Gavin King grew up in Gotham dreaming of becoming a professional dancer and singer. His ambitions made him a target for local bullies, and after one too many beatings, Orpheus Rising began studying the martial arts, excelling at them from the start. His father, a TV sports producer, and his mother, a former professional dancer, were very supportive—as long as he completed his college education. Having reached his goal in his late teens, King toured the world as part of a famous dance troupe, but his travels exposed him to a world full of famine, poverty, violence, prejudice and lack of faith. King tried to Orpheus Rising these unfortunates on more than one occasion, nearly getting himself killed in the process. Eventually, he was recruited by a secret organization dedicated to correcting some of the world's problems. Getting special training and technological support in the form of a stealth-circuitry-enhanced costume, King became Orpheus — a force against evil and ignorance. Reasoning that Gotham City needed a black hero, Orpheus returned to his native city as a successful entertainment producer as well as a crimefighter. Orpheus' first cases in led him into contact with the Batmanwho was not fond of the debut of another inexperienced vigilante in Gotham, Orpheus Rising still recognized Orpheus Orpheus Rising a competent force for good. During the 'War Games' story arc which took place Orpheus Rising several Batman-related issues, Spoilerdesperate to prove herself, took one of Batman's contingency plans and set it into action. The plan was to get all of Gotham's crime lords under the control of Orpheus, an agent of Batman, and therefore under the control of Batman himself. The plan failed because Spoiler was unaware that the man who was set Orpheus Rising meet with the crime lords, Matches Malonewas really just one of Batman's disguises. When "Matches Malone" did not show the meeting quickly broke out into a Orpheus Rising, leaving many dead. When Spoiler comes to tell Orpheus what he must do to reclaim the situation, Black Mask appeared from Orpheus Rising shadows and slit Orpheus's throat before torturing Stephanie to learn the extent of the plans so that he can instead appear inside Orpheus's stealth suit.

An interesting story which I found a departure from the other Batemans that I have read. It rolls along reasonably and the main characters are well defined and sufficiently different. His Orpheus Rising sardonicism still shines through, albeit with less humour than other stories. I liked the turn of the story in the back third of the book as well.

He can't believe his eyes when he sees Claire, right t "You have to understand this. He can't believe his eyes when he sees Claire, right there in Orpheus Rising, though. Could she still be alive? I have seriously mixed feelings about this book. Initially, I was really confused as to the sudden turn of events, which I absolutely did not see coming and thought to be really odd. But as the story went on, I learned to enjoy the way it was going. Until the end, that is. I am not sure, I agree Orpheus Rising that. The characters I did not particularly like. Ambrose, Michael's companion, a cheating drunk and full-of-himself Pulitzer winner, I probably disliked the most. Also, I can't quite understand the Orpheus Rising about Claire. Why is everybody just dying to be with Orpheus Rising By no means did this novel blow my mind, but once you've made it through the first half of it, it really picks up its speed and Orpheus Rising an interesting, sometimes funny, all in all enjoyable read.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette
    Tracing Eurydice: Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette Master’s Thesis in The Department of Communication Studies Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Media Studies) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2013 © Ryan Cadrette, 2013 iii Abstract Tracing Eurydice: Adaptation and Narrative Structure in the Orpheus Myth Ryan Cadrette The primary purpose of this thesis is to postulate a working method of critical inquiry into the processes of narrative adaptation by examining the consistencies and ruptures of a story as it moves across representational form. In order to accomplish this, I will draw upon the method of structuralist textual analysis employed by Roland Barthes in his essay S/Z to produce a comparative study of three versions of the Orpheus myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. By reviewing the five codes of meaning described by Barthes in S/Z through the lens of contemporary adaptation theory, I hope to discern a structural basis for the persistence of adapted narrative. By applying these theories to texts in a variety of different media, I will also assess the limitations of Barthes’ methodology, evaluating its utility as a critical tool for post-literary narrative forms. iv Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Peter van Wyck, for his reassurance that earlier drafts of this thesis were not necessarily indicative of insanity, and, hopefully, for his forgiveness of my failure to incorporate all of his particularly insightful feedback. I would also like to thank Matt Soar and Darren Wershler for agreeing to actually read the peculiar monstrosity I have assembled here.

Dissonance Volume 1. I love seeing Malebolgia and listening to Count Cogliostro. Includes the classic "Christmas" issue as well as the double-sized issue 50! Revisit stories of deception and betrayal,with Al's former boss, Jason Wynn, in the center of it all. Jun 08, Julian rated it it was ok Shelves: comic-books , spawn. Average rating 3. I was aware of Neil Gaiman's legal battles over Angela, Cogliostro and Medieval Spawn but I had no idea the extent to which later issues would continually refer back to ideas which were outsourced. View basket. Showing I dunno they don't tell you much and it's a odd place to start. Another darn good volume of Spawn. Spawn: Origins, Volume 9. United Kingdom. And for years, the passengers and crew of the vessel Orpheus found the endless void between realities to be a surprisingly peaceful home. Spawn: Hell On Earth. Then the last one is kind of a weird one about Spawn seeing a different outlook on things and maybe not being a complete dick to everyone he meets all the time. Anyway next 4 issues begin the "Hunt" which has basically put Terry, Spawn's friend, in the middle of a all out war and everyone wants him done. Brit, Volume 1: Old Soldier. Seller Inventory ADI The guest writers on the early Spawn titles Moore, Morrison and Gaiman really hit it out of the park by establishing interesting lore that had implications for the whole Spawn universe.

  • In the Footsteps of Orpheus
    In the Footsteps of Orpheus Trackers, with Hidden Noise It is in broad daylight that they, in turn, prepare to track down the origin or the source of the noise that will lead them toward the one they are looking for, whom they do not even know yet. T ey are trackers. I would like to follow them in their ancient hunt, whose story now I hold in my hands: T ese pages from which their subdued cries and barks resound as if from far away. T e transmission has been quite bad for a long time now: In the papyrus of Sophocles’ T e Trackers, the mutilated passages are so numerous that despite the ef orts of philologists to restore them the text reads like a truncated telegram. Amid the cracklings of the line (which every now and then jumps abruptly), I hear these fragments: Let’s go . your feet, your step . Courage! Courage! . Oh, oh! Yes, you . forward, the thief . through cunning . coming to the end . How, by what means these clandes- tine, nocturnal thef s, hastily . if by accident, I were to f nd it . 118856-Szendy_AllEars.indd8856-Szendy_AllEars.indd 5959 99/21/16/21/16 111:081:08 AAMM Hello? Yes, I am listening, but the reception is very bad. It would appear that this is the chorus, yes, a chorus of satyrs that, following the commands of Silenus, who is their guide and chief, decided to pursue the thief responsible for stealing Apollo’s cattle in order to earn the promised reward. A little later—and I do understand it better now—Silenus speaks of “track[ing] down the abductor, the predator, the thief.” Furthermore, where the Sophoclean signal is truly scrambled, I can still get a connection through another line: To the extent that I can corroborate the information of one text by another, the play takes up again the argument of the Homeric hymn to Hermes.

  • Batman and Comics in Academia an Exhibition Highlighting the Importance of Graphic Novels As a Tool in Literacy
    Batman and Comics in Academia An exhibition highlighting the importance of graphic novels as a tool in literacy Organized by the University of Malta Library in collaboration with Graphic Novels Library Malta November 2014 The University of Malta Library in collaboration with Graphic Novels Library Malta in celebration of 75 years of Batman organised an exhibition titled: Batman and Comics in Academia: An exhibition highlighting the importance of graphic novels as a tool in literacy The exhibition was held at the University of Malta Library’s exhibition area. The exhibition started from Monday 17th November till Wednesday 3rd December. It consisted of a collection of Batman related graphic novels and comics that have shaped the character we know today. Batman first appeared in issue No. 27 of Detective Comics in May 1939. He was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger and originally named "the Bat-Man". He is also referred to as "the Caped Crusader", "the Dark Knight", and "the World's Greatest Detective". Seventy-five (75) years have passed and the character’s influence is stronger than ever having crossed film, television and video-games. Comics and graphic novels are researched in various areas of studies such as arts, education, communication, translation, and philosophy. Further research is being carried out in these fields, which help to outline the benefits of reading comics and the impact they have on society in general. A number of publications owned by the University Library and dissertations from this University are on a display, each illustrating different areas of the comic book medium from an academic perspective.
