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.

Contact: [email protected] ‘Superman believes that a wife’s place is in the home’: Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane and the representation of women Michael Goodrum Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane ran from 1958-1974 and stands as a microcosm of contemporary debates about women and their place in American society. The title itself suggests many of the topics about which women were concerned, or at least were supposed to concern them: the mediation of identity through heterosexual partnership, the pressure to marry and the simultaneous emphasis placed on individual achievement. Concerns about marriage and Lois’ ability to enter into it routinely provide the sole narrative dynamic for stories and Superman engages in different methods of avoiding the matrimonial schemes devised by Lois or her main romantic rival, Lana Lang.

Brand Battles: 'Monopoly,' Coca-Cola, 'Kryptonite' - Law360
3/11/2019 Brand Battles: 'Monopoly,' Coca-Cola, 'Kryptonite' - Law360 Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] Brand Battles: 'Monopoly,' Coca-Cola, 'Kryptonite' By Bill Donahue Law360 (March 8, 2019, 6:24 PM EST) -- In Law360's latest roundup of new actions at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, Hasbro takes on a “Drinkopoly” trademark, Coca-Cola says a popular brand of cocktail mixer can't use "Simply," and Monster Energy finds itself on the receiving end of an opposition after it tries to register a "Kryptonite" trademark. Do Not Pass Go Hasbro Inc., the toy giant that sells Monopoly, asked the board this week to block a Croatian company from registering a “Drinkopoly” logo as a trademark. In a notice of opposition, Hasbro said the sound-alike name and logo would confuse consumers – and the company had pretty impressive stats to back up the claim. “From 1934 to present, Hasbro has sold more than 220 million sets of the Monopoly board game,” the company wrote, citing the year the game was first sold by Parker Brothers, which was later acquired by Hasbro. “From 2007 to present, Hasbro's sales of products under its Monopoly marks worldwide have exceeded $3,000,000,000,” the company wrote. “The Monopoly board game is sold in over 26 languages in more than 80 countries around the world.” Over the past two years, Hasbro has filed similar cases against applications to register “Monopoly Movement,” “Alec Monopoly,” “Monopoly Enterprises,” “Slotopoly" and “Monopoly Hotels and Resorts.” Hasbro is represented by Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz PC.

What's Your Kryptonite
BUCYRUS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH August 26, 2018 “WHAT’S YOUR KRYPTONITE” Pastor Mike Corwin TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 GOD’S WORD: COLOSSIANS 3:1-11 I – SUPERMAN: Most of you, my age or older, will remember hearing on the radio or the TV – “faster than a speeding bullet…more powerful than a locomotive…able to leap tall buildings in a single bound…Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane!...It’s superman! And then we knew it was time to sit down to listen or to watch the latest episode of the superhero Superman. He was created by the minds of men in Cleveland, Ohio and made his debut in Action Comics #1 on April 18, 1938 and he has entertained us and amazed generations of people ever since. How could you not like a man who came to earth to avoid destruction, was stronger than any human being, could fly, think faster, run faster, freeze things with his breath, and on top of it all had x-ray vision. He could do anything, especially what we couldn’t. I know he was sometimes given a darker side in the modern movies, but not in the original shows. He was truly a hero who watched over and protected the people of this planet. He was invincible and could not be defeated. He had no weaknesses…except one. Kryptonite! Kryptonite was the radioactive element from his home planet of Krypton. When he got close to its ore form he was sapped of all his strength and super powers.
