Iron Man Vol. 5, Book 4
Tags
Summary
This volume is the fourth book in the Marvel "Iron Man Vol. 5" series (2012–2014, Marvel NOW! era), corresponding to Iron Man (2012) issue #4. Tony Stark is tracking Extremis that has leaked onto the black market, and the trail leads him to the ancient catacombs of Paris, where "things humanity was never meant to know" await him—and Stark, who never stops digging, insists on getting to the bottom of everything. This issue also marks the debut of a new heavy-duty Iron Man armor, promoted as "the least low-profile Iron Man armor ever." Writer Kieron Gillen continues the nearly standalone structure of this issue: while a single-issue mission advances the "Extremis pursuit" main plot, it also portrays Tony as an engineer and a bearer of responsibility. Art is by Greg Land, and this issue's group of female characters and scene design have sparked considerable discussion among readers.
Editor's review
吉伦执笔的这版《钢铁侠》常被读者称为“把托尼写成科学家而不只是英雄”的一卷。第4册短小精悍,一期之内完成“调查—交锋—收束”的闭环,同时把绝境病毒这条主线往前推了一步,适合当作体验 Marvel NOW! 时期钢铁侠风格的样章。格雷格·兰德的画风在这一期格外有话题性:重装战甲、巴黎地下墓穴的阴森场景都画得足够有冲击力,角色塑造与构图方式也引发过不少讨论,对漫画工业与画风研究有兴趣的读者可以当案例来看。
