Blue Beetle's Adventures in the New 52By Walter Gabrielsen IIIThis is the collected volume of Blue Beetle's (Jaime Reyes) big adventures in the new 52 comics (issues 7 to 16, and also the special issue 0 -- which tells the backstory of the scarab).You get the same number of pages as in the individual issues but all together at once, and there are several story arcs here to read though, about 1 per issue. On the first page of each story is a caption title as if it were a TV episode.The art is sharp, clear, and detailed for most of the book, except I notice that the first page of issue 0 is slightly blocky and pixelated. Fortunately it's mostly minor and just for 1 page, and it's mostly a splash page, so you can squint to help hide the blockiness and enjoy the scene (the captions aren't blocky).I've another art comment about the tacked-on story, at the end of the book, that leads into the Threshold adventure. The art style changes and unarmored Jaime Reyes starts looking ugly: He gets a huge nose that he didn't have in earlier issues and then his features change from panel to panel (This is only a sneak preview of a visual identity crisis that will befall poor Blue Beetle in the actual Threshold comic -- inconsistent graphics).This collected volume separates the gap between issues with the original color cover on one side but without the title decoration and text overlay. Sometimes this is followed by an empty, solid-filled page of black color on the other side to fill out the book. This is different than in the first collected volume, "Blue Beetle Vol. 1: Metamorphosis (The New 52)," where there was a black and white version of the issue cover on the other side of the page.Also, unlike the first Collected volume, there isn't any character art or extra features in the back of the book. It would be sad to think that they have already started to loose, or just don't have more of, the bonus material for this character.I noticed that some of the captions, specifically the informational hints about DC lore and also the comic crossover notes from the individual issues were removed from the pages of this book. I think that missing some explanations and background information takes away from the experience of casual readers who don't know about DC lore, and I'm one of them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Blue Beetle Is Fun and InsightfulBy Josh MathenyIt really is a shame they cancelled this series, it was so full of promise. Jaime Reyes is a great character that even a 29 year old man such as myself can really get into.The only problem I had with this is that one minute Blue Beetle is in NYC and then the very next issue he's in Outer Space.Yes, they tell why he's there and it's all explained but I would have rather that "2 Page Explanation" have been drawn out into possibly two issues. But then again, I'm always wanting more Blue Beetle anyway.If you haven't read the first Volume, read it first.Otherwise, Blue Beetle is fun, comical, powerful, insightful, interesting, and above all else he is easy to relate to.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. New Blue Beetle quite worthwhileBy Linux NerdIt's nice to see El Paso represented. Quite often, the use of Spanglish Spanish slang is point on and adds to the believability of the character. However, the character does say some things that are a little implausible for a Spanish speaker from the Texas / Mexico border. Hint - the character uses the term 'Chicano' as someone from the older generation (or up north) might. All in all, its an awesome comic with a cool character - that doesn't seem to rely on stereotypes or othering. Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes has abandoned his friends, family and home, setting out on a path that brings him to New York City. As Beetle struggles with the curse of the scarab that is the source of his powers, a loathsome threat emerges - a predator who stalks runaway children!

  • Charles Williams” Tells Story of Pencils, Empowerment, Despair David S
    February 26, 2020 Review: Contemporary’s “Charles Williams” Tells Story of Pencils, Empowerment, Despair David S. Cohen Curator Phillip March Jones has assembled a glorious cacophony of works in the must-see survey show The Life and Death of Charles Williams at Atlanta Contemporary through April 19. Immediately, a jaunty papier- mâché Pencil Rocket beckons us into the clean, roomy, white gallery space. Both phallic and fabulous, the giant pencil tilts provocatively upward, driven by salvaged fan blades. It’s a whirligig, an optimistic signpost, pointing the way into the jumbled world of Charles A gallery view of “The Life and Death of Charles Williams” at Atlanta Contemporary through April 19. The self-taught Kentucky-born artist (1942-1998) largely made work inspired by movie and Williams’ obsessive creativity. comic-book superheroes. (Photo by Kasey Medlin) Yet it is also a fragile object, restrained and contained, cut off from exuberant flight by the necessity of the curator’s protective glass. It is a fitting microcosm of the show: a tale of creation and transformation, elevation and energy, pencils and power, joy and death — all clinically removed from their natural environment and in the end, all too perishable. This biographical show makes it hard to separate the work from the context in which it was created. Born in 1942 to a Kentucky coal-mining family in the rural hollow of Blue Diamond, Williams had an early fascination with pop culture. He went to the segregated local movie theater whenever possible to see action stars like Superman, Batman, Tarzan, Red Ryder and Wild Bill Elliott.

  • Costume Culture: Visual Rhetoric, Iconography, and Tokenism In
    COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies Texas A&M University-Commerce in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2017 COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.
