Review: Finally found what Im looking for in a comic. The way this story is written makes you feel like it could actually happen (provided demons were real). Brubaker is really good at placing you in the head of the main character. I would recommend this to anyone who is into dark, gritty fantasies set in the modern world. The plot reminds me of the anime...

It also contains 4 foldouts that highlight and exemplify her juicy, painterly reflective style of work. Even the dramatic front cover, which illustrates a NASA space shuttle, features a slide-open door to reveal details of the craft's interior. For example, I (name)am the kill of the kill.

    Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture Hulk Smash! September, 2020, Vol. 20 (Issue 1): pp. 28 - 42 Clevenger and Acquaviva Copyright © 2020 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture All rights reserved. ISSN: 1070-8286 Hulk Smash! Violence in The Incredible Hulk Comics Shelly Clevenger Sam Houston State University & Brittany L. Acquaviva Sam Houston State University 28 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture Hulk Smash! September, 2020, Vol. 20 (Issue 1): pp. 28 - 42 Clevenger and Acquaviva Abstract “Hulk smash!” is one of the most iconic phrases uttered in the pages of comic books. The Incredible Hulk is one of comics’ most violent characters as the Hulk smashes first and asks questions later. The popularity of the comic book genre has exploded within past decades and the interest in comics has increased. But exactly how violent is The Incredible Hulk and what does that mean for readers? This research examines the occurrence of violence in the Incredible Hulk comics through a thematic content analysis of 248 issues. Specifically, such themes as violence against men and women, unpunished violence, formal punishments of violence, interventions to stop violence and the justification provided for violence were assessed. The goal of the research was to determine the amount and level of violence within the comic and in what context it occurred. Results indicate that there is a large amount of violence occurring within the pages of the Incredible Hulk, but that this violence is often justified and committed by the Hulk to protect himself and others. A discussion is provided regarding the potential impact this may have on a reader and their view of violence, crime and justice.

  • Drug Narratives in Comic Books

    Drug Narratives in Comic Books

    “They say it’ll kill me…but they won’t say when!” Drug Narratives in Comic Books By Mark C. J. Stoddart University of British Columbia The mass media play an important role in constructing images of drug trafficking and use that circulate through society. For this project, discourse analysis was used to examine 52 comic books and graphic novels. Comic books reproduce a dominant discourse of negative drug use which focuses on hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine. These drug narratives set up a dichotomy between victimized drug users and predatory drug dealers. Drug users are depicted as victims who may be saved rather than criminalized. By contrast, drug dealers are constructed as villains who are subjected to the ritualized violence of comic book heroes. The construction of drug users and drug dealers is also marked by gendered, racialized, and class-based patterns of representation. Keywords : drugs; comic books; discourse analysis; cultural criminology INTRODUCTION For most of us, the mass media have provided a window on the social world beyond the confines of our daily lives. It is through the media that many of us have learned about spheres of social power and deviance with which we may have rarely come into direct contact. In the case of illicit drugs, many people’s understanding of drug users and drug trafficking has been shaped by both the factual accounts of news media, as well as the fictional accounts of film or television. For example, for those who are not members of the subcultural world of drug use, heroin use has been made imaginable through the Vancouver Sun’s coverage of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (Bohn, 2000; Kines, 1997; Sarti, 1992), or through films such as Trainspotting (Macdonald & Boyle, 1996) or The Basketball Diaries (Heller & Kalvert, 1995).

    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.

    Making Gay Sense of the X-Men William Earnest

    11-Brummett-45412.qxd 10/16/2007 3:01 PM Page 215 11 Making Gay Sense of the X-Men William Earnest idway through X2: X-Men United, young Bobby Drake and his fellow M mutants pay a surprise visit to his conservative, upper middle-class family. The scene depicts a rite of passage for many teenagers living in the mutant-fearing America of the film, announcing to your family that you’re one of “those” people—special, different, mutated. Because mutation is a pressing social issue in the X-Men’s world, the disclosure of one’s “mutancy” is not to be taken lightly. After all, it’s a condition that is misunderstood and feared by the general population. Mutants who go public risk everything from being rejected by family to political and social marginalization to physical violence. This scene will seem familiar to many audience members, particularly those who have been in such “guess-what?” meetings before. These moments happen all the time in our world and play out much like the Drake family’s drama. Our pressing social issue isn’t mutation, of course, but sexual difference. The rhetori- cal setting, however—the situation, the characters, and so on—is the same in the film as it is for us; it’s the rhetorical equivalent of a gay, lesbian, or bisexual teenager’s “coming out” ritual.1 Like most rhetorical genres, the coming out ritual tends to follow certain conventions, to look and to sound a certain way, and this one goes by the book (Hart 121–22).
