Summary

Iron Man (2012) is the fifth volume of Marvel's Iron Man, relaunched under the Marvel NOW! initiative, written by Kieron Gillen with Greg Land on pencils, following The Invincible Iron Man. This is issue #7 of the series, part 2 of the three-part arc "The Godkiller" (issues #6–8). Picking up from the previous issue: Tony Stark, vacationing in space, has been arrested by an alien race connected to the Shi'ar Empire, who accuse the Earthman of killing their god—a "god" that is in fact the Phoenix Force. Held light-years from home and facing execution, Tony is forcibly stripped of his armor in this issue and must fight bizarre alien beasts hand-to-hand in an arena to survive. Meanwhile, an ancient alien machine called Recorder 451 arrives, claiming it can help him, offering background information and an escape plan, and becomes the issue's focal point. Greg Land's art and the color team make the alien tribunal site, the "Voldi's Tears," suitably spectacular, and a final twist revives an old character while raising the stakes for the next issue's conclusion. This is a single issue (about 23 pages), not a collected edition.

Editor's review

如果你在吉伦版《钢铁侠》开篇的「Believe」故事线里觉得节奏温吞,那么第7期所在的「The Godkiller」会是一剂提神药。第7期是三部曲的中段,虽然不是全篇最激烈的一期,但看点很清楚:托尼·斯塔克全程不穿装甲,被丢进外星种族的竞技场,靠一张嘴和一身胆量保命;吉伦把托尼那种电影化的机锋与魅力写得很地道,翻页时几乎能听见唐尼的腔调。本期还正式引入「记录仪451」这台古老机器,为整个系列后续的「托尼·斯塔克秘史」埋下伏笔。画面方面,兰德的线稿依旧油亮精致,外星审判场「沃尔迪之泪」的场景调度颇有气势,色彩也相当抢眼。适合追漫威NOW!线、想补全《钢铁侠》第五卷前段剧情的读者按故事线整段收集,而不是单期跳读。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 正在系统收集漫威2012年《钢铁侠》第五卷的读者
  • 喜欢基隆·吉伦编剧风格、追过《非凡X战警》的漫威迷
  • 对「复仇者大战X战警」后续余波、凤凰之力题材感兴趣的读者
  • 接受单期薄本、按故事线连续阅读的美漫爱好者

Not a good fit for

  • 希望一次读完完整故事、不愿买单期散本的新读者
  • 偏爱深度人物刻画胜过动作场面的文学型读者
  • 对照片参考式画风不敏感的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读第6期再读本期,否则会直接从故事中段切入,情节衔接不上。
  2. 读完本期请接第8期,收尾才交代审判结果与凤凰之力余波的真正后果。
  3. 可把它放进合集《Iron Man: The Secret Origin of Tony Stark Book 1》(#6–11)中连着读,故事脉络更完整。
  4. 浏览时留意记录仪451的对话,它为本卷后半部分的核心秘密埋了线索。

FAQ

这本《钢铁侠》第7期是合集还是单期?
是单期漫画。本册为漫威2012年《钢铁侠》第五卷第7期单行本,正文约23页,定价3.99美元,2013年3月6日出版,并非多期合集。
第7期讲的是哪个故事线?
属于三部分短篇「The Godkiller」的中段,讲述托尼被与希阿有关的外星种族指控杀害其“神”(即凤凰之力)后受审、被迫在竞技场搏斗的经历。
没读过第6期能直接看吗?
不建议。第7期紧接第6期的逮捕与指控情节,并直通第8期的判决,单独阅读会缺少起因与结果。
编剧和画师分别是谁?
编剧为基隆·吉伦,线稿为格雷格·兰德,勾线为杰伊·莱斯滕,上色由Guru eFX完成,编辑为马克·潘尼西亚。
