Great Crossover CollectionBy MorganThis book is a great collection of Marvel/Top Cow crossovers that saves you the trouble of hunting down each separate issue. Included is the Devil's Reign crossover, an enormous multi-character story arc that ran for six or seven issues and made me fall in love with the characters Cyblade and Ballistic. The artwork is beautifully reproduced. The only problem with this paperback is the binding is weak, and the pages start falling out as soon as you start reading it. If this doesn't bother you too much, it's a worthwhile purchase. Just keep in mind that you'll be fumbling with loose pages quite often.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just okayBy A. McLaughlinWhile I enjoy many of the Top Cow and Marvel characters included in this volume, it's a pretty generic crossover collection. I didn't have the interest to read all of the stories in it, but the art was cool. The Witchblade/Wolverine story was my favorite, though admittedly basic in nature. If you wish the Witchblade and Elektra were real women, you'll get a little bit of PG-fanservice that might make it worth your while, but in retrospect, I would have passed on this collection.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. HorribleBy ChongoDon't be fooled by the great cover. This was one of, if not, THE worst crossover tpb's I've ever purchased. I'd have to say that even a lot of the interior art isn't so great so it almost comes off like a fanzine this wouldn't be such a bad thing if the stories were interesting. And the fact that they're not doesn't help any. A decade's worth of great Marvel Comics/Top Cow crossovers are finally collected in one superstar package! Mephisto moves over from the Marvel Universe to focus his attention on Top Cow in the epic "Devil's Reign" crossover, while Wolverine meets Witchblade and The Hulk takes on The Darkness in separate titanic tales! It's 11 issues worth of worlds colliding! .

  • The Darkness of Man: a Study of Light and Dark Imagery in Seneca's
    The Darkness of Man: A Study of Light and Dark Imagery in Seneca’s Thyestes and Agamemnon A Senior Thesis in Classics The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Emily Kohut May 2016 Kohut 1 Acknowledgments I would like to give my deepest and heartfelt thanks to Colorado College’s Classics department. Thank you Owen Cramer, Sanjaya Thakur, Marcia Dobson, and Richard Buxton for all of your help, edits, and advice throughout the course of my time here at CC and especially while working on this project. Thank you to my family and friends for supporting me through this whole process and to the many others who have been involved in my time here at CC. This has been an amazing experience and I could not have done it without all of you. Thank you very much. Kohut 2 The Darkness of Man: A Study of Light and Dark Imagery in Seneca’s Thyestes and Agamemnon Seneca’s Thyestes and Agamemnon are texts in which light rarely presents itself, instead it is dark that is present from start to finish. Throughout the course of these texts, I take note of the use and presence, or lack, of light. There appear to be two specific uses of light that serve specific purposes in Thyestes and Agamemnon: natural light (generally indicated with primarily die- or luc-1 based words), and artificial light (referenced by words related to/derived from flamma or ardeo2). Natural light is prominently used only when discussing its being consumed by darkness, while artificial light appears in passages saturated with destruction and chaos.

  • 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.

  • Invincible Jumpchain- Compliant CYOA
    Invincible Jumpchain- Compliant CYOA By Lord Statera ​ Introduction Welcome to Invincible. Set in the Image comic book multiverse, this setting is home to older heroes and villains like Spawn, The Darkness, and The Witchblade. This story, however, focuses on the new superhero Invincible (Mark Grayson), the half-breed Viltrumite-Human hybrid and son of the world famous hero Omni-Man (Nolan Grayson). Invincible spends the beginning of his career working alongside the Teen Team, and with his father, to defend not only Baltimore but the Earth from many and varied threats. Little does he know that his father, rather than being an alien from a peace loving species, is actually a harbinger of war to the planet Earth. Viltrumites are actually a race bent on conquering the universe, one planet at a time. And with their level of power, not much can stop them. Fortunately, there is one secret the Viltrumite Empire has been hiding. Over 99% of the Viltrumite population had been wiped out using a plague genetically engineered by scientists of the Coalition of Planets, they are forced to wage a proxy war using their servant races against the Coalition, all the while sending individual Viltrumites out to take one world at a time, in their attempt to conquer the stars. As humans are the closest genetic match for the Viltrumite race outside of another Viltrumite, the remnants of this mighty alien race turn their sights on Earth in the hopes of using it as a breeding farm to repopulate their race. To help you survive in this universe, here are 1000 Choice Points.

Methods,2017,9,55 Eva Fritzsche,a Pia Gruber,a Susanne Schutting,a Jan P. Fischer,b Martin Strobl,a c a a Jens D. Muller,¨ Sergey M. Borisov* and Ingo Klimant A new optical carbon dioxide sensor for environmental monitoring is presented. It combines a robust and long-term stable sensing material with a compact read-out device. The sensing material relies on a NIR pH indicator immobilized into ethyl cellulose along with a quaternary ammonium base. The perfluorinated polymer Hyflon AD 60 used as a protection layer significantly enhances the long-term and mechanical stability of the sensor foils, as well as the robustness against poisoning gases, e.g. hydrogen sulfide. The sensor can be stored under ambient conditions for more than six weeks, whereas sensors covered with silicone rubber deteriorate within one week under the same conditions. The complete sensor device is Received 27th October 2016 applicable after a three-point (re)calibration without a preconditioning step.

  • 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.
