Captain America 跟 Captain Bucky究竟有啥差別我一直都霧煞煞的...
我強烈懷疑Greg Land是不刮鬍子的,自己不刮也不要牽拖到我家龍哥這來好不好!以他那種個性怎麼可能讓自己下巴發霉啊?!
Every month in Marvel Comics' ongoing "X-Men Legacy," writer Mike Carey
chronicles the adventures of the power absorbing mutant known as Rogue
and the work she does with the next generation of X-Men. Currently, the
X-Men are embroiled in a crossover adventure where the forces of the
techno-organic organism known as Bastion are threatening to make this
current generation of mutants the last one by executing the possible
mutant messiah known as Hope. This crossover adventure is titled
"Second Coming" and is the third chapter in a trilogy that began with a
2007 storyline titled "Messiah CompleX," and continued in 2009 with
"Messiah War." "Legacy" #235, in stores now, is the fourth chapter of
"Second Coming" and the first time the book has crossed into the epic
storyline which will see Carey pen two more installments before the
saga is complete. CBR News spoke with Carey about his work on "Second
Coming" as well as his plans for "X-Men Legacy" once the crossover
wraps.
"Second Coming" has been in the works for a while, and Carey is excited
that fans are finally getting the chance to read it. "It feels like the
culmination of everything that we've planned since I came on board the
book, which is like four years ago now. We were talking about 'Messiah
CompleX' then," Carey told CBR News. "That was in the immediate
aftermath of 'House of M.' We always thought 'Messiah CompleX' was the
start of a story that would culminate in 'Second Coming.' So this is a
payoff that we've been building towards since forever and it's
fantastic that it's finally out there. And I'm happy that's it's been
getting such a positive response. Everybody seems to be on board for
it."
Normally, "X-Men Legacy" features Rogue and her interactions with
several younger and/or veteran X-Men, but because of the way "Second
Coming" is unfolding, Carey has been given the opportunity to pen
several X-characters that he doesn't normally write on a regular basis.
In "Legacy" #235, for example, he wrote a number of scenes with the New
Mutants. "That was great. In some ways it was a huge blast from the
past, because the "New Mutants" book started when I was a regular
reader and addict of the X-books. I followed it right from the start,
and now here are all those characters back again, all beautifully
voiced by Zeb Wells. It's a wonderful team dynamic. I'm particularly
fond of Cannonball, but I love them all. So that was wild."
By the time "Second Coming" reaches its conclusion, Carey will have
written several more characters that he doesn't normally tackle. "I got
my hands on X-Force, which was very cool. I got some Psylocke moments,
and I always love writing her. I'm also going to write some more stuff
with Cypher later on in the storyline," Carey stated. "Basically, the
cast gets so shaken up in the third act, particularly; everybody is on
stage at the same time. It's insane."
Despite his expanded cast, Carey has continued to focus on his main
protagonist in the "Legacy" chapters of "Second Coming." In fact, the
events of "Second Coming" are of direct importance to Rogue, because
during"Messiah CompleX," Rogue's powers were transformed to something
that was slowly killing her and driving her insane. Hope, who was just
a baby at the time, somehow healed Rogue and restored her sanity. At
the end of "Messiah CompleX," the infant was taken to the future to be
raised by Cable. Much time passed for her there, as she's now a
teenager, but for Rogue and the rest of the X-Men, it seems like it's
only been a few months since Hope was taken to the future.
"I think Rogue is very much aware of what Hope did for her," Carey
explained. "Even though Hope was just a baby at the time and didn't
particularly will it or mean it. Nonetheless, it was Hope's
intervention that saved Rogue's life and sanity and there's no way that
Rogue is going to forget that. So, obviously, there is a deep
connection between them, which isn't quite psychic – Emma can't sense
or define it – but it's real."
Rogue's sense of obligation means that she will do all she can to
protect Hope from Bastion and his anti-mutant forces, and her newfound
control of her mutant power puts her in the perfect position to do
that. In "Legacy" #235, she turned herself into a veritable one mutant
army by absorbing the powers of several of her teammates. "It may seem
like there's no downside to Rogue's powers, but there is one - we just
haven't seen it yet," Carey revealed. "But yeah, Rogue is formidable.
She's able to choose how much power she can take. She's able to take it
without incapacitating the people she's borrowing from, so she's a huge
asset to the X-Men right now."
Carey's next chapter of "Second Coming" arrives in stores on May 19
with "Legacy" #236, a story that will take place primarily on the
X-Men's home base of Utopia and is chapter eight of "Second Coming."
After that, the writer returns with "Legacy" #237, which is chapter 12
of "Second Coming." It's a story that will take place both in the
present and the future. "Those are kind of the main beats of those two
issues, but there's a lot of cutting back and forth across all of the
issues because we're dealing with a huge cast spread out across time
and many different locations," Carey remarked. "The action is also
heating up. That sounds like a weird thing to say after the breakneck
pace of the first act, but it's true; so with so much going on in all
these different places, it's absolutely relentless."
Finally, on July 8, Carey and his fellow X-writers and artists bring
the "Second Coming" storyline to a close with "X-Men: Second Coming"
#2, a special bookend issue. "My story in the issue is a chapter in the
larger whole – it's like one thread in a tapestry. The way we planned
things, this is the coda to 'Second Coming.' The climax will come in
chapter 13, and then after that in the second book, we have not an
epilogue, but a playing out of emotional and relationship beats: the
fallout from these events for all the characters involved. There's some
very important stuff and one killer reveal," Carey said. "My chapter is
about Rogue and Hope. It's about Cable. It's about Cyclops and to some
extent it's about the younger mutants. The story has implications for
what's coming next in 'Legacy,' but it's very much paying off of some
of the key beats from 'Second Coming.' Most of the story looks
backwards and then at the end we look forward to some cool stuff."
Later in July, in "X-Men Legacy" #238, Carey kicks off a new four part
storyline titled "Collision," which takes place in India. "It's a story
that has Rogue, Magneto and several of the younger mutants going back
with India, to Mumbai, where [Indra has] been called home by his
family, because he has some important family business that needs to be
taken care of," Carey revealed. "While they're there they have to
investigate some very weird stuff that's going on in the city."
The dynamic between Rogue and Magneto will be one of the important
elements Carey explores in "Collision." "I think both of them are
incredibly strong personalities, and you have them in a situation where
there is an emotional imbalance. Magneto has what appears to be a
romantic interest in Rogue, but it's still unclear. Perhaps there is
more to it than that," Carey remarked. "And on Rogue's side, there's an
intense feeling of caution and wariness because she's been here before.
She was attracted to Magneto at one time, but that was a long time ago
and she was a different person. But he's still a powerful and
charismatic individual, and to have that kind of will and persona
focused on you can be a little bit disconcerting."
The young mutant Indra's powers, faith and family situation will also
be explored in "Collision." "He's a Jainite, and yet he's named himself
after the god of war. Plus, he's got this power that we now realize
allows him to generate not just armor, but weapons as well. He can
generate weapons out of the air, but he can't use them because the
Jainite faith is the most pacifistic faith in the world. Followers
aren't even allowed to kill insects. Stepping on a bug is considered to
be a sin. So that's definitely a strand in this story," Carey said. "
This is also a story about family relationships. We get to meet Indra's
mother and father, and we get to see his brother, although we don't see
very much of him because he's in a coma. One of the themes in this
story is about family obligations and how far you can go in terms of
subordinating your own desires and instincts for those around you. It's
a story about both rebellion and conformity."
The supporting cast of "Collision" will be rounded out by familiar
faces, both villainous and heroic. "It brings together the surviving
members of Alpha Squadron. So Indra goes to India with Loa and Anole,
which is kind of cool," Carey remarked. "Also, it reintroduces some
X-villains from recent times that I'm very, very fond of. So when the
big bad is finally revealed, there will be some cool moments that I'm
looking forward to writing."
Rogue will be spending most of her summer and some of her fall in India
before Carey kicks off a new "X-Men Legacy" storyline in November.
"Immediately after 'Collision,' we have a story which centers on
Hellion and plays out some of the consequences of the things that
happen to him in 'Second Coming.' He won't be the only focus, though,"
Carey revealed. "There will be some other characters as well. I'm
hoping to bring Omega Sentinel back in, who we haven't seen since
'Legacy' #226. I think will be cool to revisit her."
Where Carey takes "X-Men Legacy" after the Hellion story is still being
worked out, but one thing is certain: the writer is having the time of
his life with the title and hopes to have a good long run on the
series. "At the moment this is a dream ticket because I love Rogue as a
character and I love writing team dynamics," Carey said. "And the way
I'm writing Legacy right now, it kind of gives me carte blanche to
invent a new team with each arc."
我每次看到哪個隊員失去某個親人或朋友就對龍哥發飆就覺得很好笑,待在這種賣命團體裡的又不是只有你家死過人是在哭爸什麼勁?
話說龍哥的包容心真強,換做是我早一棍打在那傢伙腦袋上讓他去周公那冷靜。

Fighting for the future of mutantkind, the X-Men are locked in battle
with Bastion, staving off his forces even by sacrificing themselves.
When Magik is gravely injured in battle, she instinctively flees to the
sanctuary of Limbo…only to fall into the clutches of a longtime
adversary hoping to wrest the powerful Soulsword—and control of
Limbo—from her grasp. Now, a small team of X-Men venture in after her,
but they are met only by unexpected peril: a horde of demons out for
blood, Magik nowhere in sight, and a concealed evil walking amongst
them.
