Jim Cheung Penciler John Dell Inker Dan Slott Writer When science geek Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider, he was imbued with amazing abilities: the proportional strength and speed of a spider, adhesive fi ngertips and toes, and a precognitive awareness of danger called “spider-sense.” After inadvertently playing a part in the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that with great power there must also come great responsibility, and now fi ghts crime as the web-slinging, wall-crawling wonder called... MARY JANE! THE RETURN OF Recently, a pharmaceutical company called New U has been delivering medical miracles to willing test subjects who have been failed by standard medicine. But when one of their patients set off Peter Parker’s spider-sense, he decided that the situation warranted a closer look – as The Amazing Spider-Man! What Peter discovered was nothing short of a nightmare. New U was secretly being run by the Jackal, one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes. For months, he’s been using his technology to bring Spider-Man’s long lost friends, foes, and loved ones back from the dead! Why on Earth would he do that? Meanwhile, Kaine Parker, one of the Jackal’s very fi rst clones, has made an even more terrifying discovery – whatever the Jackal’s been doing at New U has happened on other Earths across the Multiverse, and on every one of them, the people who have received New U treatments have turned into infectious, zombie-like creatures called Carrions. Together, he and Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 developed a plan to stop the Jackal, and Gwen has been operating as a mole at New U for weeks. But when her cover was blown as a result of Spider-Man’s snooping, they had no choice but to run for their lives! THE NEW DAN SLOTT JIM CHEUNG JOHN DELL IRON WRITER PENCILER INKER SPIDER?!

His first act as Emperor was to order their combined forces to Earth to defeat their mutual enemy, the plantlike race known as the Cotati. Led by Quoi, the prophesied Celestial Messiah, and his father, the Swordsman, the Cotati plan to eliminate all animal life --starting with Earth. The united members of the Avengers and Fantastic Four have been defending the planet from the invading Cotati but were unable to stop them from planting the seeds for the Death Blossom. Once it blooms, the Cotati will have control of all plant life in the galaxy. Captain Marvel and the Human Torch teamed up with former Young Avenger Wiccan, who revealed he and Hulkling had recently married. He also exposed Emperor Hulking as R’Klll, the former Skrull empress, in disguise. But while Wiccan and his allies freed the true Hulkling from captivity, they were too late to stop R’Klll from activating the Pyre, a weapon that will end the threat of the Cotati forever--by detonating Earth’s sun! story Al Ewing & Dan Slott script Al Ewing artist Valerio Schiti color artist Marte Gracia letterer VC’s Joe Caramagna cover Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos variant covers Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos; Michael Cho; John Tyler Christopher; Tony Daniel & Frank D’Armata; Alexander Lozano & Wade von Grawbadger; Mike McKone & Morry Hollowell; Mike Mignola graphic designer Carlos Lao assistant editor Martin Biro associate editor Alanna Smith editor Tom Brevoort editor in chief C.B.

That said, there was also apparently a time jump in there that could've thrown me for a loop anyway. I still like the concept and I like that there are so many different approaches to it.

  • Reading the Uncanny Xmen: Gender, Race, and The
    READING THE UNCANNY X­MEN: GENDER, RACE, AND THE MUTANT METAPHOR IN A POPULAR NARRATIVE By Joseph James Darowski A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY American Studies 2011 ABSTRACT READING THE UNCANNY X­MEN: GENDER RACE AND THE MUTANT METAPHOR IN A POPULAR NARRATIVE By Joseph James Darowski The first superhero comic book was published in 1938 and since that time the genre has become a staple of American popular culture. While superhero stories have been adapted into every popular storytelling medium, the genre is most closely associated with the comic book industry. This dissertation examines the first 500 issues of The Uncanny X­Men, one of the most popular series to be published in America. In particular, the portrayals of race and gender will be analyzed by performing a close reading of the stories published as well as a numerical analysis of the ethnicity, nationality, and gender of the heroes, villains, and guest stars who appear in the series. The X‐Men comic book franchise has a reputation among fans, creators, and scholars as one of the most diverse and progressive superhero comic book titles. The core conceit of the series, that there are people called mutants who are born with powers and abilities that separate them from normal humans, has allowed the themes of societal prejudice and hatred to be explored in a metaphorical fashion, though looking closely at the race and gender of the characters in the series reveals a different reality than the common perception of the series.

  • Patriotism to Skepticism: Captain America and The
    PATRIOTISM TO SKEPTICISM: CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE CHANGING CULTURAL LANDSCAPE by BRANDI MONTANA HODO LUKE NIILER, COMMITTEE CHAIR FREDERICK WHITING STACY MORGAN A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 Copyright Brandi Montana Hodo 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Since the early 1930s, the genre of comic books have featured stories to amaze, to frighten, and to entertain readers. However, comic books are not just forms of entertainment, but cultural artifacts that mirror and, at times, analyze the attitudes of a particular period. In this thesis, I am using Captain America as a way to trace the changes in popular American culture, from the character’s inception in March of 1941 until the 2009 creation of a new Captain America. This study, using the framework of New Historicism, details the history of the character through the World War II, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Watergate Scandal, and the post- 9/11 eras. The purpose of this study is to see how the Captain’s attitudes and actions reflect those of his readers. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Luke Niiler for giving me a chance to write a thesis with a topic that is outside of the norm. Dr. Niiler has supported me in this endeavor from the first panic filled email to the final product and patiently listened to me blather on about comic books. I want to thank my other committee members, Dr.
