We've kept you waiting long enough The gang's all here as the forces of evil attack from all sides. But Angel's not just fighting for his own life, the fate of someone he never thought he'd see again hangs in the balance. After the Fall, Part Ten. Months ago, Los Angeles went to hell. Or maybe hell came to Los Angeles. Find out the truth once and for all. Plus, someone's been manipulating everyone from the start. Angel would very much like to meet him, and he'll tear through every demon in LA to do so. Meanwhile, Spike has something important to tell Wesley, Illyria has a new role, and what the hell is Gunn keeping in the basement? After the Fall, Part Eleven. After the Fall, Part Twelve. Last issue, Angel and Gunn were reunited. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go very well, and it's about to get worse. Gunn's master plan has comes to light, and it not only does it have horrifying repercussions for Angel and his friends, it could spell disaster for all of Los Angeles. After the Fall, Part Thirteen. Gunn wants to save Los Angeles. Angel will do anything to stop him. Plus, someone makes Wesley an offer he can't refuse Revelations, surprises, and battles to the death, in the lucky 13th issue of the official continuation of the Angel series. After the Fall, Part Fourteen. The truth has been revealed. Master plans are on the table. People are dying. And evil is winning. The forces of good take their last stand, but with certain death surrounding them, they're going to have to do the unthinkable to win the day. After the Fall, Part Fifteen. Over a year ago, they were sent to hell. Lives were changed. Friends became mortal enemies. But now they're all reunited, and unsurprisingly, it is not going well. Friends will die, Los Angeles will fall, and the end of everything Angel holds dear is at hand. After the Fall, Part Sixteen. Unlike then, however, everyone who was in hell with Angel got to keep their memory. Quite the opposite! He is a hero, not just to the guys at Angel Investigations. With a plot that more or less returns the characters to the status quo by the end, there's inevitably the question of what was the point. Even this was expertly handled. Putting that in the mouth of Spike while simultaneously keeping true to his front of self interest while at the same time building more into their relationship was gold. In what essentially boils down to, 'the senior partners were so sure you'd come over to the dark side - they have cookies - but since they went to all this trouble to orchestrate it, maybe that future's not so set in stone after all' gave both a reason behind the After the Fall story arc, and showed that things weren't unchanged, if Angel's rise to celebrity wasn't enough towards that already. Another nod I liked came in the form of Spike's pre-existing friendship with Betta George, the psychic fish who appears in previous Spike fronted comics scripted by Lynch. Spike delivers Angel with a serve that just because he's not there, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm kind of sad to have After the Fall finished, though, for all that I'm not usually a comic book fan. My mind may be changing. Apr 15, Aaron rated it really liked it. When people say the L.

This seems to be the concluding volume that deals with all of the iss When people say the L. This seems to be the concluding volume that deals with all of the issues that have resulted from the storyline, including Gunn's turn to vampirism, Fred's connection with the uber-demon Ilyria, Angel's status of being the vampire with a soul fated to turn the tide for good or evil in the ultimate battle, and his relationship with his son Connor. The illustrations in this series have been amazing, capturing the look of all the originating actors for the various characters. Just about all of the regulars from the series, outside of humorous demi-demon Doyle, appear in the story, though I was disappointed to see that Lorne, demon lounge lizard turned city ruler, seemed to totally disappear outside of cameos in this volume. With that said, it was really awesome to see Cordy return for a while. This has really been an interesting story, but this final volume seems a bit overrun with plots and subplots so that it really seems to conclude with a whimper. Unlike the television series, fans are left with a lot more hope at the conclusion as well as wonderment as to where the surviving characters will end up. My understanding is that there will be at least one more graphic novel put out, called Aftermath, that will pick up the story with a new plot. May 29, M rated it liked it. The final volume of After the Fall brings us closure, while leaving the story open enough to be continued. Gunn has a plan to fix everything - by killing Angel and using a mystical altar to jumpstart Illyria's time powers. Things get worse for Team Angel as Illyria reverts to her classical demon form instead, and seeks to end existence itself; Connor, Groosalugg, the dragon, and more fall during the massive battle. Making a final play based on Wolfram and Hart's plans for him, Angel takes on Gun The final volume of After the Fall brings us closure, while leaving the story open enough to be continued. While seemingly erasing the event, this turn of the clock allows for Angel to rescue Gunn and prevent a repeat of his failures. Ironically, everyone in LA remembers the Fall, and Angel must now contend with a slight celebrity status. Illyria now watches over a hospitalized Gunn, the dragon and Groo take off for further adventures, a library wing is dedicated to Fred and Wesley, and Angel, Spike, Connor, and the gang return the the Hyperion. Though more Angel adventures follow, the lack of Whedon, odd character choices, and non-canonical detritus relegates them to fan-fiction. Aug 25, Brendan Ellis rated it liked it. Thanks to IDW's slow paperback release schedule I'd actually forgotten a lot about what what going on in this story. At the beginning I found myself quite confused about what was going on. In addition to that I felt the art seemed to be very rushed and so I found myself not really enjoying it. For those reasons I only got about half way thought when I first started reading and it didn't make me want to keep going. Picking up where I'd left off things seemed to suddenly make much more sense and in the end it came to a pretty satisfying conclusion. The only thing I have against it now is the the artwork was still underwhelming. Overall a pretty good read but only for fans of the series who've already read the first three volumes. It's appears that IDW are not planning to release the rest of the Angel series in paperback, which is a shame! I've been waiting patiently for so long. If I'd known I would have bought the hardcover versions of the first four volumes so they all matched. Now I think instead I will buy the rest digitally. Jan 17, Alan rated it really liked it.

    CONTRA COSTA SUPERIOR COURT MARTINEZ, CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT: 33 HEARING DATE: 05/04/17 1. TIME: 9:00 CASE#: MSC10-01534 CASE NAME: JEWELL VS. BARCLAYS HEARING ON MOTION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OF DISMISSAL PURSUANT TO SETTLEMENT / FILED BY BARCLAYS CAPITAL REAL ESTATE, INC., et al. * TENTATIVE RULING: * Defendants’ current motion (1) to dismiss, or (2) in the alternative for leave to amend defendants’ answer and to file a cross-complaint based on the parties’ abandoned settlement agreement, is denied in full. The trial date of October 30, 2017, is confirmed. In the Court’s order on the previous motion to dismiss, the Court found in pertinent part as follows: The Court further finds that it is too late for defendants to move to set aside the judgment of dismissal entered more than two years ago, on January 14, 2015. Defendants did not move to set aside the judgment after learning of its entry; instead, defendants ratified the judgment by filing a memorandum of costs and a motion for attorney fees in May 2015, and by defending the judgment on appeal. After the remittitur was issued, defendants still did not move to set aside the judgment; instead, they filed a renewed motion for summary judgment on the merits. Even now, as of the date of this ruling, no motion to set aside the judgment is before the Court; a reply memorandum cannot serve the function of a completely new motion seeking new relief. Finally, any motion to set aside the Court’s prior judgment is moot; the judgment has already been vacated by the Court of Appeal.

    Roz Kaveney A Sense of the Ending: Schrödinger's Angel This essay will be included in Stacey Abbott's Reading Angel: The TV Spinoff with a Soul, to be published by I. B. Tauris and appears here with the permission of the author, the editor, and the publisher. Go here to order the book from Amazon. (1) Joss Whedon has often stated that each year of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was planned to end in such a way that, were the show not renewed, the finale would act as an apt summation of the series so far. This was obviously truer of some years than others – generally speaking, the odd-numbered years were far more clearly possible endings than the even ones, offering definitive closure of a phase in Buffy’s career rather than a slingshot into another phase. Both Season Five and Season Seven were particularly planned as artistically satisfying conclusions, albeit with very different messages – Season Five arguing that Buffy’s situation can only be relieved by her heroic death, Season Seven allowing her to share, and thus entirely alleviate, slayerhood. Being the Chosen One is a fatal burden; being one of the Chosen Several Thousand is something a young woman might live with. (2) It has never been the case that endings in Angel were so clear-cut and each year culminated in a slingshot ending, an attention-grabber that kept viewers interested by allowing them to speculate on where things were going. Season One ended with the revelation that Angel might, at some stage, expect redemption and rehumanization – the Shanshu of the souled vampire – as the reward for his labours, and with the resurrection of his vampiric sire and lover, Darla, by the law firm of Wolfram & Hart and its demonic masters (‘To Shanshu in LA’, 1022).

  • Cripping School Curricula: 20 Ways to Re-Teach Disability David Connor
    Cripping School Curricula: 20 Ways to Re-Teach Disability David Connor Hunter College, City University of New York & Lynne Bejoian Teachers College, Columbia University Abstract: As instructors of a graduate level course about using film to re-teach disability, we deliberately set out to “crip” typical school curricula from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Utilizing disability studies to open up alternative understandings and reconceptualizations of disability, we explored feature films and documentaries, juxtaposing them with commonplace texts and activities found in school curricula. In doing so, we sought to challenge any simplistic notions of disability and instead cultivate knowledge of a powerful, and largely misunderstood aspect of human experience. The article incorporates twenty suggestions to re-teach disability that arose from the course. These ideas provide educators and other individuals with a set of pedagogical tools and approaches to enrich, complicate, challenge, clarify, and above all, expand narrowly perceived and defined conceptions of disability found within the discourse of schooling. Key Words: media, curriculum, disability studies in education *Editor’s Note: This article was anonymously peer reviewed. As instructors of a graduate level course on using film to re-teach disability, we deliberately set out to crip school curricula from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Historically, representations of people with disabilities in film have been characterized as damaging, restrictive, stereotypic, pessimistic, and inaccurate (Norden, 1994; Safran, 1998a; Safran, 1998b). Acknowledging the profound degree of influence film exerts on the public’s consciousness, we actively seek to challenge such depictions. Using the insights of disability studies to open up alternative understandings and reframings of disability, we explore feature films and documentaries, juxtaposing them with typical texts and activities found in school curricula.

  • Throughout Its Existence Buffy the Vampire Slayer Was Most Commonly Interpreted in Frameworks of Philosophy and Mythology, Of
    Buffy Goes to War: Military Themes and Images in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Dennis Showalter [1]Throughout its existence Buffy the Vampire Slayer was most commonly interpreted in frameworks of philosophy and mythology, of literary criticism and gender studies—all of them intellectual constructions. Yet Buffy’s is at bottom an action format. Its inspiration was Joss Whedon’s desire to tell a story “where a blonde girl walks into a dark room and kicks butt….”1 Buffy as played by Sarah Michelle Gellar was a physical heroine, unintellectual and unreflective, consistently at her best when doing something. Even Willow, the group’s “mind,” was ultimately a problem-solver who acted before she thought. [2]Most analyses developing that concept focus on the aspect of Buffy as “transgressive woman warrior,” and contextualize it in an emerging “tough girl “ category of popular culture.2 That, however, is a perspective at once limited and limiting. In its developed form the action/adventure genre has three dominant expressions. The first is based on the questing hero. Its focus is a protagonist seeking adventure or redemption, usually voluntarily but occasionally under some form of geas or compulsion. The protagonist acts alone or at the most with one or two partners or sidekicks. The protagonist’s skills, whether natural, preternatural, or supernatural, are exponentially superior to those of anyone else, and are decisive in advancing and resolving the story line. This version of the action/adventure genre also has a strong picaresque element, with the protagonist 1 Kathleen Tracy, “The Girl’s Got Bite: The Original Unauthorized Guide to Buffy’s World , rev.
