆发力，校园日常也画得松弛有趣；麦基弗的台词则带着独立漫画式的自嘲与诚恳。与同时期的《终极蜘蛛侠》或《少年复仇者》相比，重力侠的对手层级低得多，焦虑也具体得多——正是这种「小」，让他的胜利显得可信。老读者能看到对八十年代《神奇蜘蛛侠》的致敬，新读者则不必补任何前情也能顺畅读完。第4册延续这条成长线的推进，是收集全套时不可跳过的一段。

Reading tips

建议从系列第1册按顺序读起，主线围绕主角与「黑死」的对抗逐步递进。
不必提前补读其他漫威刊，本系列基本自成一册，前情负担很小。
可留意图中主角在校园与街头之间的切换，这是全书叙事的核心结构。
读完后若意犹未尽，可续读《Beyond!》与《神奇四侠》中重力侠的后续登场。

FAQ

「重力4」指的是哪本书？

指向漫威2005年五期迷你系列《Gravity》（中文常译「重力侠」）的第4册，即该系列第4期内容，主角为格雷格·威利斯。它不是整套合订本，请勿与其他同名作品混淆。

没读过前三册能直接看第4册吗？

可以读懂单册情节，但主线反派「黑死」与主角的恩怨、以及与同学劳伦的关系都在前几册铺垫，按顺序阅读体验会完整得多。

重力侠的能力具体是什么？

他能操控引力：降低自身重力实现飞行，改变周围物体的重力以模拟超强力量，也可吸引或排斥物体，是一种偏物理、而非能量射击型的能力。

这个角色后来还出现在哪些漫画里？

此后他出现在《Beyond!》《神奇四侠》《复仇者：倡议》《少年同盟》《恐惧本源：青年起义》等刊中，并一度成为「宇宙守护者」。

有中文正式出版版本吗？

目前可核实的中文版本信息有限，原版为2005年漫威出版的五期迷你系列及120页合订本（ISBN 9780785117988），购买前请确认版本与语言。

About the author

迈克尔·诺顿 Author

Michael Norton is an author with limited bibliographic information in this Chinese-language book database. The only confirmed work is The Power of Ritual, which is classified under applied psychology. Because public information is limited, his nationality, dates of birth and death, educational background, and specific experiences cannot be verified, so little should be inferred about his life. Judging from the available work, Norton focuses on the relationship between everyday rituals and psychological states, and tends to translate psychological concepts into practical, real-life scenarios. He writes for general readers in plain language, emphasizing examples and practical suggestions rather than piling up jargon or building grand theories. This kind of subject matter is common in applied psychology and is suitable for readers interested in habits, emotional regulation, and order in daily life. It should be noted that a single work is not enough to judge his overall writing style or academic orientation; readers who wish to learn more may consult the original book itself.
