In this volume we got Catwoman, The Demon, and the return of the Mawzir. We also see the Hitman in a relationship with Plenty of action in this one and as usual plenty of humor. The art keeps getting better, or either it's just growing on me. View 1 comment. Sep 15, Nikola rated it it was ok. I guess I gave it a fair shot, but this is where I sign off from this series. And I would feel relieved, if it wasn't for an adorable Hitman: Ace of Killers Volume 4 "Kiss me" standing out in this otherwise tiresome book. Instead I just regret Hitman didn't turn out what I expected it to be, especially as there are glimpses proving it could have. Jun 24, Tiara rated it it was amazing Shelves: dc-comicscomicsgraphic-novel. What can I say about these comics? They have been consistently good from the start. You can tell that Ennis cared so much for these characters. They feel like people you could have in your Hitman: Ace of Killers Volume 4 you overlook the fantastic elements that these books incorporate. Cut me some slack. They do still live in Gotham City. The stories are great, but the characters really make these books for me. They feel so true. I think this What can I say about these comics? I think this one is probably one of my favorites in the series because Deb and Tommy finally go somewhere with their relationship. Deb is such a great character, showing time and time again that she Hitman: Ace of Killers Volume 4 hang with Tommy without him having to worry about protecting a dizzy female. Overall, I am still loving these books, and it really does make me sad to know that this is given a definitive ending. This trade contains Hitman The stories here build heavily off of previous volumes. Don't start reading here - go back to the beginning. This collection opens with the titular six issue Ace of Killers arc. The demons Tommy turned down and their star agent he humiliated are back for revenge. The interplay of characters is a highlight as usual, and in addition to the regular cast and old foes it also features old and new "allies. The touches of humor are as normal - hilarious when integrated into the comic and eye rolling when singled out and Ennis goes overboard. The remainder of the collection is comprised of two single issue stories. The first is a fantastic "day off" kind of story focusing on Tommy's new quasi-relationship and how trouble always seems to find him. The second is about a job he gets to take out a radioactive evil Santa. Overall Ace of Killers is a great entry in the adventures of Ennis' everyday assassin despite a couple small missteps. This is a pretty good natured book for a gun- driven violent comic with sex never too far from its mind although not frequently explicitly in the pages. It just feels like all the characters are having a good time. Jun 29, Teo rated it liked it. The first story is a continuation of the previous "10, Bullets", and brings together a greater number of awesome characters, including the hilarious Section 8, Six-Pac's raggedy band of heroes. Jan 08, Travis rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novel. This was a thoroughly entertaining read. You have to appreciate dark humor and gun violence to enjoy it, Hitman: Ace of Killers Volume 4. I apparently own the first volume of the series but have no recollection of it, so some of the plot points and characters in this volume were a bit confusing but nothing too distracting. The dark corners of the DC comics universe are usually pretty entertaining e. John Constantine but can also be too slow e. Swamp Thing. Hitman's ties to the DC universe can be tenuous but that This was a thoroughly entertaining read. Hitman's ties to the DC universe can be tenuous but that allows much more freedom with the setting of Gotham City. I'm usually not a fan of the demon Etrigan but here he and his rhyming shtick actually work amidst Hitman: Ace of Killers Volume 4 the other chaos and demons. Catwoman's appearance, though, felt like nothing more than giving the men someone to ogle, although that does provide a nice contrast to Tommy Monaghan's interactions with Deborah Tiegel. The last issue is a standalone story about a worker at a nuclear power plant who gets irradiated on Christmas Eve and goes on a killing spree at the mall. There were some very funny moments in this issue, although some of the references are dated so I didn't get them. By Garth Ennis standards this is actually pretty tame, especially for a book with the title "Hitman. Mar 08, Cale rated it liked it.

The book also shows Ennis' impressive character work; these characters feel deeper than you'd expect in a mainstream comic. It's not up to his Hitman: Ace of Killers Volume 4 work, but it's as close as you're going to get and actually closer than you'd expect under the main DC heading.

    JUCS 4 (1+2) pp. 241–261 Intellect Limited 2017 Journal of Urban Cultural Studies Volume 4 Numbers 1 & 2 © 2017 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jucs.4.1-2.241_1 MARTIN LUND Linnaeus University ‘Every day is 9/11!’: Re-constructing Ground Zero in three US comics ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This article analyses three comics series: writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Tony comics Harris’ Ex Machina (August 2004–August 2010); writer Brian Wood and artist Ground Zero Riccardo Burchielli’s DMZ (November 2005–February 2012); and writer Garth 9/11 Ennis and artist Darick Robertson’s The Boys (October 2006–November 2012). archifictions Taking literary critic Laura Frost’s concept of ‘archifictions’ as its starting point, the War on Terror article discusses how these series frame the September 11 attacks on New York and architecture their aftermath, but its primary concern is with their engagement with the larger social ramifications of 9/11 and with the War on Terror, and with how this engage- ment is rooted in and centred on Ground Zero. It argues that this rooting allows these comics’ creators to critique post-9/11 US culture and foreign policy, but that it also, ultimately, serves to disarm the critique that each series voices in favour of closure through recourse to recuperative architecture. The attacks on September 11 continue to be felt in US culture. Comics are no exception. Comics publishers, large and small, responded immediately and comics about the attacks or the War on Terror have been coming out ever since. Largely missing from these comics, however, is an engagement with Ground Zero; after depicting the Twin Towers struck or falling, artists and writers rarely give the area a second thought.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Decapitation
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Decapitation. Dismemberment. Serial killers. Graphic gore. Hey, Kids! COMICS!! Since the release of The Dark Knight film series and the 22 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic-book characters have become wildly popular in other forms of entertainment, particularly television. But broadcast TV’s representations of comic-book characters are no longer the bright, colorful, and optimistic figures of the past. Children are innately attracted to comic-book characters; but in today’s comic book-based programs, children are being exposed to graphic violence, profanity, dark and intense themes, and other inappropriate content. In this research report, the PTC examined comic book-themed prime-time programming on the maJor broadcast networks during November, February, and May “sweeps” periods from November 2012 through May 2019. Programs examined were Fox’s Gotham; CW’s Arrow, Black Lightning, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends oF Tomorrow, and Riverdale; and ABC’s Marvel’s Agents oF S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Agent Carter, and Marvel’s Inhumans. Research data suggest that broadcast television programs based on these comic-book characters, created and intended for children, are increasingly inappropriate and/or unsafe for young viewers. In its research, the PTC found the following during the study period: • In comic book-themed programming with particular appeal to children, young viewers were exposed to over 6,000 incidents of violence, over 500 deaths, and almost 2,000 profanities. • The most violent program was CW’s Arrow. Young viewers witnessed 1,241 acts of violence, including 310 deaths, 280 instances of gun violence, and 26 scenes of people being tortured.

  • The League Returns
    Volume 11 #6 “News, reviews and opinions from the world of comics” December 2007 The League Returns League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier HC I think we can all agree that the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie wasn’t too good, but there’s a history of mediocre adap- tations of Alan Moore projects. But the truth is, the actual comics have all been excellent. If you’ve let that stop you from trying one of the best books of the last decade, it’s your loss. Seriously, go buy volumes 1 & 2, read them, love them, and then get ready for... The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier! Many years in the making, and many months in production, the thick hard cover tome is fi nally out. Set in a dark England in the 1950s in which the League have been disbanded, it’s up to Mina Murray and Allan Quatermain to fi nd the legendary Black Dossier (the history of the League throughout the ages), before their enemies do. While not technically the third part of the League series, the Black Dossier is a full-length graphic novel, plus lots of cool DVD-style extras! Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill have outdone themselves on this one. Hopefully DC will keep it in *Editor’s note: Opps, looks print through the holiday season, but I’d like this book is sold out grab a copy now, just to be safe.* at Diamond. Better buy it now before or you’ll be left waiting!!! — Smilin’ Scott Heroes Hits Hardcover Not satisfi ed with only one thirty dollar hardcover this month, DC has also released the Heroes HC, a collection of the super-popular Heroes webcomics.

BATMAN, CATWOMAN, GOTHAM CITY, ET AL CREATED BY BOB KANE, PROPERTY OF DC ENTERTAINMENT, USED WITHOUT PERMISSION SOMETHING BLUE The website Tim Drake was reading was one of the stupidest exhibits of paranoia, conspiracy theories, and urban legends on, he was certain, the entire internet. But it had the best photo available of the patch of desert known as Glow Ground 51. Beneath the image of ordinary-looking wasteland that took on a greenish tint after sundown, were two vitriolic essays arguing that the land was the crash-site of alien spacecraft hidden by the government at Area 51 or else an Indian burial ground desecrated by nuclear testing in the late ’50s. Tim stared at the photos. It was neither. It was Clark Kent’s Bachelor Party. Tim didn’t know all the details. No one did, except those present, and (if they remembered) they weren’t talking. But even in Young Justice one heard things: Hal Jordon was Green Lantern then … Jagermeister … a cocktail waitress called Lola … the Golden Gate Bridge …Oliver Queen… the Space Needle… Tequila… and prominent members of the Justice League told they were no longer welcome in three West Coast cities for anything less than a nine-alarm fire. “The truth is out there!” the website proclaimed. Tim would dearly love to know what it was, now more than ever. He was 17. He was a high school junior. What did he know about planning a bachelor party? Dick said it didn’t matter.
