H-Announce Superheroes and the Immigrant Experience (NeMLA 2019) Announcement published by Rafael Ponce-Cordero on Monday, July 16, 2018 Type: Call for Papers Date: September 30, 2018 Location: District Of Columbia, United States Subject Fields: Cultural History / Studies, Film and Film History, Immigration & Migration History / Studies, Popular Culture Studies The superhero-as-outsider has been a narrative told for decades since Superman’s parents sent him on a rocket from Krypton to Earth. The immigration narrative is closely aligned with extraterrestrial heroes, including refugees such as the Martian Manhunter and Icon. Yet a superhero does not have to be from another planet to experience the process of immigration: in justX-Men , Charles Xavier, Deadpool, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Storm all work outside their nations of birth, and Magneto forms Genosha as an international sanctuary for mutants persecuted by their governments. Recent films such as Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther examine the challenges of being forced out of one’s home and taking on the role of an exile. How has the superhero served as a metaphor for immigration? How have the experiences of immigrant writers, illustrators, and audiences influenced our interpretations of these texts? How have recent works such as Marvel’sRunaways and DC’s Super-Sons depicted experiences of second-generation citizens of extraterrestrial descent such as Karolina Dean and Superman’s son Jon Kent? This session will examine immigration in multiple contexts, including US superheroes migrating to other countries, metaphorical representations of immigrants’ experiences, and how real-life policies and prejudices are addressed in the more fantastical worlds of superheroes. Please submit a 300-word abstract and brief biographical statement by September 30, 2018 directly through NeMLA's system: https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/17585 The 50th Annual NeMLA Convention will take place in Washington, DC on March 21-24, 2019.

Wolverine Logan, of the X-Men and the New Avengers
Religious Affiliation of Comics Book Characters The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Character Wolverine Logan, of the X-Men and the New Avengers http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/Wolverine.html Wolverine is the code name of the Marvel Comics character who was long known simply as "Logan." (Long after his introduction, the character's real name was revealed to be "James Howlett.") Although originally a relatively minor character introduced in The Incredible Hulk #180-181 (October - November, 1974), the character eventually became Marvel's second-most popular character (after Spider-Man). Wolverine was for many years one of Marvel's most mysterious characters, as he had no memory of his earlier life Above: Logan and the origins of his distinctive (Wolverine) prays at a Adamantium skeleton and claws.

Film Review: X-Men 2 (X-Men United) Anti-Racist Religious Education
Film review: X-Men 2 (X-Men United) Anti-racist religious education X-Men 2 (X-Men United) Review by: Luke J Blaylock What is this film about? The film is an adaptation of the X-Men story ‘God loves man kills’ in which a group of heroes and villains who were all born with special powers join forces to stop a fanatic from exterminating them. In the original X men comics, the X-Men represent Black Americans, and by the time this film was made, the X-Men stand for those marginalised and oppressed. What age group and RE topic does it link to? 11-14s, 14s-16s Discrimination, representation of religious groups in film (Nightcrawler is a Christian in both the film and comics) and erasure of religious themes when turning literature into film (the comic is more explicitly about faith interacting with discrimination). What did you love about it? The scene in question is an excellent example of how anti-racism is taught within a minority community as Mystique, a mutant whose power is to morph into other people but is naturally blue, speaks to Nightcrawler about why she chooses to remain in her true shape. Nightcrawler is a demonic looking mutant who cannot ‘pass’ as human and faces discrimination for it. He still regards discrimination as personal baggage and wishes away his identity, but Mystique explains the only worthwhile path is change. This film popularised the phrase ‘Magneto was right’ shorthand for believing human nature is inherently tribal and the oppressed groups within society have every right to violent resistance as no other method will be effective.

See X-Statix, below, for the Omnibus that collects these issues and a description of the run. Yay Congrats on season 5! Upon X-Force's return to the present, they capture Mystique and argue over whether or not to kill Evan. A must buy. Conn — Thanks so much for the catch! Other than that, I feel like Wolverine is the only character that doesn't really shine through in this book. List vol. Jan 18, Eric rated it really liked it. Lastly we have Mark Brooks. I had also had some ideas of what I had heard so many good things about Remender's "Uncanny X-Force" and having read some of his other works and enjoying them, I was looking forward to reading this collection when I found it at the library. Amazon Music Stream millions of songs. More From Various. Co-stars Dr. Remender obviously knows these characters well. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. The team faces The Final Horsemen and suffers pestilence and plagues in graphic detail: boils and pustules rupture while Wolverine is nearly cleaved in half by an axe-wielding avatar of War. I will definitely be picking up volume 2 of this really soon. A heavy reliance on past events, clunky pacing, and questionable ret-cons were some of the lows.
