Men of War 1: Uneasy Company. Reprints Men of War (2) #1-8 (November 2011-June 2012). Corporal Joseph Rock finds himself in the heat of battle fighting a war that is about to get a lot stranger. With the rise of superheroes, a soldier’s classification as a “hero” is about to change and what makes a hero will become in question. Be it Frankenstein and a robot taking on Nazis in World War II or an agent on a secret mission in Afghanistan to take out an opioid smuggler, heroes come in all forms…war is hell! Men of War Volume 1: Uneasy Company features stories by Ivan Brandon, Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, Jonathan Vankin, James Robinson, J.T. Krul, B. Clay Moore, and John Arcudi and art by various artists. The comic was one of the launch titles of DC Comics’ New 52 universe after the events of Flashpoint . It was cancelled after eight issues. Men of War was doomed. War comics were a real niche, and like Westerns, the war comics’ time seems to have come and gone. When Men of War was announced as one of the titles being released, it was a really interesting choice in that sense…but the comic failed to fly. The series is primarily made up of the six issue “Uneasy Company” story that introduces Sergeant Rock into the New 52 (along with some other classic DC war characters like Gravedigger). This story is all over the place and feels really under cooked. They introduce the idea that superheroes exist in this world where men are still fighting with guns and bombs, but it really doesn’t go deeper than that…who are the real heroes? Rock is also indicated to have something special about him that never gets developed due to the series cancellation. There are two stand-alone issues that represent two different types of war stories. You have “Remembering the Leopard” which is a bit of a “real world” war story with a soldier going on a solo mission to take down the terrorist. The last story “Dead Man Flying” is a “weird war” type of story with fantasy and horror elements featuring Frankenstein (who had his own title Frankenstein and the Agents of S.H.A.D.E. ) and the old G.I. Robot character from DC’s character graveyard…neither issue really worked because they were too quickly developed with one-issue stories. The primary stories of each issue have back-up stories and these stories feel like throwaways. They are slim and really do feel like filler instead of short stories that didn’t have enough meat to carry their own issue. They are a good example of why a comic like this struggles in today’s comic book market. I don’t know if Men of War failed because it was a war comic or if it failed because it wasn’t that good. The art was average and the story should really have been about exploring this real dichotomy of the everyman fighting a battle in a world where there are men can fly, aliens invade, and the heroes were spandex instead of fatigues. Men of War didn’t explore this enough…if it had, I might have kept reading. Men of War 1: Uneasy Company. Reprints Men of War (2) #1-8 (November 2011-June 2012).

Men of War didn’t explore this enough…if it had, I might have kept reading. Men of War Vol. 1: Uneasy Company by Ivan Brandon. Sgt Rock is DC’s primary war character, Easy Company his supporting cast, but they’re rooted in World War II, so it’s his grandson who features in modern era missions. He first seems to be far from a chip off the old block, resisting promotion and having problems with authority, yet as Ivan Brandon and Tom Derenick’s lead story shows, place in him action and the timeless Rock reactions kick in. He’s decisive, and above all heroic. Where Rock and his troops are in action is never specified, but most of those they’re fighting have a vague Middle Eastern look about them. While that edges toward propaganda, beyond that there’s no ideology involved. As soldiers, Rock and company need someone to fight, and the USA’s official 21 st century wars have been with Arabic nations. These aren’t straightforward stories of army combat, however. Rock is placed in world of superhumans and has to deal with them. It’s an awkward fusion. While escalating the threat renders Rock even more heroic, it also removes several levels of credibility. This is no longer believable as an extremely well trained ordinary man overcoming great odds. Were someone writing about Bruce Wayne’s financial dealings to refer to premium over straight bond value, Maastricht Criteria, and macroeconomic transaction leverage, it would be dull, and more than likely edited out.

  • In the Shadow of War
    (. o tL ý(-ct 5 /ýkOO IN THE SHADOW OF WAR Continuities and Discontinuities in the construction of the identities masculine of British soldiers, 1914 - 1924 i W" NLARGARET MILLNUN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirementsof the University of Greenwich for the Degree of Doctor of PHosophy July 2002 ABSTRACT The upheavalsof the cataclysmof the First World War reverberatedthrough every comer of British society, how society was reconstructedafterwards is the subject of enormouscritical debate. This study examineshow masculinitieswere disrupted and. reconstructedduring and after the war. It is a study of British men, previously civilians, who becameservicemen in the First World War. It aims to map the continuitiesand discontinuitiesin the construction of their masculineidentities during war and in its aftermath in the 1920s. Pioneeredby feminist scholarsconcerned with analysingthe historical construction of femininity, the study of gender relations has becomea significant area of historical enquiry. This has resulted in a substantialbody of historical scholarshipon the history of masculinitiesand the increasingvisibility of men as genderedsubjects whose masculinities are lived and imagined. This thesis is informed by, and engageswith, the histories of masculinities. It also draws on recent historical researchon the cultural legacy of the war. The first chapter explores the subjectiveresponses to becominga soldier through an examinationof personalmemoirs; largely unpublishedsources drawn from memoriesand written or recordedby men as narrativesof their wartime experiences.The subject of the secondchapter is shell shock. The outbreak of shell shock among the troops aroused anxietiesabout masculinity. The competing versionsof masculinitieswhich emergedin military and medical discoursesis examined. Returning to individual memoirs,the chapter examineshow men producedtheir own representationsof the shell shockedman contesting other versions.

  • The Critical I Online Anthology Edited by Lucy Scholes 25 April 2013
    The Critical I online anthology Edited by Lucy Scholes 25 April 2013 The Critical I was a five-week course for the public inviting a unique exploration of the art of criticism, offering participants an opportunity to hone their critical eyes and develop their critical faculties. The aim of the course was to encourage critical thinking, introducing participants to different ways and approaches to assess the art works in front of them regardless of the contextual information available. This online anthology is the creative outcome of The Critical I course that ran over five Monday evenings at Tate Modern in February and March 2013. Thirty participants had the opportunity to explore and critically respond to works in Tate’s collection as well as the A Bigger Splash: Painting After Performance and Lichtenstein: A Retrospective exhibitions. We are delighted to share this selection of written pieces with you. Response to Lichtenstein: A Retrospective 1 Room Four: War and Romance Paul Meakins Oh, Roy… I love you, too… 3 Navann Ty Author!
