For nearly two thousand years, Jason Blood has served as a living host for the demon Etrigan. In the miniseries' backup story, Doctor Richard Occult , aided by the Yellow Peri , also descends into Hell, but separately from the others and with his own ulterior motive-to free the soul of his beloved, Rose Psychic , from damnation. Still, a very good and delightfully odd run of comics. In the introduction, Ennis sings the praises of McCrea's "lunatic glory", talking about how this was the first time he wrapped up a decent-sized run with a sympathetic artistic collaborator, which taught him a lot. During the events of the Reign in Hell miniseries, Hell is thrown into a massive conflict as Neron and his generals are confronted with a rebellion led by Blaze and Satanus, the rulers of Purgatory. This unrest in the infernal realms attracts the attention of Earth's magical superheroes, who are concerned about the outcome and the possible repercussions of the war.

But Blood himself has no memory of how he and Etrigan were originally linked—or, indeed, of anything that occurred before the late 20th century. Not quite as satisfying as the first volume; the first two-thirds are dominated by Etrigan's overlong plots against human host Jason Blood, and when that's done it's all-out war between Heaven and Hell, a subject which always seems to founder on arbitrary power levels and a lack of meaningful tension.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

  • The Hell Scene and Theatricality in Man and Superman
    ２３３ The Amphitheatre and Ann’s Theatre: The Hell Scene and Theatricality in Man and Superman Yumiko Isobe Synopsis: Although George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman (1903) is one of his most important dramatic works, it has seldom been staged. This is because, in terms of content and direction, there are technical issues that make it difficult to stage. In particular, Act Three features a dream in Hell, where four dead characters hold a lengthy philosophical symposium, has been considered independent of the main plot of John Tanner and Ann Whitefield. Tanner’s dream emphatically asserts its theatricality by the scenery, the amphitheatre in the Spanish desert where Tanner dozes off. The scene’s geography, which has not received adequate attention, indicates the significance of the dream as a theatre for the protagonist’s destiny with Ann. At the same time, it suggests that the whole plot stands out as a play by Ann, to which Tanner is a “subject.” The comedy thus succeeds in expressing the playwright’s philosophy of the Superman through the play-within-a- play and metatheatre. Introduction Hell in the third act of Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy (1903) by George Bernard Shaw turns into a philosophical symposium, as the subtitle of the play suggests, and this intermediate part is responsible for the difficulties associated with the staging of the play. The scene, called “the Hell scene” or “Don Juan in Hell,” has been cut out of performances of the whole play, and even performed separately; however, the interlude by itself has attracted considerable attention, not only from stage managers and actors, but also from critics, provoking a range of multi-layered examinations.

  • Drosophila Ribosomal Proteins Are Associated with Linker Histone H1 and Suppress Gene Transcription
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 2, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Drosophila ribosomal proteins are associated with linker histone H1 and suppress gene transcription Jian-Quan Ni,1,3 Lu-Ping Liu,1,3 Daniel Hess,1 Jens Rietdorf,1 and Fang-Lin Sun1,2,4 1Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel CH-4058, Switzerland; 2Institute of Epigenetics and Cancer Research, School of Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100080, China The dynamics and function of ribosomal proteins in the cell nucleus remain enigmatic. Here we provide evidence that specific components of Drosophila melanogaster ribosomes copurify with linker histone H1. Using various experimental approaches, we demonstrate that this association of nuclear ribosomal proteins with histone H1 is specific, and that colocalization occurs on condensed chromatin in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed that specific ribosomal proteins are associated with chromatin in a histone H1-dependent manner. Overexpression of either histone H1 or ribosomal protein L22 in Drosophila cells resulted in global suppression of the same set of genes, while depletion of H1 and L22 caused up-regulation of tested genes, suggesting that H1 and ribosomal proteins are essential for transcriptional gene repression. Overall, this study provides evidence for a previously undefined link between ribosomal proteins and chromatin, and suggests a role for this association in transcriptional regulation in higher eukaryotes. [Keywords: Ribosomal protein; L22; histone H1; chromatin; transcription] Supplemental material is available at http://www.genesdev.org.

  • Representation of Identities in Neil Gaiman's the Sandman
    SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW: REPRESENTATION OF IDENTITIES IN NEIL GAIMAN’S THE SANDMAN Andrés Romero Jódar Universidad de Zaragoza ABSTRACT Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is a graphic novel that explores the complexities of reality and identity. The main asset of this work is its presentation of a plurality of narratives that, together, create not only a completely new world vision according to comic-book stand- ards, but also a novel conception of cultural identity. This essay aims to analyze how The Sandman deals with identity construction as fashioned by two different but related no- tions: on the one hand, identity as the outcome of the confrontation between old concep- tions of the world and new roles, duties and values; on the other hand, identity as a change of situation, as the individual wilfully escaping from old masks that imprison the self inside predetermined patterns of behaviour. KEY WORDS: Comic-book, graphic novel, Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, identity. RESUMEN The Sandman de Neil Gaiman es una novela gráfica que explora las complejidades de la 149 realidad y de la identidad. El principal valor de esta obra es la presentación de una plurali- dad de narrativas que, en conjunto, crean tanto una visión del mundo completamente nueva respecto a los cánones del cómic, así como una concepción novel de la identidad cultural. El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar cómo The Sandman trata la construcción de la identidad como resultado de dos conceptos diferentes pero relacionados: por un lado, identidad como el resultado de la confrontación entre viejas concepciones del mundo y nuevos roles, deberes y valores; por otro lado, identidad como un cambio de situación, en el que el individuo escapa voluntariamente de viejas máscaras que aprisionan al sujeto dentro de modelos de comportamiento predeterminados.
