From Reader Review Falling Skies for online ebook Andrienne says Falling Skies reminded me of "War of the Worlds." It had a dad and his children running for their lives from aliens. It had a good pace, interesting characters, and good action sequences. It held my attention especially regarding the mystery surrounding the kids being taken and harnessed. Denise says I've been marathon re-watching Falling Skies over the past few days and figured I'd have a look whether there might be something readable available as well. The prequel comic was a nice addition to the TV series, written in the form of Tom's journal and giving some background into how Ben was captured, the Masons meeting Anne etc. and joining up with the 2nd Mass. Xulieta NeveraDeLibros says Today I will talk a bit about the comic "Falling skies" base on the summer tv series with the same name in which you can see a world where the aliens have come to the earth and not in peace. When I saw that you could ask on NetGalley to read the eComic I did not hesitate it because at that moment I had been metally captured for the first three episodes of the Tv series where Tom, a resident of Boston, has to struggle to survive and protect his three sons. The comic is a prequel to the Tv series and shows how some of the characters that are part of the militia have come to this. I wish they had explained how the aliens came to earth and began to kill people as well as why they abduct young children. I guess I will not be displayed at any time how it all started but I hope at least to find out why the skitters and mechs (two aliens species) put on the spine of children a kind of nasty bug-alien. Tom and Anne About the characterization I have to say I love how the artist has captured the real actors in the frames. They are very similiar to real life! and I think this is an amazing work! In short, a comic that despited the lack of explanations for the arrival of the aliens, deservers to be read. A simple writing and bearable plus the story told from the viewpoint of our hero Tom will make you want to know if they will survive and reach their goals or die trying... Terry says PDF File: Falling Skies... 3 Read and Download Ebook Falling Skies... This prequel to TNT’s alien invasion TV series follows history professor Tom Mason and his three sons through postapocalyptic Boston. After the death of his wife, Mason believes hiding is key to survival—a strategy that fails when one of his sons is taken by the aliens. Picking up an AK-47, Mason joins a militia and meets pediatrician–turned–field medic Anne Glass. Tobin (Spider-Girl) exceeds media tie-in expectations, giving readers a thrilling look at the months after the initial attack. Mason’s narration never overwhelms the action and shows how he struggles with being a father, an educator, and a soldier. Ferreyra (Rex Mundi) drafts dynamic action scenes and captures the likenesses of actors Noah Wyle (Mason) and Moon Bloodgood (Glass) without falling into lifeless realism. Sketches in the back matter demonstrate his process. Verdict: Falling Skies is a hit on television (having Steven Spielberg’s name attached helps), so there’s a built-in audience for this book. Also, while the majority of the book collects a web comic available freely online, it also contains a story previously available only at the most recent New York Comic Con. [Xpress Reviews—First Look at New Books, March 2, 2012] Hillingdon Libraries says Find this book at Hillingdon Libraries Melissa says I love the TV show, which is the reason I wanted to get the comic. I guess I just figured where it was a TV show first, the comic would follow the exact same story line as the TV show. It has the same characters and the same idea of creating the 2nd mass to win the war against the aliens, but they go about what happens differently than the TV show. This isn’t really a bad thing. At least this way you don’t know what exactly will happen because the TV show doesn’t ruin it. It isn't like this was the best comic ever, but in all it the comic book was pretty good. It kept me interested and it was a nice short read at 92 pages. The drawings are well done with color and detail and they do a good job of making the drawings look like the actors in the show. Katie says I had no idea that there was a television show with the same name (I suppose that comes from not having cable). BUT – this graphic novel has convinced me that I am missing out on some possibly spectacular programming, and I will need to watch the show in the future. I love that the aliens are actually intelligent and have observed humans and understand our weakness and effective warfare tactics against us. Booby trapping grocery stores is just brilliant. There is something about Falling Skies that reminds me a lot of Stephen King. I’m not sure what it is…maybe I’m drawing a parallel between Falling Skies and The Mist. It’s not an unfavorable comparison in my opinion. They have similar ambiances. The artwork doesn’t really do anything for me – it’s all a bit muddy and thankfully the story carries the day. I think that the character Walker really looks like Murdock from the A-Team, and so every time I look at him PDF File: Falling Skies... 4 Read and Download Ebook Falling Skies... in this graphic novel I think of Murdock (who was and is my favorite member of the A-Team). I really enjoyed this graphic novel, and I think that if you are a fan of the show, like alien stories, or enjoy stories of apocalyptic times, this could very well be a great pick for you. ARC provided by NetGalley usagi ?? says Okay, I’ll admit it – I’ve had a real hankering to see “Falling Skies” since the ads started in movie theatres late in December. I still have another two weeks to wait to see Dreamworks Television’s debut series, but until then, I have this prequel comic to tide me over. In this first volume we see what happens immediately the Skitterers come from the skies and pretty much destroy everything that humanity’s built over the last 100,000 or so years. We see it from the eyes of former teacher Tom Mason, who has one son detained by the Skitterers (for some reason, they like taking kids) and is trying to make sure his other two boys don’t get lured into the same trap. He’s fighting with a resistance army and trying to live his life as normally as possible. This series so far feels a bit like the “Terminator” franchise with this resistance movement (oh, and Moon Bloodgood’s going to be playing the camp doctor — she was one of the best parts of T4, tbh), and since I grew up with “Terminator”, this series already feels familiar. It’s not copying anything or ripping anything off, but it is interesting how humans are trying to “stay off the radar” just like they are in “Terminator”. But that’s where the similarities end; we didn’t build these Skitterers. Or at least, I’m pretty sure we didn’t, according to the information given in this prequel graphic novel. Needless to say, I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to see the show in June. The one thing that did kind of annoy me about this prequel was the lack of explaining the origin of the Skitterers — why did they come to Earth and start bombing the crap out of everything? Did we tempt them to do it? Do they really hate us, or do they need our (dwindling) natural resources? And did the military have anything to do with it? For a prequel, you’d think that it’d start at the very very beginning with all of that explained, or at least hinted at/shown. I really hope that the series reveals this within the first few episodes, otherwise I’m probably not going to be able to pay attention out of frustration for lack of answers.

  • Into the Woods
    Into the Woods Fairy Tales & the Stories They Tell UNIV 1784-14 Fall 2015 [Thursdays 3:30-4:20] Dr. Susanna Cowan are evidence that the familiar tales of witches, sorcery (both good and evil), dark woods, vir- ginal young women and brave rescuers still at- tract audiences even hundreds of years after their earliest versions circulated the villages and towns of northern Europe, Asia and Africa on the lips of storytellers. In this course we’ll try figure out just what it is about these stories that we have found so com- pelling across the centuries and across so many cultures and retellings. Is it the “timeless” themes? Is it the happy endings? (Are they al- ways happy?) Do the anxieties of fairy tales (evil step-mothers, poison apples, dangerous forests, etc.) still somehow speak to us in 2015? In order to answer these questions, we’ll keep ourselves busy reading stories (old and new), watching films (old and new) and considering what a few fairy tale “experts” have to say. Be prepared for non-stop but quick reading and a fair bit of out-of-class film watching so that we Into the Woods (The Plot)… have plenty to talk about. Assignments will vary from regular short journal Into the woods. Again. And again and -like writing assignments to a brief midterm again. The infatuation with and hunger for group presentation, and a final analytical and/or fairy tale plots, characters and settings seems creative project of your own devising. There will insatiable and ubiquitous. They are the stuff be plenty of room for imaginative reflection in of our daily lives.

  • Dressing in American Telefantasy
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy.
