Summary

This is Volume 3 of the five-volume miniseries Veil. The series follows a young woman who wakes in an abandoned subway tunnel with no memory of who she is or where she came from. She can kill anyone who tries to harm her, which draws various factions to find and control her. In Volume 3, Veil is more vulnerable than ever: the only person she can rely on is taken from her by force, leaving her to face a powerful, mysterious adversary. This figure seems to know Veil's origins and has purposes of their own. As the adversary closes in and sets trap after trap, the truth proves not more reassuring than expected but more terrifying. This volume leans toward oppression and confrontation, continuing the series' stained-glass palette of fractured color and building suspense through suggestion and negative space rather than direct display. This is Volume 3 of the series (corresponding to Veil #3). For the full story, read Volumes 1 and 2 first; the series runs five volumes and concludes in Volume 5.

Editor's review

第3册是《面纱》五册迷你连载中的一个转折点。前两册建立起来的悬疑,在这里开始出现真实的对手和真实的威胁。 编剧格雷格·卢卡是艾斯纳奖得主,代表作有《白茫茫》《哥谭重案组》《拉撒路》,他擅长用克制的对白勾勒人物。绘者托尼·费祖拉把厚重色彩与破碎分镜结合起来,教堂式的高饱和配色与宗教感构图,让画面与故事中的“仪式”“召唤”线索相互呼应。在本册中,画面不再靠直白的血腥,而是靠暗示、特写和留白来制造不安,所以观感比“怪物登场”更细密。 需要注意的是,这一册是编号单册,并非整套合集。若你已经在追这个系列,本册不可跳过;若还没有入门,建议从第1册开始。如果你喜欢黑暗奇幻、宗教神秘题材,或者偏爱画面表现力强的图像小说,这一册值得收入。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 已经读完《面纱》第1、2册、想继续追的读者
  • 喜欢黑暗奇幻与宗教神秘元素的图像小说读者
  • 偏爱强画面风格和破碎分镜的欧美漫画爱好者
  • 喜欢格雷格·卢卡《拉撒路》《哥谭重案组》的读者

Not a good fit for

  • 想一本读完整个故事的读者,本册只是五册中的一册
  • 偏好合家欢喜剧、轻松画风的读者
  • 对暴力、惊悚与不安气氛较为敏感的青少年读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读《面纱》第1、2册再看本册,人物关系和对手的来历才讲得通。
  2. 本册信息偏少而画面信息量大,阅读时多留意分镜里的色彩与象征物。
  3. 读完后可接着读第4、5册,本系列在第5册收束,不要在第3册停下判断整部作品。
