THE STORY SO FAR: When the Crew of the Lost Light First Met Skids, They Learned That the Theoretician-Turned-Spy Had Two Significant Gaps in His Memory

Written by: JAMES ROBERTS Art by: HAYATO SAKAMOTO Coordination by: PHASE6 Colors by: JOANA LAFUENTE Letters by: TOM B. LONG & CHRIS MOWRY Editor: JOHN BARBER THE STORY SO FAR: When the crew of the Lost Light first met Skids, they learned that the theoretician-turned-spy had two significant gaps in his memory. Skids eventually discovers that the first gap relates to a secret mission to Luna 1, but the second gap remains a mystery. All he knows, thanks to Chromedome, is that he buried the memories for a reason.

‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

Kill Shakespeare and Audience Experience in Adaptation Studies
THE COMIC(S) SHAKESPEARE: KILL SHAKESPEARE AND AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE IN ADAPTATION STUDIES Valentino L. Zullo 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 2013 Committee: Stephannie Gearhart, Advisor Kimberly Coates © 2013 Valentino L. Zullo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Stephannie Gearhart, advisor In this thesis, I expand upon Linda Hutcheon’s use of the terms “knowing” and “unknowing” audiences that she briefly outlines in her book A Theory of Adaptation. Hutcheon suggests that when experiencing an adaptation, one may be a “knowing” audience member, someone that knows the adapted work, or an “unknowing” audience member, someone who is not familiar with an adapted work. Hutcheon proposes the terms knowing and unknowing audiences as a way to reorient adaptation studies to consider the experience and the knowledge of the audience members. This model runs contrary to orthodox adaptation theory or fidelity criticism, wherein the value of an adaptation is determined by its closeness to an original. Theoretical discussions that rely upon studying the closeness of an adaptation to an original text do not provide insight into the text but simply re-establish a hierarchy for an “original.” Thus, Hutcheon’s use of the terms “knowing” and “unknowing” audiences is valuable because these terms provide new language to reinvigorate a field that, according to Thomas Leitch, has been “haunted by concepts and premises it has repudiated in principle but continued to rely on in practice” (63). Thus Hutcheon’s new language presents a step toward redefining the theory and producing scholarship that explores audience literacy or literacies.

Transformer Basics Information Guide
Property of Motion Laboratories, Inc. Transformer Basics Information Guide © 2014 Motion Laboratories, Inc. Created By: Jim Herrick / Michael Shaw Approved By: Peter Herrmann Page: 1 Transformer Definition An electric device consisting essentially of two or more windings, wound on a common core, which by electromagnetic induction transfers electric energy from one set of windings (primary) to another set of windings (secondary). In addition to the “basic” transformer design, there are other specialty configurations, such as, Buck/Boost, which are described in Types & Uses. While the voltage and current usually change (from primary to secondary), the frequency of the energy remains unchanged. Transformers only work on alternating current (not direct current). The voltage change is determined by the ratio of turns of wire around the core, between the primary and secondary windings. © 2014 Motion Laboratories, Inc.

For some, it is any aspect of culture that is aimed at and appreciated by a large segment of a society. Some conceive of it as inherently unsophisticated, standing in opposition to higher forms of culture. Others consider it to be necessarily commercialized, and primarily existent to make money. Some have even referred to it as culture which reflects the genuine concerns and ideas of the general public. It is often associated with members of the lower classes, and its manifestations tend to be mass- produced. This collection specializes in items such as comic books, graphic novels, and science fiction, while also housing tabloid newspapers, cult magazines, realia, and more. Comic Books, 1964-current Pinpointing the precise origin of the comic book would prove a difficult task. Given the ambiguous definition of the medium (typically defined as a form of storytelling characterized by sequential images, often accompanied with text), precedents can be found throughout history. Examples of such include newspaper comic strips. However, the modern comic book is said to have begun in the United States in the early 1930s. From here, and especially following the success of Superman, first introduced in 1938, the medium has exploded in popularity and notable works have been published in Japan and Europe.

Physical Security of the US Power Grid: High-Voltage
Physical Security of the U.S. Power Grid: High-Voltage Transformer Substations Paul W. Parfomak Specialist in Energy and Infrastructure Policy June 17, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43604 Physical Security of the U.S. Power Grid: High-Voltage Transformer Substations Summary In the United States, the electric power grid consists of over 200,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines interspersed with hundreds of large electric power transformers. High voltage (HV) transformer units make up less than 3% of transformers in U.S. power substations, but they carry 60%-70% of the nation’s electricity. Because they serve as vital nodes and carry bulk volumes of electricity, HV transformers are critical elements of the nation’s electric power grid. HV transformers are also the most vulnerable to intentional damage from malicious acts. Recent security exercises, together with a 2013 physical attack on transformers in Metcalf, CA, have focused congressional interest on the physical security of HV transformers. They have also prompted new grid security initiatives by utilities and federal regulators. Legislative proposals, notably the Grid Reliability and Infrastructure Defense Act (H.R. 4298 and S. 2158), would expand these efforts by strengthening federal authority to secure the U.S. grid. For more than 10 years, the electric utility industry and government agencies have engaged in a number of initiatives to secure HV transformers from physical attack and to improve recovery in the event of a successful attack. These initiatives include coordination and information sharing, spare equipment programs, security standards, grid security exercises, and other measures.

Transformers: Basics, Maintenance, and Diagnostics
Transformers: Basics, Maintenance, and Diagnostics U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation April 2005 Transformers: Basics, Maintenance, and Diagnostics U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Technical Service Center Infrastructure Services Division Hydroelectric Research and Technical Services Group Denver, Colorado April 2005 PREFACE Transformers have been used at powerplants since the inception of alternating-current generation, a century ago. While operating principles of transformers remain the same, the challenges of maintaining and testing transformers have evolved along with transformer design and construction. Modern transformers are designed to closer tolerances than transformers in the past. Thus, effective, regular maintenance and testing is even more essential to continued operation when traditional “overdesign” cannot be relied on to overcome abnormal conditions. The utility engineer must be familiar with all aspects of maintenance and testing and make use of state-of-the-art tools and techniques for evaluating transformer condition. While on-line diagnostic systems and computerized testing methods are very helpful, they are not a substitute for sound engineering judgment and expertise. This volume provides timely, practical advice to those seeking to better understand how transformers work, how they are best maintained, and how to test and evaluate their condition. It has been developed with the assistance of Bureau of Reclamation engineers responsible for operating and maintaining transformers at important powerplants in the Western States. Support and funding was provided through the Reclamation Power Resources Office in Denver and via the Manuals and Standards development program. The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of all who contributed.

Grimlock and the Scavengers—joined by accidental new recruit Nickel—are employed by a Decepticon known as the Curator to recover an all- knowing artifact: The Magnificence. They find said artifact on the planet Confluence, in the claws of Scorponok and his lieutenant Flame—both ex-prisoners of Garrus-9, a notorious Autobot penal institution that once also accommodated Grimlock. After battling a forest of transforming trees, the Scavengers watch as Scorponok shuts Grimlock down with a simple gesture. Transferred to a cell aboard Scorponok's worldsweeper, Krok and Co. learn that the Magnificence was stored inside Grimlock's chest when the Dinobot was inside Garrus-9. After being "rescued" from G-9 by Scorponok, Grimlock was subjected to a barrage of physical and psychological torture until he relinquished the Magnificence. The experience left him a different person. Scorponok wakes Grimlock up just as Spinister is concluding an examination of his chest. The Dinobot instinctively lashes out... and Scorponok leaves the Scavengers to their fate. Some time later, a pair of guards discover Grimlock surrounded by the Scavengers' grisly remains.
