No one seems to really get hurt. That young hero died, and now the original Man of Steel is ready to step forward and replace him. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes superman comic books. The artwork was good, but this might be one of the first titles that I really enjoyed the storyline. I wouldn't probably read this book again just because it wasn't my favorite. I'm torn between 2 stars and 3, but I guess I'll give it three because I didn't end up really disliking it, for some reason. I did my homework and read it all so it was fairly easy to follow. Despite that and the weak story, the artwork is top notch, and the fight scenes are well done, plus theirs a side story with Luthor that I liked! That's what Superman aims to find out. Dude also mysteriously appeared at the end of Detective Comics. And what's with generic Jon? This Superman is married to a Lois and has a son named Jon. It doesn't help that the entire book revolves around a tired smash 'em up of a story featuring Doomsday that doesn't really go anywhere or contribute anything.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • Reading the Uncanny Xmen: Gender, Race, and The
    READING THE UNCANNY X­MEN: GENDER, RACE, AND THE MUTANT METAPHOR IN A POPULAR NARRATIVE By Joseph James Darowski A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY American Studies 2011 ABSTRACT READING THE UNCANNY X­MEN: GENDER RACE AND THE MUTANT METAPHOR IN A POPULAR NARRATIVE By Joseph James Darowski The first superhero comic book was published in 1938 and since that time the genre has become a staple of American popular culture. While superhero stories have been adapted into every popular storytelling medium, the genre is most closely associated with the comic book industry. This dissertation examines the first 500 issues of The Uncanny X­Men, one of the most popular series to be published in America. In particular, the portrayals of race and gender will be analyzed by performing a close reading of the stories published as well as a numerical analysis of the ethnicity, nationality, and gender of the heroes, villains, and guest stars who appear in the series. The X‐Men comic book franchise has a reputation among fans, creators, and scholars as one of the most diverse and progressive superhero comic book titles. The core conceit of the series, that there are people called mutants who are born with powers and abilities that separate them from normal humans, has allowed the themes of societal prejudice and hatred to be explored in a metaphorical fashion, though looking closely at the race and gender of the characters in the series reveals a different reality than the common perception of the series.
