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.

His ego drove him to scour the globe for a miracle cure, but instead he found a mysterious wizard called the ANCIENT ONE who taught him magic and that there are things in this world bigger than himself. These lessons led Stephen to become the Sorcerer Supreme, Earth’s first defense against all manner of magical threats. His patients call him… The state of magic is slowly recovering (after its near extinction at the hands of the EMPIRIKUL), but Stephen Strange and his companions are still reeling from their latest encounter with Mr. Misery, a creature created from Strange’s own pain and suffering. Strange was able to defeat Misery by taking responsibility for, and ultimately re-absorbing, his own suffering. Zelma Stanton, a librarian from the Bronx, is stepping up to assist Strange as he attempts to discover the new rules and create balance in the fledgling magical network.

They lived isolated from human society until the reign of Black Bolt and Medusa. Now, the Inhuman race is known across the cosmos. But before that, there was the Unspoken—a king who eventually became so corrupt that Black Bolt ordered his name struck from the Inhuman history books. During the Unspoken’s reign, a slave race called Alpha Primitives maintained the city of Attilan. After a band of Primitives attempted to assassinate the king, a series of misunderstandings—and a corrupt viceroy, Kadlec the Seeker—led the king to suspect the young Black Bolt and Maximus of conspiring to steal the throne, even as the two brothers believe the king to be plotting their demise. When Kadlec subsequently branded Medusa a traitor, the three escaped with the help of an unusual Primitive named Elisha. Elisha brought the Royals to New York City and introduced them to scientist Bentley Wittman. Despite their seeming assistance, his and Elisha’s intentions remain clouded. And time is short. The king has sent Kadlec and the Royals’ cousin Karnak to return the Royals at any cost. Karnak left to search for his missing brother Triton, but Kadlec is hot on the teens’ trail. And the Royals are about to discover they’re not the only kids with super-powers running around New York… INHUMANS: ONCE & FUTURE KINGS Writer Artist Letterer CHRISTOPHER PRIEST PHIL NOTO VC’s JOE SABINO Cover Artists Variant Cover Artist NICK BRADSHAW & JIM CAMPBELL PHIL NOTO Logo Design Associate Editor Editor INHUMANS created by JAY BOWEN SARAH BRUNSTAD WIL MOSS STAN LEE & JACK KIRBY Executive Editor Editor in Chief Chief Creative Officer President Executive Producer TOM BREVOORT AXEL ALONSO JOE QUESADA DAN BUCKLEY ALAN FINE INHUMANS: ONCE AND FUTURE KINGS No.

  • Crip Kinship: a Political Strategy of People Who Were Deemed Contagious by the Shirtless Putin
    Crip Kinship: A Political Strategy of People Who Were Deemed Contagious by the Shirtless Putin Alexander Kondakov This article analyzes conditions in which contagious populations have found them- selves in Russia and reviews theories of queer/crip kinship from two perspectives: the theories developed in academic literature, and the conceptualization of queer/crip kinship that may be derived from everyday accounts of people. The latter position is shaped through an analysis of life history interviews with disabled people who identify on the LGBTIQ spectrum in Russia. The Russian context is different from many other geographical locations, but also relates to the more common condition of precar- ity shared under contemporary neoliberal capitalism. Crip kinship is understood as a prominent political strategy that brings new perspectives on our futurities outside of assemblages of oppression and exploitation that able-bodiedness, heterosexism, and misogyny provoke, sustain, and enforce. Keywords: crip / kinship / queer / Russia In 2013, the Russian state passed an Administrative Code statute declaring “non- traditional sexual relations” such as “male homosexual relations, bisexuality, and transgenderism” as contagious and prohibited any Form oF “dissemination” or “propaganda” about such “non-traditional relations.”1 The law implies that sexual relations oF this sort can be transmitted From one body to another and are danger- ous For children because they can plant “non-traditional sexual attitudes” in their psyche, “provoke interest into such relationship,” and make children queer, enlarg- ing the “diseased” population oF the Russian Federation (Federal Law 2013). Within this contagious framing, the law seeks to prevent Russian children from becoming queer, and, in doing so, positions queer liFe as disposable (Evans and Giroux 2015).
