While it is obvious. that these comic books can be used in the classroom as a source of reading material, it is tot so obvious that these comic books, with great economy, simplicity, and narrative density, can be used to further introduce novice readers to the techniques found in narrative and to the terms employed in the study and discussion of a narrative. The output of the Marvel Conics Group in particular is literate, is both narratively and pbSlosophically sophisticated, and is ethically and morally responsible. Some of the narrative tecbntques found in the stories, such as the Spider-Man episodes, include foreshadowing, a dramatic fiction narrator, flashback, irony, symbolism, metaphor, Biblical and historical allusions, and mythological allusions.4MKM1 4 4 *********************************************************************** * Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made * * from the original document. * *********************************************************************** ) U SOEPANTMENTO, HEALD..

A Few Observations About Previews
A FEW OBSERVATIONS ABOUT PREVIEWS RICHMOND ADAMS POPMEC RESEARCH BLOG In the early spring of 2019, my wife and I went to see Peter Farrelly’s Green Book and appreciated its presentation of the ever-present issues involving race, sexuality, and class. More interesting than another presentation of promise concerning the 1960s, however, had nothing to do with the film we went to see or even its portrayal of the relationship between Frank Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and Dr. Donald Shirley (Mahershala Ali). Rather, it was the specific previews shown that evening which sug- gested more prescient questions concerning our present circumstances. At the same time, I have no idea if Dream Works planned those specific previews to be shown as lead-ins to Farrelly’s film. By placing Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Captain Marvel as prefaces to Green Book, viewers were given, even unintentionally, a glimpse not so much at the human propensity for self-destruction, but our acquiescence to what ap- pear as various expressions of deepening cultural impotence. The initial preview was for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which reminded viewers of the inevitable sequel to the simply named Godzilla, and how it served as 2014’s re- newal of the films released in the mid-50s. With the usual reliance on CGI that almost invariably reduces narrative to “blowing up the world” (or at least a good portion of it), the preview showed the creature who happened to generate intense cinematic hor- ror during the era of American post war hegemony not as an (almost) undefeatable villain who indiscriminately destroys, but rather, as the apparent savior for what re- mained of national stability in the aftermath of 9–11, the Iraq War, and the 2008 and 2009 Great Recession.

Avengers Dissemble! Transmedia Superhero Franchises and Cultic Management
Taylor 1 Avengers dissemble! Transmedia superhero franchises and cultic management Aaron Taylor, University of Lethbridge Abstract Through a case study of The Avengers (2012) and other recently adapted Marvel Entertainment properties, it will be demonstrated that the reimagined, rebooted and serialized intermedial text is fundamentally fan oriented: a deliberately structured and marketed invitation to certain niche audiences to engage in comparative activities. That is, its preferred spectators are often those opinionated and outspoken fan cultures whose familiarity with the texts is addressed and whose influence within a more dispersed film- going community is acknowledged, courted and potentially colonized. These superhero franchises – neither remakes nor adaptations in the familiar sense – are also paradigmatic byproducts of an adaptive management system that is possible through the appropriation of the economics of continuity and the co-option of online cultic networking. In short, blockbuster intermediality is not only indicative of the economics of post-literary adaptation, but it also exemplifies a corporate strategy that aims for the strategic co- option of potentially unruly niche audiences. Keywords Marvel Comics superheroes post-cinematic adaptations Taylor 2 fandom transmedia cult cinema It is possible to identify a number of recent corporate trends that represent a paradigmatic shift in Hollywood’s attitudes towards and manufacturing of big budget adaptations. These contemporary blockbusters exemplify the new industrial logic of transmedia franchises – serially produced films with a shared diegetic universe that can extend within and beyond the cinematic medium into correlated media texts. Consequently, the narrative comprehension of single entries within such franchises requires an increasing degree of media literacy or at least a residual awareness of the intended interrelations between correlated media products.

The Amazing Spider-Man #6 (Marvel, 1963) Marvel Silver Age Hero Comic #88
The Amazing Spider-Man #6 (Marvel, 1963) Marvel Silver Age Hero Comic #88. First appearance of the Lizard (Dr. Curtis Connors), art rendered by Steve Ditko. #10 most valuable 1 st appearance 1963 silver age Marvel comic. Print run estimate: 175,000 copies. The Lizard (a.k.a. Curt Connors) is a fictional supervillain that appears in the Marvel Comics Universe. He is an enemy of Spider-Man. In 2009, the Lizard was named IGN's 62nd Greatest Comic Villain of All Time. In the stories, Dr. Connors was a genetic biologist who researched the ability of certain reptiles to regrow missing limbs, partially to find a way to regenerate his right arm. After a test on himself, he transforms into a violent lizard monster. Though able to revert to his human form, he suffers occasional fits of his alter ego breaking free. Curt Connors was played by Dylan Baker in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3. Rhys Ifans played Dr. Curtis Connors and his Lizard alter ego as the main antagonist in the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man. Curtis "Curt" Connors was born in Coral Gables, Florida. He was a gifted surgeon who enlisted in the U.S. Army. He performed emergency battlefield surgery on wounded GIs. However his right arm was terribly injured in a wartime blast, resulting in its amputation. After his return to civilian life as a research technologist, Connors became obsessed with uncovering the secrets of reptilian limb regeneration. Working from his home in the Florida Everglades with the help of war buddy Ted Sallis, he finally developed an experimental serum taken from reptilian DNA.

Political Theory in Popular Culture POSC 3421 Summer 2018 Professor Nicholas Tampio MTWR 6-9 Pm
Political Theory in Popular Culture POSC 3421 Summer 2018 Professor Nicholas Tampio MTWR 6-9 pm The Marvel Universe has provided the basis for several of the most popular movies of the past decade, including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther, as well as Netflix series about Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. Are these movies and shows teaching liberalism, conservatism, socialism, anarchism, fascism, multiculturalism, or something else entirely? How does the Marvel Universe reflect our time, and how does it express utopian and dystopian visions? Why are these movies and shows popular around the world—are they moden myths? In the first half of each class, the professor lectures on political ideologies— their histories, authors, arguments, books, and legacy. In the second half, students lead a discussion about how a figure in the Marvel Universe fits within a broader political/cultural conversation. We will watch parts of movies, Netflix shows, and discuss academic articles about the Marvel Universe and the Cold War, gender roles, patriotism, post-9/11 politics, black superheroes, and Muslim feminities and masculinities. It is serious course about political ideologies but also a fun opportunity to talk about the Marvel Universe.

ABSTRACT SHAEFFER, MATHEW TODD. with Great Power and Great
ABSTRACT SHAEFFER, MATHEW TODD. With Great Power and Great Responsibility: The Representation of America's Social Anxieties and Historical Events in The Amazing Spider- Man, 1962-1979. (Under the direction of committee Dr. David Zonderman). This thesis examines The Amazing Spider-Man comic series as a means to explore historical events and social anxieties during the 1960s and 1970s. Recently, superheroes have reclaimed a prominent place in American culture as superhero films are surging in popularity. Using The Amazing Spider-Man, I hope to highlight how superhero comic books are a valuable source for American cultural history and warrant serious scholarly research. To conduct my research, I looked at the scholarship on superhero comics, which has expanded greatly over the last few years, and conducted a close examination of Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962), which first introduces Spider-Man, and nearly 200 issues of The Amazing Spider-Man published from 1963 until 1979. I found that The Amazing Spider-Man comic series offers insight into American society and American values during the time period. I examine how The Amazing Spider-Man advocates the responsible use of science during the new Nuclear Age while also reflecting the dangers of new and unconstrained science. I study how the main character, Peter Parker, deals with social acceptance, general social anxieties, and finding his place in the world. I look at how the hero struggles with Cold War tensions, losing loved ones, seeing friends shipped off to war, social unrest, civil rights issues, student protests, political corruption, and much more. Finally, I look at how the perception of gender changes during the 1960s and 1970s by examining the evolution of both male and female gender values portrayed in the comic and how those values evolve over time.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.
