  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough 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 August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

Working families will no longer have to choose between caring for their loved ones and risking their economic security. Starting January 1, 2018, the New York State Paid Family Leave Program will provide New Yorkers job-protected, paid leave to bond with a new child, care for a loved one with a serious health condition or to help relieve family pressures when someone is called to active military service. Establishing Paid Family Leave marks a pivotal next step in the pursuit of equality and dignity in both the workplace and home. WHAT IS PFL? . New York Paid Family Leave goes into effect January 1, 2018 and is an addition to New York’s Disability Benefits Law (“DBL”).

  • The Company Why Now?
    There once was an actress, a writer and a children’s television exec Who didn’t think the promise of online entertainment was quite there yet Could they entertain, spark the imagination, bring back the classics of literature and be cool? They put their heads together, researched the market and this is what they decided to do! They created a character named Mrs. P. They bought a domain name so everyone could see They built up a content library that is always free They thought deeply of who their audience would be And how to create a compelling, educational, fun experience with Mrs. P Companies will have a chance to sponsor the show and feel good about helping literacy grow And the creators will donate, just so you know, to literacy organizations a percent of what they sow The Company MrsP.com was created with the goal of giving kids the wonderful experience of having a trusted, skilled storyteller read them classics of literature. Rather than simply presenting an audiobook, Mrs. P recreates the look and feel of “story time”, a magical ritual many kids might not otherwise get to enjoy. Why now? Mrs. P is concerned because fewer and fewer kids are reading these days. Also, according to recent reports Mrs. P has seen, it is becoming harder and harder for many parents to find the time to read to their children. Those same reports suggest that reading to children is vital to their intellectual and emotional development. That’s why Mrs. P thought it was a good time to devote less of her energy to attending fancy balls, restoring her 1963 Ferrari and digging for dinosaur bones in Patagonia – and more energy to reading the stories she loves to kids.

Candice Patton, the ingenue starlet and now leading lady of one of the Fall Season's most highly anticipated new primetime series has found herself at the center of a maelstrom starring in the CW's "The Flash." "The Flash" is based on the popular long-running DC Comics series about a CSI investigator named Barry Allen (played by former "Glee" star Grant Gustin) who moves at superhuman speeds after being struck by lightning. When EDGE caught up with Patton, she was away from the Vancouver set that serves as the backdrop for Central City - the home of our hero. Patton was in Los Angeles, still enjoying her last bits of anonymity, at least while it lasts. The whirlwind surrounding her casting in the action series, a proper spin-off of the widely popular "Arrow", another DC Comics inspired hero, reached a fever pitch when Patton found herself facing a crowd of more than 120,000 super-fans at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.
