  • {Download PDF} Eternal Warrior: Eternal Emperor Volume 2: Eternal
    ETERNAL WARRIOR: ETERNAL EMPEROR VOLUME 2: ETERNAL EMPEROR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Diego Bernard,Robert Gill,Greg Pak | 112 pages | 08 Jul 2014 | Valiant Entertainment | 9781939346292 | English | New York, United States Eternal Warrior Vol 2 | Valiant Comics Database | Fandom It is bar none, the best Eternal Warrior story ever told. He has been trying to reach this point for so long, it is effectively heartbreaking to see it stripped from him as the story progresses. Pak has scripted a cinematic experience; a Mad Max by way of The Lord of The Rings that kicks off with a scene very reminiscent of the beginning to Princess Mononoke. That is to say, it is instantly alluring, begging you to explore this unfamiliar setting with a Gilad that is twenty times more likable than his more rage-driven, conflicted younger self. At its heart, Eternal Emperor is a quest of reflection and acceptance that Pak has operatically structured. After a mechanical beast attacks his small village community, resulting in exposing all who dwell there to fatal levels of radiation, Gilad and his granddaughter, Caroline who was exposed as well , venture forth in search of medication. We follow our protagonists from one place to another, unraveling the mystery of what this world is and how it came to be, as it plays out like a fairy tale a horrifically violent one, sure or more accurately, The Wizard of Oz. These four issues are poetic in their simple, straightforward presentation of a formidable grandfather-granddaughter tandem moving from point to point to accomplish their stated objective, meeting allies and foes along the way, but ruminating under the surface until the very end is the ultimate futility of their quest, and what it means to come to peace with it.

THE ALUMINUM AGE: POSTMODERN THEMES IN AMERICAN COMICS CIRCA 1985- 2018 by AMY COLLERTON Under the Direction of John McMillian, PhD ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to update the fan-made system of organization for comic book history. Because academia ignored comics for much of their history, fans of the medium were forced to design their own system of historical organization. Over time, this system of ages was adopted not only by the larger industry, but also by scholars. However, the system has not been modified to make room for comics published in the 21st century. Through the analysis of a selection modern comics, including Marvel’s Civil War and DC Comics’ Infinite Crisis, this thesis suggests a continuation of the age system, the Aluminum Age (2001-the present). Comics published during the Aluminum Age incorporate Postmodern themes and are unique to the historical context in which they were published.

  • American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and the New Deal a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the College of Arts
    American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Lawrence W. Beemer June 2011 © 2011 Lawrence W. Beemer. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal by LAWRENCE W. BEEMER has been approved for the English Department of Ohio University and the College of Arts and Sciences by ______________________________ Robert Miklitsch Professor of English ______________________________ Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BEEMER, LAWRENCE W., Ph.D., June 2011, English American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal (204 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Robert Miklitsch Coining the term "fractal narrative," this dissertation examines the complex storytelling structure that is particular to contemporary American superhero comics. Whereas other mediums most often require narrative to function as self-contained and linear, individual superhero comics exist within a vast and intricate continuity that is composed of an indeterminate number of intersecting threads. Identical to fractals, the complex geometry of the narrative structure found in superhero comics when taken as a whole is constructed by the perpetual iteration of a single motif that was established at the genre's point of origin in Action Comics #1. The first appearance of Superman institutes all of the features and rhetorical elements that define the genre, but it also encodes it with the specific ideology of The New Deal era. In order to examine this fractal narrative structure, this dissertation traces historical developments over the last seven decades and offers a close reading Marvel Comics' 2006 cross-over event, Civil War.

DEDICATED TO: Friday, August 30, 1974 Thursday, October 3, 1974 Saturday, August 30, 1980 and most of all, to Friday, April 9, 1982 INTRODUCTION: The Days of Futures Passed This idea for this book came in the year HAL wasn’t born, Skynet didn’t attempt to destroy the human race, and worst of all, the Jupiter II wasn’t launched. All things considered, the real world’s version of the year 1997 was a pale imitation of the momentous year chronicled by many science fiction stories, books, and media. Of course, science fiction has taken it on the chin from reality before. The atom bomb was first used in war on August 6, 1945 — not the 1960’s, as H.G. Wells had told us. On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin in Vostok I — and not Richard Seaton in The Skylark of Space — became the first man in space. Armstrong and Aldrin made the first footprints on the Moon on July 21, 1969 — not Cavor and Bedford, nor even Leslie LeCroix. The closest that the world of 1984 came to universal totalitarianism was Apple Computer’s Superbowl commercial. In 1990, the United States and Russia fought a long-awaited war in the Persian Gulf — but incredibly, almost insultingly, they were on the same side.
