Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 Free FREE ULTIMATES: OMNIVERSAL VOL. 2: CIVIL WAR II: VOL. 2 PDF Al Ewing,Christian Ward,Kenneth Rocafort | 136 pages | 31 Jan 2017 | Marvel Comics | 9780785196716 | English | New York, United States Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II by Al Ewing () | Boomerang Books The Ultimates is a fictional group of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Although the team takes its name from the unrelated team Ultimateswhich was the Ultimate Marvel version of the Avengersit is set in the standard Marvel Universe. The title has been used for two volumes, both written by Al Ewing. Both volumes have the same team and their goal is to protect Earth and the larger universe from cosmic threats. In FebruaryMarvel announced that it would be fusing its mainstream universe and Ultimate universe into one following its crossover event, Secret Wars. On utilizing the name, Ewing told Comics Alliance. And The Ultimates is a fine name for a book—it says it all, really. The team also features an uncommon practice in modern media of having no Caucasian men, the team being diverse in both race and gender. On the team's diversity, Ewing said. I think it's important in the way that a roof is important. If you're moving into a building and the landlord says 'oh, and we have—get this—a roof! And four walls! We're not just a hole someone dug in the street! Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 just a basic thing that ought to be standard. Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 just fiction reflecting reality—there are all kinds of people in the world, and we should reflect that properly and try not to screw up. To be honest, I think there's a long way to go in a lot of ways, both on the page and off. In Marvel NOW! Americaand Captain Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 come together to deal with cosmic threats to Earth and the larger universe. The Ultimates begin their mission by dealing with Galactus. This time, Galactus emerges from it as a lifebringer instead of a Devourer of Worlds. His first act is to restore Archeopia, the first victim of his hunger. While the Ultimates were in Exo-Space upon arriving there in their ship the Abeona, they encountered Blue Marvel's old enemy Anti-Man whose body had reassembled there. Instead, Blue Marvel brought him back to the Abeona so that he and the Ultimates can fix him. During the Civil War II storyline, Ulysses later received a vision that tipped off Blue Marvel about Infinaut's ninth manifestation attempt enabling him, Giant-Manand the Ultimates to work on a Pym Particle accelerator within a week. When the day in question happened, Blue Marvel and the Ultimates used the Pym Particle accelerator to anchor Infinaut and shrink him down to human size. When he finally spoke to Blue Marvel and the Ultimates, Infinaut was pleased to finally meet them. When the Planetary Defense Shield is activated as part of Hydra 's plans to take over the United States, the Ultimates and those with them are trapped outside the Planetary Defense Shield as they continue their fight against the Chitauri. When Maker collaborated with High Evolutionary to destroy the Superflow that kept the different universes separate in order to merge them into one reality, the Earth Ultimates members Captain AmericaIron ManGiant-ManWaspand Hulk were revived where they were to help Eternity fight the First Firmament. As both versions of Ultimates concluded that there is no reason to fight each other, Maker killed the Earth Captain America for disobeying his orders. Upon Maker being defeated, both Ultimates helped Eternity to break free from the First Firmament, giving Galactus and his Eternity Watch the chance to defeat the Aspirants. Eternity subsequently summoned the embodiment's of the past Multiverses to his aid. These "Ultimate Ultimates" chained the First Firmament and took it away to another plane of existence Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 hopes to heal it. With Eternity rescued, Galactus and the Ultimates bid farewell, and parted to go on their separate ways. Ultimates has been collected in the several trade paperbacks.

It's intelligently written, has great art for the most part and constantly has me wanting to see what's next. I also like the team's attempts to use non-violent methods as much as possible. While I enjoy a good slugfest as much as the next person, I'd like to see more recognition that violence isn't always the answer, even for superheroes! The reason I've docked a star is that this volume was, unfortunately but inevitably, slightly derailed by Civil War II. It was one of the b I love this Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2.

It can't be easy to follow a writer like Jonathan Hickman, who makes these galactic Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 seem almost effortless, but Al Ewing seems to be giving it a go. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have an artist dedicated to the book. Kenneth Rocafort's work is pretty great, but I'd hazard a guess that he's a really slow artist, because around issue 9, we've got a mixture of Rocafort and Djibril Morissette, who is one of the worst artists I've ever seen in a comic from a major company--worse than It can't be easy to follow a writer like Jonathan Hickman, who makes these galactic storylines seem almost effortless, but Al Ewing seems to be giving it a go.

  • Doctor Strange Comics As Post-Fantasy
    Evolving a Genre: Doctor Strange Comics as Post-Fantasy Jessie L. Rogers Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Karen Swenson, Chair Nancy A. Metz Katrina M. Powell April 15, 2019 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Fantasy, Comics Studies, Postmodernism, Post-Fantasy Copyright 2019, Jessie L. Rogers Evolving a Genre: Doctor Strange Comics as Post-Fantasy Jessie L. Rogers (ABSTRACT) This thesis demonstrates that Doctor Strange comics incorporate established tropes of the fantastic canon while also incorporating postmodern techniques that modernize the genre. Strange’s debut series, Strange Tales, begins this development of stylistic changes, but it still relies heavily on standard uses of the fantastic. The 2015 series, Doctor Strange, builds on the evolution of the fantastic apparent in its predecessor while evidencing an even stronger presence of the postmodern. Such use of postmodern strategies disrupts the suspension of disbelief on which popular fantasy often relies. To show this disruption and its effects, this thesis examines Strange Tales and Doctor Strange (2015) as they relate to the fantastic cornerstones of Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and Rowling’s Harry Potter series. It begins by defining the genre of fantasy and the tenets of postmodernism, then it combines these definitions to explain the new genre of postmodern fantasy, or post-fantasy, which Doctor Strange comics develop. To show how these comics evolve the fantasy genre through applications of postmodernism, this thesis examines their use of otherworldliness and supernaturalism, as well as their characterization and narrative strategies, examining how these facets subvert our expectations of fantasy texts.

    COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies Texas A&M University-Commerce in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2017 COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

  • Peer Review: Delia Gonzalez Interviews Eli Sudbrack
    January 5, 2018 - As told to Delia Gonzalez, 905 words. Tags: Art, Process, Inspiration. Peer Review: Delia Gonzalez interviews Eli Sudbrack Read: Eli Sudbrack interviews Delia Gonzalez What do you do when you’re creatively stuck? I work more. I’m totally obsessive. I’m good at multitasking and I’m always working on multiple things at same time, so if I’m stuck with one thing, I just move on to another one. I wish I would respond this question by saying that I go out biking or for a walk or to the beach, but in reality that never happens. I’m very good at focusing on my work when I’m at the studio. I hardly ever leave even for food. Once I’m at the studio, I’m there working for like 8 hours straight—no breaks. How do you avoid burnout? I don’t. I always work to the max. But I do have rules. I arrive early at my studio everyday around 8am and leave max at around 6pm. I don’t work on the weekends. My cell is always on silent even when I’m at the studio. I don’t answer or check my phone after I get back home from the studio. And if I go away for holidays I never work. I don’t take my computer and avoid my phone as much as possible. So if I’m away I’m really away, no work. How do you nourish your creative side when you aren’t working? Beach, biking, spending time with my beau without talking about art, reading Marvel comics (old and new), walking, spending time under the sun.
