Because so many reviews, so little time and all that crap. But this series is shrimping amazing. And this instalment is the mostest awesomest one so far. And you know what makes it super xtra mostest awesomest? It's a survivor. Because I never intended to read it. Because after reading volume 2, I wanted to give up on the series view spoiler [ Lazarus: Conclave Volume 3 got that right, sister. I'd already bought this volume. And suddenly, I saw the light! And some light it was. I am SO in love right now. Woot woot woot and stuff. I see world domination in their near future. And I predict things are gonna get pretty epic real soon. Woo Hoo! No mercy, baby! No mercy! So much blood! So much beauty! This is pure bliss! So much harem material, so little time. You still have not clue what a Lazarus is, huh?

Another home run by Greg Rucka and Michael Lark. Went back and read this again as part of Lazarus, the Second Collection. Basically Game of Thrones in the future, it is absolutely fantastic.

Now in the third we are back to a kind of war brewing between two families, ho hum, but some more interesting intrigue may also be brewing with Forever, raised to be a super killer, a Female family Ronin, who has to decide what to do with the news that she has just recently learned, that she is not the biological daughter of the "father" she has been coldly and brutally raised to serve. We Lazarus: Conclave Volume 3 starting to like and care for Forever,after three volumes, not that we know all that much about her, really. We have now had backstory on how she got raised. So is she now going to remain loyal? Is she now in a position to Lazarus: Conclave Volume 3 independent? This is, again, not really new, from a plot standpoint and this particular volume from a character standpoint isn't all that deep. And there's WAY too many families and characters to follow. Make it four families, Rucka, instead of like eleven! But it's pretty good, I say. Though will I still be reading this in volume nineteen? I doubt it. View 2 comments. This series is really catching its stride and this volume, by the end of it, turns everything ass over teakettle. I have really enjoyed how all three books in this series have all had their own little vibe going on. This latest volume is just as great if not the best yet. It's like a science fiction version Game Of Thrones. I suck at comparisons. Regardless, Lazarus: Conclave Volume 3 Lazari are pretty freaking cool and this arc has 'em by the truckload. Not to mention all the fucked up family shit that goes on. Mother of a cliffhanger though. Its gonna be a long wait. Lazarus, Vol. 3: Conclave by Greg Rucka Search: All Products inc. Page 45 Review by Stephen "The weather's turning. It looks like a storm. Would you permit me to kiss you, Forever? That's what being a Lazarus entails. If Forever is formal it is because however effective she is in the field, her duties have deprived her of any emotional experience she might call her own. If she is nervous it is because she is finally allowing herself to have the first tentative steps of one with Joacquim Morray, Lazarus of the Morray family which may currently be allied to the Family Carlyle but which looks very likely to switch sides to the Carlyles' most manipulative and bitter competition, Jakob Hock. Then it won't matter how respectful Joacquim is or how much Forever's Lazarus: Conclave Volume 3 hurts: if their Families demand they fight, they will do so, if necessary to the death. That hasn't happened yet but something so similar between others does, and it is heartbreaking. Lark is equally adept at an actual dance, the other rare moment of tenderness preceding this scene which Jakob Hock - with his flair for the dramatic, the cruel and humiliating - interrupts to devastating effect. Oh, and the environment: Lark is one of my favourite landscape artists. His rain I rate up there with Eisner. Democracies have imploded, politicians no longer exist and the globe has been carved up between the sixteen wealthiest Families because money buys people, money buys technology and money buys guns. Money, technology and guns buy power and control. The strategy Greg Rucka has employed to introduce this grave new world to its readers has been impeccable: LAZARUS VOL 1 showed us the focal-point Family Carlyle and two sharp-toothed vipers Lazarus: Conclave Volume 3 its nest; LAZARUS VOL 2 broadened its scope to societal structure - the bottom-heavy pyramid of Family at the top, its wafer-thin secondary layer of privileged serfs useful to Family prosperity, then the vast majority deemed and so dismissed as "waste" underneath.

  • 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.

Forever Lazarus: Volume 5 is badly wounded after the events of Poison while her estranged sister Johanna unexpectedly finds herself as head of the Family. With her father Malcolm recovering quickly will Johanna remain in control for long? Angry, unpredictable and aggressive, the family prepares for the Lazarus: Volume 5 and begins a Lazarus: Volume 5. Yet despite the tension between them, Johanna needs Forever on her side in order for her plans to work. Johanna has no idea which way up this desperate toss of the coin will land. With the powerful Vassalovka Family unleashing the dangerous Lazarus Zmeg, the results may have deadly consequences. A dystopian future where the world is divided amongst the wealthiest one percent Lazarus: Volume 5 like spoilt toddlers is discomforting. Especially when considering International politics of the s. His cast is deeply textured and with continuous plot developments this is a cracking thriller. Grimy when presenting the outside world and explicitly displaying the violence of battle, it switches smoothly to cool interiors accentuating the comfort within various Family residences. We all want a better roof over our heads, a role in society that reflects our inherent abilities and talents while providing a better future for our children. That the fate of the human race depends on the whims of a few and is influenced by the outcomes of their petty quarrels? The echoes of both reality and history are not pleasant to consider.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

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.

The Army Research Office had issued broad agency solicitations for such a center in October 2001, and they enthusiastically selected MIT’s proposal from among several candidates, awarding them $50 million to kick start what became dubbed the MIT Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN). MIT’s proposal out- lined areas of nanoscience, polymer chemistry, and molecular engineering that could provide fruitful military applications in the near term, as well as more speculative applications in the future. It also featured the striking image of a mechanically armored woman warrior, standing amidst the mon- uments of some futuristic cityscape, packing two enormous guns and other assault devices (Figure 1). This image proved appealing enough beyond the proposal to grace the ISN’s earliest websites, and it also accompanied several publicity announcements for the institute’s inauguration.

    The Psychological Complexity of Batman, the Joker and their Relationship in the Dark Age of Comics LARS VAN AMERONGEN-KRUISSELBRINK MICHAEL JOHN PRINCE University of Agder, 2020 Faculty of Humanities and Education Department of Foreign Languages and Translation Table of Contents: Introduction Chapter 1) Comics as a Medium Chapter 2) The World of Batman in Comics Chapter 3) The Dark Age, the Shadow and Doubles Chapter 4) Moore vs. Morrison: Batman and the Joker in The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum. Chapter 5) Murphy vs. Snyder: Batman and the Joker in White Knight and The Batman Who Laughs Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Batman and the Joker have been iconic characters ever since their creation merely one year apart 80 years ago.1 Making their debut in the comics - the duo have since been adapted to cartoons, tv-series, videogames, and movies. This has led to a franchise rivaled only by few. Equally iconic is perhaps the relationship between the two, whom one can arguably claim to be the most well-known arch enemies in comic book history (possibly history in general), surpassing even DC colleagues Superman and Lex Luther. Modern comic book history starting with the Platinum Age in 1897, is divided up into several ages due to a variety of characteristics that set the comics of their time apart.2 The comics I have chosen to focus on belong to what is referred to as the Modern Age (1986-) and most of them specifically to the Dark Age (1986-) a sub-age of the Modern Age. Arguably starting in the late 70s and early 80s, there is a general consensus that the Dark Age of comics began in 1986 with Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore’s Watchmen.3 The two dark, gritty and complex works took the superhero genre and massively deconstructed it, providing much of the direct inspiration for what followed.

Chapter 5 History Left Unsaid: Implied Continuity in Batman’s Contemporary Comic-Book Narratives Anthony N. Smith In 2011, DC comics significantly revamped its large line of comic books, resetting the issue numbering of long-enduring superhero titles and streamlining the narrative continuity – the inter-connected backstory – that the characters had accumulated and shared over decades.1 The new line – dubbed ‘The New 52’ – was intended in part to attract new readers to the DC universe.2 As the company’s Co-Publisher (and fan- favourite artist) Jim Lee explained, the line’s high issue numbers (Detective Comics had reached #881 prior to the reset) and complicated character biographies ‘made the world of comic books a little more daunting to jump into’. The changes, the company hoped, would enable ‘new readers’ to ‘jump in and understand what’s going on from the very first issue’.3 The Batman backstory, however, was exempted from the simplification process that DC’s wider narrative universe underwent.4 As Batman writer Scott Snyder stressed shortly after the comic-book line reboot, in contrast to the likes of Superman, many of the significant events that the Caped Crusader had experienced within the prior universe would remain part of DC’s newly-created continuity.

  • Book Club Reading List.Indd
    GRAPHIC NOVEL BOOK CLUBS READING LIST • 2014–2016 Toucan art by Rick Geary In 2014, Comic-Con International: San Diego in partnership with the San Diego Public Library, embarked on an ambi- tious project to start a series of Graphic Novel Book Clubs in some of the local branches around the greater San Diego area. Two branches started in 2014, one at the Downtown Central Library location and one at the Mission Valley branch. In 2015, additional groups were added to both the North Park and La Jolla branches. Over the past 3 years, the branches have read over 75 separate graphic novels (and graphic novel series). We’ve compiled this combined reading list showing everything that was read from 2014 through the end of 2016. Some books were “All- Group Selections,” meaning all four groups got together to discuss one book. Multiple volume-reads, usually taking place over more than one meeting, are also highlighted, as are books that were Eisner Award winners (see the key below for an explanation of the symbols accompanying each book in this list). What have we learned? Well, people LOVE comics! Surprisingly, some of our book club members had never read a comic book or graphic novel until they joined their book clubs! They had gone to Comic-Con and were fascinated by what they saw there, and when the opportunity arose, they joined the club. For the most part over the past three years, our book club membership has remained constant, with very few people leav- ing. The clubs meet every month, with a holiday party in December that combines all of them and includes the reading of the above-mentioned “All-Group Selection.” What has grown out of these clubs is a sense of community—some might even call it family—within the various clubs.
