Media Industry Approaches to Comic-To-Live-Action Adaptations and Race
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.

Also for how calculated and cold he can be, as he doesn't mind some "collateral damage" in order to attain his goals. They all have the "noir" aspect where we hear the character's thoughts, and each character is completely bland and could easily be swapped out for another. We find out here Cancel Create Link. Red Hulk and Banner have failed, and their worst nightmares have come to kill them. The fact that this is Volume 6 might have something to do with why I found it incomprehensible.

Poets Speak Back to Hunger: an E-Collection of Poems from Around the World
Poets Speak Back to Hunger: An e-Collection of Poems from Around the World Hiram Larew Founder of Poetry X Hunger Co-Edited by Aaron R Foreword Poetry Speaks Back to Hunger! Yes -- and the poems in this first-of-its-kind collection prove it. The powerful poems you are about to read are a sample of what’s posted on the Poetry X Hunger website (www.PoetryXHunger.com). By showcasing them, we hope to make it easy for you to find and use a hunger poem. We especially hope that members of anti-hunger organizations, lawmakers, policy gurus, and community members – that any and all who are fighting hunger - will use this collection in classrooms, community meetings, religious services, newsletter and the like to Speak Back to Hunger. The collection also includes links to the recordings of many of the poets reading their poem. You’ll also discover poems by young and adult poets that focus on a wide array of hunger issues including food waste, hunger’s history, famine and malnutrition. Poems in Spanish and in the Cheyenne language are included. Hunger continues to ravage families and communities in the U.S. and overseas. Its face can be as horrific as famine, as demoralizing as persistent household food insecurity, or as heart-wrenching as childhood or adult malnourishment. Let’s be clear -– poetry will never end hunger and it will never replace the critical need for investments in programs that help us understand the causes of hunger, or that help address hunger through food assistance or research. All of these ongoing sources of hope are critical to the anti-hunger cause.

The Gospel According to Marvel
CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE PO Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Feature Article: JAF1383 THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARVEL by John McAteer This article first appeared in the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, volume 38, number 03 (2015). For further information or to subscribe to the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, go to: http://www.equip.org/christian-research-journal/. SYNOPSIS Over the past decade, there has been a revival of interest in comic book superheroes, driven in large part by the Disney-owned Marvel Comics brand, publishers of such characters as Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, and more. Every culture has had its own heroes, from Hercules to King Arthur to the Lone Ranger, but the phenomenal popularity of Marvel superheroes in recent years suggests that Marvel’s unique approach to envisioning heroism is, for better or worse, feeding some sort of spiritual hunger in American culture. In the 1960s, Marvel transformed the entire comic book industry by introducing heroes who were ordinary people that found themselves with unique abilities and struggled to overcome personal weaknesses to use those abilities for the benefit of those in need. Marvel’s attempt to ground their heroes in a more realistic world than other superheroes led to at least two questionable results. First, the Marvel universe tends to avoid genuinely supernatural phenomena, instead explaining unusual events in science fiction terms. Second, as popular culture has coarsened in the decades since the 1960s, Marvel’s flawed heroes have had to become more violent to maintain their apparent psychological realism. This means that comic books are now less appropriate for children than they were in the past.
