Summary
Uncanny Avengers Vol. 2 is a Marvel series written by Rick Remender and drawn and colored by Daniel Acuña, part of the "All-New, All-Different Marvel" era, with its central arc titled "Counter-Evolutionary." The plot revolves around Counter-Earth, where the evolutionary fanatic the High Evolutionary, Herbert Wyndham, has bred animal-derived "New Men" and continually culls what he deems imperfect creations, replacing them with "more perfect" ones. The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver come here to investigate the mystery of their parentage—after the Axis event they learned that Magneto is not their father, and they seek the truth from the High Evolutionary in person. Members of the new "Unity Squad" recruited by Rogue are also scattered across Counter-Earth's cities: Sabretooth, unwilling to hurt anyone after his personality inversion in Axis, is nonetheless gravely wounded by the High Evolutionary, while Doctor Voodoo is drawn to the Council of the Unsettled Dead and forced to listen to the souls lost in past extinctions. The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are rescued by the rebel Low Evolutionary faction, and the High Evolutionary plans to send Luminous to kill its "brothers and sisters." This volume is issue 2 of Uncanny Avengers Vol. 2, the second part of "Counter-Evolutionary," continuing from issue 1.
Editor's review
这一册属于漫威 2015 年重启后《非凡复仇者》第二卷的开篇段落,由丹尼尔·阿库尼亚一人完成线稿、上色与封面,画面风格偏冷峻浓烈,与反地球这座「实验场」的异质氛围非常契合。雷曼德擅长把超级英雄群戏写成人物关系剧:剑齿虎在《轴心》之后被「反转」的人格、罗刹女作为新任队长的调度、绯红女巫与快银对身世的执念,都在这一期里并行推进。对于跟进过《复仇者大战X战警》《轴心》的读者来说,这一册是理解旺达与皮特罗身份争议怎么被重新书写的重要一环;对只读者而言,它也提供了足够清楚的悬念钩子——谁在猎杀新人的城市、谁是「低级进化者」、高级进化者又为何盯上这对双胞胎。适合按卷顺序阅读,单看这一期会更像拼图的一块。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追看漫威 2015 年「复仇者 NOW!」故事线的读者
- 喜欢绯红女巫、快银、罗刹女、剑齿虎等角色的粉丝
- 对漫威宇宙中「反地球」「高级进化者」设定感兴趣的读者
- 习惯按刊号顺序补课、愿意跟着大事件线索阅读的人
Not a good fit for
- 从未接触漫威漫画、希望从独立完整故事入门的读者
- 偏好单期自成一体、无需前情也能读懂的作品的读者
Reading tips
- 先读第二卷第1期,本册的故事正是从第1期结尾接着展开
- 阅读前补一下《轴心》事件,否则很难理解剑齿虎人格反转的设定
- 留意亡魂议会与「新人」的线索,它们会在后续几期回收
- 把这一册当作长线故事的一部分,不要期待单期给出答案
