Curran rated it it was amazing. The Terminators want to cleanse galaxy of the vile filth of aliens, their mortal crime being: being alien. From the weirdly twisted and hugely detailed artwork to the constant invention going on with the story and world-building it comes across as some sort of demented stream of consciousness at times this is a great read. This book also gives the explanation for Torquemada's "grandfather" Nostradamus' words in the previous book about Termight ending in "a sea of fire and blood". Reading to reach some ultimate conclusion misunderstands the process, and mind you, reading is first and foremost a process. Labels: A. It's never actually established that Torquemada is an emperor or that he rules the empire. This was originally published at the end of and the beginning of in AD as Book Four of Nemesis. I played the old c64 game, and not until now got to read the adventures of one of my favourite AD characters. It's great stuff - adult, intelligent, witty and wise. Torquemada consolidates his power on Terra, though is affected by a curious malady, which is eventually revealed to be a plot by Thoth to punish Tomas further, by killing his former incarnations. This one starts with Nemesis relaxedly playing the demon mandolin and now we get into the Warlock homeworld proper. Quantity Add to basket. Paperback edition. It has been argued, with some considerable justification, that Nemesis lost its way towards the end of its run, but here both creators are firing on all cylinders.

In the developed comic, the concept was significantly reworked, and Nemesis became a parable of racial intolerance and genocide, drawing heavily upon the medieval Crusades, and introducing a strong sword and sorcery element.

Definitely worth a read, I think it's something that rewards those that actually give it the proper attention. The series began in , in prog of AD , with a story called Comic Rock "The Terror Tube", in which a freedom fighter called Nemesis escaped from Torquemada, the chief of the Tube Police, after a protracted chase through a complex travel-tube system on a planet called Termight, later revealed to be Earth "Mighty Terra". The series never got going, but did produce a second Nemesis story, a two-parter called "Killer Watt", in which Torquemada chased Nemesis through a bizarre teleport system based on telephone lines.

The considerably longer page count allowed not only for both character and world exploration, but also, despite still being set in the future, there's a slight but noticeable shift in g I've been a fan of AD for nearly ten years, but this was the first time that I checked out this popular character. That was a bit different. Can you imagine the boredom of being what you would call a god? Featured in this book are stories involving the great Alien Prison Jailbreak and the Termight's attack on the Gothic Empire featuring an alien species called the Goths, who have shapeshifted to look like humans and based their empire off Victorian England.

There is a bit of repetition and an over abundance of recapping but that's to The first few stories are a little patchy and the art work has so much going on it takes a bit of getting used to but once it finds its feet it's a very enjoyable world to explore. The story is very interesting, and most important of all, it was fun. Labels: A. To its credit, the struggle between the despotic Torquemada, ruler of the Termight Empire, and his scourge, the chaotic alien menace, Nemesis, seems to cycle through time and space, never drawing closer to any conclusion as the participants change bodies, yet remain in spirit immanent and despicable in turn.

Moreover, the story this time is about the empire of Goths, chameleon aliens that picked up the radio signals sent from Earth in the early s and loved them so much, that they've built themselves an alien clone of early 20th century British Empire!

While the opening prologue chapters were ok, allowing for a little bit of science fiction, satire and of course, thrills, it really kicks off with book 1.

The second line of the narrative is dealing with Nemesis returning from his homeworld to continue the war with humans on a world with a giant tree while having no idea about the fate of his spouse and progeny.

While some complain about O'Neill leaving by Book IV, I really thought Talbot's work suited the story arch well, in all its steampunk madness.

  • Superman: What Makes Him So Iconic?
    SUPERMAN: WHAT MAKES HIM SO ICONIC? Superman: What makes him so Iconic? Myriam Demers-Olivier George Brown College © 2009, Myriam Demers-Olivier SUPERMAN: WHAT MAKES HIM SO ICONIC? Introduction “Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman! “ (Daniels, 1998, p. 1-7). Some people might not recognize the reference to early radio shows and cartoons, but most people will recognize the name Superman. Superman has become such an amazing cultural icon, that almost everyone knows his name, and often his weakness, his powers, the colors of his suit and the name of his arch nemesis. It’s part of common knowledge and everyone has been exposed to him at some time or another. Since the creation of Superman in 1938, comic book research and literary studies have come along way. These allows us to more deeply analyze and understand, as well as unravel the deeper signified meanings associated with the iconic Superman (Wandtke, 2007, p. 25). He is seen as a superhero, but also upholds “truth, justice and the American way” (Watt-Evans, 2006, p. 1). Some see him as Christ-like or Jewish, and even as a fascist. He fulfills some of our needs from the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and also expresses different messages depending on the medium in which he is portrayed. There is no end to the Superman merchandise, but Superman as an icon, can change a person.

  • Avengers Dissemble! Transmedia Superhero Franchises and Cultic Management
    Taylor 1 Avengers dissemble! Transmedia superhero franchises and cultic management Aaron Taylor, University of Lethbridge Abstract Through a case study of The Avengers (2012) and other recently adapted Marvel Entertainment properties, it will be demonstrated that the reimagined, rebooted and serialized intermedial text is fundamentally fan oriented: a deliberately structured and marketed invitation to certain niche audiences to engage in comparative activities. That is, its preferred spectators are often those opinionated and outspoken fan cultures whose familiarity with the texts is addressed and whose influence within a more dispersed film- going community is acknowledged, courted and potentially colonized. These superhero franchises – neither remakes nor adaptations in the familiar sense – are also paradigmatic byproducts of an adaptive management system that is possible through the appropriation of the economics of continuity and the co-option of online cultic networking. In short, blockbuster intermediality is not only indicative of the economics of post-literary adaptation, but it also exemplifies a corporate strategy that aims for the strategic co- option of potentially unruly niche audiences. Keywords Marvel Comics superheroes post-cinematic adaptations Taylor 2 fandom transmedia cult cinema It is possible to identify a number of recent corporate trends that represent a paradigmatic shift in Hollywood’s attitudes towards and manufacturing of big budget adaptations. These contemporary blockbusters exemplify the new industrial logic of transmedia franchises – serially produced films with a shared diegetic universe that can extend within and beyond the cinematic medium into correlated media texts. Consequently, the narrative comprehension of single entries within such franchises requires an increasing degree of media literacy or at least a residual awareness of the intended interrelations between correlated media products.

Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that a hegemonic American model of militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products. I consider the locations of narrative ambiguities in two key comics texts, The Ultimates (2002-2007) and The New Avengers (2005-2012), as well as in the film The Avengers (2012), and demonstrate the significant reorientation of the film franchise towards the American military’s “War on Terror”. While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful.
