Start your review of Doom Patrol, Volume 2: Nada. Jan 16, Chad rated it really liked it Shelves:hoopla. A worthy successor to Grant Morrison. This has all the strange trippyness of the Vertigo run but still relates a quirky, fun story that you can actually follow. Nick Derington's pop art works perfectly with the absurdist stories. Tamra Bonvillain vibrant colors bring the book Doom Patrol: Book 2 life. I'm very tempted now to go back and read Grant Morrison's run straight into Way's. Way references the Vertigo run often but it's been 20 years since I've read it so I'm sure I missed a lot of the callbacks. The only A worthy successor to Grant Morrison. The Doom Patrol: Book 2 knock I'd give the book is the release schedule. This clearly leads into Milk Wars which already came out in trade 6 months ago. If you're going to plan an event, the books leading up to it better come out on time. Jun 30, Donovan rated it liked it. While delightfully absurdist, meta, and psychedelic, the story arcs are becoming inconsequential and mired in their own madness. Apr 29, Wing Kee rated it it was amazing. World: Doom Patrol: Book 2 love the art, Derrington is one of my favorite current artists and he brings so much life and character and style for the book. This book would be nothing without his art setting the tone and the look for this insane world, I love it. The world building Doom Patrol: Book 2 utterly bonkers and fantastic. This is a full circle tale from what we saw with the first issue of the Doom Patrol: Book 2 animal version of Doom Patrol Doom Patrol: Book 2 the pieces that all com 4. This is a full circle tale from what we saw with Doom Patrol: Book 2 first issue of the young animal version of Doom Patrol and the pieces that all come together to bring us a weird insane trippy world that is so insane it's hard to describe, you either think it's brilliant or you think it's just rubbish Doom Patrol: Book 2 think it's brilliant. Story: If this book had Doom Patrol: Book 2 came out before Milk Wars this story would have made my brain explode. I loved Milk Wars and the against current norms and general embracing of weirdness and the fringe that that book was and this was the story that should have lead up to it. The Retconn and The Disappointment was started here and if I had Doom Patrol: Book 2 context with which this story established Milk Wars would have been even better, but alas the release schedule really messed that up. That being said this arc is insane and meta and also so much a love letter to Morrison's run of Doom Patrol that I can't help but love it. Are we trying to judge this arc and this series with logical eyes or are we looking at it as a celebration of just plain weird and odd and the other that makes this so special. The meta text with fan fiction and Cliff really made me gasp and the ideas behind Terry and of course the Morrison created Mister Nobody and the Brotherhood of Dada is utterly fantastic. If you go back and read the Magical Bus arc from Morrison you will find the framework and Doom Patrol: Book 2 that is found in this iteration, the Brotherhood of the Nada. This story is not for everyone, if you don't want your stories to be trippy and you want a straight logical story with set rules than this book will make you nuts. But if you want an acid trip of a book that's so different and so creative and you see that there are no rules and the spirit of Nobody is in every fibre of this book, you will love it. Then there's the Retconn and Disappointment stuff which will further drive you insane with happiness or annoyance. I love this book and this story. Characters: Bonkers. I don't want to ruin anything for readers but the cast of characters are amazing, insanely original and nostalgic at the same time. From Spacecase to Rita Farr this book has some of the most unbelievable characters, add to that the banter, perfect. I can't say anything else cause the heart of this book are the characters and they are amazing. I am biased, I just simply love the Doom Patrol and the weirder and more unconventional they are the more I love them. This is a manifesto for fringe and weird and just unorthodox storytelling that perfectly encapsulates what the Young Animal line has been doing. I love this book! Onward to the next book! Jun 21, Drown Hollum rated it it was amazing. There are no doubts, Gerard Way is a main eventer. With his Doom patrol, he does more than follow in Morrison's footsteps. He creates a world and tone uniquely his own, and weaves a comprehensive narrative through all the madness. The story is wildly meta, and trusts the reader an awful lot to put things together, but even if you didn't have a clue what was going on, you would still love reading this book between the snappy dialogue and gorgeous weird-scapes of Nick Derrington. But again, the st There are no doubts, Gerard Way is a main eventer. But again, the story IS here, and really pretty damn thrilling as Way's new reality defines its parameters. Wish the schedule was tighter, but happy there's been no lapse in quality. Keep it coming boyz. Oct 07, Artemy rated it really liked it Shelves: dccomicsdc-vertigo. A fine continuation of volume 1. May 27, Diz rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. The only way that I can describe this is that it is bonkers. The story is meta and hardly holds together at all. Despite all this, I really enjoyed it. It's zany in a way that is likable. I particularly enjoyed it when Niles Caulder shows up and tries to take control of the Doom Patrol. Things get really weird even for the Doom Patrol after that. This Doom Patrol: Book 2 definitely not a series for those who need things to make sense. Dec 28, Chris Lemmerman rated it liked it Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. Just when things look like they might finally make sense, Casey and the Doom Patrol run afoul of the Brotherhood of Nada, lead by the infamous Mister Nobody! You can't make this stuff up, I swear. This arc is almost a re-telling of the old Brotherhood of Dada storylines from Morrison's run, with Doom Patrol: Book 2 different characters thrown in for fun, so if you liked Just when things look like they might finally make sense, Casey and the Doom Patrol run afoul of the Brotherhood of Nada, lead by the infamous Mister Nobody! This arc is almost a re-telling of the old Brotherhood of Dada storylines from Morrison's run, with some different characters thrown in for fun, so if you liked that, you'll like this, I guess? I think reading this volume in trade will be a lot more of an experience than reading it in single issues was - the release schedule was all over the shop, so being able to read the complete story in one go will likely enhance the impact. That still doesn't explain why issue 12 is completely unrelated to the rest of Doom Patrol: Book 2 run bar a tangential character appearance and a reference to the Milk Wars crossover, but I think DC were just trying to make sure the trade was 6 issues before they released it by this point, to be honest.

  • 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.

  • 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.

A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

    HOW SUPERMAN DEVELOPED INTO A JESUS FIGURE CRISIS ON INFINITE TEXTS: HOW SUPERMAN DEVELOPED INTO A JESUS FIGURE By ROBERT REVINGTON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Robert Revington, September 2018 MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2018) Hamilton, Ontario, Religious Studies TITLE: Crisis on Infinite Texts: How Superman Developed into a Jesus Figure AUTHOR: Robert Revington, B.A., M.A (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Travis Kroeker NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 143 ii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies LAY ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.

  • Batman Miniature Game Teams
    TEAMS IN Gotham MAY 2020 v1.2 Teams represent an exciting new addition to the Batman Miniature Game, and are a way of creating themed crews that represent the more famous (and infamous) groups of heroes and villains in the DC universe. Teams are custom crews that are created using their own rules instead of those found in the Configuring Your Crew section of the Batman Miniature Game rulebook. In addition, Teams have some unique special rules, like exclusive Strategies, Equipment or characters to hire. CONFIGURING A TEAM First, you must choose which team you wish to create. On the following pages, you will find rules for several new teams: the Suicide Squad, Bat-Family, The Society, and Team Arrow. Models from a team often don’t have a particular affiliation, or don’t seem to have affiliations that work with other members, but don’t worry! The following guidelines, combined with the list of playable characters in appropriate Recruitment Tables, will make it clear which models you may include in your custom crew. Once you have chosen your team, use the following rules to configure it: • You must select a model to be the Team’s Boss. This model doesn’t need to have the Leader or Sidekick Rank – s/he can also be a Free Agent. See your team’s Recruitment Table for the full list of characters who can be recruited as your team’s Boss. • Who is the Boss in a Team? 1. If there is a model with Boss? Always present, they MUST be the Boss, regardless of a rank.

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

An explicit aim of the entire process is to strengthen the voices and effectiveness of small-scale producers and other citizens in the governance of agricultural research as well as in setting strategic research priorities and validating knowledge. The book combines text, photos, video and audio recordings to describe the methodologies used in processes of deliberation and inclusion that involved small scale producers (farmers, pastoralists, fishermen and food processors) and holders of specialist knowledge on agricultural research. The policy recommendations that emerged out of two citizens’ juries and farmer led assessments of agricultural research are presented here along with some critical reflections on the process so far. The outcomes of these citizen deliberations have significant implications for current debates on the future of food and farming in West Africa. Sowing Autonomy. Gender and Seed Politics in Semi Arid India Carine Pionetti Women, through their multiple roles as farmers, livestock herders, cooks, gardeners, keepers of cu- linary traditions, custodians and healers, have played a major role in shaping biodiversity important for food and agriculture.
