As low as hes ever been, can he really rise to the challenge Landau, Luckman, and Lake have set up for him? Deadpool Classic 3 covers some of the earliest solo comics by the Merc with the mouth. First, the series could never get a steady artist. The drawings therefore are all over the place from very basic to a bit overblown. These initial issues were never really known for the drawings anyway.Sadly the stories are all over the place like the art. In fact issue #11 is a real low point. Deadpool travels through time and inserts himself into Spider-Man #47. The comic is utterly boring. It’s almost all dialogue between Peter Parker and his friends. Eventually Kraven appears but the action take so long to develop there’s no payoff. It is by far the worst Deadpool ever. To complete the circle they included the original Spider- Man at the end.In the bigger picture there are four main themes going on. First, Pool just broke up with Typhoid Mary, but she’s still haunting him. Second, Landau, Luckman & Lake agent Zoe Culloden is observing and attempting to coach Wade Wilson into being a better person so he can play a role in an intergalactic phenomenon. Third, Deadpool’s nemesis T-Ray is still trying to torture and humiliate him. Finally, the completely demented and really sick relationship between Blind Al and Deadpool continues. In these early comics Al was actually a prisoner of Wilson, and when he gets mad he locks her up in a room full of glass, chains and various hanging weapons so she can’t move without being hurt. This was a sick and deranged element of the early comics, which I could have really done without.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

We reviewed retrospectively bone marrow harvests in 216 healthy donors during a ten-year period to determine the use of autologous blood. All donors except four had undergone PAD. The initial hemoglobin level of 153 g/L (male donors) and 135 g/L (female donors), respectively, decreased by about 8 g/L after preoperative blood donation and by 23 g/L after bone marrow harvest (medians). Autologous blood was administered to 70% of donors, 30% of the units remained unused. The evaluation of the risk of reaching transfusion threshold (<115 g/L males, <105 g/L females) revealed that donors with initial hemoglobin above 145 g/L and those weighing above 75 kg have minimal risk of requiring blood substitution (about 10%). A larger volume of bone marrow was obtained Citation: Lysák, D.; Hejretová, L.; from male compared to female donors (1300 vs.

    "Does Science Advance One Funeral at a Time?" Azoulay, Pierre, Christian Fons-Rosen, and Joshua S. Graff Zivin. American Economic Review, Vol. 109, No. 8 (2889-2920). DOI: 10.1257/aer.20161574 Does Science Advance One Funeral at a Time? By Pierre Azoulay, Christian Fons-Rosen, and Joshua S. Graff Zivin∗ We examine how the premature death of eminent life scientists alters the vitality of their fields. While the flow of articles by col- laborators into affected fields decreases after the death of a star sci- entist, the flow of articles by non-collaborators increases markedly. This surge in contributions from outsiders draws upon a different scientific corpus and is disproportionately likely to be highly cited. While outsiders appear reluctant to challenge leadership within a field when the star is alive, the loss of a luminary provides an op- portunity for fields to evolve in new directions that advance the frontier of knowledge. JEL: I23, J24, O31. Keywords: economics of science, scientific fields, superstars, in- visible college, cumulative knowledge production. \A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." Max Planck Scientific Autobiography and Other Papers Whether manna from heaven or the result of the purposeful application of research and development, technological advances play a foundational role in all modern theories of economic growth (Solow 1957, Romer 1990, Aghion and Howitt 1992).

Burch Laura Johnsen State University of New York at Oswego Binghamton University, State University of New York We examined the visualization of male and female superheroes, paying attention to physical dimensions and costuming that accentuated hyper-masculine or hyper- feminine features such as shoulder-to-waist ratio, jawlines, upper body muscularity, waist-to-hip ratio, and breast morphology. Body mass index (BMI) data were collected for 3,752 Marvel comic characters. Males were on average “obese” whereas females averaged at the low end of normal weight. The male higher body mass was caused by extreme upper body muscularity, with male shoulder-to-waist ratios far above human limits. This is in stark contrast to low weight female superhero bodies with far lower waist-to-hip ratios than average humans. The endocrine markers that are exaggerated in these depictions create supernormal sexual stimuli for each sex. Public Significance Statement An examination of over 3,000 comic book characters and hundreds of drawings found that male characters were huge and well beyond the normal range for shoulder-to-waist ratio, resembling and exaggerating the Captain Dorito meme (the concept that Captain America, as played by Chris Evans, has the shoulder-to-waist ratio of a triangular Dorito corn chip).

  • Real-Life Radioactive Men: the Advantages and Disadvantages of Radiation Exposure
    TU DELFT OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL NOVEMBER 2018 SUPERHERO SCIENCE + TECHNOLOGY DOI: 10.24413/SST.2018.1.2928 REAL-LIFE RADIOACTIVE MEN: THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF RADIATION EXPOSURE JIM O’DOHERTY1,2, * BRUNO ROJAS-FISHER3 AND SOPHIE O’DOHERTY4 1 Department of Molecular Imaging, Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar 2 Weill Cornell Medical College Qatar, Education City, Doha, Qatar 3 Joint Departments of Physics, Royal Marsden Hospital & Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, United Kingdom 4 Imaging Facility, EVMC, Qatar Foundation, Doha, Qatar Received: 9th October 2018 // Revised: 19th October 2018 // Published online: 23rd November 2018 * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT A common perception in modern society is that exposure to any amount of radiation is a bad thing and should be avoided at all costs. In the fictional superhero genre, exposure to radiation has been used as a vehicle to enable superpowers in what were previously ordinary humans. For instance, Dr Chen Lu, a Nuclear Physicist otherwise known as Radioactive Man, exposed himself to increasing amounts of radiation until he could endure a massive barrage, and in the process turned himself into Radioactive Man. In a similar fashion, Bruce Banner was exposed to a large amount of gamma radiation, giving him the superpowers of the Incredible Hulk. Although there is an element of truth in that the body can withstand low levels of radiation without any observable effects, there are many harmful side effects of being exposed to high levels of radiation. These harmful side effects form the underlying fear of the general publics’ understanding of radiation exposure. This article will explore in detail the reasoning behind the principles of radiation safety, and how different types of damage are caused to the human body when exposed to radiation.
