Summary

This is issue No. 26 of Iron Man (the Marvel NOW series launched in 2012), part four of "Rings of the Mandarin," continuing the events of the previous issue. To recover the Mandarin's rings, which have fallen into the hands of Malekith, king of the Dark Elves, Tony Stark ventures into Svartalfheim, the Dark Elves' realm. Malekith holds more than one ring, and the remaining rings have each found new bearers, who come to demand their rings back from the Dark Elf ruler; cornered, Malekith proposes a deal to Iron Man—giving Tony his rings in exchange for Tony getting him out. Meanwhile, Tony's relationship with his "brother" Arno Stark continues to develop, the mystic ally Shevaun Haldane, the Dark Angel, is involved, and four rings are ultimately taken out of the Dark Elf realm and sealed away under multiple safeguards. This volume is issue No. 26 of the series, about twenty-odd pages, a middle chapter of a multi-issue arc whose plot is tightly connected to the issues before and after; the storyline spans Tony's cosmic adventures, family secrets, and the Mandarin's legacy.

Editor's review

把漫威的宇宙奇幻与科技英雄放在一起,是基隆·吉伦执掌《钢铁侠》2012年连载时期最鲜明的取向。本期正处在「十戒之战」的叙事中段:一边是马勒基斯与黑暗精灵国度的魔法世界,一边是托尼和阿诺·斯塔克兄弟间暗流涌动的科技与野心,两条线索在谈判、交锋和封存戒指的桥段里彼此交汇。卢克·罗斯的画风扎实稳健,大场面调度清晰,黑暗精灵一族的盔甲与斯瓦塔尔夫海姆的冷冽景致颇具质感,封面由迈克·德尔蒙多绘制。对早已熟悉电影版钢铁侠的读者,本期提供了另一种更为宏阔的阅读:超级英雄处理的是异域魔法与家族秘密。需提醒的是,这是单期中段章节,单独阅读未必理解全部线索,建议搭配前后期或《钢铁侠》第五卷合集一同阅读。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 正在追读《钢铁侠》2012年连载、需要补齐中段剧情的读者
  • 对满大人戒环设定与漫威神秘/魔法世界观感兴趣的漫画读者
  • 喜欢基隆·吉伦式科幻与家族暗线叙事的漫威粉丝
  • 想收藏单期美漫、关注德尔蒙多与罗斯画面的美术爱好者

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没接触过该连载、希望一期读懂完整故事的入门读者
  • 偏好独立成篇、节奏自洽的短篇故事的读者
  • 只想看钢铁侠单人打斗、对谈判与铺垫情节缺乏耐心的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读本卷前几期(约第23—25期),了解马勒基斯如何取得光谱戒指,再进入本期对话与交易。
  2. 把托尼与阿诺的互动单独理一条线索,本期阿诺的采访与极端病毒计划是后续冲突的伏笔。
  3. 若使用合集阅读,本期对应《钢铁侠》第五卷「十戒之战」中的一章,可对照章节顺序统一读。
  4. 留意「暗天使」谢冯·哈尔丹与黑暗天使相关设定,她连接了英国系魔法人物与本次事件。

FAQ

这一期是2012年《钢铁侠》连载的第26期吗?
是的。漫威官网将其列为 Iron Man (2012) #26,2014年5月28日发行,编剧基隆·吉伦,内页画师卢克·罗斯,封面迈克·德尔蒙多,共21页,属于「十戒之战」章节。
本期和第25期、第27期是同一故事线吗?
是。第26期是「十戒之战」第4章,上接第25章,下接第27章(佩珀与未婚夫马克的线),单独阅读会中断情节,建议连着读。
钢铁侠2008年连载的第26期和这本是同一本吗?
不是。马特·弗拉克申编剧的《无敌钢铁侠》(2008) #26 于2010年发行,讲「坚韧斯塔克」第二部分,佩珀·波茨、汉默母女与底特律钢铁登场,与本期内容、作者、出版年均不同。
这一期在漫威宇宙里重要吗?
属于连载中的过渡章节,主要推进托尼夺回满大人戒指、与马勒基斯交易以及阿诺秘密推进极端病毒计划等支线,为后续章节的兄弟冲突和戒环收束做铺垫,但不是大事件核心期。
