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.

    EEN VERHAAL UIT HET MARVEL-UNIVERSUM STEFAN PETRUCHA VERTAALD DOOR BAREND DE VOOGD EEN PETER PARKER spreidde zijn vingers en greep het einde van de dikke draad die uit de webschieter aan zijn pols tevoorschijn schoot. De draad trok strak en hij vloog in een sierlijke boog door de lucht. New York vervaagde. Hoewel de dood van zijn oom in het begin de motivatie was geweest, was er nóg een belangrijke reden waarom Peter als Spider-Man de misdaad bestreed. Hij híéld hiervan. Slingeren en duiken, springen en je vastklampen, van vlaggenmast naar flatgebouw, kruipen langs muren – het voelde allemaal goed. Doen alsof hij een gewone jongen was, gaf hem echter het gevoel te moeten rennen met loden schoenen. et was niet dat hij zich als Spidey meer zichzelf voelde; het voelde alsof hij meer zichzelf mócht zijn. Maar vanavond wogen zijn geldzorgen zo zwaar dat hij zelfs niet kon genieten van deze wilde, wervelende achtbaanrit. Ondanks het scherpe verstand dat de webvloeistof en de webschieters had voortgebracht – ondanks de toenemende kracht, snelheid en lenigheid die hij gekregen had toen een radioactieve spin hem beet op school – bleef Spider-Man tobben over alle dingen die hij níét kon. Ongelofelijk: ik heb mijn scooter verkocht en kan me nog steeds geen goedkoop bioscoopkaartje veroorloven! Of boeken. Of eten. Om van de huur maar te zwijgen. Hij liet los op het hoogste punt van de slingerbeweging, voelde zich kort door de lucht vliegen en landde toen op het witstenen oppervlak van een vooroorlogs gebouw. Als het water niet bij de huur was inbegrepen, zou ik nog van uitdroging omkomen.

  • The Devil Is in the Details: Examining Matt Murdock and Daredevil
    The Devil is in the Details: Examining Matt Murdock and Daredevil This book from Sequart Research & Literacy Organization, edited by Ryan K Lindsay, collects essays about Marvel ’s Daredevil from some of today ’s best writers about comics. It is slated to be published in early 2013, Diamond order codes will be made available once solicited. Created in 1964, Matt Murdock has a long and storied history which this book unpacks and discusses through a variety of concepts covered over decades of comics. This book is the definitive guide to Daredevil and his entire world. ‘Daredevil ’s Origin ’ by Will Murray discusses how Marvel came to publish a character named Daredevil. ‘Daredevil : Not Ready for Primetime? ’ by M.S. Wilson discusses how Daredevil works better as a character on his own rather than integrated with others. ‘Daredevil and the Missing Father ’ by Forrest Helvie delves into the concept of fatherhood in Daredevil ’s creation. ‘Grabbing the Devil by the Horns ’ by Matt Duarte looks at the early rogues of Daredevil ’s crime fighting days. ‘Being Mike Murdock ’ by Tim Callahan is an interesting take on the imaginary brother Mike Murdock. ‘The Life and Times of Foggy Nelson ’ by Christine Hanefalk deconstructs the life of Matt Murdock ’s best friend. ‘When Things Fall Apart in Hell's Kitchen: Postcolonialism in Bendis's Daredevil ’ by Jon Cormier is an educational look at the role the location plays in the book. ‘There Will be Blood: Daredevil ’s Violent Tendencies ’ by Henry Northmore considers the effects of Daredevil ’s violent adversaries. ‘Science Fact! ’ by St éphane Gu éret, Manuella Hyvard, Nicolas Labarre, and Marie-Laure Saulnier considers the realistic possibilities of Matt Murdock ’s unique medical situation.

  • Daredevil and the Ani-Men Were Sent Back to Prison (See Daredevil)
    ANI-MEN Villain Team The Ani-Men are an organization of superhuman criminals who each have an animal theme to their identities and powers. While they have operated on their own from time to time, the Ani-Men appear to be content to hire themselves out as superhuman muscle for other criminals. The Ani-Men were all serving prison sentences for various crimes when they were given the option of undergoing scientific experiments in exchange for early parole. This experimentation was performed for the benefit of Wilson Fisk, the self-proclaimed Kingpin of Crime, although the test subjects were never informed who was funding the lab (see Kingpin). Upon discovering that the experiments were to be APE-MAN BIRD-MAN (Gordon Keefer) (Henry Hawk) "terminated" and the test subjects "disposed of", the five test subjects Founding Member Founding Member broke free and escaped the lab to discover themselves underneath Hell's Kitchen. At first, the Ani-Men tried to take over one of the gangs in Hell's Kitchen, but this was foiled by Daredevil and the Ani-Men were sent back to prison (see Daredevil). Some time later, the Ani-Men had either escaped or were freed from prison to become employees of the superhuman criminal called the Owl in his attempt to unseat the Kingpin (see Owl). During this altercation, they came into conflict with both Daredevil and the Kingpin's newest enforcer, Elektra, but escaped (see Elektra).
