  • Geek Syndicate Hi All, Barry and Dave Here.!
    Geek Syndicate Hi all, Barry and Dave Here.! Welcome to the Geek Syndicate app. We hope to add more exclusive extras and stuff as we get use to the technology but in the meantime I hope you will enjoy this example (taken from our website) of some of the extras we want to have. I am Sherlock! Not being entirely embedded in the genre, the BBC’s recent adaptation of Sherlock Holmes was, I regret to say, my first experience of the London deducer (I assume I don’t count Basil The Great Mouse Detective?). I obviously had my preconceived ideas; deer-stalker hat, pipe, drugs, smoggy Victorian London blah, blah, blah. The slightly archaic boy’s-own feel I get from just holding one of Conan Doyle’s books has never attracted me to actually open it, let alone choose to spend my time watching one of the myriad of adaptations available. But, having also recently ‘found’ Doctor Who, I found myself eagerly awaiting each of the ‘Moffatiss’ episodes with bated breath. I am aware this post is a little late in the game, but it only really hit me today just what a profound effect the show has had on me. I was simply walking down the street when a very muscular chap crossed to walk in front of me. Instantly my womanly judgement mode kicked in as I could see he had gone to the effort of cutting one trouser leg higher that the other. I have often heard tell the tales of such fashion stylings but had never actually seen it for myself, and here was quite a scary looking gentleman sporting a custom designed Adidas version.

    Andrew May Pseudoscience and Science Fiction Science and Fiction Editorial Board Mark Alpert Philip Ball Gregory Benford Michael Brotherton Victor Callaghan Amnon H Eden Nick Kanas Geoffrey Landis Rudi Rucker Dirk Schulze-Makuch Ru€diger Vaas Ulrich Walter Stephen Webb Science and Fiction – A Springer Series This collection of entertaining and thought-provoking books will appeal equally to science buffs, scientists and science-fiction fans. It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reaction vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation—describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promoting critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction—throughout the history of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.

  • Growing up with Vertigo: British Writers, Dc, and the Maturation of American Comic Books
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarWorks @ UVM GROWING UP WITH VERTIGO: BRITISH WRITERS, DC, AND THE MATURATION OF AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS A Thesis Presented by Derek A. Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

    JUDGE ANDERSON: SHAMBALLA PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Alan Grant,Arthur Ranson | 196 pages | 31 Jul 2008 | Rebellion | 9781905437672 | English | Oxford, United Kingdom Judge Anderson: Shamballa PDF Book I sort of knew of the character although really my reading was pretty much limited to Dredd himself. Smallville, tome 4 : Cruelle.. Related Articles. I'm also amused that "Satan" has a brief sequence involving one Lobsang Gump. Anderson is still reeling from the suicide of her closest friend when she gets to go to Tibet via Russia to find the source of the outbreak of psychic crimes. We have the titular Shamballa - which takes on Eastern mysticism and the nature of sacrifice as Anderson travels to Tibet to find the source of a worldwide epidemic of supernatural events. Unlike the collected works of Judge Dredd, which run chronologically, this collection dips in and out of a number of ongoing narratives and references to previous — and as yet unprinted — stories can prove frustrating but not enough to ruin the overall flow of the individual stories. Interestingly, it's distinctly a pre-"Necropolis" story, since Silver's the Chief Judge. They are made even better by the incredible art. En moins de 4 ans, Pol Pot tua plus de 2 millions de personnes. Les livres du moment du 15 octobre : la parole aux Babelionautes. Anderson is prominent in her Division and gains the respect of Dredd.

  • LORD of the NIGHT Simon Spurrier
    A WARHAMMER 40,000 NOVEL LORD OF THE NIGHT Simon Spurrier Simon Spurrier «Lord of the Night» IT IS THE 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. YET EVEN IN his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon‐infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperorʹs will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adcptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio‐engineered super‐warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever‐vigilant Inquisition and the tech‐priests of the Adeptus Mcchanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever‐present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants ‐ and worse. To BE A man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re‐learned.
