Yet the man is capable of some extraordinary work — brilliant, funny with plenty of love and respect for the history of comics. With New X-Men, one of a handful of Marvel titles he wrote, Morrison, in his manifesto included in this book, wanted the X-books to return to the halcyon days of Byrne and Claremont, exciting times before the X-titles became inert and mind-numbing. For the most part he succeeded. Back in the day, I remember looking forward to picking up this title in single issues. This is the culmination of the run that Morrison had planned out from the beginning with the only head scratcher being the final story line from the future. Wolverine recruits a drunken Cyclops at the Hellfire Club. Along with Fantomax Vive le Fanotmax! Logan learns Weapon X history stuff. After hiding behind his Xorn disguise, Magneto, hopped on Kick the song lyrics at the beginning of the review finally make sensea humdinger mutant- power enhancing crack, does the full reveal and finally punks the X-Men. But Magneto goes balls to the wall to create a new mutant paradise in Manhattan. Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 times are Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 mixed bag. Frank Quietly helped set Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 tone with Morrison in the beginning of the run. In this volume, a different artist takes a turn for each story arc. Thanks, Grant!! No worries for Wolverine, being pee-shy is not a secondary mutant ability. Jul 12, Dan Schwent rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Assault on Weapon Plus was an action-fest. The who shot Emma Frost subplot didn't really move forward at all, though. I liked that Marvel finally had the guts to reveal something about Wolverine's past after more than 30 years. Planet X: Xorn Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 a revolt inside Xavier's school and his true identity is revealed. Meanwhile, Wolverine and Jean Grey are on an asteroid that's headed into the sun, Beast and Emma Frost go down in a plane crash, and Cyclops and Fantomex have crashed a space shuttle into the ocean. All the seeds Morrison planted earlier in his run have bore fruit. Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 Phoenix is unleashed, Cyclops steps up, and lots of mutants die. That's about all I can say without spoiling too much. Instead of a glimpse of Damian as Batman, we get a dark future where The Beast is a maniacal super villain. It was okay but ultimately pointless. It was no Days of the Future Past. Thus concludes Grant Morrison's run on the X-Men. It wasn't perfect but it was damn good. Too bad a pretty big plot twist was revealed on the cover. View all 9 comments. Mar 06, James DeSantis rated it really liked it. Finished the run that is considered one of the best of all time for X-men and I'm inclined to agree now that it is finished. The story starts with Summers not having a good day. So Logan goes to check up on him at a bar and ask him for a favor. This leads to going after X Wolverine, Weapon 13, and Cyclops go together to track him down. On top of that Xorn makes his move, and we finally see his true intentions. Last but not least is a story of the possible future and what could be. I loved th Finished the run that is considered one of the best of all time for X-men and I'm inclined to agree now that it is finished. I loved the hell out of the Xorn storyline. It has everything you hope. Political message, great fights, epic scale, and wonderful character moments. I also enjoyed the heck out of weapon 15, he was scary, but also kind of sad. The last storyline was the weakest by far in the whole run and could have been better. Overall though Grant's run ends strong and I have to agree, as a Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 fan, it's one of the best. Jun 14, Rory Wilding rated it liked it. As for those who purchased this volume will be very aware of the front cover as it gives away a major spoiler: Xorn — the Chinese mutant with a "star for a brain" — is the Master of Magnetism himself. No doubt the grim nature will be unpleasant for some readers, but certainly the most touching moment is a quiet scene between Jean Grey and Wolverine who are left stranded in space. As much as a romance was never blossomed between the two as Wolverine previously stated that it could never work, they have always respected each other and how they share feelings telepathically in front on certain death, is truly heart-breaking and special praise to artist Phil Jimenez and inker Andy Lanning who nailed this emotional scene. No doubt the ideas here are so out-there that how it all adds up is ultimately nonsensical, especially how it alters a broken timeline. This final arc was in the hands of artist Marc Silvestri who has previously drawn X-Men as his Jim Lee-ish illustrations are a nice fit to the bleak future. View all 3 comments. Apr 01, RG rated it liked it. There were 3 separate story arcs in here. Some were a little confusing, some awesome, and others didnt really end, were building other stories for future comics. I didn't find this as interesting as the previous 2 books. A solid Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection Book 3 though. Definitely would recommend this Morrison run though. Jul 25, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. Then we get the big reveal which is on the cover — turns out Xorn, the Chinese mutant with a sun in his head was in fact Magneto all along! Then of course Magneto tries to destroy humanity and make mutants the superior race on Earth yet again but this time when the X-Men are scattered and vulnerable he just sits around brooding, biding his time for no real reason to set his plan in motion.

  • 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.

Although their ascendency points towards European ancestors, and although non-American heroes have been sharing their characteristics for a long time, among them Obelix, Diabolik and many manga characters, the cape and costume genre remains firmly grounded in the United States. It is thus unsurprising that, with a brief exception during the Second World War, super hero narratives should have taken place mostly in the United States (although Metropolis, Superman’s headquarter, was notoriously based on Toronto) or in outer space.

  • Katalog Zur Ausstellung "60 Jahre Marvel
    Liebe Kulturfreund*innen, bereits seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs befasst sich das Amerikahaus München mit US- amerikanischer Kultur. Als US-amerikanische Behörde war es zunächst für seine Bibliothek und seinen Lesesaal bekannt. Doch schon bald wurde das Programm des Amerikahauses durch Konzerte, Filmvorführungen und Vorträge ergänzt. Im Jahr 1957 zog das Amerika- haus in sein heutiges charakteristisches Gebäude ein und ist dort, nach einer vierjährigen Generalsanierung, seit letztem Jahr wieder zu finden. 2014 gründete sich die Stiftung Bay- erisches Amerikahaus, deren Träger der Freistaat Bayern ist. Heute bietet das Amerikahaus der Münchner Gesellschaft und über die Stadt- und Landesgrenzen hinaus ein vielfältiges Programm zu Themen rund um die transatlantischen Beziehungen – die Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada und Lateinamerika- und dem Schwerpunkt Demokratie an. Unsere einladenden Aus- stellungräume geben uns die Möglichkeit, Werke herausragender Künstler*innen zu zeigen. Mit dem Comicfestival München verbindet das Amerikahaus eine langjährige Partnerschaft. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir mit der Ausstellung „60 Jahre Marvel Comics Universe“ bereits die fünfte Ausstellung im Rahmen des Comicfestivals bei uns im Haus zeigen können. In der Vergangenheit haben wir mit unseren Ausstellungen einzelne Comickünstler, wie Tom Bunk, Robert Crumb oder Denis Kitchen gewürdigt. Vor zwei Jahren freute sich unser Publikum über die Ausstellung „80 Jahre Batman“. Dieses Jahr schließen wir mit einem weiteren Jubiläum an und feiern das 60-jährige Bestehen des Marvel-Verlags. Im Mainstream sind die Marvel- Helden durch die in den letzten Jahren immer beliebter gewordenen Blockbuster bekannt geworden, doch Spider-Man & Co. gab es schon lange davor. Das Comic-Heft „Fantastic Four #1“ gab vor 60 Jahren den Startschuss des legendären Marvel-Universums.

It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................
