Summary

This is issue #18 of Uncanny Avengers (Vol. 3, launched in 2015), written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Pepe Larraz, with a cover by Steve McNiven. It is part of the later "Red Skull" storyline of the series. In this issue, the Avengers Unity Squad is on the verge of collapse after a string of brutal battles with Ultron and the Hand. The team members hope for a brief respite, but instead the Red Skull springs a trap: he turns Avengers Mansion into a veritable "house of horrors," trapping the heroes in their own home and forcing them to confront their most dreaded fears in familiar surroundings. Meanwhile, Rogue gives Deadpool an order—a task that, for the notoriously irreverent Deadpool, may be the hardest thing he has ever had to do. This issue continues the series' premise of a mixed squad of humans, mutants, Inhumans, and a mercenary; beyond the action, it deals with themes of team trust, responsibility, and personal choice, and serves as an important transition as the volume moves from its middle stretch toward the "Secret Empire" event. For readers comparing with the Chinese edition's reading order, this issue roughly corresponds to Chapter 18 of Uncanny Avengers v3.

Editor's review

《非凡复仇者》第三卷最有趣的地方,就是把一支成分极其复杂的队伍硬凑到一起:美国队长的旧部、变种人、异人,还有一个嘴上从不消停的死侍。第 18 期正处在这支队伍“打完大仗、又要被自家人算计”的节点上,节奏紧凑,几乎是从第一页就进入对峙状态。红骷髅把复仇者 mansion 改造成恐怖屋的处理,既是致敬经典恐怖片式的空间调度,也把“家”这个意象反转成牢笼,视觉上很有记忆点。罗刹女对死侍下达的“最难命令”则是本册的情感核心——它把两人之间微妙的信任关系推到台前,也让人看到死侍在搞笑之外的另一面。剧情上它与前后期紧密相连,建议读者不要单看这一期,而是顺着该卷阅读,才能体会到队伍一步步走向分裂的张力。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 追《非凡复仇者》第三卷连载、按顺序补漫的漫威读者
  • 喜欢死侍与罗刹女互动、想看角色文戏的读者
  • 对复仇者联合小队、变种人与人类共处题材感兴趣的人

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没接触过漫威、想从零入门超级英雄漫画的新读者
  • 偏好单期自成一体的独立故事、不愿跟进连载的读者
  • 对恐怖氛围或家庭空间惊悚桥段较敏感的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读完该卷前几期(约第 13—17 期)再进入本期,否则难以理解队伍为何濒临崩溃。
  2. 留意罗刹女与死侍的对话细节,本册的情感重点往往藏在这类短场景里。
  3. 把本期与后续“秘密帝国”相关故事连读,可以看清这条故事线的完整走向。

FAQ

《非凡复仇者》第18期是独立故事吗?
不是。本期属于 2015 年第三卷的连续故事线,紧接队伍与奥创、手合会交战之后,并与后续“秘密帝国”相关剧情相连,建议按卷内顺序阅读。
这一期的编剧和画师是谁?
据漫威官方刊物信息,本期编剧为格里·达根(Gerry Duggan),内页绘制为佩佩·拉拉斯(Pepe Larraz),封面由史蒂夫·麦克尼文(Steve McNiven)绘制。
没有读过前两卷能看懂吗?
可以勉强读懂单期情节,但人物关系与队伍为何濒临瓦解会缺少背景。建议至少从第三卷第 1 期开始,或先了解该卷成员构成再看本期。
这一期有中文实体版吗?
目前未能核实到该单期对应的中文实体出版信息,中文读者多通过网络汉化或合集方式阅读,具体版本请以正规出版方公告为准。
