    MEDIA KIT BREAKING NEWS Rockville, MD August 19, 2019 THE BOYS by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson Coming to GraphicAudio® A Movie in Your Mind® in Early 2020 GraphicAudio® is thrilled to announce a just inked deal with DYNAMITE COMICS to produce and publish all 6 Omnibus Volumes of THE BOYS directly from the comics and scripted and produced in their unique audio entertainment format. The creative team at GraphicAudio® plans to make the adaptations as faithful as possible to the Graphic Novel series. The series is set between 2006–2008 in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the su- perheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. The story follows a small clandestine CIA squad, informally known as "The Boys", led by Butcher and also consisting of Mother's Milk, the French- man, the Female, and new addition "Wee" Hughie Campbell, who are charged with monitoring the superhero community, often leading to gruesome confrontations and dreadful results; in parallel, a key subplot follows Annie "Starlight" January, a young and naive superhero who joins the Seven, the most prestigious– and corrupted – superhero group in the world and The Boys' most powerful enemies. Amazon Prime released THE BOYS Season 1 last month. Joseph Rybandt, Executive Editor of Dynamite and Editor of The Boys says, “While I did not grow up anywhere near the Golden Age of Radio, I have loved the medium of radio and audio dramas almost my entire life. Podcasts make my commute bearable to this day.

  • Rune Warriors: Shield of Odin James Jennewein & Tom S. Parker
    Rune Warriors: Shield of Odin James Jennewein & Tom S. Parker Reviewed by: Enzo Takagi, 16 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity www.bethestaryouare.org This book was very entertaining and funny. I would recommend it for mostly boys because it contains flatulence jokes and other humor along those lines. There is also reference to alcohol consumption and much violence. This book is recommended either as a gift or a book to be borrowed from the library. I liked the humor and the plentiful action a lot, and there were interesting references to Vikings and Norse mythology. The protagonist is Dane, a young man who has recently gone on his first hunt, a rite of passage. The very beginning of the book is about Dane growing up and the influences on his, as well as the love and care given to him. However, the story takes a turn after that. There is an evil king named Thidrek who likes to execute people and rule them by fear. He obviously is not liked by his people, and everyone is afraid of him. In Dane's village, there is an annual competition for Viking sports like axe throwing and archery. One year, Thidrek comes to this celebration and humiliates Dane's father and the rest of the village as well. Then things get worse. Dane's girlfriend, Astrid is kidnapped by Thidrek, and his village is razed to the ground and many people are killed. Dane's father is killed, and the Shield of Odin is stolen. This shield is given from Odin, the Norse god of tactics, and this shield blocks all attacks to the holder.

    From Serials to Blockbusters: Media Industry Approaches to Comic-to-Live-Action Adaptations and Race by Kathryn M. Frank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Lisa A. Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar © Kathryn M. Frank 2015 “I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.” ― Edward W. Said, Palestine For Mom and Dad, who taught me to be my own hero ii Acknowledgements There are so many people without whom this project would never have been possible. First and foremost, my parents, Paul and MaryAnn Frank, who never blinked when I told them I wanted to move half way across the country to read comic books for a living. Their unending support has taken many forms, from late-night pep talks and airport pick-ups to rides to Comic-Con at 3 am and listening to a comics nerd blather on for hours about why Man of Steel was so terrible. I could never hope to repay the patience, love, and trust they have given me throughout the years, but hopefully fewer midnight conversations about my dissertation will be a good start. Amanda Lotz has shown unwavering interest and support for me and for my work since before we were formally advisor and advisee, and her insight, feedback, and attention to detail kept me invested in my own work, even in times when my resolve to continue writing was flagging.
