Still thanks to my new mind I could go whole ham with the panic on the inside while also presenting a calm facade outwards. “Why should I not call your father’s foes and tell the of you and your sibling?” The Watcher spoke sternly, like an elderly grandfather who had just gotten tired of dealing with children being so wild and rambunctious. “We mean to defend this beautiful blue pearl.” I smiled as I turned to the Watcher’s viewport. Truly the ancient being had the best view I’d ever seen. “Oh?” Uatu didn’t sound surprised, but he did sound interested. “I personally want to live free of father’s influence a while longer and he tends to stay far from Earth since his little Herald ran off here.” I explained. “I think he’s just giving the Surfer some room while he tries another hair-brained fasting diets or something. Still, we get some room to breath and grow on our own and he does… well he does what he does.” “And when your sister and you finally get hungry, what then?” The elder being asked.”Should I just allow you to consume the world I’ve watched grow into the ‘beautiful blue pearl’ as you put it?” “No,” I flipped my hand up and an illusion sent reality away to show a wild world filled with predators where the law of the jungle was the only law that mattered, “Logan-1, a deathworld which has, at it’s very basic levels, a regeneration factor that can easily feed both my sister and myself, as long as we don’t gorge ourselves too much. I’m keeping it hidden away in Sol behind some Reality-Pattern Camouflage.” “Hmm,” the Watcher gazed as the illusion swept through the world, “and your outfit?” “I went to an alternate reality for a weekend and found some guy flaunting it.” I smiled as the memory surfaced with the explanation. “I liked the look of it so I took the from him. Guy was kind of being a dick to the Iron Man of that world anyway.” “You’re telling me you took a set of the most powerful relics from the Mandarin of some alternate Earth... because you liked the look of the armor that it summoned?” Uatu must practice that blank faced stoic look, because it was like his face was carved out of marble. “Basically, yeah.” I replied. I reached up to scratch my nose and wound up hitting the helm’s face. “I’m planning on upgrading it a bit before going out on anything more than a milk run, but I really wanted to speak to you.” “So, what is it that this visit is supposed to do, other than assure me of your childish kleptomania and naivete?” The Watcher deadpanned. “My sister’s wish to protect the world aside. I have another reason why I’m doing this.” I said before I flexed my Power Cosmic and felt it as more of me bled into the world, a reminder ​ ​ of who I was before all this power. “What is that?” The Watcher spoke with the type of reverent awe that only came from thinking you’d seen everything and then being shown something completely new. “I was once, in a life before this one, a simple human.” I said as the Liar painted my life in high speed around us. “Then, she came. She offered to grant me power, money, and most important to me, importance. She said that as long as I kept her entertained she’d keep me moving forward.” The the air flushed with color. “She made me important, she made me matter. I’ll spend the next thousand lifetimes paying her back for that kindness.” “I suppose she’s fetching to your more human sensibilities?” Uatu asked as I smiled up at the figure the Liar had helped me recreate. “More than that really.” I said with a sigh as the projection from the Liar faded. “She’s something more than me, but she’s something I can believe in. Have faith in. She’s not just a pretty face, she’s a being so above me she arraigned for my rebirth into this world. In order to entertain her I will do anything, but first I must spend a decade here upon this Earth. I must defend its peoples and keep in one piece while discovering my powers and learning the uses for this power.” “And my place in all this?” Uatu asked. “I need you to warn me as well as the other heroes you’re so soft on. I don’t have the weight to make you intervene directly, but you can keep up the good work you’ve already been doing with one more link to your little phone chain.” “Hmm,” the Watcher stared out at the blue of Earth for a long while, “fine, though I will be honest.” His eyes turned to me once more. “I’ll be watching you with great interest. Galan, Son of Galactus.” I told myself that the Liar and the armor could block his view of my face when I heard that. I told myself it was raining and that’s why my cheeks were wet. I tell myself many things, but the fact that Galactus had named me after his own Taa-an name really choked me up I’ll admit. .

    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

  • The Uatu System for Visualizing Networked Writing Activity
    The Uatu System for Visualizing Networked Writing Activity J. Holden Hill, Phillip Parli-Horne, Paul Gestwicki Brian McNely Computer Science Department English Department [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] Ball State University Computer Science Department Technical Report 2011-01 June 3, 2011 Abstract Over the course of an academic year, two students and a pair of faculty advisors have written software to visualize how participants collaborate on networked writing projects. Using Google Docs as a way to allow students to instantaneously interact with a document in real-time, this software captures data from Google’s cloud service and displays it in a pair of visualizations. We used agile methods of software development to devise a way to implement their ideas in an appealing way. This document contains detailed instructions on where the latest iteration of the software can be located. It also details the process of making the system operational on a new machine, stating how the software works and where it should be placed in the file system. The document also explains how one can use the system to visualize writing collaboration. Finally, many failed iterations of the software have led to meaningful reflections on software development practices. The document elaborates on the hardships of development, as well as provides insight on how this software may evolve toward richer experiences. 1Primary contact 1 1. Introduction The Uatu project is designed to visualize collaborations in a digital workspace. The name comes from the Marvel Comics character, Uatu the Watcher, who is tasked with watching over the universe; in the same way, this software watches over revisions of Google Documents and stores their information for later access.

  • CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: the History of the Drug Supplier and Cult Leader Known As the Black Talon Is Currently Unrevealed
    BLACK TALON Villain Real Name: Unrevealed. Occupation: Cult leader, drug supplier. Identity: Secret. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States (Puerto Rico) with no criminal record. Other Aliases: The Living Loa, "Chicken-head". Place of Birth: Presumably somewhere in Puerto Rico. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: Head of his own voodoo cult. Base of Operations: A sugar/cocaine plantation in Puerto Rico. First Post-Reboot Appearance: CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: The history of the drug supplier and cult leader known as the Black Talon is currently unrevealed. At some point in the past, he learned the art of voodoo and put that talent to work in raising zombies to work a farm – in reality a Colonial-era plantation he either inherited or acquired – where he grew marijuana and coca plants alongside sugar cane (the plantation's legitimate crop). At the same time, he began a cult of voodoo worshippers who revered him as a "living loa" (the "loa" being the spirits or gods – the line between them is often blurred – invoked by voodoo practitioners.). In time, he became one of the largest suppliers of marijuana and cocaine in the Caribbean, with contacts in Miami, Havana, San Juan, and New Orleans. Black Talon's operations first came into conflict with the current generation of superheroes when a rocket launched by NASA carrying a payload of a powerful nerve gas to be disposed of by being sent into the sun was sabotaged and landed off the coast from his plantation. This brought him into conflict with Captain Marvel, who was under orders from his superior, Colonel Yon-Rogg, to release the nerve gas on a human settlement (see Captain Marvel; Yon-Rogg).

This Table tells the Story of the Event by means on a Pinball; blending Artwork with Audio Cues to truly make you feel like you are living through said Event. It features great gameplay; it really delves into the virtual aspect of these Tables as it contains crazy Modes such as flipping the Table upside down or slowing down time.

Add to cart Very Good. Jul 31, Stephen Snyder rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic-novels , marvel-comics , avengers , captain-america , iron-man , thor-marvel-comics-character , new-york-ny , superheroes , vision , quicksilver. The only thing that kept me reading was "Michael's" humorous casual wear, shorts and all. More will be heard from him later You wo I have mixed feelings on this one. It has been graded by MyComicShop's experienced graders. This will likely increase the time it takes for your changes to go live. Then on earth the Avangers and Guardians faces different threats like Ultron, the Collector and Korvac is biding his time. Hawkeye, Iron Man, Thor, and the Wasp. The letters page includes a letter from comics editor Kevin Dooley. Okay, so the Avengers track him down to his home in Forest Hills, Queens, where he lives with Carina. Korvac feels like a less weird and therefore less interesting version of the Beyonder. The comic are definitely original. If you use the "Add to want list" tab to add this issue to your want list, we will email you when it becomes available. Realizing that he has been discovered, and that cosmic entities such as Odin and the Watcher are now aware of his existence, Korvac is forced into battle. He basically loses because of ennui, I guess.
