Summary

This volume is the second in the Reborn series and contains the second part of the main storyline of Captain America: Reborn. The story picks up right after the aftermath of Captain America's assassination in Captain America #25: the shot that hit Steve Rogers was no ordinary bullet but a special weapon built with technology connected to Doctor Doom, freezing his body at a certain point in time and space so that he did not truly die. Sharon Carter, the Falcon, Hank Pym, and others investigate the gun and Sharon's memories from the time she was controlled by the Red Skull. In this volume, Steve is trapped in his own past and forced to relive the most indelible fragments of his life one by one: his mother's death from illness, the injection of the Super-Soldier Serum, the European theater of World War II, and the years fighting side by side with Bucky. He gradually realizes that he cannot change the past and can only endure it. Meanwhile, the current Captain America, Bucky Barnes, the Black Widow, and others continue to contend with Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers and H.A.M.M.E.R.; Reed Richards and Pym try to find in Sharon the key to bringing Steve back to the present. The struggle among multiple forces makes the situation increasingly unfavorable, and the conspiracy on the Red Skull's side reveals an even more vicious face.

Editor's review

布鲁贝克在《美国队长》长篇连载中写出的「重生」,是漫威把「英雄之死」写成一整部史诗之后的收束篇章。与许多大事件不同,它并不追求独立成篇的爽感:效果好坏,很大程度上取决于读者是否跟随过巴基接盾、莎伦被控制、红骷髅借卢金之身复生这些前情。本册的价值正在于把「史蒂夫回到过去」从猎奇设定推进为情感推进力:英雄被囚禁在无法更改的往事里,只能一次次看着母亲离世、战友倒下,这种无力感比任何打斗更有分量。布莱恩·希契的分镜气势恢宏,二战段落用明亮土色,当下「黑暗王朝」段落用阴影与冷蓝,两段时空在视觉上截然分开,看画本身就很值回时间。适合已经读过《冬日战士》《美国队长之死》的读者把它当作长跑的终点站;若只想随便翻一本超级英雄漫画,可能会在密集的人名与线索中迷路。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 已读过《冬日战士》《美国队长之死》等布鲁贝克版前情的读者
  • 喜欢政治惊悚、谍战氛围而非单纯打斗的超级英雄漫画迷
  • 欣赏布莱恩·希契「宽银幕」式大场面分镜的画迷
  • 对「英雄如何面对自己的过去」这一母题感兴趣的人

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没接触过漫威漫画、想从零入门的读者
  • 期待单册自成一体、剧情闭合的读者
  • 偏好轻松搞笑或画风简洁作品的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先补《美国队长之死》与《美国队长》第600期,再读本册,线索会清楚得多。
  2. 留意二战段落与当下段落的配色差异,那是区分两条时间线的关键提示。
  3. 人名较密,可随手记下巴基、莎伦、红骷髅、辛、毁灭博士几条支线的推进。
  4. 读完本册不要停,接着看后续部分,才能看到史蒂夫与红骷髅的最终对决。

FAQ

《重生》第2册是《美国队长:重生》的第2期吗?
《美国队长:重生》原为六期限定连载,中文版《重生》按册分装,本册对应其中的第2个部分,即Reborn Part 2。因此它不是另一部作品,而是同一主线故事的第二段。
没看过前面能直接读这本吗?
可以读,但会损失不少理解。本册大量承接《美国队长之死》的结局,以及莎伦被红骷髅控制、巴基接任美国队长等前情,建议至少先读《美国队长之死》与第600期。
史蒂夫在美国队长之死里是真的死了吗?
不是。按照《重生》揭示的设定,击中他的枪来自毁灭博士相关技术,把他在时空中冻结而非杀死,所以他一直被卡在自己人生的各个时间点上,这也解释了全书的时间穿越设定。
画师是谁?
原版《美国队长:重生》由艾德·布鲁贝克编剧,布莱恩·希契负责铅笔线稿,布奇·盖斯负责墨线,保罗·芒茨上色。希契此前因《终极战队》成名,以电影感大场面构图著称。
